Steve Smith Or Santana Moss?

htownskinfan · 01-22-2006, 10:14 AM

I love moss,and I'm elated he's on our team,but steve smith is the man,the panthers other wr's sucked as bad as ours and he still couldnt be shut down,especially in the playoffs,plus he's the punt returner,so I have 4 questions
1.who would you rather have,moss or smith?
2.is smith better because delholmme is better than brunell?
3.why wont gibbs let star players return kicks? smith is considered the nfl's best rec this yr,but he's still returning kicks,other teams have their stars return kicks,gibbs didnt even have moss return punts in the playoffs even after browns fumble,i know it's because he doesnt want to risk injury,but i cannot remeber the last time i saw a kr get seriously injured
4.should moss return kicks?

Okay, I want to preface this by saying that I spent much of this season watching Steve Smith. I never liked him before. I used to hate the fact that he would celebrate all the time like he was the best WR ever. That said, having watched him this year, he totally changed my perception of him. I think that Steve Smith is the best wide receiver in the NFL.
1. Who would I rather have? Well, I think they're both great NFL receivers and since Moss is already here, I'd go Santana.

2. I don't think that Delhomme is better than Brunell because Jake Delhomme is a lot like a young Jake Plummer. When Delhomme has his A game he's a pretty good QB, but when he has off days (more than 1 or 2 a year) he is horrendous.

3. I think that Gibbs just doesn't have Santana take kicks back for exactly the reason you said, he doesn't want to risk injury to Santana.

4. I don't think that Moss should be returning punts. I think that we should get a young #3/#4 receiver to come in and do that. Or we could use a young CB if we needed to, but I just don't like the idea of having superstar players return punts.

smith has better recievers on the other side and delhomme is much better than brunell.

smiths numbers are higher cause they throw like 8 screens to him every game and run at least 2-3 WR reverses a game as well. They make sure he gets the ball no matter what... gibbs didn't really do that. Moss only got stopped on one screen all season i think, the rest got him 8+ yards every time.

Kerry Colbert & Ricky "I meant to retire 3 years ago" Proel? They have nothing to do with Smith's success.

Right now Steve Smith is better primarily because of Delhomme. Smith is a little more athletic (I think Moss may be faster). No one gets the jump balls like Smith.

However, I think that Smith's style is more likely to get him hurt.

If you look at his body of work this year and consider their backfield troubles and the lack of playmakers on their team, he has been nothing short of spectacular.

1. I think Moss is better because he has abilty to go after the ball instead of just getting open.

2 I think might have a lil more strenth then Brunell but Brunell is still more of a pro

The reson Gibbs will not out MOss back there is because if you remember Darell Green. got injured returning punt gibbs never did it again

and i agree

Steve Smith doesn't have the ability to go get the ball? Have you ever seen him play?

I think you are talking about Delhomme in your second point. Delhomme has been to the Super Bowl. Brunell will never take a team there.

J DIZZLE · 01-22-2006, 07:52 PM

Yea your right but i cant doubt he is with us, and wouldnt have said that if we were playin carolina tonight

Actually now that I think about it your right. Kerry Colbert only had 282 yards this past year (Patten had 226 yards and didn't even play the entire season). On top of that Smith didn't have a tight end type with the Panthers like the Redskins have with Cooley (yes I know hes an H-Back). Not to take anything away from Moss who is a fantastic player, but at this moment Smith is the best reciever in the NFL.

Delhomme is a cajun queer. He's horrible. Brunell is MUCH better. Wait till we get our dirtbags back all healthy, and some time for Brunell to throw. Plus with Saunders? Watch. Brunell is going to surprise a lot of people.

Santana Moss.

memphisskin · 01-24-2006, 03:40 PM

This is a tough one...

They are the same size, are both blazing fast and both make big plays. I'll take Santana 'cuz he's the Redskin.

FRPLG · 01-22-2006, 12:29 PM

Can I have both?

I think Smith is tougher (be it mentally or physically), but other than that, it's a push.
