I don't have a link (and i didn't see this as a topic anywhere else) but hall of fame NFL wide receiver Jerry Rice was just on ESPN ranking the top five wide receivers playing the game today. Steve Smith was the first one on the countdown at number five.

He played highlights of Smith's across-the-middle catch against the Bears to highlight his YAC ability, and then a deep out against the Vikings to demonstrate his ability to elevate for the ball, and lastly his first TD against the Cardinals to display his ability to burn NFL secondaries even in his early thirties. A graphic displayed receiving yards ranking him up there with Ochocinco and Donald Driver (and Randy Moss a catchable big name roughly four thousand yards ahead of him.)

Roddy White was number four, which was barf, but it was cool to see 89 getting some love from the national media.

Hate to say it but Roddy White is a beast. Reppin' James Island.

I'm glad Smith is gettin some national love, not enough people know the greatness. I remember that hubbub a few years ago when people were saying the Giant's Steve Smith was 'the real steve smith'. What hogwash

Roddy is a beast. We as Panther fans just hate him for where he plays. We see the drops, we see the lackadasicle (sp) play. So when he gets love, we hate it. If he had played his whole career at full speed. He could be one of the best ever. Unfullfilled talent.

And on the flip side. We have a player that has been a conerstone for as long as we can all remember. A player that worked and played like it was him against the world. Who is in the discussion of the games best. Two players with opposite emotional connections. Smitty deserves the accolades. He has earned them.

      There are no juggernauts this year. Feels like everyone in the playoffs field is gonna have a puncher's chance. All the best teams still have very obvious flaws.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      It does vary, and depends on their health and other factors. I mean you really can’t look at the schedule in August and know what you will be facing mid season or even early Any time because stuff happens. It is any given Sunday relative to that. Early this year, KC was beatable. Will they be in December? And we don’t know if they’ll be motivated, or out of it. One team, that is likely a different team in 10 weeks. That’s an example what I mean.  Far as “decent” we know who the good teams are. We could hit a good team on a bad day, and we could have a really good one. It happens. All I’m saying. And I don’t expect it not to, for random teams. That’s about it. Predicting wins is an imperfect pastime.
