I'll take Lynn Swann.

 

[Setterman]

me too.. Or Jerry Rice.

The QB made the WR and the WR made the QB.

Raymond Barry and Johnny Unitas perfected the two minute drill, with two feet tapping inside the side lines like a ballet dancer.

Pure talent alone - Randy Moss

Bullit Bob Hayes. Olyimpic Gold Medalist. Fastest human on earth (at that time)!

 

[APrice]

LOL at Randy Moss!! He wouldn't even make the top 3.

Jerry Rice is the winner here.

 

[postmastertim]

Actually Moss was Sports Illustrated's #4.

I vote Rice.

The greatest wide receiver threats in NFL history were Lynn Swann and John Stalworth.

 

[GRR]

DON HUDSON

 

[DENNISMASTROLIA1]

GRR has it all the way--Look up HIS stats!!! Truly amazing. Don Hutson.

I loved watching the Swann/Stallworth combo!
But a lot of it depended on the task.
Jerry Rice and Lance Allworth were great receivers, but for a possession receiver, there was a fellow that played on the Raiders in the '60's who mastered the art of the "toes on the sideline, falling out of bounds" catch. I just can't think of his name at the moment.

You're probably referring to Fred Biletnikoff of the Raiders. With 22000 receiving yds and 197 touchdowns Jerry Rice is hands down the best.

Drew Pearson, Fred Bilitnekof, and Jerry Rice.

 

[Bruce Specht]

Jerry Rice followed by Fred Bilentnkoff

 

[Remdog1187]

Another one for Fred Biletnikoff. There's a reason that college football names the annual best receiver award after him.

No showboating, no diva behavior. Ran perfect routes. Just caught everything that was thrown near him.

 

[birdogs]

Finally someone mentioned Jerryn Rice. Rice is one of only 2 platers (not kickers) to score over 1000 points in his career. Who is the other?

 

[Dougbbbb]

Emmit Smith

 

[WoodsonEnt]

On raw, pure talent alone: Randy Moss

Jerry Rice was the best. He had some excellent QB's throwing to him also.

 

[Hookedonshooting]

Jerry Rice. Lynn Swann?? Compare his #s to Isaac Curtis of the Bengals. Both played in the same era. Amazing how that guy is not in the HOF.
