He went on to ask, "Wonder how good Rice would have been with different quartbacks?".

There always has to be some lame excuse.

Most agreed that he should have been #1 best hands. I remember watching him for, it seem like years, without dropping passes.

Now they did say was the best receiver ever (We know that) but 7th is just bull. I've watched Rice his whole career and I can't remember him dropping more than 2 or 3 passess (Except for rookie season).

They put Largent, Beletnikoff (Spelling, and he used "stick'm"), Fitzgerald ahead of Rice?.. come on man.

Of course he is 7th. He is a 9er. If he'd have been in the NFCEast or played for the Pats he would have been ranked #1. But he was a 9er.

How many Dynasty 9ers are in the HoF?

How many RIGHTFULLY should be? Even Eddie D has been excluded. Al Davis seems to think there is a conspiracy against the Faders? Well he has the conspiracy part right. Just the wrong geographical location.

East Coast bias at it's finest.

Did Cris Carter make the list? I think that he had the 2nd best hands of all time both these guys caught passes that the others would have dropped imho.

They had him at #1. According to them, he caught more one-handed catches than anyone.

I bet Carter would've deferred to Rice were he asked how he felt about the "list".

Carter knows about idiot writers and "lists"

Yeah, I think it's a little early to be crowning him, too. If he keeps up the production for another couple seasons, though, it'd be hard to argue.

Info N/A

Wow, considering the ability to catch the ball is so vital to a receiver's success, it almost seems contradictory to say Rice is the greatest WR of all time but has only the 7th best hands? I would say the leader in career receptions should be placed a little bit higher than 7th. The proof is in the pudding.

Its like saying the greatest QB of of all time (Montana) is marginally accurate on his throws.

Well to be fair, Montana and Young through the ball accurately. I mean the ball hit him in the hand"S" but still the list is crap!

edit: and JR is and most likely will be the best receiver ever. no matter what. f**k that list.

No need to worry bro, we know and that's all that matters, we know Jerry was the absolute best and the records speak for themselves
