Steve Smith's Top 5 Teammates


Recommended Posts

It isn't that surprising.

Pep is a first ballot HOF like he is, and probably the defensive counterpart Panthers GOAT.

Moose/Proehl were his positional biggest/best supporting cast/mentors in his career here.

Suggs got the Baltimore nod that he knew he'd have to throw in there.

Olsen was vocal and fiery when people didn't get their stuff together/know what was going on on the field, just like Smitty.

Gross was his teammate at Utah and they go way way back.

Hard to pick 5 for anyone.

He didn't pick Cam the same way he didn't pick Jake. I ain't mad at him for it.

When a legend (GOAT WR IN NFL HISTORY) talks, you listen and appreciate it.

Would have liked to have seen Jake, but did it to probably not stir up poo with Cam. Surprised to see 

 

Surprised to Olsen and Suggs so high as he only played with them for what 2 or 3 years each?

Note that the question asked him to list the best players he played alongside. Being a great “teammate” in the locker room/leadership sense is only one aspect albeit one Smith would have a unique perspective on. Love Jake, but I think it’s fair to say he wasn’t of the same caliber of talent as the rest of the list.

nothing surprising about that list.

keep in mind, these are his top 5. i'm sure his top 10-15 would include some other names that people think should be there.

...and I seriously doubt newton would make his list at all. two different personalities from two different worlds. i just can't see the two of them being anything other than cordial to each other.

exactly, and on top of that he was only with cam for what 3 seasons? he'd probably put jake in over cam since he played with jake longer.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
