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

Just an awful example of what I was talking about. Awful.

The route Moss is running right there is a Shake route and that's about as WCO as it gets (think Jerry vs Atl in his 5 td game in 1990). The offense moss broke into the league with was a WCO. Moss was great in a WCO, but I still don't think he's better than Jerry.

Moss's skill are better set as an X or SE WR where as Jerry's was as a Z or flanker. Personally I value the flanker more.

Yup yup

If you don't have Rice, Owens, and Moss on your list you should get a mental evaluation.

Rice
Owens
Largent
Fitzgerald
Alworth
Bruce

TO is the closest thing to a Rice clone the league has had IMHO. Watching him take over for Rice under Young/Garcia he was the most natural fit, more than Moss. That first TD against the Giants in the 2002 wildcard game was a perfect example of Rice 2.0....the quick catch over the middle and then the YAC.

Not that Moss couldn't do those things per se, but he built his reputation on a totally different offense and better for him. Moss in a WCO but not with Young at QB wouldn't have been quite as effective as he was in Minnesota.

Rice and Taylor.

Correct.

Not just for homer bias for JT, but when Owens was on the team, Rice wasn't at that level anymore.

IMO, the list should be based on actual accomplishment and not potential.

It is also skewed because of different rule changes that favor receivers along the way.

Jerry Rice - far and away the best
Terrl [the Bum} Owens
Tim Brown
Cris Carter

OLD SCHOOL

Paul Warfield - one of the best WR I ever saw
Largent
Alworth - Completely amazing
Belitnikoff

Holt and Bruce are up there as a tandem on my list. Lloyd and Battle, top niners tandem ever

Forgot about Holt and Bruce, theyre defintely up there

Jerry rice benefited greatly from montana/young, but sterling sharp was a more talented wr and football player, and would be considered the goat if he had a long career as a 49er and rice was somewhere else.

No love for Sterling Sharpe
