the best wide out in NFL or history?
155885
It's gotta be Jerry Rice.  He pretty much had all the bases covered.  He owns pretty much every record (most by a RIDICULOUS amount), was integral in several Super Bowl victories, and on top of that he was a clutch player who always came through in desperate situations.  Aside from that he had a great work ethic and obvious loved the game, and oh yeah played it 20 years.

Wow, I think your list is a little bit biased towards current players, but there's no way Moss is the greatest of all time.....in fact, not even close. You said of all-time, right?\n\n1. Jerry Rice. He is generally regarded as the greatest wide receiver in NFL history and arguably the greatest player of all time. Rice was selected to the Pro Bowl 13 times in his 20 NFL seasons. He won three Super Bowl rings as a member of the San Francisco 49ers and was the MVP of the '88 game. He holds 12 NFL records including:\n\nReceptions (1,549) \nReceiving yards (22,895) \nTouchdown receptions (197) \nAll-purpose yards (23,540) \nTouchdowns (208) \n\n2. Lance Alworth. Alworth is considered by many to be the best wide receiver in all of professional football during the 1960s\n\n3. Fred Biletnikoff. Biletnikoff was known as a sure-handed receiver who made clutch catches to keep crucial drives alive. He had an uncanny ability to get open, even when everyone in the stadium knew that the ball was coming his way. Biletnikoff's career total of 589 receptions is relatively unimpressive by today's standards, but it was a remarkable achievement in the more run-oriented 60s and 70s, when the regular season was only 14 games long. The same can be said of his record of 10 straight seasons with 40 or more receptions.\n\n4. Don Hutson. Hutson was the first receiver to catch more than 50 passes in a season (1941) and to surpass 1,000 receiving yards (1942). In all, Hutson caught 488 passes for 7991 yards. Hutson was the top receiver in the league in nine seasons and 99 career touchdowns.\n\n5. Terrell Owens. As much as I can't stand this guy, there's no denying his talent and ability. If he ever decides to shut up & play, look out. He needs to get a Super Bowl Ring to move up on my chart..as do the others.\n\nRegarding Lynn Swann. Probably the most acrobatic WR of all time, he just didn't play long enough or ever have a 1,000 yard season to rate higher in my book, but I'd put him in the top 10 just on his play in Super Bowl X  \n\nHarrison, All Stats, great attitude, disappears in big games. Lots of TDs, but more of a possession receiver, not a deep threat (only 13.3 yds/per reception).\n\nMoss? All Stats, no rings, lousy attitude. Can play...when he wants to...and he may play himself out of the league...\n\nOne final thing....stats mean nothing, without a RING!

Larry Johnson, any guy to knock off Priest Holmes and take over the starting job has to be the best. Though he only has one season of great play under his belt, he is in line to get 2,400 yds and 25 tds this year alone. That would break one record, possibly two.

i say hines ward. he may not have the greatest stats, but that's because pittsburgh is a run-first team. if you watch him play, you'll see what i mean. i think antwaan randle el can also be considered. (If you need proof that randle el is great, just watch the games where pittsburgh played cleveland, cincy in the playoffs, and the super bowl).

Gotta be Ocho Cinco he is the greatest reciever of all time besides Jerry Rice

My Top 5 Running Backs of All Time\n\n1. Jim Brown - The toughest man ever to play football, hands down...he retired at the top of his game.\n\n2. Walter Payton - He is the best combination of speed and power ever. And the best player to play in the Super Bowl NOT to score.\n\n3. Barry Sanders - His quick change style made many highlight reels week in and week out. He could have easily had the all-time rushing record if he didn't retire too soon.\n\n4. Emmitt Smith - A warrior who was the backbone of the Dallas Cowboys in the 3 Superbowl wins of the 90s. \n\n5. Gale Sayers - One of the biggest gamebreakers of all time...a Hall of Famer although he only played in 5 NFL seasons.

Currently, Vinatieri is the best ... percentages don't always win games (right Vanderjagt!).\n\nI would have to say that either Morten Andersen or Ray Guy should be considered the best of all time.  For these guys to miss a FG would be like watching Jerry rice drop a lob pass from Joe Montana.  Guy and Andersen made kicking almost an artform in the NFL.

The number 80 tops my list but it isn't Largent...It's Rice.\nRice then Largent. I would put them as my top two.\n\nLargent had the work ethic and drive that just made him great. He didn't mind the dirty work and would take any assignment. Those are qualities that many recievers lack.

College football is rich with talented recievers right now. If I was a NFL GM and had to choose one, I'd go with Calvin Johnson without a doubt.

Walter Payton by far.  For the majority of his career, his line was sub-par and every team knew that he was going to get the ball and keyed on him.  I remember a game with the 49ers and the Bears and the first drive was WP left, WP right, WP up the middle over and over in that exact sequence until he scored a touchdown just as the first quarter ended.

Hines Ward...hands down!  He does it all: catching and blocking.  He's the complete WR.  GO STEELERS!

None other than Byron Leftwich. \nMatt Jones 6'6" 242 \nReggie Williams 6'4" 223\nJimmy Smith 6'1" 208\nMarcedes Lewis 6'6" 262\n We have the tallest and most talented wideouts in the league, yes matt jones and reggie williams will reach their ceiling potential this upcoming year and jimmy smith is one of the best wide receivers in the league, a hall of famer, quietly becoming the receptions leaders the past couple seasons.\nThe passing attack is now complete, the time for the colts has passed, they blew it, the time for a new beast in afc south has begun.

If you mean all time, I would have to say Barry Sanders.  In 1988, his junior year at Oklahoma State, he had 3250 total yardage with 2850 coming on the ground.  He had an astounding 44 TD's that season and won the Heisman before coming out of school to play for the Detroit Lions.\n\nWhile he only had 1 season as a starter, he was a backup to Buffalo Bills great Thurman Thomas his 1st two years at Okie St.\n\nIf you ever get a chance to watch his games on ESPN Classic, do it because he is clearly the best player on the field that entire season.

Definatly. I use to think that Priest Holmes was the best but he was injured and has never come back. But if you can sub for Holmes without missing a beat then you are definatly one of the best. What makes him the best is that he isnt on a strong team when Alexander was on one of the 3 best teams in football last year. If your looking at this year than you choose Johnson as the better runningback. Johnson just gained a great blocker in Kyle Turley. Alexander lost his best blocker. Johnson is the best runningback in the NFL. No if, ands, or buts about it.

probably fullback or linebacker.........

Overall, it's Torry Holt.  He has the numbers, the system and the dome to succeed.  Plus, the fact that he works hard so he maximizes his output doesn't hurt.\n\nTO could be the best, but his unwillingness to commit to a system (that INCLUDES not being an a-hole) will hamper his numbers in the long run.  If he focuses in Dallas, he has the potential (and that is a dirty word) to be the best ever.\n\nBoldin is  a great young talent, but Larry Fitzgerald is the man on that team.  Boldin is clearly the number 2 option.

Tough one...I'd go with Giants-Bills; Scott Norwood with one of the biggest chokes in sports history as his 47-yard FG sails wide right.\n\nIn second comes SF-CINCY.
