I'd like to see these two in a skills competition..... send them both down the field and throw up a "hail mary" and see which one comes down with it!!! Wow, they have to be the two best frisbee catchers in the league.. It would be worth the price of admission.

You may be right, but I'd never bet against Smitty on anything... he's just way too savy... Not sure how he does it, but he always does... Imagine having Smitty on one side and Fitz on the other.... How would you stop that?

My money would be on Fitz, Smitty is great but Fitz just is a freak.

In terms of ball skills, Fitzgerald is the best in the league, better than Randy Moss too. He catches with his hands more than anyone.

I love Smith's explosiveness everywhere on the field though, he isn't like other receivers who are effective down the field but not too short, Smith's effectiveness is the same everywhere he goes

Yeah he's more physical than Moss, and has unreal body control as well. I love to watch him. I would say he and Smitty are 1 and 1a, with Fitz maybe having a slight edge solely due to his height which certainly is no fault of Smitty's.

Was interesting to hear Key praising Fitz for that "throw into double coverage" without criticizing Warner. :)

Man, I like Moose, but that would be awsome.

You know, on the Panthers Huddle last night, they broke down that play in New Orleans where Jake supposedly threw it into double coverage to Smitty. It turns out that Smitty actually had seperation when Jake threw that ball, but because he was about to get nailed, he couldn't get enough on the ball and it hung up long enough for the defenders to get there.

They showed it on the game tape, where you can see everything on the field instead of just either the QB or the WR like you see on TV.

I'd take Smitty even if it was playing marbles, tiddlywinks, or knitting cause they guy is just a competitor....plain and simple.

He has the heart, drive and desire to be a winner, and he will always come out on top in my book.

NUFF said. :cheers2:

Smith Demands more Coverage in games and I've never seen Fitz catch a ball sitting down. No one extends like Smith and attacks the ball IMO and as good as Fitz is he still dose not demand the respect Smith dose. I think people just expect Smith now to do what other WRs do with single coverage because he has been doubled for so many seasons now. IMO Moss and Smith are still the best WRs in the game because of how you have to play them but Fitz is a close second and has had a great season this year.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
