Wes Chandler.

You're literally naming guys who were behind the WRs the thread is about on the depth chart and never in their entire career came close to their production. Eric Martin is garbage. Devery Henderson was an average #2 WR or a very good #3 WR. Lance Moore was a decent WR and nothing more. Ridiculous.

It's like saying "well sure Michael Irvin was really good but Alvin Harper was the deep threat on that team and we need a deep threat, so we would want him!". Of course not. You want Michael Irvin, because he's a much better player and provides more value to the team. In 10 years you people are going to be like "I'd rather have Ted Ginn than Michael Thomas because Ginn had speed!!!111". It's amazing how quickly some have forgot just how good Horn and Colston were.

Horn and Colston were the best WRs we've ever had. It's not close. Not even close to close. If you are ranking these WRs 1-10, Colston and Horn were like 9s and the guys you're naming were 5s and 6s.

You guys don't have to invent terrible arguments just to be different.

Martin is garbage? Both harsh and untrue. He was a converted RB who was a very physical WR with great hands and while he didn't have straight line speed he was quick for his size. That said he probably would struggle in today's NFL with OPI as he pushed off alot....Devery was also a converted RB, and had blazing speed, if he would have had better hands and route running skills he would have been great. But he played his role well in SP's offense.

I remember watching Wes Chandler play, he would have done just fine in SP's offense IMO....

Agreed on Horn and Colston and it's not even close.
