I dont even know how you rank the WRs in a meaningful way. Holt was a key part of one of the most famous offenses of all time but also had to carry the Rams when they were mediocre. Hines Ward's style of play is something some fans love but its not exactly the image of the NFL today. Steve Smith seems like a major trash talker and also had to carry some lackluster QBs but he was pretty much always open until he was always doubled. Wayne seems like a Hall of Very Good member.I think Leroy Butler is another guy that was ridiculously underrated. Not sure if he gets in now but he should very soon.
I would put Andre above Ward, even Holt but Holt is likely the WR to get in
Holt has a ring, more TDs, while Johnson had 800+ more yards playing in 20 more games.I think Leroy Butler is another guy that was ridiculously underrated. Not sure if he gets in now but he should very soon.

Holt definitely had a better career than Johnson. He came into the league as a key piece on a SB team. And yeah, he was awesome.Holt has a ring, more TDs, while Johnson had 800+ more yards playing in 20 more games.
Holt also had a record 6 consecutive 1300+ seasons, while having two 1,600+ seasons. While Johnson doesn't have any.
Holt has had more consecutive 1000 yard seasons than Johnson has had in his career.
I agree Holt had the better qb, Holt also had to share the ball, Faulk got most of the target and touches and targets went to Bruce.Holt definitely had a better career than Johnson. He came into the league as a key piece on a SB team. And yeah, he was awesome.
Andre Johnson came into the league on an expansion team. The year before Johnson was on the Texans, Carr was sacked 76 times in a season and on 14.6% of his dropbacks. Carr was Johnson's QB for the first four years and Carr led the league in sacks again in two of those seasons. Carr started 75 games and threw 59 TDs and 65 INTs. Johnson's next QB was Matt Shaub who was probably on par with Marc Bulger.
So to compare their careers, one got Kurt Warner and some other guy. One got David Carr and some other guy.
Honestly, I think Holt has a better case for being in the HOF than Kurt Warner does but that kinda is what it is. Warner benefited from those 2 great WRs basically canceling each other out.I agree Holt had the better qb, Holt also had to share the ball, Faulk got most of the target and touches and targets went to Bruce.
No Dick Vermeil still? Bullshit.
