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

Irvin didn't play in the passing era....that is what hurts Smith going forward.

Irvin numbers minus rings.....in the passing era... is not a HOF resume

The Hall always inducts players based on their time period and peers. Bob Hayes just got in 3 years ago with 7k receiving yards. Induction can take decades.

Irvin played untill 1999, Smitty started year 2000.

Time will tell.

My point....you can't compare Smitty to Irvin. Smitty is playing the bulk of his career in the passing era. Irvin is from a much different era.

So Irvin numbers for Smith minus rings....isn't a HOF resume.

Agreed.

But I think it's reasonable to assume Smitty will be top 10 on this list:

When his career is done. Quite an accomplishment in any era and potentially HOF worthy.

That's all I'm suggesting.

Maybe....he won't be on it long though. So temporarily being in the top 10 yardage for a couple years really isn't that strong of a resume either

Tough crowd.

Well I see Fitz, Andre Johnson and Wade being there with Smitty during the era Smitty will have played in.

That is some high rent company, let the chips fall where they may.

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
