Buffalo716 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Jerry Rice once said his favorite receiver was Andre Reed.Kind of. He was asked who besides Jerry Rice, is the best WR in the nfl. And he answered Andre reed!I'm changing my answer! I'm switching Moss for Jerry! Moss was more gifted but I'm gonna switch it to the GOAT As in the Greatest football player of all time. He was phenomenal at 40 and at 23 Edited August 14, 2017 by Buffalo716
Doc Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Yup. In his only season playing with a top QB he set the all time NFL touchdown record. Imagine if he had played with Montana and Young his entire career like Rice did. I remember John Madden saying once that even if Randy Moss is double covered on a deep route you should still throw it to him because he'll make the play more often than not. Moss played with Brady for 4 seasons. And he averaged about as many touchdowns as he did in his seven seasons with Culpepper. Oh and Rice averaged more touchdowns per game in his record-setting TD season.
Big Turk Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Unless you are younger than 35, it should be Jerry Rice and it's not even close. I disagree...Sterling Sharpe was every bit of Rice's equal
CDogg20 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) The best was easily Jerry Rice. The most talented is another question, but that's Randy Moss.This. Saw mentions of Larry Fitz and T.O as well which I agree with.I'd also have to throw Cris Carter in the mix. Guy had the best hands i've ever seen. But overall i'd go with Jerry.

row_33 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Moss. His post-peak time with Brady was a perfect match for top WR and QB. Good thing Brady didn't get anything near half of Moss to work with the other 13 or so years.
KellyToughII Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Rice said Reed was the best ever at going over the middle. Rice and Swann for me. No way is it Moss
NoSaint Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Moss played with Brady for 4 seasons. And he averaged about as many touchdowns as he did in his seven seasons with Culpepper. Oh and Rice averaged more touchdowns per game in his record-setting TD season. Well, 3.25 in New England and one of those with cassell In the 2 full seasons with Brady the average is 18 tds, which would've been his best season in minny.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Lee Evans. Every Ravens' fan would agree with this.
row_33 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Was reminded again this week of Moss sprinting down the ride sideline and making the catch of the Brady bomb in the left corner of the EZ, with 3 defenders on him.
zonabb Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Moss then Rice. Two different eras. One played in a less pass centric era with two of the greatest QBs of all time and was spectacular. The other played in a more pass-oriented era and dominated (as did Rice) but was physically a better, more dominant player. And I grew up through both and hated Moss as a person. Undeniable as a WR.
Boatdrinks Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 It's Jerry Rice for me, no question. Moss then Rice. Two different eras. One played in a less pass centric era with two of the greatest QBs of all time and was spectacular. The other played in a more pass-oriented era and dominated (as did Rice) but was physically a better, more dominant player. And I grew up through both and hated Moss as a person. Undeniable as a WR. I actually didn't mind Moss as a person. Even more so after watching the 30 for 30 on him. He got screwed over in his college days and seems like a decent guy.
Rocky Landing Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Stevie Johnson OK, I'm just trolling, here...
EasternOHBillsFan Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Unless you are younger than 35, it should be Jerry Rice and it's not even close. Andre Reed was every bit as good as Jerry Rice, so for me it's Andre Reed, and greatest non-Bills WR goes to Calvin Johnson, AKA Megatron. He was better than any WR I ever remember watching. FORGET HOF NUMBERS... his talent was so huge and he was so unbelievably awesome him retiring early was very sad. Edited August 14, 2017 by EasternOHBillsFan
North Buffalo Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Rice for sure, but for Pure Speed.. Cliff Branch... before Rice there was Steve Largent and Fred Bilitinikoff (sp?) And the predecessor to Moss was Harold Carmichael. These guys did it during the clutch and grab era.
