Steve Smith Career Receiving Yards Watch


philp

Recommended Posts

Steve is quietly closing in on a top 20 spot in career receiving yards.  He is just an average game away from Don Maynard (47 yards) and could pass Andre Johnson depending on how he plays vs IND.  Could easily be in the top 15 after next year, even playing the way he is now.  To be honest though, I'm still waiting on him to break out a game or two this year.

Look at the difference between him and Wayne over the same amount of years in the league and you see the difference of a receiver who played with an all-time great QB his whole career and one who had some of his best years squandered by inferior QB play. I hope when his time comes for HoF consideration that they remember just how great Smitty was in so many different areas.

Steve had so many wasted years. He didn't get the touches hist first 2 seasons. Then he had a few lengthy injuries and the Jimmy Clausen year. It's a shame because he could have had an extra 3k yards under different circumstances.

 

And Jerry Rice...it's just insane what he did in the Bill Walsh offense. Megatron is only 27 and 10 1k yard seasons won't get him close to Rice.

Another tough thing to consider....the younger guys. Steve might get caught by a handful of guys during his waiting period.

 

true.  a lot has changed since he came into the league.  as mentioned above, blows your mind how good rice was during his time in the league.  unfortunately at 26, i'm too young to remember anything outside of oakland and his year in seattle.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
