Yeah, it's too bad TO didn't get there until Steve Young was basically retired. Rice and TO in his prime would've been insane.

I don't remember TO dropping tons of passes. You must have watched a different TO then I did. (72 targets, 31 catches)

Whats sad is TO was actually a ptp'er. He would not only show up for a ho hum reg season match-up but he had a knack for coming through in big game situations. As much as a pussy he was he was maybe the 6th or 7th greatest WR of all time.
(Rice, Irvin, Carter, Megatron, Largent were probably better but you are hard pressed to rank TO any lower than that.)

Well maybe im a bit partial because he just retired but his numbers are outstanding almost 800 rec for 12k yards and 80 something touchdowns in what, 8 seasons? He came out of GTech in like 07 no? He been in the league less than a decade i believe. Who would you put ahead of him? Randy Moss probably deserves to be ahead of him and perhaps Don Hutson but Megatron def top 8 imo.

Yea Im biased towards moss but i did concede you would have to rank him ahead of Johnson. Moss was a homerun hitter who was actually more dynamic as a young player than a veteran. Carter, Irvin, Rice, Largent, and Tron were not only durable motherfuckers who could catch small stuff for dirty yards but they can beat you over the top too like Moss.
Hutson played in ancient times but look him up dude was a savage.

My greatest TO memory is him showing up for the Eagles in the Super Bowl just two weeks after breaking his leg or whatever and having a great game. Would have won if McNabb hadn't choked, goddamn McNabb. So good for so long and then shits the bed in his biggest moment.
TO was a monster, and I would not be surprised to see him go to the Hall over Harrison. I think he certainly belongs in the conversation about the greatest receivers of all time, even if it is only the outer edges. Harrison's greatness is tied inextricably to Peyton; TO was great no matter who was throwing him the ball.

Maybe the most raw talent of any wide receiver ever. Moss could do things that no one else could do. His timing for going up to get deep balls even while covered was just unreal. He didn't have the size to do certain things that other guys could, but I don't see how Moss can rank any lower than top 5 all time.

This one is easy. It's the Space Jam debate. If aliens invaded and we had to win one football game...
My starting WRs are Rice and Moss. End of story.
RBs would be Bo and Jim Brown btw. Just stirring the pot...

Tim Brown? Marvin Harrison?
P.S. TO was a dropper.. He actually led the league a few times in dropped balls.
I think I'm a Cam Newton fan. Mostly because he's become more than a run-first flash-in-the-pan QB.
I'd actually consider wagering that he's next year's MVP as well.
