Is it an argument anymore????

A few weeks ago before the nightmare we called a playoff game against the cardinals, their were many smitty vs. fitzgerald discussions. I was one to come to smitty's defense and pretty much say i would take him over fitz but, now after that record-breaking postseason by fitz is it even a question anymore? Believe me I am a huge smitty fan aka smitty homer, but I cannot deny that fitz has now surpassed him in my mind. I believe he has set himself apart now as the best reciever in the league with andre johnson and smitty following along with some other guys. This is no knock against smitty he will still be in the discussion for the next 2 or 3 years so maybe he will prove otherwise, but for now I think you have to be crazy not to give fitz the nod. Pretty much a useless old argument but, just wanted to see what people think now a few weeks and huge fitz performances removed from the previous threads.

Smith makes most of his plays off of throws made in coverage where he can leap into the air and catch it. He could also take it to the house from anywhere on the field. Fitzgerald is almost the same way but can jump higher. Delhomme and Fitzgerald would be a match made in heaven. :D

No I'd still take Smith. Everyone is on Fitz's nuts because he's the one everyone's been looking at lately. He was the best WR in the playoffs for the past few weeks. If the panthers had some more games to play in the post season I'm sure we'd see Smith do the amazing things he always does. Plus Fitz has Boldin and Warner in that super pass offense, while Smith is relegated to an aging Moose and Jake "I always throw behind my WR" Delhomme.

Yea, hold up with that sentiment real quick and realize that Fitz has Kurt Warner throwing him the ball.

I wonder what Smith would be doing with Kurt.

Good thought I believe that Smiths numbers might greatly increase with a quarterback that can hit him in stride on occasion. I dont know if i can remember one time this season that jake threw a true deep ball and hit him in stride. It was always smitty having to catch it over his head, turn his body the other way, come back to the ball, or fall down to catch a deep pass.

Yea exactly, Smith has to be great just to even catch the damn ball.

I mean is it really so much to ask for the QB to make a good play so the receiver can really do his thing.

"Everyone is on Fitz's nuts because he's the one everyone's been looking at lately."

I remember watching him at the Tire Bowl in Charlotte when he played for Pitt. It was UVA vs Pitt...some pretty good future NFLers in that game...Fitzgerarld, Shaub (Bowl MVP), and Heath Miller. Fitzgerald was going into the game with an NCAA record 18 straight games with a TD....he was amazing then, and he's only going to get better.

I would trade Smitty for Fitz...simply because of age...nothing else.
