You're right. Somebody does have to catch the ball. Which makes it even more amazing, considering he gets double/triple teamed almost 90% of the time. And what does losing 16 games have to do with passing all the time? It's not like the Lions go in to every game down by 2 touchdowns. If Detroit had any sort of defense, they would have won just as many games as the Chiefs this year. No matter the record, a great player still deserves the recognition. Not only Calvin, but the rookie Kevin Smith had a fantastic year too. The Lions should be decent next year.

Yes, hands down. Ward for the Steelers is a close second.

I think he would be now but not based on his physical gifts, which I think are far below a TO or Mandy Ross.

Nein, he's amazing at what matters.

He catches the ****ing football. ALWAYS. Single or double covered. Zone or man. He comes down with the ball...

:spock:

I like hines ward, but he's MAYBE some part in the second half of the top ten. I guess, if forced, I'd put it something like this:

1) andre johnson
2) larry fitzgerald
3) randy moss
4) steve smith
5) terrell owens
6) anquan boldin
7) charles johnson
8) reggie wayne
9) torry holt
10) hines ward (although the homer in me wants to put bowe here)

Moss doesn't belong in the top 10.

If we're talking physical gifts, talent, sure. But everyone else on that list blocks, catches, and cares...

Uh who the hell is Charles Johnson.....Do you mean Calvin Johnson up in Detroit?

1. Andre Johnson
2. Larry Fitzgerald
3. Calvin Johnson
4. Hines Ward
5. Steve Smith

Andre Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald are a cut above the rest right at this time. What Fitzgerald is doing in the playoffs is remarkable. Calvin Johnson had an amazing year considering the offense he played on so he may become the league's best in the next two years. Nobody brings more intangables to the WR position than Hines Ward. Steve Smith is a big playmaker, but such a head case I'm not sure he belongs on the top 5.

The way he is developing I expect to see DBowe in the top 5 in two years.

where the hell is Sammy Parker & Freddia Mitchell?

no. I mean the retired WR who played with the eagles and steelers.

ha. no, it was calvin. whoops, thank you.

the dude will go down as one of the best WR of alltime. if tom brady gets healed up and they have a few more great years of production, he MAY go down as GOAT. as such, blocking/caring aside, he HAS to be on the list.

When playing hard I never seen anyone dominate games like randy moss. No doubt hall of famer.

Housh?

****, I left chad johnson off as well.

there are a LOT of good WRs in the league.

When it's all said & done he will go down as the 2nd best of all time. Hell he may be that now.

Sorry but Holt is officially off this list. Even last year this might have made sense. Bowe DOES belong on here before him. Also, is that calvin or chad johnson that you meant instead of charles:)
