row_33 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Sure, but even then, he averaged over 1,000 yards a season over his 10-year career. His average yards per catch was 18.9. They didn't keep YAC stats back then, but he was usually running pretty free. Those are pretty awesome numbers for the 1960s, don't you think? that was the AFL, which still doesn't carry what it deserved. the man has my full respect, Don Hutson as well from people that saw him.

row_33 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The other thing in this convo is best combo. Swan and Stallworth though not GOATs were a heckuv a pair. The other guy who had stats was Gene Washington for San Fran. There were two back in those days by the same name. the other played for Minnesota. The Gene with San Fran I once saw leap clean over top a defender to make a catch. Guy could sky! The abuse that was within the legality of the game put on Swann and Stallworth hemmed in their stats a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Moss had the talent, and I'd choose him if he played even when he didn't feel like it. The greatest WR of all time doesn't have to be just the most talented. They have to be professional as well, so I'll go with Jerry Rice. Moss might own all his records if he'd, you know, been in the mood a little more. (I know, I know, Rice had some HOF QB play, but Moss was such a disappointment in so many ways...)

dusty63 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The best WR I've seen was Steve Largent. He wasn't as physically gifted as Moss and Rice, but he had unbelievable hands and ran his routes so cleanly. He always made the important catches and the tough catches was was never a Prima Donna!

dwight in philly Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Moss, Rice, all good, but as another poster pointed out,Raymond Berry defined the WR position.. i stated i liked Alworth, but Berry is an equal.. different types, but the best i have seen.. i would also put Charlie Hennigan in the mix too.

kishoph Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It be hard to argue that Jerry Rice isn't the greatest of all time, next up I would say Steve Largent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
