Jerry Rice used to run down the field, and catch the ball and score a touchdown. Here is a video of Jerry Rice.

Niners actually lost this game. It was in Dec of 1985. Jerry had 10 catches for 241. It was his first real big game as a niner.

I knew I was seeing greatness and that's why I'm still pissed at Warren Sapp. Rice was still on an absolute tear if not for that ridiculous play by Sapp. No telling what records Rice was denied by that cheap play

Well, Jerry was coming off of 3 straight 100 catch seasons (couldve been 4 straight but he had 98 catches in 1993). Id imagine if healthy he would have approached 100 catches in 1997.

Yes! I knew a WR that old wasn't supposed to be that old and yet still that dominant. And I knew it was due to his work unlike any we had seen before

Ok, Joe and Steve are my two favorite players of all-time (hence the 816 in my name tag) so I wouldn't deminish them in any way. But this notation that Jerry was a product of just them is ridiculous. It was a mutually beneficial relationship obviously.

Pre knee injury, there was 4 times (1986, 1991, 1995 & 1996) that Jerry had a starting QB that wasn't joe or Steve for an extended period of time. This sample encompasses 21 games and the QBs were Kemp, Bono and Grbac. In this 21 games Jerry had the following numbers:

122 catches
1932 yards
20 tds

Those per games averages are 5.8 catches per game and 92 yards per game. All these numbers exceed his niner career numbers of 5.4 catches per game and 81 yds per game. So if you projected a 16 games season with just his numbers with the likes of kemp, Bono, and Grbac staring Jerry's season would be 93 catches 1472 yards and 15 tds. Idk, kinda seems like Jerry got his regardless of who was behind center.

Which is why anyone placing Jerry anywhere other than #1, especially on THIS site, looks like a fool. Jerry was better without Young and Montana. The proof is in the pudding, but you won't see 4everfaithful and those like him consider that in their weak arguments. Weak attempt to look unbiased when there's no need to, Jerry was GOAT.

Jerrys longevity was inhuman. His determination also. no one wanted to catch the ball more than jerry.
