Steve Smith Career Watch

When Carter hung his cleats up.....only Rice had better career numbers

And Cris Carter never played a season Jerry Rice wasn't suited up....so Rice happened to be in his prime then. Carter did lead the league in TDs several seasons

So I still don't see how problem children like Owens are first ballot guys....

 

Again, Carter has never been near the league leader in yards which says a lot about his ceiling. Just because Owens and moss were headcases doesn't lessen their impact and numbers.

 

All I'm saying is Cris Carter is Steve's measuring stick.

Both are 2 and 3 respectively in all time receiving yards only behind jerry rice. Cris carter is 9th on that list. They are first ballot

Edit: they almost best him statictisally in every category except for receptions and only moss is under him. TO while having problems is one of the best receivers of all time

Carter was much higher when he retired....he was essentially where they are at the 2-3 spot. Carter also didn't play any of his career in the passing era.

I wouldn't think Carter getting in is the measuring stick. He played in a different era. Better career numbers across the board.

Smiths biggest problem in terms of making the hall will be touchdowns. He will be lucky if he breaks 75 receiving TDs for his career and that is going to hurt him a lot. Yards are great but touchdowns is the bigger stat and that is where he falls short. It sucks because Smith is the best wide out I have ever watched play and he deserves to make it but I just don't see it happening.

I think the touchdowns only hurt Smith in the eyes of those who are ignorant of his play. He is 5'9 and was never truly a redzone threat. But even at his size we saw pull down many jump balls and fade routes in his prime. But that's not what made Smith special. He's the best YAC WR of all time and one of the best WR's between the 20's to play the game.

 

His all purpose yards should give him a boost in HOF consideration too. I just wished we played the guy his rookie year. I also wish he could have had 1 more catch the year he broke his arm. He was just shy of  a 1,000yds. He should really have close to 9 or 10 1,000 seasons. He was robbed of that.

on the flip side there was a year when he got 1000 yards and broke his arm on the play, so he got kinda lucky there
