Best NFL wide receivers

Comparing past players to todays players is silly. The game has evolved so much, players are bigger, faster, and better in general. Kids start training to be NFL players out of the womb now, it didn't used to be like that. Watching film of receivers from 30 years ago compared to the best receivers today is just laughable, it was a completely different game.

Sterling Sharpe would have been top 5 if he had a longer career imo.

I'd take Owens over Moss.

Owens has a much better work ethic and is stonger, not afraid of getting popped.

The Eagles/Dawkins last week showed you how to beat down Moss. Just smack him around a little and he isn't a great receiver that catches 3 TDs per game.

IMO Randy Moss is by far the most athletically gifted player ever in the nfl.

that with the fact that Owens drops a lot make shim better than Owens imo

Holy [censored], that's one bad list. I don't think the author knows anything about football.

LOL @ Bernard Berrian.

Also the comment on Jimmy Smith is hilarious.

I know you agree with me on getting Andre Reed higher. And everyone knows if Jimmy was in NY he woulda been top 10 maybe better. I miss watching Jimmy Smith play football, he was so dominant.

How does that mean anything if Moss still ends up getting his production, more so than Owens. You're just subjecting your own bias into their evaluation as a player.
