Good read on Steve Smith (via Reddit)

He is going to be a HOFer regardless of his fights with Lucas and Bright. Most voters may hate him but there is no doubt they respect him. I think when his career is over and he waits his 5 years the triple crown will have more weight. Teams still fear him and ALWAYS know where he is.

If the barred every fighter or tough guy from the HOF the hall would be half full.

Smitty will be an icon in Charlotte like Unitas was in Baltimore.

Smitty is just the best as a player and a man.

It really is too bad Smitty had to play most of his career on a team that would rather run than pass, and, for whatever reason, failed to give him a QB capable of utilizing his skills to the fullest. As exciting as Smitty has been, it could have been so much better. As much as I love Smitty. I have to believe the numbers are just not there for the HOF. YET. ...................................IMO, he needs 1or 2 more very good years to go with 1 or 2 good years to have a shot. Which is very possipable. He needs to separate himself from some of these kids, so when he hangs em' up his numbers will speak as well as the play. Or at least that is what I think I am thinking.
