What would it take for Smith to get into the HOF?

[PanthersGuy28]

I'm sure it's been asked 1,000,000 times but I've never heard any honest opinions. I mean truthfully speaking it's gonna be hard for him because he's gonna be competing with guys like Moss, TO, Torry Holt, Marvin Harrison, etc for spots. I agree with a thread the other day how many WRs of ALL TIME were better than Steve Smith in his prime? Remind you he has NEVER had good QB play. If he has two more years in his prime and somehow by someway could get that ring does he not have to be in? A player so devoted to his city and team and teammates...gosh he deserves it and to be a HOFer.

Sorry for a repetetive question but it's just really been bugging me recently.

In simple terms, at least 3 more seasons like 05. And a Super Bowl wouldn't hurt. Two dead seasons really just killed him.

I hate it, and in his prime I'd take him over anyone playing right now. But its a reality we gotta face.

[SOJA]

I think he needs at least 2 more years of top 10 production, and another deep run in the playoffs (if not a ring)

I love Steve, but its going to be tough. very tough

Alot

[R0CKnR0LLA]

it's not gonna happen

took awhile to adjust as an nfl wr from just a return man

couple years injured

couple years with craptacular qb play

you need a long steak of 05 type seasons or thereabouts and it just hasnt happened

he literally has NO chance

[Pox 08]

Probably at least 3 more seasons of 1,500 yards... would bring his total to 13,384 yards, and he'd be 35. Maybe 2 seasons after that, for 1k yards each.. I think he can get in with over 15k yards. It's a pipe dream though.

He should probably just punch whoever makes the decisions in the face.

:ciappa:

an act of god

this isnt the hall of really really good players

take a look at the WRs they are mulling over right now....then add the wrs that will be eligible when he is done

maybe a 2000 yard season

[Double34Trouble28]

Historically its been harder for WRs too.

[armistice]

He had a good QB once, believe it or not Jake did actually play good at one time.

Anyways, stacking up come good stats never hurt anyone. Going for really big stats over the next few years with Cam shouldn't be hard, hope not at least. And like everyone said, a ring or two wouldn't hurt. ^^

If Andre Reed still isn't in, Steve Smith will never make it.

pretty much

the whole standard is that if it's questionable then the answer is no. and the fact that a bunch of homeristic smitty lovin panther fans have to debate about it should be clear that it's just not gonna happen.

[Jrock88]

Who knows... Micheal Irvin got in .

If Andre Reed still isn't in, Steve Smith will never make it.

Chris Carter too. Smitty has zero chance of making it even if he had 3 good years his body of work doesnt help. Randy Moss is the same he will never make it due to his work ethic and attitude. Not saying Smitty had a bad work ethic. HOF voters wont vote for someone who doesnt have a full body of work.
