Football Is Larry Fitzgerald the best WR in the NFL? - Page 3

Hootie · 01-11-2009, 03:25 PM

They are posing this question on CBS pregame...

I say most definitely.

Larry Fitzgerald has such amazing body control...I wouldn't take anyone over Fitz...he plays the game how it should be played, and he's a freak.

I think its Fitz and Johnson, but what about Reggie Wayne? No one's mentioned him yet. And the of course you have Moss, Steve Smith, Marshall, Boldin, and then guys like Jennings, Welker, Roddy White, Owens, Santana Moss, even Calvin and D Bowe.

Huard bullshit that is usually totally untrue...

If the question is who would I rather have on the Chiefs, then it's definitely Fitzgerald. If you asked me who was the best, it'd probably be Moss. I don't think there's another WR who makes his QB better like Moss does. He pretty much revived both Cunningham and Jeff George's career, made Culpepper an MVP candidate, and definitely helped Cassel get himself a nice paycheck somewhere next year.

See, this is a great point.

I'd definitely love to have Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald on the Chiefs...Moss is a little too old now...but these three guys are definitely top tier...with Owens taking a step back this year, IMO.

No offense or anything but Dwyane Bowe can't even sniff Calvin Johnson right now.

tk13 · 01-11-2009, 04:02 PM

Yeah, Calvin Johnson will be in there too. That guy is a freak. Fitzgerald has better hands though.

Oh, yeah...didn't even think about him. He has Randy Moss big play potential...with a better head on his shoulders.

Hopefully that organization straightens out for his sake.

Truth.

Bowe needs to work on his hands...I think that's easily fixable and I also think Bowe has the desire to improve, which is a plus.

Moss runs a good deep route and is a great candidate for the endzone fade route. I'd give him a 9.5/10 on those things, but about a 3/10 on all the other things that wide receiver's do.

suds79 · 01-11-2009, 04:10 PM

Just my personal opinion.

# 1 - Larry Fitzgerald
# 2 - Andre Johnson
# 3 - Steve Smith

and not too far behind ... Calvin Johnson. I think he has the tools to be the best in a year or two.

Too bad he plays for a shit team.

9.5 is pretty leniant. I'd give him a 12. He may be the best deep threat WR in the history of the NFL.

Mr. Laz · 01-11-2009, 04:20 PM

so hard to judge.....

best body control
best hands
not the best speed
not the quickest

some could say he wouldn't have to make all those outstanding catches if he was faster.

he's definitely one of the best

I'm a little curious to see what he'd do with a real QB behind center, but he may never get that chance. Kind of amazing that he's basically a 1000-yard receiver twice now, despite getting passes from Croyle, Huard and Thigpen, and with no outside threat opposite him.

Year 3 should be interesting.

gonzo helps, but you're right.

His attitude should not matter. HE's asking about the WR, not the person.

I think Fitz is probably the best right now though. He can do it all.
