Will Steve Smith be the first receiver in NFL history.....

[Matthias]

to break that 2,000 receiving mark? I thought considering his age and our wasted years at the QB position, he would never live up to that potential. Yet yesterday, even at his age, he can still get behind defenders and go up and ****** balls out of the air. Now that we have a QB who can throw the ball, will Smitty break the 2,000 mark?:D

By the way, Cam and Smitty are leading the league in passing and receiving right now!

[Mr Smiley]

No. Cams gonna look like a rookie in some games. And the cardinals secondary blows. Wait till we play a defense that has a good secondary. Yesterday was no fluke, but you can't expect anything close to that every week

I've said it numerous times, but if Smith wants a shot at the HOF at this point he's going to have to do something remarkable. Either win the triple crown again or deliver 2000 yds in a season. If he does that then I think it makes him a lock.

We all know how good Smith is but the HOF looks at stats and the Panthers are not exactly media favorites. The years of garbage QB's and no WR help have hurt his chances. So it will take something like this make people see.

Of course I believe he can do it, but I'm also a Smitty fan.

No. I don't expect Cam to have games like that every week. I expect him to struggle some games. He's still a rookie. We face the Superbowl champions next week and that will be a serious challenge for him and the entire team.

slow down

OF COURSE HE BE DA BEST EVA

Seriously people, really??

Jerry rice had 87 yards in his first game in 1995 when he put up 1848 yards.

Also averaged around 115 against Carolina that year.

Why not?! 6k+ yards, 48 TDs is extremely plausible for a rookie!

If Smith can Stay healthy and play more years then he can probably be a HOF. Jerry Rice played a lot of seasons. That is one reason why no one can touch his records. Rice was great don't get me wrong but one reason why his stats are so great is because he played so many games. His career lasted so long because he trained well (actually his training was so tough many WRs couldn't train with him) and stayed healthy for his career. TO has lasted a while as well and probably will come back after he heals from his surgery. If Smith decides to play and stay in shape then I feel he could possibly be a HOF with Cam as his QB. I am going to hate the day Smith goes but it looks like its going to happen within the next five years, but he is so strong that maybe he could last a bit longer if he can keep his speed.

I'm not saying it's likely, I'm just saying who the hell am I to question Steve Smith's abilities. If there's one guy that answers his critics with more enthusiasm and balls than Steve Smith, I've never met him.

[Matthias]

We saw what blitzing against Cam will do to a team. I think teams will take notice and start backing off. Yet if they do that, our running game should take off. So it becomes a pick your poison thing. Most teams will probably choose to blitz because Cam's a rookie, and that will allow the Smitty connection to take place. I think this is going to be a special season for him.

[Frizzy350]

nope. steve smith is too short, too slow and too old. he does not have the elite abilities he had 4 years ago. he is nothing but a glorified return man playing a position he does not deserve.

please read this steve... :P

[Mr. Scot]

He'll be the first to ever catch an NFL touchdown pass from Cam Newton.

That's enough for me.
