duey Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 You can actually see where the votes for which receivers are coming from. So, WTF NEW YORK?!?! Andre is 4th in voting from NY! That's BS! Come on everyone...get Andre his props! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Well, four others here in Texas voted for Andre. Aussie you been busy? Who else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erynthered Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Looks like AD already voted. Look at the Alaska map. Shame on you AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bflo83 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 It's amazing how few people outside of Western NY give Andre any respect. The man was a great receiver. Sterling Sharpe, Cris Carter, Tim Brown & Michael Irvin better than Andre - no way!!!!!!! BTW, I almost didn't read this post, thinking it was about Josh Reed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 sterling sharpe over andre? i think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 There isn't one guy on that list I'd personally take over Andre at his peak (Irvin is closest). The poll results show how much time and name recognition have to do with people's feelings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one, he's in the top 60% of receivers, plus he shows that characteristic cred' that ESPN is looking for, Fo Shizzle. ESPN always weights their polls and commentary towards the guy/team with the most popularity/ street appeal over the best. Players from small market teams like the Buffalo Bills, sabres always get slighted in those polls. I can think of one exception to the rule: Mario Lemieux with the pens. During hockey season, you'd think that ESPN was a religious channel and their diety was mario lepieux. Like all forms of media and entertainment, ESPN is slanted towards one direction instead of being in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duey Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Andre is in last place...unfreaking believable. What a shame. Apparently the rest of the football world was asleep while he was becoming one of the most prolific receivers in NFL history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the rest of the football world was asleep while he was becoming one of the most prolific receivers in NFL history. 385273[/snapback] Andre wasn't a tireless self promoter like Sharpe, Irvin, and Carter. All of whom still have television gigs of some kind. Name recognition is really what this poll is all about. Each of those guys was a terrific player and in reality the numbers should be pretty close. The fact that Andre isn't even cracking 10% tells us all we need to know.

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Andre Reed has my vote, although I think if Sterling Sharpe played as long as brown/reed/irvin/carter. His #'s would probably be better than every one of them, although I saw a lot more of Reed than I did sterling so I went with Reed on bias and what not, and I think it's ridiculous he only has like 7-8% of the total vote.

I know I certainly don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
