I was surprised to see T.O make it that damn high. For goodness sake, put down the Kool Aid man.

C'mon, TO may be a drama queen pain in the ass but you simply can not deny his talent. Yeah he doesn't have the best hands but his numbers speak for themselves. Isn't he in the top 5 all time for TD's? First ballot Hall of Famer.

Moss should be 2, Largent 3 imo.. And I don't know why ppl always count Monk out? It's really mind boggling

Should point out that the list is "32 Great Receivers" not "32 Greatest Receivers" and so some have a reading comprehension issue. To argue against someone on the list, you'd have to argue that they weren't a great receiver. Which, in Swann's case, is likely true.

But yeah, Art Monk is one of the 32 greatest receivers of all time, and probably would be on the top half of such a list.

It's actually "Top 32 All-Time Receivers" if we're keeping score.

How about Randy moss, Raymond Berry, Steve Largent, etc. ahead of Monk who's not even listed. BULLSHIT list!! Monk was as good as Rice, he didn't have 2 HOF QB's throwing to him nor did he play twice against NO, Atlanta and The Rams (wow, what an amazing list of power teams during the 80's). I'm sick of all this moron's (writers who think they know everything). What would have Monk accomplished if he had Montana and Young throwing to him in a passing offense? The Redskins were primarily a running Offense. I'm sick of this BS lists.

Another BS list to generate web hits. Emphasis on recent players with inflated numbers. Credibility of the list goes to shit when Art Monk is left off.

How are these guys also left off:
Irving Fryar - about 13K yds, 84TDs, 5 Pro Bowls
Harold Carmichael - 6' 7" TD machine, about 9K yds, 79TDs, 4 Pro Bowls
Charlie Hennigan - #2 & #8 all-time Yds per Game / per season.....in the early 1960s, YPG/season #13 all-time, 5 Pro Bowls
Art Powell - 7 effective years playing, over 1000 yds/season 5 times....in the 1960s, 4 Pro Bowls

This list :vomit:

How is Charley Taylor ahead of Monk????Charley Taylor was a more dominant receiver in his era than Art Monk. He was a top 5 receiver all-time IMO. He played before the illegal contact rules went into effect in the late 70s.

Sorry SFRedskin. As much as I love Monk he simply was not the WR Jerry Rice was. He had monster games with Steve Bono and Rich Gannon throwing him the ball. Hard to argue that Rice simply was the best wr of all time.
