8 time first team all pro
lead the league in TD receptions 9 times in his 11 year career
lead the league in receiving yards 7 times
lead the league in receptions 8 times
Still holds many NFL records
Even lead the league in interceptions one year
If you compare what he did in his day to any receiver in the history of the game during their day Hutson would be #1.
The question for me is the competition he played and how good would his athleticism, speed, and ablities carry him these days. Mediocre at best? No doubt he was great but it is hard comparing players from way back in the day to now.
WLK and I are talking trade so I am going to take a few minutes.
Nos trades John Hannah and 11th

This is exactly how you SHOULDNT think when voting. Why are we doing an all time draft if we are going to penalize players for when they played, why didn't we just do a current draft using this format?

Yeah but we are also supposed to judge them based off how they would perform against these teams.
You were saying you couldn't find anyone who did what he did. But he didn't do it being guarded by the Woodson combo, with Jared Allen coming off the edge. These guys are all in this evaluation as well.
Your comment about no one else doing seems to imply that Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson etc..
Were not on his level.
People shouldn't be penalized for when they played. But this is about the ability to go up against the best of the best.
Clark is OTC and has been pm'd. WLK is on deck and has been texted.
Who cares what Rice, Moss or Calvin would have done that's not reality. Reality is Hutson was the most dominating receiver of all time, he has many records that still stand today. If you are going to knock players down who played in years past why the hell did we do an all time draft?
You simply cant look at this the way you seem to be, if that's the case Fran Tarkenton is a joke and you wouldn't beat anyone with him as your QB against the defenses we have put together. Enjoy your 12th place finish ol' buddy...
Already picked chad Johnson bengals I should be up again soon
