Steve is quietly closing in on a top 20 spot in career receiving yards.  He is just an average game away from Don Maynard (47 yards) and could pass Andre Johnson depending on how he plays vs IND.  Could easily be in the top 15 after next year, even playing the way he is now.  To be honest though, I'm still waiting on him to break out a game or two this year.

Look at the difference between him and Wayne over the same amount of years in the league and you see the difference of a receiver who played with an all-time great QB his whole career and one who had some of his best years squandered by inferior QB play. I hope when his time comes for HoF consideration that they remember just how great Smitty was in so many different areas.

Steve had so many wasted years. He didn't get the touches hist first 2 seasons. Then he had a few lengthy injuries and the Jimmy Clausen year. It's a shame because he could have had an extra 3k yards under different circumstances.

 

And Jerry Rice...it's just insane what he did in the Bill Walsh offense. Megatron is only 27 and 10 1k yard seasons won't get him close to Rice.

Another tough thing to consider....the younger guys. Steve might get caught by a handful of guys during his waiting period.

 

true.  a lot has changed since he came into the league.  as mentioned above, blows your mind how good rice was during his time in the league.  unfortunately at 26, i'm too young to remember anything outside of oakland and his year in seattle.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
