If he's top 10 right now, he's 8-10. I'd probably put him somewhere between 12-15.

He's really tough and he's awesome, but right now there's just no way he's top 5 in the league. Absolutely no way. Not at this point in his career. In his prime he was top 5 at the time. But not anymore.

i think he's the best wide receiver of all time. people think i'm just a gushing fan when i say that, but i honestly think he is. if he had a great quarterback throwing to him, with a good 3 receiver set to take pressure off him, he'd probably be breaking records. i've seen smith bust out of a gang tackle by 4 or so defenders, get past a guy on the sideline with only the front tip of his foot inbounds, and several other things i've never seen elite receivers do. randy moss and folks like that just make it look easier because they aren't under 6 feet. smith has to jump and fight and actually work to catch passes, but i think he does it better than anyone before him. it's just a shame we never gave him a supporting cast to give him a better hall of fame resume. he'll probably be long forgotten a few years after he retires.

well, what does jerry rice do better than steve smith? does he run faster? does he run block better? does he have better hands? smith is the whole package and he does everything top notch. why can't he be the best all-time? stats don't mean anything to me. that's too dependent on the team they played with, and the calibre of players they played against in their era.

Probably 4th in the league right now. Would be #1 if he had a Peyton Manning or Drew Brees throwing to him.

Nope. Not at this point. All things being even....Smitty doesn't hang w/ an Andre Johnson type reciever. Smitty plays at a high level but he isn' the same WR he was a few years ago. I prefer Smitty's style of play better though than an Andre Johnson today though.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
