Best Receiver To Never Win Super Bowl

[The Oldtimer]

Larry Fitzgerald is mine

Yep!!!

 

[dbldwn711]

You could have a pretty dominant offense of no ring superstars.

Marino QB
LT RB
Moss
Fitzgerald
Calvin Johnson WR
Tony Gonzalez TE

Who could beat that offense?

off the top of my head Barry Sanders in place of LT

 

[mr.hockey4242]

He went to 2 SBs. He was also on Harbaugh's Niners.

Yup.

Everyone talking about that Pats superbowl

And all I remember is the goddamn 49ers having goal to go and throwing it to Michael fucking Crabtree 4 times in a row when they have the GOAT available for a 3 yard jump ball.

Would be superbowl champions.

 

[LambeauLegs]

lmao get the fuck outta here, homer. hey, i loved Sterling, dude was awesome, he had great hands. But he's not even in the same zip code as some of the other fellas already mentioned in this thread.

Should Jerry Rice be on that list? Well Mr Sharpe was compared to him. If he was not hurt though he would not qulify for this list as he would have won one

He held the record for the most passes caught in season in NFL history breaking Art Monks record in 1984 the second year of his career.

It is best that you know more detail about someone before you say they do not qualify. Please take time to read this all. It is just to bad he got injured he could have been the greatest of all!


Why Sterling Sharpe Was an Injury Away from Being the Next Jerry Rice

Why Sterling Sharpe Was an Injury Away from Being the Next Jerry Rice

Sharpe started all 16 games his rookie season, catching 55 passes for 791 yards and a touchdown.

in his sophomore season, Sharpe became the best receiver in the NFL not named Jerry Rice. He set franchise records with 90 catches and 1,423 yards, and his 12 touchdowns were the second-highest total in the NFL.

Sharpe earned Pro Bowl honors in 1990, his third season, by catching 67 passes for 1,105 yards and six touchdowns. But he suffered through a disappointing 1991 campaign in which he failed to top 1,000 yards for the first time since his rookie season.

In 1992, a 23-year-old named Brett Favre was given the starting job at quarterback. After years of playing with mediocre quarterbacks such as Don Majkowski, Mike Tomczak, and Anthony Dilweg, Sharpe finally had a talented quarterback.

He responded with one of the greatest seasons by a wide receiver in NFL history.

He caught 108 passes for 1,461 yards and 13 touchdowns. Sharpe became just the sixth player to win the receiving Triple Crown—leading in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. His 107 receptions broke the single-season record of 106 set by Washington Redskins receiver Art Monk in 1984.

In 1993, Sharpe broke his own single-season reception record by hauling in 112 passes. He became the first receiver to top 100 receptions in consecutive seasons, and his 1,274 receiving yards and 11 scores ranked third in the league.

For the first time in Sharpe's career, the Packers advanced to the postseason, where they faced the Detroit Lions in the wild card round.

Sharpe turned in one of the most memorable performances in postseason history, catching five passes for 101 yards and three touchdowns. His third touchdown was a come-from-behind, game-winning 40-yard reception with just 55 seconds remaining—which made him just the ninth player to catch three touchdown passes in a single playoff game.

The Packers were eliminated the following week by the eventual Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys—despite a magnificent performance from Sharpe, who hauled in six passes for 128 yards and a touchdown.

In 1994, Sharpe concluded one of the greatest three-year stretches by a wide receiver in NFL history. He caught 94 passes for 1,119 yards and 18 touchdowns. His 18 touchdowns were the second-highest single-season total in NFL history.

Sharpe suffered a severe neck injury during the 1994 season and was forced to retire at age 29.

In his eight-year career, Sharpe played in all 112 games. He caught 595 passes for 8,134 yards and 65 touchdowns.

When he retired, only three NFL players averaged more receiving yards per game (72.6). Only eight players had more career receptions and touchdowns.

From 1992-94, Sharpe's average season looked like this: 105 receptions, 1,285 yards, and 14 touchdowns.

While Sharpe was blessed with Favre as his quarterback from 1992-94, Favre had yet to blossom into a superstar. In fact, in each of the three seasons following Sharpe's retirement, Favre earned the Most Valuable Player award.

Let's imagine that Sharpe had continued playing with Favre. He would have posted absolutely eye-popping receiving totals. He might have broken Jerry Rice's single-season records for receiving yards and touchdowns.

If he had duplicated his three-year totals from 1992-94, his career statistics would look like this: 909 receptions, 11,988 yards, and 107 touchdowns.

And he would still only be 32 years old!

Let's credit Sharpe with, at minimum, four more seasons at approximately 80 percent of his peak value, meaning that his average season from 1998-01 would look like this: 84 receptions, 1,028 yards, and 11 touchdowns.

His updated career statistics: 1,245 receptions, 16,100 yards, and 151 touchdowns.

He would rank second in NFL history in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.

It's difficult to project, but Sharpe may have even performed better. He may have played past age 36.

 

[The Q]

Who's your pick?


Larry Fitzgerald is mine

Its Randy moss and it’s not even close.

 

[The Q]

Yup.

And all I remember is the goddamn 49ers having goal to go and throwing it to Michael fucking Crabtree 4 times in a row when they have the GOAT available for a 3 yard jump ball.

Would be superbowl champions.

And the ravens getting away with multiple penalties on those passes.

If's.

Candy.
Nuts.
Merry Christmas.

 

[Dude]

Remember a comment Rodney Harrison said once, paraphrasing, “when you had Randy coming at you, you’re like a deer in the headlights. Then he runs by you like a deer, no way to catch up.”

 

[Montalban]

Who's your pick?


Larry Fitzgerald is mine

Steve Largent

 

[Ojb81]

Steve Largent

a white guy. of course.

 

[Montalban]

a white guy. of course.

That he is. But its a very good pick.

 

[Montalban]

Its Randy moss and it’s not even close.

That's a good pick. If I hadn't picked Largent I would have picked Moss.

 

[Ojb81]

That he is. But its a very good pick.

true, true. . .

 

[Nosferatu]

Well, Randy Moss is the greatest receiver of all time and he doesn't have a ring so...

 

[Nosferatu]

off the top of my head Barry Sanders in place of LT

Eric Dickerson in place of Sanders.

 

[broncosmitty]

Don Hutson.


There is no second place.

That's a lot of if's. If Randy Moss had Joe Montana and Steve Young throwing him the ball for 90% of his career people would say he's the greatest football player who ever lived. Hey, that was easy...

 

[Dude]

You also must factor in teams they played with. Both Randy and Larry had their chances and it’s a shame they don’t have a ring.

 

[LambeauLegs]

That's a lot of if's. If Randy Moss had Joe Montana and Steve Young throwing him the ball for 90% of his career people would say he's the greatest football player who ever lived. Hey, that was easy...

If he would have not injured his neck he would have won a Superbowl back when Favre was QB. He was one of the best ever even though he played only 8 years.

 

[dbldwn711]

Eric Dickerson in place of Sanders.

that’s really close. You may be right. I’d have to think about it a bit.
