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.

      Lance Zierlein's Position Rankings 2026 Draft

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      That makes me wonder, how many starting tackles in the NFL and/or elite tackles have short arms? I feel like there’s probably lots of tackles that end up being drafted in later rounds because they had short arms or didn’t have the physical tools.     also why not draft a tackle in the later rounds that we could move to guard or center if they fail, instead of drafting a center? If we draft a center we know they aren’t going to play tackle but if you draft a tackle they could end up playing any of the 3 positions, look at BC for example. It feels like it’s a better decision to draft a tackle in later rounds than a center.

      Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

      I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.
