Not pertinent to the discussion at hand. Jets suck. We all know that. Jets fans know that. I freely admit that . Bring something else to the discussion lol.

I think Warner and Tomlinson are pretty safe bets. I don't think voters considered Warner worthy of making it first ballot in 2015 and in 2016 he didn't get in because of Favre but he should make it this year. After those two it's definitely difficult to project and I could see TO, Jimmy Johnson, Jason Taylor, Terrell Davis, John Lynch, Alan Faneca, and maybe even Morten Anderson all having a shot for the final three spots.

Let's go B-Dawk!!
Kind of a long shot, but I'm hopeful. Just as happy if they make TO wait another year.

Barry would have had the rushing record if he played and not retired in his prime rather than hang on to the point of collapse like Emmitt. Faulk and LT were complete backs and could run and catch. Not to also talk about more explosive than Emmitt period.

Nice that you use your flawed eyes to determine who is better rather than using a multitude of factors. Just goes back to the homerism or impartiality of you as a fan of a specific team. Irvin is nowhere near top 5 not now not ever.

If Irvin did this and Irvin did that.... Blah blah blah go look at your own sig for that. Julio is faster, stronger, and better at catching the ball at the point of attack. Nice try though "pimp."

Dude I dont need a video to help make up my opinion like yourself. I watched Moss's whole career live. He rarely went over the middle and most knew it and it was part of his reputation. He quit on the Raiders period. Moss is one of my all time fav players but I can speak the truth. Hes a great great talent and a top 5 wideout so not sure why we are even arguing about Moss. Irvin is a top 5 wideout without question and nuthin you can say or show will change that. I form my own opinions. As for Emmitt, Emmitt was a do it all back and could catch just fine. He wasnt in a pass happy offense like Faulk so he didnt have as many reception but he could catch unlike Barry who was just an explosive back but lacked many qualities of most running backs. And you talk about me and my "ifs" what about your line "if Barry played longer he wouldve broke the records." Check my sig homie. Emmit top 3 back all time. Deal wit it. This dude goes by only numbers yet when it comes to Emmitt who has the greatest numbers, but he aint top 3 lmao!! Your so consistent lol. Got Em!!

Irvin was the protoype big physical that you see now and didn't play in a pass first offense and with the rules that benefit the receivers now. And his career was cut short due to injury.
Moss and Rice are the only ones on this list that were better than Irvin. And I don't care if you want to mention how many yards these other receivers have or had. Most if not all of those receivers played in an era that either benefited receivers with the new rules or played in pass first, West Coast type offenses or both.

Take care of my lightwork for me. Got Em!!

[rickah88]

Top ten lists....
All opinion with no compromise.

Even when he loses, Tom Brady still wins!
My guess, NFL HQ is going to suspend Foot Locker for the next 4 games.

Which is so absurd.

The fact of the matter is and always has been that Romo was going 8-8 on a team with no elite wide-outs, a godawful O-line, a beyond terrible defense, and a coach who had no time-management skills whatsoever, and used to regularly cost the team a victory or two every single year with ridiculous play-calls.

But somehow, someway, Romo was the reason those teams were bad.

Tom Brady himself could not have dragged those Cowboys teams to Superbowls, although he probably would have gone 9-7 instead of 8-8 to actually make the playoffs.

But then, being worse than Tom Brady is hardly an insult.

It was always amusing seeing sub-par receivers walk away from the Cowboys with a really good offer from another team, only to suck because they didn't have a Romo throwing to them.

[Tony208]

Broncos Cowboys 51-48 is Romo's career in a nutshell.

Owens might get hosed again. He's clearly a first ballot HOF'er but they're making him wait because they like to penalize players who don't have the best attitudes.

So where does Romo eventually end up? A lot of people seem to think Arizona.

As long as it's not with the NYJ, I couldn't care less.

If I were Romo either Arizona or Denver would probably be at the top of my list. Both are potential contenders with him at QB.

I agree!
Let me tell you, having Larry Fitzgerald on all my FF teams, it's become painfully obvious that Carson Palmer is done! His receivers make some of the most acrobatic catches on his off-target passes it's just amazing. Is there a stat for that? Because it would be interesting to see Palrmer's adjusted stats.
