T.O.-Top 10 Receivers of all time?

[avaj]

Do you think T.O. is one of the top 10 receivers of all time?

I was listening to the the Ticket on my way home and Shannon Sharpe said T.O. is probably one of the best receiver of all time. I was thinking about it and I don't even think he makes my 10 ten list of all time.

Is he on your list?

Going by stats,yes

 

[Juke99]

Well, let's see...off the top of my head...

He's not better than Jerry Rice, Raymomd Berry, Paul Warfield, Randy Moss, Lance Alworth, Marvin Harrison, Michael Irvin, Steve Largent, Charlie Taylor...

Then there's Don Hutson, Cris Carter, Art Monk, Tim Brown...Who are close to top ten...

So...uh, maybe.

And PLEEEEEEEEASE folks, when ya start debating this, REMEMBER the era some of these guys played in...Don Hutson, Paul Warfield are not going to have great numbers....but remember, the game was VERY different back then.

Might I ask who you have in the top 10?

 

[5Stars]

Top 10 of all time?

That's hard...

Maybe? But he could be better if he wanted too.

 

[Aven8]

Going by "the ability to catch a football" NO!

Imagine if he could catch.....he would be #2 on the list.

Two things.

:laugh2:

That's why I reminded people, you HAVE to consider the era. In the 50's 60's and 70's, d-backs were allowed to mall receivers...the passing game was NOT sophisticated and the passing game was not utilized to the degree that it is today. Look at someone like Staubach...Romo throws more passes in half a season than Staubach did in some entire seasons..which btw, were only 14 games.

So...uh...that said...I think I'm gonna go get my helmet.

 

[Muhast]

yes he'd fit in the 7-10 region of the top 10

 

[Maikeru-sama]

True.

However, he also played in a very "offense" friendly era of the NFL.

I believe there are more than 10 receivers throughout history that were better "players" than he was.

Ok got it!

How long ya been watching the game sonny?

 

[dallasfaniac]

So were Harrison, Rice, Irvin, et. all not also from pass happy years or just Owens?

 

[5Countem5]

Everybody can have an opinion, but there is not one point in their career that TO wasn't wayyyyyyyy better than Tim Brown...

 

[Maikeru-sama]

[off the subject]

Juke, out of curiosity, what is your opinion on Sterling Sharpe?

I think the guy is very underrated and just never had a Quarterback until the end of his career.

 

[Bonecrusher#31]

If he had above average hands he'd might be # 1 at the end of career

 

[Nav22]

Art Monk? He couldn't hold T.O.'s jock. Get real.
