They were discussing Calvin Johnson. Trey Wingo asks Steve if Calvin is best WR in the game, and Young's response is:

"Well, you got a lot of great guys out there. Steve Smith, he's a guy who I have always felt was the best, he hasn't had a QB the past two years, and now that he does, he's proving that now"

Cool. Smitty is no doubt one of the best in the game. I always giggled at the people who tried to pin his lack of recent success on him. The guy isn't just fast, if you watch closely, you just marvel at complete of a package he is. You could make the argument he is the best!

I am watching NFL Live and they asked Steve Young if he though Megatron was the best WR in the NFL and the first thing Young said was along the lines of "well, first you gotta look at Steve Smith who I have always thought is a top WR in the league, he just hasn't had a QB to throw him the ball, now that he does we are seeing that."

Anyone else see this?

I was typing this too haha.

"Well, I mean he's coming on, there's no question about that. We've got some great receivers out there. Steve Smith has been under the radar for a couple of years, I always thought he was the best. Now he's got someone who's throwing the ball and he's kind of proving that out."

if smith were on the pats and in welkers position smith would own every record in the books already, without a question. welker is great but smith is a bit faster, tougher, quicker and he makes those freak circus catch and runs that welker isnt known for.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
