Steve Smith and HOF


pilot2011

Recommended Posts

2 more years of 1100 receiving yard seasons and Smith will be top 10 in yards... Another 3-4 years, he would likely be in top 10 receptions. If he gets a ring, he will be in Canton. But if not, yall think he still has a shot?

Many will say no just because they don't like his demeanor and past. But anyone that knows the Panthers will say hell yes because he had Mr. Bojangles throwing him the ball for a decade and Coach 3 and Out calling the plays. I hope the committee takes that into consideration.

There's some that consider TO a first ballot HOFer...for some reason. Not sure demeanor plays a big role but it might be different with the WRs.

I think SS is a HOFer but possibly not first ballot. He needs to finish these last couple of years strong to guarantee enshrinement. A Super Bowl victory will certainly help...

Smith suffers b/c half his career was in the passing era....

By the time he is up for HOF consideration......his numbers won't standout that much.

I have always thought Smith's best chance was to add 2 more deep playoff runs with great stats and win a ring. With his great foundation, he could really put up some great postseason career numbers.

Smitty's regular season stats won't get him in.

If Ray Lewis can get in with the suspicion surrounding two deaths, then Smith's past indiscretions should not be held against him. Yes, Lewis has a couple of rings, and Smith may never get one, but Smith has been the most enigmatic and explosive receiver the NFL has ever seen.

I am hoping that G-man, Rivera, Cam and the team steps up to the level of Smith's heart, and helps 89 earn the ring that his career absolutely warrants.

Oh, yeah, that's a surety. How could we ever let any other player wear 89? Panthers fans everywhere would explode, and the epicenter of the indignation would be the Huddle.

If Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Reggie White, etc. can play elsewhere.....so can Smith. He better hang it up at the right time or some people around here shouldn't be around sharp objects if that day where to come.

Yeah, he can play elsewhere, but the Panthers need not let anyone else wear 89.

I don't think he plays in another uniform, but if he does he won't be so different from other people who needed to hang it up (like all the players you mentioned). The only way I could see him going somewhere else is in a late bid to get a ring. I wouldn't hate on him for that. I would hate on the Panthers for unceremoniously putting him out to pasture, but if it comes to that I'd get over it. I just don't want to see Joe Blow or John Doe donning the 89.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
