Tim Brown should probably be in the discussion for #2 all time.
I literally said this outloud to my roommate who was saying Carter.Quote:

Rice is the best no question.
I would argue Moss was the scariest to defend though when he was in his prime (and playing for a decent team, which was the only time he gave a ****). He forced teams to play 2 safeties deep every single play, no other receiver was feared as much as Moss.
Also, Moss is the most physically gifted WR ever, watch his rookie year highlights and try and argue that.
Whatever happened to him?Quote:

Calvin is 27, 6-5, 236, runs 4.32, and has a 40 inch vertical.
These numbers are old. Moss has 156 career tds-2nd most.

Teams that have Randy Moss always lose the big game.
There's that.
Really? He had nothing to do with the 98 loss; that loss is on Denny Green. Not his fault in 07 when asante samuel dropped an easy interception to seal the game. Jerry Rice is great, but Joe Montana won two super bowls before him.Quote:

I know that's not all on the WR, but winning always looks good.
It's Jerry Rice, and nobody else even comes close. The consistency and numbers alone make the case. Moss is a coulda/woulda/shoulda story - you always wonder what he could have done if he hadn't taken plays, games, or even entire seasons off (right, Raiders fans?)
I don't think anyone here has mentioned Raymond Berry yet. His numbers are great considering what defensive backs were allowed to do in his day, and he was the first or one of the first true technicians at the position.
