Smitty is the shizz

Smitty is indeed a great WR.

And I agree about the search thing.

EDIT: BTW, did you see the caption under the pic on that link?

How dare D-Will cut his hair and play for the failcons

not surprising

No Andre Johnson?

[jasonluckydog]

No David Gettis? Stupid fuging list.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. Smitty has been arguably the best receiver in the game most of his career. His pupils have identified him as such most of his career. He's one of the best, and will make a legitimate run for the Hall. It's okay to admit that without clinging on to a false notion of supposed "realism."

Yep, that jumps off the page. Dude us arguably the best in the game.

Unless something drastically changes....Smitty won't make a legit run at the HOF. Not when he will be up against so many in this passing era.

HOF talent....no doubt though.

This.

He'll need to have multiple years like his latest (very real possibility now that the Panthers have a viable QB) to be in contention.

It's sad too. Imagine if he had a HOF QB throwing to him his entire career.

Statistically he's on course to have a very, very legitimate HoF resume'.

Get the man a Ring.

Too many WRs are going jump him statistically in the near future.

I think for him to make a run he will need playoff runs (multiple) with big stats...... if he could put up big postseason number he could go down as one of the best postseason WRs of all time (he has a good start) to go on top of his regular season stuff.

[PhillyB]

four more years of averaging 1000 yards a season lands him in the top five all team receiving, so it's not out of the range of possibilities.

throw a few playoff runs in there as well and he'll get a boost.
