Smitty vs. Fitzgerald

[Mr.Ponche]

Didn't look at the clip 'cause I want to guess what game that would be... Home,last year, vs.Houston.Right or wrong?

[JJT]

That would be my guess, too.

Yep.. you win an all expense paid trip to Hemby Bridge NC!:hurray:

Guys lets be honest, Fitz has another star on the other side of the field. I love Moose but he is no Boldin. Boldin requires a lot of defensive attention. Smith hasn't had this luxury. I will take Steve Smith over any receiver in the league.

[Mr.Ponche]

I am being honest,I said that already.Smith won the triple crown with who on the other side?Nobody!That's what puts Smitty above and beyond,but I do believe Fitzgerald has the better hands.

[megadeth078]

How is everyone picking against Smitty? You guys are insane if you think Fitzgerald's height is all he needs to be put above Steve Smith. I'll chalk this up to fear of being labeled homers and forget about it.

[Mr.Ponche]

Steve Smith is the greatest receiver in the NFL and my personal hero! Larry Fitzgerald still has better hands.

Hey, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with saying that Larry has better hands because the guy does have one of the best pair of hands in the game. I'm not claiming that Smith is superior in every category.

True, but Arizona spreads its passes around more than we do, as well as throwing a higher percentage of short passes.

Their number three guy has a 1000 yards.

Both are great, but I would favor Smith because of his ability to run after the catch.

what does spreading the ball around have to do with anything? You do remember that we have the least passes thrown as a team in the NFL this season, while Arizona is one of the highest passers?

While it may be true that they throw short passes more, Fitzgerald still has 18 more receptions than Steve Smith, while only mustering up 10 more yards. I think that's says something about which receiver is more dangerous. Smith does way more with less touches.

[Mr.Ponche]

we are in complete agreement.

Steve Smith definetely he plays with a passion that puts him above the rest that can not go unsaid. I will say fitz runs a close second and dont forget about andre johnson down in houston he has to be in the discussion

[Mr.Ponche]

Yeah,but Smitty has done more with less.Less in this case as pure physical stature,isn't Johnson considered more of an ideal as far as height and weight goes.

[mwandmw]

One last comment from me on this thread..... Fitz also has Kurt Warner throwning to him.... Jake may be a winner, but he can't throw nearly as good as Warner... Remember earlier this year after we came back and beat them, all we could talk about was how well Warner could still throw it. I take Smitty hands down..... but if the Cards wanted to send Fitz to Carolina to play on the other side......lol...... must be the wacky tobacco talking there....

[Baschski]

Yeah I said this in the other thread...it's all about the intangibles. Maybe Fitzgerald and Smith have equal speed and hands, but Smitty just has an unbelievable drive and competitive edge. The man plays with more heart than anyone in the NFL, period. Fitzgerald might be able to make the catches, but Smitty will come through in the clutch when every bit of momentum is against him and his team (ie: last week against NO). Smitty hands down.

[SteveSmith_for_Prez]

so in conclusion fitz has better hands and height...smith has better speed, power, explosiveness, sideline maneuvers, heart, will to win, is meaner, tougher, more competitive and does more with less.

so why are we having a discussion over who the better receiver is?
