Chances of 89 in the HOF

[PantherBrew]

Superbowl is not a prerequisite of a HoF'er.

Not for the top 5 of all time, but it will be for Smitty. He will need to separate himself from the likes of Larry Fitzgerald, Chad Ochocinco, T.O., Randy Moss, Andre Johnson.

[Varking]

He isn't going to be a Hall Of Fame guy for the NFL but there is no reason for him to not be celebrated as the greatest WR this organization has ever had. It seems like WR is now the hardest position to get into the HOF on and he likely won't put up the numbers when all is said and done that TO, Randy Moss, Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harisson, Chad OchoCinco, Colston will pass his numbers, among others like D.Jackson and so on. It is hard to make a case for a guy when he was the fourth or fifth best receiver of his era. Boldin will have better numbers when all is said and done and they aren't far apart in age and years played.

It just seems like at best, Smith has a slim chance to go into the hall.

Zero to none if Andre Reed can't get in

I agree 100% but I'll take it even further, I think he's the greatest football player this organization has ever had. Hopefully we celebrate his greatness after his career is done. Steve Smith doesnt just represent himself, he represents this franchise, he represents this city and this region. He represents us, he represents this era and all the good and bad times we've shared in it. Steve Smith IS the Carolina Panthers.

I like this qoute- I agree....I hope they do something to honor all of his services. he really does deserve it. out of all the bad, he still is and has been a bright spot.

I do think Smith would be a HOF if he had an elite QB.

But, it is what it is.

5th best if you go by stats. As a player Smith>Wayne, Harrison,and OchoCinco, and = Andre.

[Catdaddy]

He would probably need to pass Moose first in Panther history then be real productive for many years!

[goodoleboy]

Zero

This. WR with his stats are a dime a dozen. Add in the violence towards teammates and there is no chance.

[OneBadassCat]

If he could pull off a miracle 2000 yd season that would get him in.
