Steve Smith Vs Jerry Rice

[Hoenheim]

I strongly agree with the poster above me that mentioned Welker has a better and more experienced QB to throw him the ball, so it makes Smith's 2nd in receiving yards in the league even more impressive, considering he has a rookie QB throwing to him every play.

818 yards after 7 games......current NFL leader.

[smitty_89]

818 yards after 7 games......current NFL leader.

yea only because Welker had a bye...Its gonna take a hell of season to finish as the leader. Both Smitty and Welker could break Rice's receiving yards record.

[Hoenheim]

Someone update this chart!! Smith is the leader b/c the patriots had a bye this week, and none of the other receivers were close to smith and welker total yards-wise.

[FugginPoo]

Smith would be the GOAT WR had he been on Patriots with Brady his whole career.

[OneBadassCat]

Keep in mind that Welker has at least 15 more receptions than Smitty. That's the reason Welker is above everyone, he's got nearly 20+ receptions over everyone. Smitty's got the best ypc in the league at 22 if I'm not mistaken.

[Herb]

He just may break it.

Rice had Montana/Young his whole career.

Imagine if Smith had 2 HOF QB's his whole career, and no period of Fox/Davidson idiot ball.

[Grammer]

needs 1000 yards in 9 games

very doubtful

[OneBadassCat]

If Smith had Brady his whole career, jesus who knows what could have been accomplished. However despite Cam being a rookie I don't think it could get much better right now for Smith. He could probably be targeted more like Welker in the slot but overall Smith is being utilized now like he always should have been imo.

EDIT: I understand why your name is ReturnofFox now.

[JawnyBlaze]

needs 1000 yards in 9 games

Yea, averaging 111 yards for the rest of the season is very doubtful since he's only averaging 117 right now and they've already seen the best defenses they'll see this year :rolleyes:
