I guess they figured with 2 HOF QB's throwin him the ball that it couldnt be that hard to catch as many as he did. We all know 7 is waaay too low just hatin on him and SF thats all. Doesnt matter he's still the G.O.A.T.

Come on. #7 all time is pretty damn great. He was the best ever no doubt, but I remember him dropping a few.

I remember a game against the Giants and the Niners took a shot deep middle to Rice and he was so wide open he dropped it. My heart dropped and I believe we lost this game. But had he caught that perfectly thrown ball, I believe the Giants would have been routed that day
I have to agree with #1. How many of you have ever had a hand job by Chris Carter?

Dexter Carter had great hands. Wasn't a kick return he couldnt fumble.

I'd take Carter over the joke of a return game we had this season.

Yeah. I can buy Chris Carter at #1. He had great hands. Should Jerry be at #7? I don't know. Depends on who they have listed ahead of him. But I don't think Jerry should be #1 or #2 or anything. The show was called "Top 10 Greatest Hands". Now if it was "Top 10 Greatest Receivers," then Rice not at #1 would be a crime.

This.
So where is this supposed list? Who ranks where?

Nice list and great company for number 80. I agree with the top 3.

I wouldve put Fitz a little lower on that list, and Sterling had better hands than Jerry, IMO.
Andre Johnson has to be on this list: he can catch machine-launched footballs, submarine sandwiches, and even fountain drinks without even spilling a drop.

But seriously, I do remember Rice having his share of both one-handed catches and drops. If this list could also include active players, I would consider Holt and Fitzgerald.
