Love smitty, but can you put him ahead of Moss, Harrison, Fitz, Jefferson, Megatron, TO , Andre Johnson, Deandre Hopkins, Evans, Tyreek and several others not immediately coming to mind? 

Smitty only has 9 more career receiving TDs than Marquis Colston (yes, I know Brees). Colston never even made first team pro bowl. It’s painful to say, but he’s not even top 10 when considering his competition 

Yeah, criminally underrated but definitely not top 10 all time.

Agree except Andre Johnson.  I think he's higher on that list than Andre Johnson.  Hall of Very Good Inductee.  Everyone else, you can have it.

I know that I'm biased because he's probably my all time favorite player, but I hate not to see Greg Olsen on this list! Gronk, Kelce, Gonzalez, and Gates are obvious choices, but Greg was a beast as a blocker & catcher. Not everyone on this list can say that. Couldn't we put 1 more on the PS, please??

When you factor in Fox and Jake (love ya Jake but lets be real) Smitty deserves credit beyond the stats.  

I know I said CMCs inclusion was all ifs and promises

 

That not withstanding

Smith is top 4 in yards among his peers (2000-2014)

Top 5 in receptions in that same time frame

Only triple crown winner

Didnt have Young, Romo, Warner, Manning, Brady slinging him the ball

 

Dunno if he is top 3 in the last 25 years cause some guys have put up stats since his prime - but Smith is very underrated for a dude in a run first offense with a less than HOF QB

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.

I'm more of the mind that Rhule, in his infinite wisdom, sat McCaffrey when he was healthy so he'd have a built-in excuse that'd buy him another year. I feel pretty convinced of this as well.

    • lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.
    • I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.  
    • As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
