those guys are elite recievers on any team with a decent qb and a system that actually involves the WR in the game.

my list was based on raw talent and ability as a 1 on 1 receiver, while including players who were active in 2011

i dont care for guys racking up yards just because the system is dedicated to passing with an elite qb (wes welker, jordy nelson) or guys racking up yards because the team has no other receiver available (nate washington)

most guys here dont have kenny britt on their list yet he is 1 on 1 one of the most dangerous receivers in the NFL , in fact even if hes doubled hes dangerous.

he made hasselbeck look good in the beginning of the year , those are the players who belong on the list... the ones who make a qb look better not the ones who a qb makes look better.

guys like malcolm floyd who has to make all his catches by jumping over triple coverage when phillip rivers shotputs a ball into the endzone with no regard for coverage and sheer prayer that a guy as good as him will come down with the ball, which he somehow does.

**dlunc3** · 01-05-12, 09:06 AM

i know i will sound like a homer here, and maybe i am... but to put put plax over a guy like maclin is crazy to me. You have harvin at #8 on the list, but maclin not at all?

i agree with your assessment of welker and nelson

yeah maclin is damn good, so is dwayne bowe..

i guess maybe plax and sydney are 2 in the list that didnt quite prove enough this year

so looking back now i agree with your criticism and id probably add maclin or bowe to that list

**dlunc3** · 01-05-12, 09:16 AM

yea didnt realize you missed bowe... yea id prob put him and maclin in over plax and floyd... other then that, I like the list

**killakam** · 01-05-12, 02:49 PM

vincent jackson should not be on there. he's overrated. what that size he should do better. crabtree should not be in the top 20. agreed with top 3 three, though

**SportsPedagogy** · 01-05-12, 03:23 PM

Dez Bryant and miles Austin are not even the best recievers on Dallas. Laurant Robinson is way more efficent. Dez Bryant is Lazy and has weak conditioning that causes him to tire out late in games, Miles Austin drops alot of big passes, Robinson always seems to come through.

**Bcatswin** · 01-05-12, 03:38 PM

AJ Green should be way higher than that although i no its only been 1 year. Harvin and Nicks in front of his is laughable. Even V Jack.

How hard was it to come up with a list like this? By the way where is Andre Johnson?

What does he do???

Revis punks this guy every time the Jets play Pats...

He benefits from Brady and the System...

1. if you put him on the browns he'd probably do better than in NE..Colt McCoy has a weak arm and thrives in those short dumps and mid slot passes. Hence why Greg Little can't get opened up because he's catching all dink and dunk crap and McCoy doesn't have the arm to utilize his size and hands downfield. With Welker's ability to produce YAC I bet in Cleveland he'd have more receptions and yards out of the slot w/Cribbs and Little running outside.

2. Revis got burned by Welker on a good couple moves in their matchups this year...game 1: 6 receptions, 46 yards in a dominating win. Game 2: 5 receptions, 124 yards in a relatively close win. He's been beatable within his own division and even by some better receivers outside the division. Look at Stevie Johnson's numbers and Marshall's numbers against him. Dez Bryant also put up some numbers. Some of the only more elite guys he shut down were Vincent Jackson and Hakeem Nicks and Nicks might have been because Eli just chose to throw to Cruz who's a better WR than Nicks anyway IMO

**iifold** · 01-08-12, 04:36 PM

Today we saw why Nicks is ranked ahead of Victor Cruz, Julio Jones, and R.White...

**ProPicker713** · 01-08-12, 04:38 PM

Victor Cruz should be in the top 5 .

**dlunc3** · 01-08-12, 04:39 PM

what did aj green prove yesterday about being in your top 10 then?

Kid on Denver Thomas might actually be top 5 but Tebow is just that bad.

**iifold** · 01-08-12, 05:54 PM

Britt and Thomas will be on this list next year...

nicks has no business being ranked ahead of roddy white, and the gap between him and cruz should be slim or none at all

**neverstoppers23** · 01-10-12, 05:11 PM

don't like that you have harvin over jennings. i think sometimes we forget how great a talent jennings is because of rodgers talent.

**BoutDemCowboys** · 01-10-12, 05:17 PM

Obviously no matter what order you put them in or choose someone wont be happy. But as a disgruntled Cowboys fan I'd have to say Dez is wayyyyyyy too high. He may have the talent, and the size and everything working for him, but he hasnt really lived up to his expectations YET. Im gonna emphasize YET cause this dude is a beast no doubt.

Cheers!

**Goat Milk** · 01-10-12, 07:14 PM

cruz is better than nicks

You guys need to stop being so results based...

Brandon Lloyd is better than Cruz...

Lloyd has always had to be the "#1" on bad teams or with bad QB's while Cruz gets to be the slot guy on a team with other good receivers...

If you put Brandon Lloyd on the Giants and let him run free in the slot, the way he runs routes and makes great catches, you guys would be saying the same thing about him...

Cruz is a solid receiver, but lets be real here...

There is a reason he came out of "nowhere"...

Same example in Dallas. Laurent Robinson may seem like the better Reciever, but by no means is he at all. He is just surrounded by better recievers that get covered by better players and Robinson is usually found un-accounted for.

**GunShard** · 01-10-12, 07:51 PM

Welker is missing.

You really think Welker is better than B.Lloyd???

**BoutDemCowboys** · 01-10-12, 08:46 PM

^^ No sir! Welker is good but I think it comes down to the fact that Brady is better than Stafford............. Welker clearly has the better stats.

**daddyv** · 01-11-12, 01:08 AM

u have desean jackson n no welker?? u have no clue..stop embarrassing urself by making these lists
i will agree with ur top 3 tho

Miles Austin was injured mist of the season, Dez saw alot if single coverages. No matter how many guys are covering you, when the ball hits your hands, you need to catch it... Austin struggles with that.

**ttwarrior1** · 01-11-12, 04:18 PM

why would i post a hurt andre johnson on the list , this is a current list, sorry slapnuts

1) C Johnson
2) A Johnson
3) Fitz
4) Cruz
5) Britt

**Speedy88** · 01-12-12, 12:39 AM

at the people who think Cruz is better than Nicks.

Cruz is a really good WR, but in no way could he be a #1 WR on his own. The reason why Cruz has been so great this year is because Nicks draws the #1 CB and a safety over the top on most plays. A lot of the times Cruz gets to work 1 on 1 with a CB or a safety when he is in the slot. Cruz is a product of the whole Giants offense.

Nicks can get it done on his own. For instance, if Nicks in the same position that Larry Fitz on the Cardinals, I'm sure he would have a very good year. If Cruz was put in Fitzgeralds shoes, my guess is he would have had a good but not great year.

And there you have it folks...

One out of about every 30 SBR posters even have half a clue...
