shouldnt even be a question, Steve Smith IS a HOFer

[@real_blackmamba8665]

He’s a HoF in my eyes one day his name will get called

[@AnotherSportsChannel]

Completely agree 💯

[@brokensystembrokentrust5047]

Then you dont know what a Hall of Famer is

[@Wildcat_Media]

Lifelong Utah fan here. Steve Smith is still loved around here. He was amazing to watch in college, and he was fun as hell to watch in the NFL. I would love nothing more than to see him in the Hall of Fame.

[@AnotherSportsChannel]

He'll get in

[@ryaneugenelawrencewalls1987]

Steve Smith SR in my honest opinion is was and always will be the absolute BEST players to ever grace the NFL football field without question he's truly a Hall Of Famer pound for pound the Heart and Soul of Carolina Panthers he was a 3rd Round draft choice out of University of Utah in the 2001 NFL Draft by the Panthers went to one Super Bowl despite losing to the Patriots I believe he deserves a Gold Jacket he do like he won a Triple Crown in 2005 year in the NFL leader in Receptions Receiving Yards and Receiving Touchdowns too 0:08

[@braddillon4311]

He'll be in the HOF at some point. 8th in all time receiving yards, 12th in all time receptions, 8 seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards, 5X pro bowler, 3X all pro (2 1st, 1 2nd team all pro). He isn't a first ballot HOF but he should get in someday.

[@tightbhole420]

idk thats a nasty stat line ngl

[@desmondmadden6433]

Hold up!? He's not a first ballot? You named all his accolades and you fix your grill up to say he's not first ballot? Stop smoking weed bra. Please just stop! Let me fill you in on something. HE DID THAT WITH RUDYPOO QB MEDIOCRE QB NO TOP 10 QB NO ALL PRO QB NO HALL OF FAME QB. NO ASK YOURSELF THAT QUESTION AGAIN IS HE A FIRST BALLOT HOF. YES!

[@braddillon4311]

@desmondmadden6433 I mean, he's technically not since he didn't make it on his first ballot. But then again, Terrell Owens made it on the 3rd ballot and he was 2nd in receiving TDs and 3rd in receiving yards or vice versa. The media hated him though lol. Steve deserves to get in regardless though.

[@ultraego1892]

[@roningaijin7701]

​​@@desmondmadden6433 he should be but he won't be. It's just the way they vote these days. Hines Ward was definitely one of the toughest SOB 's to ever play the position and he can't get in after many years of trying. Best blocking receiver ever, Super Bowl MVP, Steelers all time leading receiver. Steve Smith is a dog in the same tough guy category as Hines so that tells me he'll get skipped as well.

[@jacobblack9496]

I don’t understand why this is a question. Nobody has achieved what he has achieved with such mediocre quarterbacks. Especially the 2005, 1500 Yard 12 TD season. Jake Delhomme best season he still had a two to one touchdown to interception ratio with less than 3900 yards passing. If you call that a great quarterback, then I don’t know what to tell you. Steve Smith will always be one of my favorite players for his intensity, integrity and tenacity. I’m 25 and a colts fan, but I appreciate greatness when I see it. Just wanted to add that his best season came after he broke his leg in the season opener. This man has a dog in him!

[@TrevorHamberger]

There's mostly truth to what you're saying but the way that Carolina ran their offense back in the day was centered around the run game. To hold down home accountable for only having 3,900 yards in his best year is discounting the way the football used to be played. We have to stop letting these overinflated ego stats of today driven by a corrupt media circus be some sort of benchmark. The stats of the game today are mostly fake.

[@n64central]

Is this a series? You should 100% do Eli next. I believe that his media influence will make him a day 1 ballot

He's HOF in my eyes. He never really had a great QB. Always loved his swagger. Hines ward really really really deserves the HOF also you should do a video on him. Opponents said he was dirty and hated him teammates would say you couldn't find a better team guy. He really embodied what it meant to be a PITTSBURGH STEELER. Not to mention he was a helluva ball player.

[@shanehatfield9501]

[@DCoop-uo2wq]

The nfl hall of fame is a joke, love steve Smith is definitely hall of famer. But this is the same league that didn't make Terrell Owen's a hall of famer until his 3rd year of eligibility. It's pretty simple if you say a guy's name and you have to think about him being a hall of famer then he's not a hall of famer. Steve Smith you don't have to think about it

I wish it hadn't ended the way it did in 14, but I respect the hell out of you coming back and honoring us on field one more time in '19. I was there for your induction into the Ring of Honor and when you pulled out the Jersey, yeah it got me misty eyed. Fiercest competitor in Panthers history. Best of luck in your pursuit for The Hall!

Mine too

[@dashien2605]

Absolutely a Hall Of Famer

[@Solo413]

Smitty is 100% an NFL Hall of Famer. Not only his WR stats and accomplishments, but his stats as a Returner as well put him 9th all-time in all-purpose yards. 1) Jerry Rice 2) Brian Mitchell 3) Walter Payton 4) Emmitt Smith 5) Frank Gore 6) Darren Sproles 7) Tim Brown 8) Marshall Faulk 9) STEVE SMITH 10) LaDainian Tomlinson Smitty is a HOF player, without a doubt.

[@SadfoxGuyver]

You don’t need a 12 minute video for this. Answer is yes

[@russellgilbert3453]

When he slid down that goal post , HIM was in! 😆

[@pdjward]

He was also an amazing blocker for the WR position.

[@user-uk1kw4vn6v]

I feel like if you can you were top 3-5 ish at your position for more than 3 years, your hall of fame bound, maybe not first ballot but still worthy. 06-11 I think steve smith was borderline top 5 every year, and was definitely top 2 a few of those years. He’ll get in, it’ll take him and Chad Johnson proudly a good 5 ish years but they deserve it

[@SpaceDragonX783]

Biased, but yes. Smith, at the time of this video, is top ten in receving yards all-time and the only one not in the HOF and has a triple crown in 2005. Really wished he got the nod this year alongside Peppers to make it extra special. Still hoping he gets that gold jacket soon. Ice up son!

[@AnotherSportsChannel]

Biased as well. Reason I became a Panthers fan

[@mattmilli261]

I’m big time 49ers fan but I’m from the Carolinas so I’ve watched his whole career. No Doubt. He’s one of the greatest WR.

[@TrevorHamberger]

I don't care what stats anybody shows me Steve Smith is a Hall of famer. First of all just look up his playoff stats. That's all you need to know about a great receiver. But beyond the playoffs that he had an impact on the team in a way that very few players have. He was a blocker, he went over the Middle with no fear, and he provided motivation to the team around him. He passes the eye test in ways that many will never touch. He was a complete receiver in every regard. He's sort of like having a Randy Moss on your team but just a tier under that level of talent.

[@xStrypes]

That kick return where he spun off the leg tackle holy shit thats nasty

[@drewmeyer9679]

Absolutely! Smith was a triple crown of WR with Jake Delonne as a QB. Smith was CAR only elite WR and teams still couldn’t stop him.

[@jamesrobertson9761]

Smitty is an all-time great. Good stuff man.

[@jramirez2068]

[@user-qi8cl9cx4g]

Absolutely he a first ballot HOF his stats and game play says it all

[@Buster_Chestnut]

(opinion, please don't come at me) Smith Sr was a great WR but I think the lack of a Super Bowls hurts him in the eyes of voters. I would love to head up the road to Canton and see him there, but I don't honestly think he will get in.

[@jaysavv3546]

There are other receivers that has a lack of super bowls like Andre Johnson whose in the hof (love Andre Johnson as a fan)

[@Solo413]

"Lack of Ring(s)" is the dumbest argument of all-time. Guess some of the NFL greats need to be removed for "lack of ring(s)" then. Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, Barry Sanders, Tony Gonzalez, Cris Carter, Tim Brown, Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Adrian Peterson, Eric Dickerson, Jim Brown, and on and on...none of those guys have Super Bowl wins and are all in the HOF. Rings is the most foolish way to judge a player's greatness in team sports.

[@patrickbrowne2594]

I can’t believe this is even a question, bro is like the football version of Allen Iverson, smallest dude on the field with the biggest heart.

[@Chiparoo-014]

[@raymartinez5339]

Steve Smith is a hall of famer in my book

[@doctorbarber1]

It's a cliché, but to really understand the kind of season he had in 2005, you really had to be there watching it. Every Sunday was the Steve Smith Show and you knew, win or lose, that there would be at least one moment that left your jaw on the floor if not several. Even then he was still kind of under the radar after several weeks and there were still teams thinking they could take him in single coverage. Like the infamous Fred Smoot game where Steve just roasted him like a Costco chicken all afternoon.

[@jacobblack9496]

I looked up the stats from that game and watched some tape. Fred Smoot got cooked bad. Smith had 201 yards one touchdown, and a perfect catching percentage. His route running that day was so crisp. He ran by Smoot every time and the couple times that he could actually make a play for the ball. Steve Smith boxed him out like a little kid and moss on him twice.

[@Mr.Memphis10]

As a Packers fan, I can't believe this is a real question being asked lol. Steve Smith definitely a HOFer!

[@RevBman7]

Ocho Cinco is the line IMO. Any receiver with better stats should be in at some point. Any receiver who couldn't accomplish as much in the time he did should be out. Smith fits the criteria. Toughest WR of his era.

[@LandlessPeasant]

I like that. I love Johnson but he isn’t a hall of famer, Steve is top 10 all time, playoff and Super Bowl baller. Triple crown. Great blocker.

He had a hof career without a doubt.. However it's be a long time before he gets in. Issac Bruce has 1000 yards and 10 touchdowns more than Smith, was part of the Greatest Show on Turf and it took him 11 years before he was inducted. Tory Holt same numbers and a ring still not in. Also, way defenses are handicap today; in about 10 years I wouldn't be surprised if the stat books are saturated with WRs having +15000 yards and 80 touchdowns. So, that might really kick the can down the road for him if he doesn't get in the next 10 years. Honestly there is no fucking logic for who gets in the hof, especially for WRs. Andre Johnson was just inducted, but Reggie Wayne and Henry Ellard are still on the outside looking in.
