Who is the 2nd greatest Receiver of all time...
- Thread starter slam
- Start date
Talent wise, Randy Moss is the greatest receiver ever. The catches he made since coming into the league are second to none. However, the hardest worker and therefore, best receiver stats-wise is Jerry Rice.
Terrell Owens, Chris Carter, Marvin Harrison, and Tim Brown can fight for 3rd

Can't argue with that
Jerry Rice is the greatest receiver of all-time and everyone else is fighting for second place. Moss is not even close to fucking with Jerry Rice. Rice not only caught the long ball, he caught short ones and broke them, through the middle, used to run the reverse, and was a GREAT blocker and the best route-runner of all time.
Moss was one of the greatest one-dimensional offensive forces in NFL history but he was still one dimensional.

It was breaking a few of THIS man's records that put Jerry Rice @ #1, he was the first WR to hit 100 TDs, the first to record 819 receptions, and the first to retire with over 13,000 yards receiving, in an era where DBs could actually beat on a receiver with no flags, playing for mostly woeful Seattle Seahawk teams.
To date he is STILL the only Seattle Seahawk in the HOF!

I've done a lot of research into this topic.
Rice worked hard, yes. Extremely. However, it's only talked about so much because of how much he produced.
In this PC age, we want people to believe that their success is limited only by the effort they're willing to put into it. That's a nice notion, but it is just not the case. Jerry Rice may not have had freakish combine numbers...
...but dude was born to play that position. He honed it to perfection...
...but my research has suggested that there are A LOT of pro athletes who go H.A.M.-SQUARED, but you don't hear much about their work ethics because they don't produce legendary performances, and all-time numbers.
Chris Carter...
How you going to leave out the Player Maker Michael Irvin?
Rec: 1078
Yards: 15934

danm i forgot how good he was, his last few yrs bouncing saround from team to team made me forget his domincance early on
Rec: 1078
Yards: 15934
TD: 153
And his numbers coulda been way more than that if he didn't drop so many passes. TO should not be in any running for 2nd greatest WR.
I'ma go with Cris Carter for now.

Thank you for posting this. No question that T.O. is second to Rice. Randy could be third. No way C.C. and Harrison are top 5 though, no fucking way.
I thought about Lofton, but didn't want to look like I was being too BILLS biased, but yeah, I should have at least given him a mention.
Lynn Swan.
Agreed. And Tim Brown doesnt belong in the discussion.
Moss is the clear cut #2 in my book.
not yet.... but if he puts in 5-6 more seasons like last year, he can get to #2
They would make Sanchez look like Montana.Imagine a team with Moss and Rice.

Is this another case of history not starting until after 1990 ?
Impact and Greatness are more than stats.
But in that head up comparison Moss was a long ball receiver while Rice did more after the catch..

TO put up some monster numbers man
He cheated himself out of adding to those stats by running his mouth too much and being on the streets when he can still play these last few years
He still not better than Randy Moss, who is the best of the rest
Harrison put up huge numbers with Manning. T.O. put up huge numbers with several QBs.
