Smith could break Rice's record at a younger age

I know folks think that Smith is getting up there in age where his productivity could be a issue. Even Rivera said he wished he were 4 years younger. But I found it interesting that Rice actually set his yardage record at the age of 33 which is 1 year older than Smith is right now. With Newton only likely to improve, and if Smitty can keep things up for a few more years, he could put up huge numbers for the next 3 or 4 years barring injury.

Just some food for thought.

How many years do you think Smitty has left??

Smitty could probably play late into his career (like 37-38) or so but will have to be replaced and take on more of a Donald Driver role. Question remains, with our luck at WR, will we find that real #1 WR......

I think with the new offensive scheme/coaching staff that we will. When? That I don't know.

Since Smith and Newton aren't leading the stats in their respective areas, they could surpass the old marks and still not hold the record since Brady and Welker are way ahead. So until they are actually leading their categories, this discussion is actually useless.

In addition Welker is younger than Smith. LOL at the irony

gettis looks to have the best chance of anybody currently on the roster to become a #1 at some point. right now we have gettis & lafell who have shown some ability to be good nfl wr's with pilares & edwards as developmental guys.

Actually I expected you to do that. But you missed the point of the thread. It wasn't about breaking the record which Welker could do as well but it was about how long Smith might play at this level. Since Rice broke it at 33 and Smith is on pace to break it at 32 (even if Welker does it as well) how much longer could he play at this level?? That is the question.

It wasn't about getting the record or if Welker will get it at a younger age.

As usual you fail at posts whether you initiate the thread or just contribute.

      Is McMillan getting ROTY or is Shough / Henderson going to get it?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      If Henderson just got a concussion and will possibly/probably now miss next week as well, gotta think missing 2 games of stats at this point of the year might knock him out as he was only just entering the discussion the last few weeks anyways.  Same goes for Judkins going down today too, and Dart's god awful game likely removes him from the conversation as well. It will be interesting to see how the voters compare T-Mac and Egbuka if they end up with stats that are nearly identical. Egbuka burst onto the scene and put up the bulk of his stats early in the year when Baker was playing like the MVP front runner.  While T-Mac was just more consistent throughout the course of the full season (ex. Egbuka has 8 games of 42 yards or less, T-Mac has 4 of them, while T-Mac still scored 3 TDs in those 4 games, where Egbuka only scored 1 TD in his 8). It would be a shame if they put too much weight on the final game of the season if that ends up being the division decider, as I think T-Mac has had the better SEASON while Egbuka had a better peak output during that first month or so but way cooled off since. Maybe Warren goes off in the last 3 games (they still play tomorrow), but it does seem to be down to T-Mac and Egbuka right now.

      Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.
