[ QUOTE ] Also, I think wide receivers fall into a category of sports where steroids won't help most. Your muscles lose flexibility and "feel". [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. Recievers need agility, speed, good hands and the ability to accelerate in and out of cuts. Steroids don't really help with that stuff. Strength helps, but it's secondary. [/ QUOTE ] What? Don't you know how strong David Boston is? His career exploded. |

Re: Best NFL wide receivers
Moss and Owens have always been fine when there teams have been winning, Harrison/Rice didn't have to deal with losing so it is harder to comment on there character. Remember when Rice lost his consecutive catch streak in a game the Raiders won and he pouted?
I feel this should be stickied YOU CAN'T TELL IF SOMEONE TAKES STEROIDS BY LOOKING AT THEM. Moss>>>>>> Hester, if Hester was a better athlete he would be doing more than returning kicks and being the 4th WR. |

Re: Best NFL wide receivers
Two quick points obviously athletes today are better than athletes years ago. But you need to compare them to people they played against. If Lyle Overbay went back in time he'd crush Babe's Ruth's records but that doesn't mean he's a better baseball player historically. As well when comparing stats you need to consider that football is far more pass oriented now so receivers have inflated numbers.

This was exactly the kind of season that would cause Moss and TO to have a fit. Marv never said a word and finished with 109 catches for 1524 yards and 15 TDs. |

Re: Best NFL wide receivers
I'm going with peak Moss as #1 WR of all time
of course, his peak (for various reasons) was much shorter than Rice, so the career of Rice >>>> career of Moss without going too much into the chicken/egg debate, Rice spent most of his career playing with 2 historically great QB's, which helped his counting stats immensely. |
