BillsFanM.D. Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Rice. Came to play every practice, every down, and every game of his life. I've always said he was the greatest football player I've ever watched. So, suffice it to say, I'll take him at WR. He broke records like Gretzky....there are no contemporaries for those guys.

mrags Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It's extremely tough not to say Moss for me. But I think Megatron might take it. But it's 1 and 1a for me. 6 in 1, half dozen in the other. Dozen matter to me at all. Either we're unstoppable in their primes. I think of Megateon continues to play he breaks some records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin was a beast but retired at 30 Has 11,600 yards and 83 TDs. He is beat up and at most would've played 5-6 more years No way he sniffs 22,000 and Jerry Rice. Jerry at 1200 yards at 40!

Dr.Sack Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 The best receiver that I've ever seen play in person is AJ Green. I think he's better than Randy Moss. I only saw Jerry on tv, in the later 1/2 of his career, but he was good. Not an athletic freak, but disclipined, hungry & reliable. Only guy to ever come back from an ACL injury in 13 weeks. He was a workout freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) I couldn't split Moss and TO. I think Moss was more naturally gifted but they were both incredible to watch. If we're talking about watching in the flesh, it's a tough choice between Allen Robinson and Chris Hogan Edited August 14, 2017 by Blokestradamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulles Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Unless you are younger than 35, it should be Jerry Rice and it's not even close.If you are younger than 35, you need to study your NFL history. Jerry Rice by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samwell Tarly Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Tough to argue with Rice, he was the total package. Moss was awesome too, the most physically gifted I've seen, but Megatron is right on his heels. Sterling Sharpe also awesome, made Farce and his gunslinger style work because he could catch about anything. As Bills go, Andre Reed for sure. So many great catches during the golden years of this franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Lots of great ones. Jerry Rice sits at the top though. Always made the big plays, and his offseason workout regiment would make some of today's receivers quit the game. Kept his mouth shut, did what was asked, and was the one player any NFL team would covet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'm only going to go with people who have played while I have been watching the league.... so we are talking 2002 on. All time it clearly is Rice but the Rice I saw right at the end of his career was not the Rice that dominated the league. My top 3 are TO, Randy Moss and Megatron... in that order.

Megatron in the West Coast Offense with Montana/Rice throwing to him on those loaded teams would have defined the word "unstoppable." ALL things being equal, I'd take Megatron over anyone.

Billsfansinceday1 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I suspect that a lot here weren't around when Joe was throwing to Jerry. Rice was the best who ever played, without a doubt. Despite lacking top end speed, he torched DBs every single Sunday and his work ethic was legendary. I mean no disrespect to Moss who is a solid #2.

billsintaiwan Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hard to argue with anyone mentioned above. But no love for Lofton? He was a force with green bay. And I think he had Lynn dickey chucking it up for him most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRT88 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Jerry Rice by a mile! He made everything look completely effortless and he showed up every week. Moss ran only one pattern! Calvin Johnson ould be second because he was basically uncoverable. Too much size and athleticism! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
