Is this really the end of Steve Smith?

I feel like channeling my inner Boyz II Men, but I’ll save it for another day.

Steve Smith tore his Achilles yesterday against the San Diego Chargers. Prior to the injury, Smith was having a typical day at the office with five receptions and 82 yards. It’s the type of production we’ve come to expect from Smith, and this season, despite the fact he announced that this would be his last in the NFL, has been no difference. To be honest, I hope he steps on the field at least one more year, because it’s tough to see a star athlete — or any player for that matter — end his career due to injury.
