Among all the WRs listed from everyone's post, personally, I only see the 3 below (aside Rice) who woulda benefited from Joe and Steve with our WCO.

RICE - we already know what he did

1) Owens

2) Fitzgerald

3) Calvin

.. so personally, I fully believe that the likes of Irvin, Tim Brown, Randy, would not have fitted well in our offense..

Randy Moss was the most talented receiver.Insane speed,jumping and run after the catch ability.If he would have played 100% every game he would have eclipsed Rice in more categories

Randy never had the "after the catch" hunger that Rice Owens and Fitzy did... But I will not deny the fact that when the ball is up in the air, no one gets it like Randy!!!

No offense, but I find this opinion to be ridiculous. The WCO is predicated on quick slants, quick outs and a ton of YAC. Moss refused to go over the middle.

He is one of if not the most athletic players to ever play the position. But his value came from stretching the field, burning defensive backs and winning jump ball throws.

When did you ever see Moss make plays like this?:

Chris Carter or Isaac Bruce for number 6.

Exactly how I feel

I think I remember Jerry saying that there were a number of WRs he felt that were more naturally talented than he was. None of them had his work ethic in practice or on the field.
