What NFL Receiver Is Like Irvin?

Bolden. End of story. Holt is another Terry Glen.

Bolden gets my vote as well.

Oh boy..

Fitz..FAIL

Boldin..FAIL

They are awsome WR's but arn't even close to Irvins passion and leadership. Fitz reminds me of Marion Barber and Boldin is just a cry baby. Zero leadership.

 

[TD-33]

Brandon Marshall was the 1st guy that comes to mind.

Here ya go....

Not in the NFL though, yet....

Boldin..FAIL

It's mean to ask us, and then call us fail when we answer. Plus, you're wrong. The right answer was Bolden.

Brandon Marshall was the 1st guy that comes to mind.

Marshall is baby TO. On 'roids.

There's none "like Mike"!!

Bingo!

There are several who possess one or more of Irvin's attributes, but none have them all.

How can anyone even say Boldin is like Irvin, other than maybe reciever qualities? If Boldin was like Irvin, he wouldn't even be a trade consideration. Boldin is not the heart and soul of Cardinals. His physical skills maybe somewhat similar.

LIke original post started with, there is simply no other like Irvin. More you know about him, more you understand how special he was. Same like Darren Woodson ( I never knew how great he was till he was no longer there).

I think Roy Williams is a Michael Irvin type receiver.

 

[NextGenBoys]

Hmmm ya that's pretty close. Although Ward is just a consistant WR. Never was dominant.

Not quite.

Both strong possession guys who can run block. Both leaders of their teams. Ward is 6' 205, Irvin is 6'2 207.

The comment about Hines just being consistant is laughable. He put up 112 catches for 1329 yards and 12 TD's in 2002 and Mikes best year was 111 for 1603 and 10 TD in 1995.

In 12 seasons Mike has 50 fewer catches and 7 less TD's than Ward has in 11 seasons. Put down the Steeler hatorade and notice that Ward is a baller.

Hines Ward is probably the closest thing you're going to find to Michael Irvin in today's NFL.

I think Roy Williams is a Michael Irvin type receiver.

As far as his game yes. Attitude, no.

 

[Jay]

passion does not nessecarily manifest itself in the same ways accross the board. Being vocal or not matters very little.

I would say Boldin is pretty darn close.

Playing styles, yeah, Anquan Boldin.

But Boldin blew a hissy fit on the sideline last year. Boldin barely celebrated with his teammates after they won the NFC Championship.

Irvin wouldn't have done that. Irvin wanted the ball, but Irvin wanted to win even more. As long as they won, he didn't care what transpired.

Irvin wasn't a bisexual drama queen like TO is.

'the hell?

 

[Jon88]

'the hell?

Yeah, he is. It's obvious to people who pay attention to the way he acts and some of the things he's done.

 

[juck]

Fitz is the best in the NFL and I will say probably ever in the long run.Rice is the best yes,but not on the same skillset as this Fitz ever.

 

[theogt]

Yeah, he is. It's obvious to people who pay attention to the way he acts and some of the things he's done.

You can be pretty out there sometimes.

 

[Jon88]

You can be pretty out there sometimes.

I think he is. He just acts like it. Remember when he had Jamie Fox hanging out with him on Hard Knocks and Jamie was acting fruity, bending over in front of him? Remember the man purse he wore after one of his last press conferences as a Cowboy?
