Happy Birthday Steve Smith!


Recommended Posts

Steve Smith is an incredible athlete and competitor. He may very well surprise people at how long he can remain an elite receiver...

I would agree.. The older he gets the harder he is going to work... We all know age is going to just be another chip on his shoulder. Moose is how old and still looks great? Didn't he outrun some KC defenders this past year? Joey Galloway is 38 now and up until last year never lost a step. (and I only say up until last year because I didn't follow him at all)

In the next couple of years, Smitty may not be as fast as he was, let's say, in 2005. But it's just as likely that he will still be just as fast.

With that said, and as all positions go, I'd love to see us try to get someone to take that step up when the time comes.

Smitty's calves are bigger than my thighs. I think that's where he gets those hops from. The man is a physical specimen, to say the least.

You must have some skinny ass thighs Mintal :D

I wouldn't bet against Smith to play at a high level into his mid 30's. The guy has pretty much destroyed any limitations ever put on him. I wonder what those scouts are saying now, that said he'd never be more than a punt returner in the NFL.

Steve Smith has requested a trade:

His agent released in a press conference, "Steve Smith has requested a trade or release because he feels he has reached his potential in Carolina. He wants a new challenge and feels he can do that in another system. He seeks the oppurtunity to play in a wildcat style offense. He has released to the Panthers a list of four teams he will play for. Thank you." Three teams are in the NFC and one in the AFC. The Cowboys have been recognized as one of the NFC teams.

Have you ever noticed his calf muscles? They're amazing, (I normally don't scope out guys, but it's obvious with Smitty). In contrast, Jarrett's calf muscles are about the size of my wrists...

I also believe smitty will play at a high level for at least five more years. I mean, the guy is always going to be able to jump to the moon, and i dont see him losing that competitive edge that is one of his greatest assets......on the other hand, Moose is getting old and i hope that Jarrett really steps it up this year and shows everyone that he is legit......I don't think Moose has more than two years left as a starter caliber reciever, so it will be really important for Jarrett to take the next step

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
