He’s a Hall of Famer!

[@lawrenceyancy3364]

@@FlemLoRaps Facts! I grew up! A Jags fan since the expansion! Many rough seasons! But I’m always pulling them! They are either a step away from a Super Bowl or a Step away from going 0-16 😂. I met Jimmy Smith at one of my Flag football games when I was younger. Though he has had some struggles. He seemed like a nice good guy for the most part! He could tell I was shy when I saw him. Usually I was the kid who didn’t want to bother celebs or athletes when I saw them because I figured everyone was bothering them. So when we made eye contact I just smiled and waved and continued to mind my own business lol. But he waved me over asked how I was doing,about school, asked about my flag football season, and of course asked about the Jaguars. He then offered me an autograph told me to keep up the good work and sent me away with a smile. It was an awesome interaction for just a few minutes that I’ve never forgot. I really appreciated it! Love the vids and contents as always fam! Appreciate your writing rhetoric and storytelling! Hopefully the Jags can go Deep with your Bengals this year! Go Jags!

Being a Jags fan is hard. Being a Jags fan in your 20s who basically can't recall the late 90s and early 2000s when the team was at its peak? Nothing but pain. I remember being 16-17 and rewatching any old game I could find of the team to relive those days and I can tell you we used to be as competitive as anyone in the league. I really feel like things got out of hand with the 2011 draft when we took Gabbert, and nothing went right till 2017. Every single year they put up a graphic at the NFL draft when it's our time to pick that says something like "made playoffs once in X number of years". People seem to translate that as we were always bad and always will be. With Boselli getting into the HOF and people like you giving credit to Smith and Taylor, it gives me hope again we will find some great players and see more HOF candidates on the team.

[@kingzut]

honestly odds are he wouldnt have been playing if they didnt let him go and if the jags entering the league didnt happen at the time it did. im sure part of what allowed him to push past the prior years is the fact that the jags gave him that support he needed at the time. when things get in your head like that its real hard to shake them by yourself.

[@floridagator1765]

Thanks for this story. You did some great research. I have been a subscriber for years. I have lived in Jacksonville since 1983 and currently live there now. J Smooth came into his own and into the National spotlight in the Jags improbable playoff run in 1996 as they beat the Bills (Kelly,Smith AND Reed) in Buffalo AND beat the Broncos (Elway,Sharpe AND Davis) in Denver. Who knew we had a Hall of Fame coach in Coughlin at the time. Playing in a small market makes it tough to make the Pro Football HOF. The Jags have struggled for years but those were some exciting times for the city. As a Bengal’s fan you know, BUT it can turn around with the right QB and schedule. Thanks again.

[@TrippSC2]

I loved watching Smith and McCardell during their prime and always felt like that team flew under the radar. I had no idea that Smith's career started that way. Obviously not the same extreme, but this reminds me of Cris Carter's career. He started out with Philly and had drug problems and underperformed. He was cut in the offseason, ended up with Minnesota, and the rest is history. Great video!

I'm in my 40s, rooted for the Titans since 1996 and let me tell you something...Jimmy Smith was beast and that Jags team he was on was no joke.

[@bordaz1]

I became a Bears fan, and NFL fan, when Jimmy Smith was at his peak. I think the League was more crowded with talented #1 receivers than FlemLo gives credit for. Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, Terrell Owens, Isaac Bruce, & Torry Holt all went off when Smith was having his best years, and both Chris Carter and Jerry Rice were still doing their thing. Even back then, Jimmy couldn't dominate headlines and ballots despite playing super well, and I think it was because of both this WR competition and misfortune of his '99 Jags losing THREE games to your Titans. If they had won that AFC title game and beaten the Rams in the SB, all of us would have known this story that FlemLo's highlighting!

As a lifelong Jags fan, and Jacksonville native. I went to a youth camp when i was young run by our TE at the time, Kyle Brady and our G/LT Maurice Williams. This had to be around the time of Jimmys struggles with substance abuse. In hindsight it seems like they were trying to help him and get him involved with the youth to give him purpose and whatnot. I can tell you, dude was as helpful and encouraging as could be and was one of my ultimate heroes growing up. I hope one day he can live down his issues and get the love he deserves with the HOF, or at least the recognition that he was one of the top guys of that golden era. Either way, one of the best I ever seen do it.

Jimmy, Keenan, Mark, Tony, Leon, Freddy T, Tony Brackens, Aaron Beasley, Donovan Darius, Kyle Brady the Jags of the 90’s were something special. AFC championship game in their second season and 99’ where there only loss came to Tennessee (3x) Duval County was the place to be. What a time to be alive.

Great take bro

Years ago I sat across an aisle from Jimmy Smith's family in Indianapolis. I was in a Bengals Jersey and my buddy a Jags jersey. They were an absolute blast to be around coming over and high fiving and hugging my buddy in a Smith jersey. Even got me (a Bengals fan) in on the celebrations. Awesome experience!

I didnt look at the exact date this video was made, it says one year ago which means Mike Evans should have already been on your list of guys with 9x 1,000 yds receiving in 12 years (at that point he had 9 in 9 years) and now he actually has 10x 1,000 yd seasons in just 10 years in the league. Which is... Ridiculous.

It's wild bro. I watched one of FlemLo's old videos and remembered watching that years and years ago. Then I go watch a new video and noticed something... We've grown older together. Lol I love the fact you made it and became one of the best sport channels on KZbin and honestly, in all of the media. You are one of a few KZbin sports guys who basically killed ESPN. Lol Keep it going bro. Your content is so well put together and your take is usually well balanced and focused on the game and players and not just click bait.

Bro I just want to say thank you. Love your content and the work you put in. Amazing.

Seen Jimmy at a grocery store in flowood, MS. One of the nicest and coolest people you could meet. Actually took time to talk to me about the NFL. Wasn't even big head about his career....just was happy to be at the grocery store

Go Jags!!Glad u made this video Flem..Us jags Fans want this story out there 🤘🏾🐆😎

11:01 I was wondering why James Stewart looked different to me. This was actually James A. Stewart who was drafted the same year as Jaguars RB James O. Stewart. Thank you for this video. I grew up right outside Jacksonville, and was 10 years old when the team came into existence. We've had some down years, but anyone who was watching in the late 90's knew the Jaguars had some damn good teams. Jimmy wasn't just a piece of the puzzle. He was a guy who performed brilliantly every time he stepped on the field. On his 27th birthday, he had 288 career yards. He had twice as many receiving yards in his 30's than his 20's. A Hall of Famer in my book.

Great coverage on this. Growing up in Jax in the 90s was made so much better when the Jags were created. Jimmy Smith had some issues but we love him!

[@CraftDPham]

that Lightning and Thunder dynamic the Jags had with Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell was something special. from expansion team to constant playoff contenders was wild.

[@SustyDank]

Love the videos Flemlo! i'm only 21 so I never got a chance to watch Jimmy play but I saw The Football Life episode back in like 2015 and was amazed at the dudes stats and story and was surprised he wasn't a hall of famer then hopefully one day he makes it Jimmy has an incredible story and made a great career and life out of his opportunities I'm glad he's sober and hope he stays that way. I would also love to see a video on 'what happened to Gary Barnidge' dude was a 1 year wonder mid way through his career then suddenly faded out of the league out of no where him and former NFL lineman Breno giacomini do some great charitable work together!
