Who's the best WR in football?

[Gooch1034]

Calvin Johnson sucks so bad, defenses just need 2 guys to cover him now.

 

[Judge Fudge]

I love me some 'tron

But Juilo Jones

 

[GNG]

Jordy Nelson.

Not sure you can make the case. Stats wise while being consistently top-10 he has never really been top-3 in most every category. He did finish 2nd in touchdowns last year to Dez but that is about it. So while I do think Jordy is comfortably in the top-7 WR's in the NFL I just can't see anybody objectively considering him the top guy.

last year Jordy Nelson was tied for 2nd in Tds, 4th in receiving yards, 5th in yards per game, and 7th in receptions. He made a lot of circus catches , that was his biggest asset is that he caught a lot of tough hard fought balls. He's not top three but I've always considered him top five. He's a much better athlete than people give him credit considering his size and speed.

Like I said I view him as that top-5 to 7 range. I love that Jordy has gotten where he is. I actually knew him in college as I knew his wife's sister and so Jordy and his wife would come over every once in a while and hang out. Very good man. Love that a good guy has found such production. Just this poll was for best in football and I just don't think he is there.

I see this is the 'Shit on every Pats player in order to over glorify Brady' segment of our program

...but, there's not one Pats WR on the entire list. What happened to Brady having so many weapons? Apparently he doesn't even have one weapon.

I would consider A. Brown, Julio Jones and Gronk the best 3 "weapons" for a QB.

Gronk's not on the list.

It used to be a battle between CJ and Fitz but right now.....I'd say it's Antonio Brown.

 

[DJ]

Amari Cooper will be the best WR soon.

 

[broncosmitty]

Imo Alshon Jeffrey is the best receiver there is. He has Cutler for a QB, so nobody realizes it.

 

[broncosmitty]

Through the 2011-2013 seasons, Calvin was 1st, 1st, and 3rd.

Are those his ranks in drops?

Maybe he was only first in that category once, I forget. But he's a perennial contender. And on the downhill slide....

 

[broncosmitty]

Id also take Dez over Brown.

Oh I definitely agree. All Georgia Tech WRs seem to have that issue. That's always been the one hole in Calvin's game.

Didn't he have a bum finger the year he had so many drops?

He has got to stay on the field though to show that. He seems to have some kind of nagging injury at all times. He does a decent job to play through it usually but just seems like he is always nicked up keeping him from always being that top guy.

If he wasn't such a damn headcase, I'd agree. Dez is starting to enter TO territory.

 

[Jakology]

He's always had issues with dropped passes. Going all the way back to his Georgia Tech days. Still the most talented player to ever play WR though.

Yeah but he had 1 specifically bad year if I remember right.

2014 was the year he played with the bum hand.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

by drop% its danny amendola.

40 catchable balls, 0 drops.

leads the nfl.

God you fuckers just can't resist... Good lord. We're talking about Antonio Brown sweetheart!

Health has definitely slowed him some.

But He may have the best hands I've ever seen.
