Steve Smith is now 32nd in all time NFL receiving yards

[Hoenheim]

Just letting you know. He has 10,278 total receiving yards. The closest active player Steve can overtake is OchoCinco with 11,059 total receiving yards. If he has around 1300 yards again next season, he could rise to be around 23rd-27th all time by the end of next year.

In my opinion, Steve could get to around 5th all time if he does play 5 more years (5 more seasons of exactly 1000 yards actually puts him at 15278, placing him at 3rd all time) it all depends on how long he can maintain his current level of play and if he wants to play into older age while taking a reduced role in the offense.

Randy Moss is currently 5th all time with 14,858. Jerry Rice is first with 22,895 (the closest non-retired player to him is TO, and he is still 6,961 behind Jerry)

Back off, bro.

Smith has no chance at beating Rice unless he plays until he's 45, but top 5 is certainly not out of the question and I think top 10 is bound to happen unless he suffers an injury.

Palmer in his hey day > The 1000 QBs Smitty has had.

[sguil1]

Sounds about right. I would say Smitty's career = Ocho at this point. Also how many of those 32 are still active? They will continue to rack up yards too.

[beastson]

Smith > Ocho

Just cause of the fact he was a huge part in getting to a superbowl with an average to below average QB's his whole career

And he still going strong

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Ochocinco couldn't carry smitty's pads in his prime

The funny thing is, with the development with Cam and the way this offense attacks, 89 could be in for the best run of his career. Remember, this is the first time he's had a respectable quarterback since 2008.
