Thread: Who is the best WR all time? In their prime.

Good one.

This would be a great question to ask Vic Fangio. God I'd love to hear that man's take on this one. Of course it might tilt toward rival team personnel.

The easy answer is Jerry Rice followed by Randy Moss.

Imma show some love for my dude, Anquan Bolden … the definition of an alpha.

Stallworth!

At their peak, nobody was more dominant than Moss. Guy was unstoppable.

Who can forget Moss’s awareness on this play? He was also intelligent as much as physically talented.

Yes very much so Moss loved fishing.

I saw an old interview with Moss and he said he preferred to live in neighborhoods with old retired white people. He said they were the quietest and nicest neighbors to have. It was actually really funny and kind of a cool insight into his personality.

You can’t really answer this without first breaking down the WR position by size and class. The Marshalls, evans, plaxico burress type of WR is in a whole notha type of football playing than a desean Jackson Antonio brown Steve smith.

Sure you can.

Chazoe is.

It just feels like when you go 'who was the best at their best' Megatron starts laughing at every other WR and progressively gets more disrespectful with his laugh.

When i think of Rice i dont look at just his stats, i look at his ability to change the game and make the clutch plays needed to win them.

Moss and Megatron certainly were talented receivers and will be HOF'rs but Rice to me was on a whole other level and the fact that he wasnt necessarily as gifted athletically as the other two makes what he did even more impressive to me.

But he had Gannon during a MVP run and high level play. He also had Jeff Garcia, who was an above average QB for a spell.

I think Rice is probably the GOAT at the position, but throughout his career he had more around him than any other WR. To be fair, I always felt like the guy who benefited the most from that insane group of talent was Montana.
