Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com, reports Carolina Panthers WR Steve Smith has accumulated 45 receptions and 739 yards with six touchdowns in seven postseason games. His career postseason average of 105.7 receiving yards per game is the best in NFL history (minimum of five games).

If I have my information right, Steve Smith has accumulated 11,598 all-purpose yards in his 8-year career. This includes over 8000 yards receiving (including post-season play) and is easily the mist dominant WR the Panthers' history. If he continues to produce like this (without punching anymore teammates) I can see the Panthers honoring him with induction in the Panthers Ring of Honor.

However, he will have a lot more work to do to even be nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Can he do it? Probably not in John Fox's running offense, unless he pulls off a 16+ year career.

Of course as soft as Goodell is making pro football nowadays, a 25-30 year career seems possible...

I disagree. I think a ring and two more thousand yard seasons (which would get him over 10,000) all but assures him a spot.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By strato · Posted

      We will disagree on the hiding part. Protecting from turnovers is how I saw it but not worth a million words.   I thought the receivers were given better balls than normal, as a result of the QB being sharper with his throws.   At the same time when you have games with 11 completions they aren’t getting a lot of chances compared to 31 or whatever it was.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      The team has done a lot to make Bryce look good. You list the receivers but let's not forget the most expensive offensive line in the league that's also got its LT on a rookie contract.  Are the receivers all pro or pro bowl caliber? With the exception of Tmac possibly making the pro bowl depending on the rest of his season, no. But that doesn't have anything to do with hitting guys in stride Sunday which is something he hasn't really been able to do all season. 250YAC is crazy. It's why guys like Tyreek have always been so deadly at near full speed when it hits their hands.  I think if Bryce can do that with much more consistency, and we have the occasional real deep ball or 30 or more to keep safeties honest, Bryce could turn the corner and so could some of the receivers.

      I think Bryce balls out again and the Panthers win in a close one.  Panthers will have a defender shadow CMC the whole game so I expect he'll be contained to under 100 yards.
