Clearly. But I just picked random guys who had good numbers from the modern era. I don't think anybody but T.O. thinks he's the greatest ever.

Biletnikoff is just there for the homer pick.

I figure if you can argue QBs, you can argue this.

(Btw, my bad for forgetting Lynn Swann, Chris Carter... Marvin Harrison, Andre Reed... etc... It was 2 in the morning, but that's no excuse.)

lol @ Lynn Swann. He wasn't even the best receiver on the team.

That thread can't be taken seriously when they are bringing up people like Al Toon, Art. Monk, James Lofton and TO, among others. Terrible thread.

2 of these 3 were borderline HOFers, and Carter wasn't even the best for a single season while he was in the league...Come on MAAAAAN

I love Cris Carter. One of my all-time favorite receivers.

Hope you don't like him as an on-air personality, because he's absofuckinglutely brutal.

Those people are more intelligent and football savvy than anyone here - period.

You are the least intelligent poster I've ever seen based on your writing ability and use of syntax/grammar.

Don't know enough about your "football savvy" to say, but the fact that you used the phrase "football savvy" gives me cause for thinking you only think you have it.

how is bringing up Art Monk, James Lofton, and TO not serious ?

all are career statistical leaders compared to the majority. Had great long carers and great single seasons. You discount too easily.

haha typing has nothing to do with writing. time and again it needs to be explained that commenting here is like notes on a fridge. I'll worry about correct spelling and punctuation where it matters most. Here aint it.

football savvy = just a slang term, try not to over think it.

It speaks volumes of how great Rice was that its almost impossible for an average guy to put a top 5 list together without googling or just naming randoms from there current era.

Alworth , Largent , Maynard , etc...those guys arent in the same stratosphere with Rice.

The ironic part is the late 80s-90s did in fact have significantly better athletes at the position that previous eras. Guys like Hutson have much bigger gaps between he and the next man in his era.But Rices gap between he and the next WR all time is huge.

Randy Moss is weird. Hes the most dangerous weapon Ive ever seen at WR.If you poked me hard enough Id say hes the best weapon on a football field since Gale Sayers. Hes been the catalyst to the 2 highest scoring offenses of all time. QBs have career years and MVP type seasons with him. Arguably 2 of the greatest seasons a WR has ever had.
Yet knowing his talent and obvious ability , his numbers are a letdown and his overall career is easily overshadowed by peers.

You extract his brain and put him in an all time draft. Im not sure he wouldnt go number 1. But when you take into account his personality thered be 5-6 guys this era alone id take ahead of him.

Only player I can name that can legitimately rank no.2 or number 20 and still be perfectly rated on an all time list.

You just don't have the brainpower to comprehend what some people are saying

Because there is no competitor to the throne of Best WR of all time, some things should just be consensus.

There are a few unquestioned truths in sports, just a few, and Rice being the greatest WR of all time is one of them.

Just like Ted Williams is the greatest hitter of all time, the Beatles are the greatest band of all time, and Coke is the best soft drink, Jerry Rice is the unchallenged GOAT at his position.
