A new-found respect for Michael Irvin.

[lordofgun]

This morning, Stewart Scott was on ESPN Radio. He said himself, Michael Irvin, Chris Mortensen, and some other football guys at ESPN were arguing about the greatest WRs of all time.

Here's Michael Irvin's top 3 WRs of all time:
1. Jerry Rice
2. Andre Reed
3. Michael Irvin

To many drugs for Michael

[ryjam282]

obviously the coke he is doing now is a little more potent to put himself in the top 3.

What about Steve Largent, or Art Monk, or Stallworth, Swann. Many others are much better then he ever was.

What about Don Hutson? Charlie Joiner? Raymond Berry? Lance Alworth?

Neither Stallworth or Swann had stats anywhere near what Irvin did.

Art Monk, 888, 120261 and 65 TD's
Andre Reed, 951, 13198 and 87 TD's

I think Irvin was one of the best of all time.

People - Don't let your hatred cloud your judgement!

Here is the Comparison

Player Receptions Yards TDs
Irvin 750 11904 65
Swann 336 5462 51
Stallworth 537 8723 63
Andre 951 13198 87


How the Hell did Swann Make the Hall of fame??? He never had a season with more that 880 yards. Reed Blows them all out of the water.

How can you guys forget Lofton????

I was surprised when he listed Reed, but a strong argument can be made. As for including himself, it was the pinnacle of conceit. But he did laugh . . . it was a funny moment, if only b/c he laughed at himself.

I'd make the case for Largent, Monk, Lofton, or Carter before Irvin. A lot of his yards were gained by pushing off or launching himself upwards using defenders' shoulder pads; he probably has the most non-penalties of any player in history.

Art Monk, 888, 120261 and 65 TD's
Andre Reed, 951, 13198 and 87 TD's

Lance Alworth 542 10266 85

Lynn Swann 336 5462 51 (NOT EVEN CLOSE)

John Stallworth 537 8723 63

Don Hutson 488 16.4 99

Charlie Joiner 750 12146 65



Andre’s numbers are better than all of these guys. He slipped towards the end and that’s what we remember. It’s just another example of how Buffalo fans don’t appreciate what we have and what we had.

Lets compare Hall of Famer Swann to Thurman Thomas as far as receiving goes

Swann 336 5462 51
Thurman 472 4458 23

Are you reading my posts Pat???

Listening to Sports talk Radio is rotting my brain.


I swear that if the defense comes together and we win the Superbowl this year ala the Baltimore Ravens a few years ago, a good portion of Bills fans will say we didn’t deserve it and we’re not really that good and that Bledsoe sucks and he had nothing to do with it.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Here are Loftons Stats by the way

Lofton 764 14004 75

His best years were in Greenbay but did have a 1000 yard year with us.
