Smith is one of the all time greats. Dont give a fug what anyone says.

 

 

I agree with you and always argue that point to friends at work who will argue that he only does as well as he does because he is on a historically mediocre team.  Silly Dolphins fans, what can you do.

It's a shame Smitty missed 2004.  I'm almost positive he would've dominated that year like he did 2005... and of course there's those broken down Jake, Testicleverde and Pickles years.

 

All that to go with playing his entire career in a run-first offense where he was usually facing double and triple coverage without the benefit of having a great QB throwing it to him (still love Jake)... his career is going to have a lot of 'what ifs' when he retires.

Agreed but I think he may have the chance to make up for it with Cam. If Smith can make 1000 yds for the next 3 years then he'll get pretty high up in the all time number ranges.  I think if he even pulled off a 1500 yd season it would prove he's an all time great at 34.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
