Steve Smith Invigorates His Charity Work Per Wcnc's Sonja Gantt


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Just another reason why Steve Smith is "the best receiver in the NFL": He and his family are helping with a Charlotte-based charity, Samaritan's Feet, to help needy children and adults. Perhaps those of us with a little change can do more than just post (or lurk) on the Huddle, but offer a little help---if nothing else, but with some greenbacks---in honor of our elite wide receiver.

I believe this was posted a little while ago, just sayin

Not again. People are always saying that they believe something was posted, though when you search for it, it is nowhere to be found. Like I said before: If you are going to post something from an outside source, the outside source/author needs to be referenced in the original post. That being said, this story came out today.

You can also have a blast, eat great food and fellowship with other Huddlers all while supporting another great charity by simply attending and supporting the Huddle's gameday tailgate, where all proceeds go to the local Toys For Tots campaign.

Didn't know that. If I can get to a game this year (which I don't know because my money is looking kinda funny), I'll pm you about the specifics. I haven't seen Charlotte in probably 5 years unfortunately.

You know, if a Paypal account were set up for an annual Toys For Tots campaign in Charlotte, the Huddle might just be able to raise more change for that effort. Even if it's a little something, something is better than nothing. Perhaps a permanent link to charity work would help.

    • The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).
    • C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
