TO has always been an attention whore, nothing new here..
100% agreed. .
Watching these guys in real time, Marv was a great player but most people didn't think he was better than TO. In that era it was Moss and TO and everybody else...
This is where I disagree. It was Moss, TO, Marvin, Torry ****. Marvin was dominant. He has more 100 catch seasons, more 1500 yd seasons, more all pro selections. He wasnt the monster that TO was after the catch, but he was a far superior route runner(arguably the GOAT route runner) and had WAY better hands.
So putting a guy from TO's era ahead of him (Harrison) who most people didn't actually think was better in real time, is an egregious error to me...
Its disrespectful to say that. Marv had 8 all pro selections, TO only has 5. So if Marv has 8 all pro selections and Moss and TO have 4 and 5, how were they considered better? td celebrations? Because they were more physically imposing? Marvin dominated by himself, then still got his when the offense became more balanced. Marvin was a one man show til 03. The Colts No.2s were below average till Wayne emerged in 03 and they drafted Dallas Clark.
Fitzgerald is another questionable one, for the fact that while is longevity as an elite player was great, I'm not sure he was better than Owens at his very best. It's harder to compare them directly since he came along at the end of TO's career...
Terrell Owens is probably the 2nd best receiver I've ever seen. Fitzgerald may not even be the best in his own era, in real time plenty of people thought Megatron was better. Obviously Megatron doesnt have the longevity to make a list such as this, but my larger point stands...
