Steve Smith vs Champ Bailey. Who wins?

[John Fox]

My blind homerism says Smith. Champ is still a top 10 CB at least. But he's not so good nowadays that QB's won't even look his way.

Moose

damn u beat me to it lol.

if jake is on point with his throws steve will win.

[Orange Habit]

I would not be surprised at all if Dre Bly instead covers Smith. I'm sure that groin isn't 100%, and trying to test it too often against a vertical runner like Smith could be asking for danger.

[Davidson Deac II]

Receiver has the advantage over the corner to begin with, so if Bailey is covering Smith one on one, then Smith will win. But neither Bailey nor Bly will be covering Steve one one one.

[House]

I agree with Orange, I don't think that Champ's groin is in good enough shape to hang with Smith. Especially as shifty and precise Smith can be in running his routes, I don't know if he could hang with him, unless they want to play a lot of zone coverage.

I think Smith will abuse the hell out of Bly though.

Jake will throw at him, I bet you $100. lol

He always trusts his guy to win esp. if it is Smitty.

Had he thrown better passes vs Nnamdi, Smitty would have had a few.

Champ will be more aggresive than most for a jump ball in the air, but I still think Smitty's determination is unmatched.

Dude with a recently busted groin ain't gonna be outrebounding a guy like Smitty who got a huge vertical leap. Smitty gonna get his. Count on it! And if Bly is on him, it's all good.

No question. Champ Bailey.

Good point. Smith also blocks well, runs great routes and does a great job after the catch. I really think that he would do well against almost any CB if our QB could consistently thread the needle. We all know that Jake does not operate that way so some CB's have an advantage in tight coverage because of that.

Our boy smitty will deff win, im not so sure he got absolutely burned against Aso from Oakland hard to tell Jake had an awful day. Smitty will win though, why wouldnt he? [sARCASM]Hes the best WR in the NFL.[/sARCASM]

What's funny is Steve Smith has averaged 57 receptions, 820 yards, and 5 touchdowns a year. OVERRATED. Do not ever again consider him the best wide receiver in the NFL.
