BillsFan130 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 My order is: 1. Jerry rice 2. Calvin Johnson 3. Zay Jones Then probably Antonio brown right after Zay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say you could make the argument that he already is. Jerry Rice IS the g.o.a.t. of WR's. Brown is likely #2 when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) 3 hours ago, Doc said: Brown is a great wide receiver, but he'd need to keep up his average production to date for another 10-1/2 years just to match the real GOAT's production in yards. Never mind touchdowns. He would likely also need to have consecutive HoF quarterbacks throwing to him (without even a gap for the 2nd one to develop). I love Jerry Rice, but I also believe that Rice (and his standing as the GOAT) benefitted greatly from his pretty much unprecedented situation. He stepped right in with 2 fully developed Hall of Fame QB's (not to even mention Bill Walsh as your Head Coach). I believe there have been other guys as good that just didn't have the fortune of Rice's situation. Edited January 15, 2018 by OJABBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Just looking at stats alone, his last 5 years might well be the best 5 year stretch any WR has ever had. Edit: Calvin Johnson's last 6 seasons were on the same level. Edited January 15, 2018 by Rob's House Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Rice was just unbelievable. Hard to say if he helped Montana and Young be as great as they were or vice versa. Easier to just say all three were incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is enough evidence to say that the QB is the more important factor. I can't really think of any WR's that turned a QB from an average guy, into a HoF level guy. I have however seen WR's who were very average, suddenly have very good, great seasons when they are paired with a good QB, and many WR's whose career's dwindled when the HoF QB was gone.

BigDingus Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Jerry Rice is easily the GOAT. There's just no question in my mind. The only debate is who is number 2 at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
