major Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 All this talk about Watkins got me thinking about the best receiver I've ever seen in the NFL. I'm going with Randy Moss. I've seen Jerry Rice, Lynn Swann, Drew Pearson, etc... But Randy was the best I've seen. Yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I like the question. I'd probably say Randy Moss, too. I think Rice is a very close second. T. Owens also impressed me, but I think his antics taints it a bit. If Odell wasn't such a headcase, he can/could be something special, too. That pass he caught is still unbelievable! Â But, speed, cut, pattern, and longevity, Moss and Rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Mas was definitely the most physically gifted. The Rice was the greatest despite playing in an era where they didn't favor the passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It's gotta be one of Rice, Moss, or Calvin Johnson. Â If you told me to pick one of the 3 in their prime for my team, I actually think I'd go with Megatron. Â Nobody ever had the combination of size, speed, and hands like he did. Â It was almost unfair when he was on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Randy MossYup. In his only season playing with a top QB he set the all time NFL touchdown record. Imagine if he had played with Montana and Young his entire career like Rice did.  I remember John Madden saying once that even if Randy Moss is double covered on a deep route you should still throw it to him because he'll make the play more often than not.

Buffalo716 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Jerry Rice once said his favorite receiver was Andre Reed.Kind of. He was asked who besides Jerry Rice, is the best WR in the nfl. And he answered Andre reed!I'm changing my answer! Â I'm switching Moss for Jerry! Â Moss was more gifted but I'm gonna switch it to the GOAT Â As in the Greatest football player of all time.

Â I remember John Madden saying once that even if Randy Moss is double covered on a deep route you should still throw it to him because he'll make the play more often than not. Moss played with Brady for 4 seasons. And he averaged about as many touchdowns as he did in his seven seasons with Culpepper.

row_33 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Moss. His post-peak time with Brady was a perfect match for top WR and QB. Good thing Brady didn't get anything near half of Moss to work with the other 13 or so years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Moss played with Brady for 4 seasons. And he averaged about as many touchdowns as he did in his seven seasons with Culpepper. Oh and Rice averaged more touchdowns per game in his record-setting TD season. Well, 3.25 in New England and one of those with cassell  In the 2 full seasons with Brady the average is 18 tds, which would've been his best season in minny.

zonabb Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Moss then Rice. Two different eras. One played in a less pass centric era with two of the greatest QBs of all time and was spectacular. The other played in a more pass-oriented era and dominated (as did Rice) but was physically a better, more dominant player. And I grew up through both and hated Moss as a person. Undeniable as a WR.

Boatdrinks Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It's Jerry Rice for me, no question. Moss then Rice. Two different eras.

The other played in a more pass-oriented era and dominated (as did Rice) but was physically a better, more dominant player. And I grew up through both and hated Moss as a person. Undeniable as a WR. Â I actually didn't mind Moss as a person. Even more so after watching the 30 for 30 on him. He got screwed over in his college days and seems like a decent guy.

EasternOHBillsFan Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Unless you are younger than 35, it should be Jerry Rice and it's not even close. Andre Reed was every bit as good as Jerry Rice, so for me it's Andre Reed, and greatest non-Bills WR goes to Calvin Johnson, AKA Megatron. He was better than any WR I ever remember watching. FORGET HOF NUMBERS... his talent was so huge and he was so unbelievably awesome him retiring early was very sad.

North Buffalo Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Rice for sure, but for Pure Speed.. Cliff Branch... before Rice there was Steve Largent and Fred Bilitinikoff (sp?) And the predecessor to Moss was Harold Carmichael. These guys did it during the clutch and grab era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
