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

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
