WR Corp

[combatbengal]

I'm a Bengal fan all the way so I'm going with the Bengals. Who do you think has the best WR corp in the NFL?

[Ickey44]

Honestly, I love the receivers we have here, but I think the Colts have the best receiving corps in the league. They caught 49 TD's last year for crying out loud. The Lions (on paper) have a good corps, too.

[DontTakeAkili]

I know it's based a lot on POTENTIAL, but I think the Lions have to have the best receivers overall. I mean, thre top 15 picks in 3 years?? The SHOULD have the best. I would also add the Raiders, Bengals and Cardinals to the Colts as possibilities.

1). Colts - Is there even a good argument against it?

2). Raiders - Randy Moss, Jerry Porter, Ronald Curry...that's all you need

3). Bengals - Only if Warrick is 100%, if not then they drop

And quite frankly.......that's all you need.

[7/11]

1 colts- harrison, wayne, stokley

2 raiders- moss, curry, porter

3 rams- holt, bruce, curtis

4 packers- walker, driver, ferguson

5 bengals- chad, tj, warrick

6 cardinals- fitzgerald, johnson, boldin

7 lions- williams, williams, rogers

reason i have lions low is b/c roy is the only reciever that's really even played. curtis for st. louie is underrated and probably better than the colts' stokley. harrison and wayne are the best tandem in the league though. walker and driver are both top-tier talents, in my opinion and ferguson is pretty decent. porter and moss is very formidable and curry is a rising talent. fitz and anquan need another year under their belts to justify the expectations, which i think they'll do if old man warner can stay on his feet.

for the stripes...chad is undeniably a top-5 wr and warrick is still kind of a "?", but has the talent to be a dangerous slot reciever, so long as tj proves he can maintain his performance as the #2. he's really only had one good year and has more work to do to convince some that he's got the skiznills.

we have the best 4/5-wr's that i know of in the league, though. havin kelley and chris henry as the 4 and 5 puts me at ease. we do have a great corps. with a whole lot of potential. i think those guys will be a constant bright spot for us this year and after...

Nobody mentioned th Vikings. If they protect the QB, they can put up some numbers, just like the Bengals. I just hope Palmer wakes up and starts throwing the ball like he can.

[ArmyBengal]

OK, if we are going to make the argument of what's on paper, you have to include the Saints with Horn, Stallworth, Hakim, and Henderson as well. They have a lot of speed to go around. I never thought much of Brooks as a QB though.

WHODEY !!!

Yeah, Cliff Russell is fast too...how's that one work out? Horn is good, Stallworth has plenty of potential...just a lot of potential beyond Horn.

As far as Brooks, he's Michael Vick minus the running and game-breaking abilities.

I'm not sure I'd mention the Vikings....Burleson, Robinson, Taylor and Williamson....I mean the first three are all fairly decent but nothing too special, and Williamson hasn't done anything yet.

[Ickey44]

Quite frankly, the only of our receivers to do anything is Chad. But there are plenty of people on this board touting the Bengals receiving corps as the best in the league.

T.J. has had one good year, so has Warrick. Beyond that, we have no proven receivers. We have a lot of talent, though.

[bengalboomer7]

How does Green Bay have better recievers I think the colts Wr's are the best but are way overrated too. Remember in Varsity Blues where the black RB is bitching to Moxon cause Kilmer never lets him score and always lets "Lance" run a sweep or throw a TD(I gotta stop watching so much TV.). Well, that the colts to me. They are one of the only teams I can think of that would throw it three times from the one, so I think Peyton's numbers are purposely inflated. I don't want to start an argument I think Manning is great, but they purposely run their offense like that and his numbers inflate a bit.

I think you're right about both teams, except that Marvin Harrison truly is one of the top 3 in the league. With Harrison drawing doubles and Peyton throwing, I can't understand why it took them so long to develop legit 2 and 3 receivers. It seems that Wayne is now pretty good for a 2 and Stokeley for a 3, but not studs.

Green Bay? Hmmm...Walker is probably in the top half for a 1, and Driver in the top half for a 2, so I'd say GB has better than average receivers, but not great.

I'd have to say the best receiving corps, at the end of the year, will be between Cinci, Oakland, Indy, and Arizona. St Louis I think is getting old, and not that good on grass. NO is a joke; Hakim was only good with the Rams, Horn is overrated, Stallworth isn't particularly good, and Brooks can't get them the ball accurately anyway. Detroit might have a chance if they had a QB worth anything, although the sooner they get Garcia in there the better for them.

Never said they were the best WR's in the league, but when looked at on paper (like my post stated), they look very strong. Agree about the whole potential thing, but if we are throwing out WR's in terms of potential, Detroit is not a consideration either.

WHODEY !!!

[Jet23]

Here's a twist. How about best All-time receiving duos.

Branch - Biletnikoff

Rice - T.O.

Rice - Taylor

Bruce - Holt

Moss - Carter

Monk - Clark

And my personal fav.

Lofton - Jefferson

As far as Brooks, he's Michael Vick's cousin.

And he threw for over 300 yds and ran for 100 yds in one game.

Aaron Brooks has to be one of the least intelligent quarterbacks I've seen in a while. All you have to do is watch his games from last year. If there's a way to lose the game, you can be sure he'll find it. He puts up good numbers, but he makes one or two bone-headed plays that cost his team every game. I think he has ADHD.
