Larry Fitzgerald is another one thats overrated. And its all based on how the media perceives him. He's had his lil issues too, but its swept under the rug.
Fitz was never as dynamic as Prime TO.How they kept TO and Megatron off is insanity .
breh exactly even old ass T.O. on the bangles and bills was more of a big play threat of than prime fitz
prime T.O.
- T. O.'s R.A.C. (run after catch) ability was like he was a 6'3 230 pound running back (strength & elusiveness) with the ball in his hand's that so happened to ran route's like wide-receiver
- an excellent deep threat, a good vertical route runner with speed to get behind the defense on post & fly route's with the best of them
- good possession receiver skill set / could play in the slot/ had great toughness could go over the middle and play in between the numbers like a tight-end but with wide receiver agility/quickness
- one of the best red-zone target's in NFL history with ability to get open & make plays inside the 10 yard line has the second most receiving TD'S 49 inside the ten yard line in NFL history
- one the most explosive playmaker / best big play guy's in NFL history T.O. has 64 play's over 40 yard's / 240 play's over 20 yards
i don't think we have seen another receiver with elite Y.A.C. ability/ an elite big play guy / a elite redzone target,playmaker /and a possession receiver skill set with a big strong body Owens skill set in his prime was like having a superstar wide receiver a, dominant tight end, and an excellent slot receiver all in one player
T.O. has a career bulk Stat line of 1000+catches/15'000+ receiving yards/ 150+ receiving TD's I don't think we have even seen the next receiver able to put up those type of number a cross the broad for a career even with all the great receivers in the league now in a "pass happy era" with rule changes set up to help qb's & receivers put up big numbers it's mind boggling to think about it
so for me Terrell Owens is easily the greatest receiver outside of Jerry Rice and along with Moss based off of unique skill set and production with some good longevity
