Who is better than Steve Smith in his prime?

[HUGEbearfan]

I really think Smith would have posted better numbers than Harrison with Manning as his qb.

Did you ever see Harrison play?

Whereas Smitty has really been the only decent receiving option we've had for as long as he's been here.

Special.

I always thought Muhsin Muhammed was a pretty darn good receiver in his prime. Thanks for straightening me out on that.

Hines Ward is probably the closest size to Smith that was just a good in his prime. Then I say Moose, I am a huge Moose fan and think he was flat out amazing, and would have been interesting to watch if Moose ended up being "the guy" in Carolina.

As great as Smith was in 2005, it makes me wonder what would have happened if he'd not hurt in the opener in 04...we'd probably won 2-3 Super Bowls that year alone.

2-3 superbowls in one year? Damn, we would have made history!

I have. Have you ever seen a receiver not post great numbers with Manning as his qb? Last season said it all. With all the injuries the Colts suffered at the WR position, Manning still managed to put up great numbers with backups as his starters.

Look at the ridiculous numbers Jacob Tamme posted last season when Dallas Clark went down.

I assume he would have invented some sort of time travel that year.

No one got YAC like Smitty.

But that doesn't make him the GOAT. Just truly unique.

A lot of people put Marvin Harrison in the top 5 of all time receivers. I don't think I've seen Steve Smith make the top 25 in any list. See if you can find one other than your own list.

I've attached a link as an example. Harrison is number TWO on this list.http://bleacherreport.com/articles/330608-the-100-greatest-wide-receivers-in-nfl-history-nos-25-1/page/25

Moose left after the 2004 season, the year before Steve Smith grabbed the league by the balls. And when he returned, I think we can all agree he was washed up and for the most part a non factor.

You do realize those lists are based on stats right? Give Harrison the QBs Smith had and Harrison wouldn't have those same numbers. I'm not arguing who had a better career, but a list doesn't prove who was a better WR in their prime which is what the OP asked
