Who is the G.O.A.T.?

According to multiple tweets, one by Adam Schefter, Randy Moss is the talk of Media Day so far because he claimed to be the G.O.A.T. which sparks the debate, who really is the "Greatest Receiver of All Time". My vote would surely go Jerry Rice because as he did say numbers speak for themselves.  In 303 Regular Season games Jerry Rice had 1549 receptions, for 22,895 yards which makes it a 14.8 yards per reception ratio, and  197 TD's. He's a 13 time Pro-Bowler and 10 time All-Pro, to go along with 4 Super Bowl appearances and 3 Super Bowl victories with outstanding numbers in each game. Randy Moss on the other hand in 218 Regular Season games has had 982 receptions, for 15,292 yards which makes a 15.6 yards per reception ratio, and a 156 TD's. He is a 6 time Pro-Bowler and a 4 time All-Pro. He has only played in 1 Super Bowl which is the infamous "18-1" season ending with a loss to the New York Giants, and David Tyree's helmet, which he had a slightly above average game.  Leave your comment with your opinion on the best receiver of all time and start the debate.

  1. Wacker,

    I would have to say that Bill Betz Sr was one of the greatest receivers of all time. Look him up. Being inducted into Depaul Hall of Fame next week
