Going to miss this guy.

Steve Smith needs 235 yards for 1,000 yards.
The Ravens Single Game Record for Receptions is 13.
This game is meaningless besides being SSS last game.

Let's THROW HIM THE DANG BALL so he can go out as a 1,000 yard WR who set the Ravens Single Game Record in his last game. I want to see a 15-240-1 line.

Can't think of a more fitting tribute for a player who defines & exemplifies what it means to "Play Like A Raven"

[Raven in ATL]

it sucks as a Raven fan to watch us get guys like SSS at the tail end of their careers. SSS, Boldin, Mason... just once i wish we would draft a WR to keep around for the long trip. thanks for the memories, god bless in your retirement SSS!

[Purple Dawg 96]

Triple " S " had a Super Bowl coming but a very very very bad pass against the pats prevented him from getting his ring! Smh So glad he became a Raven and will miss his fire out there on the field! STEVE SMITH SR. I "SALUTE" YOU!
"When you see this face that means I just scored"!

would not surprise me if that is the game plan for sunday. get him the ball as much as possible.

[The Greek]

he was a 3rd rd. pick and since 1996 the front office has yet to draft a legit wr. pathetic!!

[ellicottraven]

SSS is a great WR. The best we've ever had playing as a Raven despite having lost a step or two. He's a HOFer!

[Crusader]

Thanks SSS. You help give the team a chance and they blew it.

[Mahatma_Sloth]

let's hope Kamar Akin shows out then tipping SSS to that 11%

This dude has been everything they hoped he would be, and more.

Why not deliver the compliment without the negativity?

[Dedicated Raven]

Heard the pain in your voice and the love coming from your eyes in the press conference, going to miss the heck out of you.

[sizzlingdoom]

No more SSS. Maybe no more TSizzle, Doom, and BWILL. Ummmmm, yeah. not good

[Rav'n Maniac]

There is no doubting the type of player and man that Steve Smith is after that presser. I'm just disappointed his final game is away and our fans don't have the chance to send him out right.

[sizzlingdoom]

Ravens are trending downward, lead by everyone at the top. Except for Steve Biscotti

[gooftroop]

Hard to believe this is the same 89 who, at one time, was regarded as a bad egg, if not an outright punk. Seems like he figured out a way to keep all of his good qualities, while shedding some of the bad ones. Great story, really...

[Popeye the sailor man]

Steve Smith should stay and retire as a Raven, if not as a player then maybe as a coach, I'm sure the Ravens Organization would find a place for him

[playlikeawhat]

Is he capable of waiting to see how we draft before he closes the door for good or not? That'd be funny if that's what he's doing.

if he can still run with the young dawgs,why retire,he can still play in the slot like BOLDIN did.he's still playing.

[OriolesMagicPlease]

Thank you Steve for always playing hard and fighting for the ball. Your spirit and drive will certainly be missed!

[coreyadams]

Pay cut Slacco and get more play-makers

[thebirdcage]

I am always so surprised when "fans" dog our own players ..tut tut ..support our players people!
As for Steve Smith Sr. I will miss him. I will miss his courage of conviction, his authenticity and his dominance. He was never afraid to say who he was and he owned his mistakes. He is a beast of a player and always has been.
Thank you Steve, it has been a pleasure to watch you throughout the years. Your true grit, perserverance and tenacity made each game memorable. Enjoy your retirement, you have certainly earned it!
