Even if he never played another game, he would still be the best. He is unstoppable

 

Yeah, but Jerry Rice was unstoppable for 20 years.

Best WR I've ever seen, and a good guy to root for. 

 

Detroit, despite a lot of losing over the past 3 decades, actually has had the fortune of watching some truly elite talents....Billy Sims, Barry Sanders, Herman Moore, Megatron....

 

Jim Arnold ..... :whistling:

 

 

 

just givin ya a little dig with that last one, D6

 

 

TMD,   good recall on your part regarding Jim Arnold.    Most NFL fans probably forgot about Arnold,   though he might be remembered by some SEC fans from his days at Vanderbilt..  There have been many seasons that I wish the Jim Arnold in his prime was the Lions punter.      While K Jason Hanson would have fit the final piece of the puzzle of the list of names you provided,    Arnold was a two time Pro Bowl player.

As great of a WR Calvin Johnson is,    the longevity that Jerry Rice displayed at the level he played at,   could easily be the longevity measuring stick for WR's for many generations to come.      While I would take Calvin Johnson in his prime over any WR that I've ever seen,      it's going to be quite a task ahead for Megatron to perform at Rice's level when he reaches 40.     That's even assuming Calvin Johnson continues to play that long.

I understand.


Even with that in account, CJ is still the best ever to play WR.

It's the MJ/LeBron argument, different eras are hard to compare.
