Irvin and Owens?? Shouldn't be on the list. Replace them with Allworth and Balitnikoff

Moss #2? Why do they insist on putting active players on lists like this? They are actually trying to say that four of the best 10 receivers EVER are playing the game right now?? Fools.

Harrison I agree with.

...and Warfield is too high.

ESPN sucks and has turned into Entertainment Tonight for sports.

I pay virtually no attention to ESPN anymore, and this list is a perfect example why.

That's a sad list.

I bet the dumb-ass that put it together didn't even know Don Hutson's name before he Googled 'great wide receivers'.

Don Hutson? The 3rd greatest of all-time?

He was a great WR in his day, sure, but that was back in the NFL's Pleistocene Epoch.

That list is a joke and should be promptly ignored. You can't have any active players on a list of the greatest of all time.

Honestly, how could they forget about Chris Collinsworth?

There were great players in the past, just as there are now. In fact, Hutson should probably be ranked ahead of Moss.

Just because Jim Brown came into the league in the late 50's, does that make him any less of a ruuning back?

Note to all of you young folks: Not all of the great players came into this league after 1980, or 1990, or whatever year you first remember.

Keep praying for the emergence of compromising pictures involving Brady and Bellichick.

This list is decently ok, it's very subjective to whoever puts their list together.

I can't really complain about the guys on it besides Irvin.

Irvin isn't even the best WR in Cowboy history, let alone top 10 in NFL History.

I got two words for Mr. Cocaine....Drew Pearson.

I do think Harrison should be on there. The guy has played an entire career at 150lbs... thats impressive

Owens should be higher and Reed should take his place.

I have no problem with Irvin on that list to be honest. He was a huge part of the Cowboys dynasty of the 90s and no one can deny that. Without any 1 of the big 3, Dallas would not have won 3 superbowls.

You dont have to like Irvin but putting him on a subjective top 10 list is fair IMO.
