Steve Smith Vs Jerry Rice

[Herb]

Rice was 33 when he set the record for most yards in 1995. And he went on to have elite seasons until he was 40. I doubt Smitty continues playing for that long, but there is no question that he has atleast 2 elite seasons left after this year of playing vertically and being a deep threat. Then I think when he's 34-36 he'll move to just being a slot WR and will still be very productive. Then he'll probably retire at 37 or so. He's always been in great physical condition and with his attitude and intangibles there's really no telling how much he has left. Only he knows, but he definitely has a ton left in him.

With Welker's Stats but that game is not over...

Updated Welker again. He is 6 yds ahead of Smith to date, but has 57 Receptions, alot more than Smith. Dink and Dunk

[the butch]

who cares about balls caught. TDs and receiving yards are all i care about.

[Happy Panther]

This is something that will be fun to watch if he can keep it up. This could be something to keep the offense fired up for the remaining games where we are out of the postseason.

Imagine smith was 2 inches taller...

[carpanfan96]

One more big game, say around 180-200 yards should seal the deal and make it much easier for him to hit this mark. I think he can get that game against Indy. So I say it's entirely possible.

And Welker blows past Smitty this week.

EDIT: Geez, ok, Welker barely eeks out an insignificant lead over Smitty this week.

[Kevin Greene]

Blows by?

It's still a race dammit.

[Cat'sGrowl]

40 yards?

Blows by?

False.

[smitty_89]

Welker is keeping pace while the Patriots offense has been struggling. As much as I love Smitty, I think Welker will definitely have more yards than him by the end of the season. They could both break Rice's record.

Imagine Smith with a QB worth a damn since 05'
