5-star WR Calvin Russell commits to [checks notes] Syracuse? For real, though... Syracuse

[Telituesday]

Probably fair to say if you were drafting one knowing how they turned out you’d take those guys before Randy. But Randy at his best/ in seasons he was happy was clearly better than at least Andre

I agree. He was the most dominant at his peak including Rice.

 

[Cane Fan 4 Life]

To me, it’s Jerry Rice, Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Marvin Harrison, Andre Johnson and then a huge gap.

Andre had some of the worst QBs throwing him the ball too.

 

[Manfred_Cane]

Randy Moss was the best vertical receiver ever and the best go-up-and-get-it receiver ever.

He was also a distraction everywhere he went, had zero physicality, gave you nothing over the middle and nothing after the catch unless he had a clear runway

Give me guys with 95% of his talent, more complete games, and zero BS. There’s a reason nobody was trading Calvin, Fitz and Andre.

This is the most disrespectful **** I've ever seen about Randy Moss lmao

Randy Moss was dominant at what he did but he had holes in his game and was immature. The rest of the guys (TO, Antonio Brown) had severe emotional problems.

If you get traded multiple times in your prime, you don’t qualify for the top group IMO.

No 88?

 

[Brooklyndee]

This is the dumbest argument I’ve ever seen anyone try to make about football.

It's not that it's dumb. It's just nowhere near accurate. I'll agree wholeheartedly Randy was definitely immature to an extent he was a prima donna. But to say he had no physicality was was worthless across the middle and nothing after the catch it's a little bit crazy to me can't really mention Jerry Rice who is the king of catching the ball and going down to avoid contact literally made it an art form that receivers to this day still patent. So it's a little bit crazy. The biggest problem is this constant thinking Randy was being traded over and over because the team was the one on board with that. Randy off the field forced that situation he wanted out of Minnesota he wanted out of LA it was well documented. If you think teams are just going to randomly trade that receiver just for the **** of it I'm sorry but you're a little misinformed.

 

[Brooklyndee]

No 88?

That was a little while to me too. As to me Mike is probably our most well-rounded receiver we've ever put out and he was virtually unstoppable on a loaded team that's one that fits the criteria of never being traded

 

[Confidence1000]

Jerry Rice was the bane of my existence over those other guys as a Bear fan and season ticket holder throughout the 80s-now.
At times the Bears kept the other two in check but Rice always crushed our souls.

As another Bear fan I agree with u brother

 

[TakeitinDiaz]

THIS is the scariest WR that has ever played the game

I don’t know. I bet a few people would argue Rae carruth as the scariest wr

 

[Elmer Leghorn]

Larry Fitzgerald and Marvin Harrison better than Moss???!! D$, you are insane. Moss is the best ever. I'd take TO over Harrison and Fitzgerald. If Cam Ward was a diva, would you want Ken Dorsey over him?

 

[Jassid82]

Yep..when DMoney is apart of a derailment of a thread of this magnitude then I absolutely believe we are not getting Russell. lol. Carry on. I’ll check back in a month or so.

 

[Reyrey]

Not having moss in your top 5 is nasty work. Must be larger agendas at work here.

 

[fatnasty187]

I don’t know. I bet a few people would argue Rae carruth as the scariest wr

Only if you happen to be pregnant.

 

[canecrazy23]

In terms of hardest covers, I agree with @Brooklyndee it’s Randy Moss, than everyone else by a wiiiide margin with a bit of a cluster at 2-6ish.

Something like this.

1. Randy Moss




2-6.Calvin Johnson, Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens, Larry Fitzgerald, Marvin Harrison, Andre Johnson.

Man I wish Yatil Green wouldn't have gotten hurt. Him and Marino would have done damage.

 

[Damiencane86]

From an overall historical accomplishment perspective Rice gotta be # 1. Body of work and plays in biggest games during a more physical era. The only argument is for whose # 2 and beyond.

 

[DC3]

How about Calvin Russell? Do you guys think he is any good?

Sorry, but as an off-season thread derailer myself, I had to interject.

You like him more as a 2 guard or a 3 for Miami? I'd be hopeful he could eventually play a role like Nuk Hopkins did for Clemson

 

[DMoney]

Cam Ward has elite intangibles. That’s part of what makes him what he is.

You mentioned TO. Why did so many teams get rid of him in his prime?

 

[kccanefan]

I'd rank the top 3 as

1) Rice
2) Moss - barely over Calvin
3) Calvin

 

[Elmer Leghorn]

Cam Ward has elite intangibles. That’s part of what makes him what he is.

TO was a headcase, no doubt. He was also elite on the field. I'm talking about skills. I'd put up with TO if he helped get a superbowl. From a pure skill standpoint, there aren't many better.

if Cam didn't have elite intangibles, you would still want him for his play on the field.
