Steins Gate Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 1 minute ago, BayRaider said: Jerry Rice is the best route runner of all time and best with yards after catch of all time. He is a complete abnormal that rarely ever happens. Plus Rice had 3 QBs, all three were Top 2 QBs while he played with them (Montana, Young, Gannon) and they all got him the ball so he can get his YAC. My point is that you don't have to be a physical specimen to be effective. Route running, hands, body control, and awareness to track the ball in the air are the most important aspects to being a WR. Lamb has those. Jeudy has those too but I question his hands in clutch moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is basically 75% Antonio Brown 25% Amari Cooper skillset, but without the speed of either of those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitty 2.0 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Here is my pick at WR laviska shenault. He excels at everything the Raiders offense wants the WRs to do. He also plays QB in short yards situations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, I think Jerry Rice is the best player to ever play football. He’s always been my #1. And I’d have Taylor as my #2, and Barry/Jim Brown after that. 5/6/7 would be Tom, Peyton, and Montana in no order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry would be fine. https://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/993810 Quote Interestingly though, the only receivers to run official times of 4.65 or slower and have NFL success since 1999 are Boldin and Tampa Bay Buccaneers one-year-wonder Michael Clayton.

Bitty 2.0 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 People have to understand back when Jerry Rice was playing college they didn’t train for the combine. They ran the 40 out of their football stance. With that being said with modern training he’s a 4.3 guy all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Does Jeudy play like a dog? all 3 of our first round picks play like some alpha dogs. I don't want someone soft like Amari Cooper 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
