Steve Smith will hit 1k yards for 7th time in a season

[panther4life]

tomorrow as he currently sits at 999 yards year to date.

Person did a write up on it earlier with quotes from Steve about his hall of fame possibilities.

http://www.charlotte...a-panthers.html

Right now he is currently 26th all time in yards and currently remains 152 yards shy of Muhsin Muhammed who is 23rd all timed. He's also 1 TD shy of Moose's 62 career TD's.

Right now he has 11,277 career receiving yards and is 2500 yards away from the current top 10. He will need more than that to stay there long.

Reggie Wayne is the only active receiver who has more yards with 12,928 but he also has 30 more career starts.

Andre Johnson(10865) and Larry Fitzgerald(10267) are the only other active receivers that can can catch him within the next couple years.

Heres the complete list...

Smitty is a beast,and will go down as the best small WR of all time.

[Kevin Greene]

Two things that must get done within the next 8 years.

A Super Bowl win for Smitty (within a 3 year window).

Induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Good read.

I love Steve, for him not to get into the HoF would be unjust.

Greatest panther of all time, one of the greatest WR's of all time.

89 will be enshrined in Canton when all is said and done. We take him for granted, but people who don't follow the Panthers religiously know his value to the Panthers and to the NFL.

He isn't a lock, but if he sticks around long enough, he should make it. A Super Bowl or 15,000 yards would seal it in my opinion.

I follow the Panthers religiously and to me Smitty is the Heart and Soul.

I'm glad you see that. I live out of market, and all the non-panther fans I know love and respect Smitty as a GOAT. Then I log onto the huddle, and our "it is what it is" mentality seems to have festered to our recognition of 89's significance to this league.

[Ivan The Awesome]

33, going on 34. How long will he last? 2-3 years tops? I remember him saying he wouldn't want to be that guy that doesn't know when to hang up his cleats. Personally I hope he stays 4-5 more years but that's a lot to ask for.

[Jackofalltrades]

Smith is number 1 All Time Panther in my book and it will take a lot for that to change.

Just imagine if he had consistent QB play...

And just like Tony Gwynn became "Mr. Padre", Smitty will become "Mr. Panther" and will HoF that ish like nobodie's business.

As much as it sucks, IMO Smitty isn't getting into the HOF

[KJ89]

He's without a doubt the best panther ever. And that's no insult to other panthers.

Same here.

You don't see how people outside the Carolina market revere Smitty.
