Joe Posnanski's Top 32 All-Time Receivers

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.

Agreed and you can't dismiss Moss or Berry either

I've watched every game played by Rice here in SF and Monk, Rice was faster and played in a weak ass division accumulating stats especially against NO and Atlanta. To me (u can call me a homer) Rice was no better than Monk. I bet Monk had better stats against the 49ers than Rice had against the skins. Monk never whined "give me the ball" and throw tantrums like Rice used to do. Rice reminds me of Harold Jackson (Rams) great player, fast.

OK, so I should warn you up front that 32 can be a constricting number. There are a LOT of great receivers who did not make this list — John Mackey, Tommy McDonald, Tom Fears, Charlie Sanders, Charlie Joyner, Jimmy Smith, Rod Smith, Wes Chandler, Harold Jackson, Henry Ellard, Lionel Taylor, Rod Smith, Chad Ochocinco and Art Monk just to name a few. You can certainly take some guys off and put others on. You can certainly mess with the order.

But, I think you will find that 32 is not an especially large number when you’re choosing great receivers … there have been more awesome receivers than awesome running backs, for instance. Anyway, the list is the list … it’s all for entertainment purposes.

If the OP linked to a bunch of pictures instead of an actual article, that would explain a reading comprehension issue ;)

My apologies for the faulty assumption.

Lame list overall.

Must agree as several better WR's left off his list, the most glaring imho is Jimmy Orr.

Also consider two Redskins did make the list: Charlie Taylor and Bobby Mitchell. So it's unlikely that he'd throw a third on there.


Don't we consider Monk superior to Taylor and Mitchell? :/
