TIM BROWN lol


I used to always hear that bs from raider fans back in the day. They were so jealous and delusional about T.B. that they even said he was better than Rice.

Moss all the way.
The only other WR that has put up great/consistent numbers over a long career. Tim Brown.

I have to go with Moss, just from memory I believe T.O. had a higher percentage of drops than he did.

Same, I'd go with Moss. He's still an A hole.

how is tim brown better thann T.O?
Don Hutson
TO is an incredible locker room cancer... But one of the great big game players in any sport, at any position, of all time. Athletic, confident, focused, and driven. Just too much of a chemistry liability.

Moss is up there with LeBron as the greatest physical specimen in sports. But is a lazy looser, and therefore I have a hard time awarding that to him.

But Fitzgerald should be on the list. Imagine if he played his entire career with a Warner (or equivalent), as Rice/Irvin/Moss (somewhat)/TO did. He may be the 2nd best when all is said and done.

Whats to say Jerry Rice would make a team in 2085? It is all relative. You have to look at who dominated the game at the time he was playing. That guy dominated.

yup, this. Dude was the first really great WR, and you have to include him for his significance to the game.

The other WRs in this poll are all pretty great, but they only really represent one era--the era of the WR. Maybe "Hutson wouldn't make a team nowadays" (highly unlikely, even on a purely speculative level; if Don Hutson were born today and conditioned like athletes today are, is it impossible to think that he would make a team?), but he was a dominant player who owned a ton of records that stood for a long time.
