[@thog4529]

[@brianvanhook763]

I’m seeing this years after the fact but Marvin Harrison retired in 08. Part of the reason why t.o. has more yards and tds in the era

@Slava Botcharnikov stfu weirdo

[@blacksuburban2410]

@Slava Botcharnikov ... The whole “He was a locker room cancer” comment is a perfect example of how intellectually lazy you people are. You just parrot stuff you heard someone else say and don’t have enough integrity to investigate matters yourself and come to your own conclusions based on the facts. I’ll cash app you $1,000 IMMEDIATELY if you can give me FIVE legitimate sources that called him a locker room cancer. Legitimate is the key word. That means: First, it has to be actual teammate since they’re not only the ones who can provide eyewitness information from inside the locker room ... but were also the ones who would be affected by it. Second, you can’t just throw a name out there and claim that he said it... it has to come directly from whoever you name and CANNOT be hearsay. And I’m a man of my word. Find “Jersey Niner” on Instagram. That’s me. And if you can show me just 5 of his teammates saying he was a cancer, I’m sending you a thousand dollars. It should be easy money for you considering that he played for a period of 15 years. Even using the lowest possible number of teammates (which is 260), it should STILL be an easy $1K for you. Choosing 5 out of 260 oughtta be a cake walk! ESPECIALLY considering how easily we have access to information. I’m looking forward to you accepting that challenge, proving me wrong, and taking my money. I would say that you should give me $1K if you can’t give me the five sources, but I don’t want you to be scared of the challenge. I’m totally fine with seeing you look goofy. LoL

Derek Hype Harrison didn't play for the last season and a half of that decade. You have to look at the total stats of the decade differently when some guys played more games (i.e. Only compare the same amount of games they played in or adjust Harrison stats to more accurately get an idea of where he would have been if he played those 27 extra games he missed out on).

[@TheGuitaronfire76]

No, he said "they hate to love me" LOL Words can be backwards in the heat of emotion.

[@ATrainInfinite]

Derek Hype I I agree TO should be 1 on this list or no worse than 2 (TO/Moss is a toss up for me but both>> Harrison). BUT, they are wrong at 3:15 TO does not have the most yards in that span, I believe it’s Torry Holt. Holt and Randy both had more Yards in that span.

[@Danimal1577]

Still can't forget how he came back from a broken leg in record time to kick ass in that Super Bowl 😳

[@paulcruz3111]

TO played in the Super Bowl on one leg injured and still had more that 100 yards receiving no other wide receiver has done anything close to that Ever, he's the best wide receiver ever.

[@DatBoiGabe99]

Slava Botcharnikov I'm pretty sure Terrell Owens does not equal the entire Eagles football team. He's good, but no one is that good. Superbowls are TEAM accomplishments, not just individual awards. That's what people like you forget. He did more than enough for the Eagles to win, and he did it while injured. Stop hating on the 2nd best wide reciever of all time. Just look at his stats. They don't lie.

[@Vladpryde]

Rice caught 10 passes for 149 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Superbowl with a shoulder that was so injured he couldn't even buckle his helmet strap. Hold this L.

[@Jason-to5cs]

The most physical receiver I have ever seen play the game. Deserves his spot in the HOF.

[@Nicokid87]

He's an all time great and it's laughable that he wasn't included in the NFL top 100. He never had those 1600-1700 yard seasons, but he was always catching TDs of all kind: deep, middle, short, and always one of the strongest and fastest players on the field.

[@RheemQ]

He could've had those type of seasons but whenever he got close he got injured look it up he had over 1400 years seasons in just 13 games

Easy to hate, but TO earned his place in the HOF when he went for 9/122 against New England on one leg. Only guy on that team that had you worried as a Patriots fan.

[@BassGuitarGuy128]

Man, reminiscing about these characters like T.O., Chad Ochcinco, Randy Moss, etc. makes it apparent how dead, dry, and lifeless the NFL is now. Ezekiel Elliot jumping in the Salvation Army bowl was probably the best celebration so far this 2016 season; but that's still pretty ho-hum. The NFL fines players for everything now; sucks a lot of the life out of the game.

[@mosestimoteo8355]

Terrell Owens is the best to ever play the game give him Joe Montana, and Steve Young and Jeff Garcia and he would have set a record no receiver would be able to break. No diss to Jeff Garcia he's an amazing QB. He's a big part of why TO made the Hof. Terrell Owens should have gone in the HOF as soon as he retired. The only thing that matters is his on field performance. Not how many friends he had on the teams he played for.

[@natnaelberhanu-i8w]

After seeing that game winning catch against the packers that was when I became fascinated with the 49ers and football. I idolized him after that catch. The strange thing was that I didn’t follow NFL until 2001 and that catch was during the 98 playoffs so I remember seeing it even when I wasn’t a big football fan at the time.

[@paulyang748]

TO should be #1. He was dominant with a lot of yrs on a short passing gm in SF. He can take a slant to the house on any play.

[@freedomstar3814]

T.O. talked because he wanted to win ..... and he made the game fun to watch ..... he would be my # 1 choice as a WR .... if I was building a HOF team with only 3 WR's ..... Owens , Rice , Moss !

how was Marvin Harrison ahead of him, this was a joke

Jonathan Dee The One And Only yall ever heard of consistency. Not to mention him and Manning literally had all the passing combo records then and Marvin had 4 back to back 100 reception seasons with the 16 year record of 143 (Michael Thomas just broke it).

[@TMSBMC]

Jonathan Dee The One And Only you can literally say that about Rice, Michael Thomas, Edelman, Holt, Bruce, Welker, Brown, Kelce, the list can go on. All of those guys play/played with fantastic QBs, but because of that their skills are not as held high? How? Rice is still considered the GOAT even tho he played with two HoF. Montana being still arguably the best since he never lost in the SB.

[@AButler2200]

He’s better than Moss. He’s more versatile and lead the league in 2000-2009 in rec. played in the Super Bowl with a broken leg and put up 122 Rec. what more you need?

[@MostlyElectrolytes]

TO never got into actual trouble.....he had a lot of "locker room stuff" that was usually because he wanted the ball and to be really fair he was the best player on the field about 99% of the time he was out there. But he was a complete player and one of the most willing and best blockers on the field. You got guys like Moss (who was amazing), but he took plays off...not TO....dude played every damn play.

[@Nox444]

For Terrell Owens to not be #1 is ridiculous. He's the 2nd best receiver to ever play the game. Jerry Rice is the only one better and the ONLY reason he's not #1 is because he's controversial. He's not even on ya'll top 100 players yet Jerry Rice is #1. But the second best receiver to ever play the game isn't anywhere on the rest of the list? Ridiculous... Not in the hall of fame? Even more ridiculous.

[@MrSlashblade]

Slava Botcharnikov you know how hard it is to win a Super Bowl Largent Moss TO Cris Carter Calvin Johnson Larry Fitzgerald Chad Ochocinco Steve Smith Sr Tim Brown These guys didn't win a super bowl and some of them were quiet guys what is there excuse but do we downplay their greatness Those who use a ring argument are bandwagon fans because they fail to forget 31 other teams aren't gonna give you a title because of your legacy. Especially in a game where no matter how good you are, if the other side doesn't get it done you won't win.

[@MrSlashblade]

Slava Botcharnikov probably the same cuz outside of celebrating and that one eagle incident he always play hard A lot of y'all underestimate how much some of these "divas" want to win.

[@MrSlashblade]

Slava Botcharnikov He wanted the ball which guess what a lot of receivers wanted the damn ball you could probably count on two hands on how many receivers didn't care if they got the ball or not. he went steps too far with garcia and Mcnabb and Romo but you can't question this guys work ethic and all these locker room spats guess what didn't mean a damn thing when he took the field very few played as hard as TO. You don't retire as basically the 2nd in every statistical category that matters as a receiver if you don't play your heart out. So if your personality, in a skill position might I add, is what stops you from winning a super bowl than guys like Larry Fitzgerald, Tim Brown, Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, Steve Largent man than those guys have to suck cuz they didn't have any attitude and they still have no ring to show for it.

TO's down fall was being criticized by broadcasters and riders that had no experience playing football and no business reporting on football

[@John_TalksGiants]

Just a general statement, it’s funny how people say a player of any position is overrated simply because of that players attitude. You show them that players numbers and then they give you excuses as to why that player isn’t as good as everyone says but it all stems simply because they don’t like that players personality. Well last time I checked when you’re at the scouting combine you don’t do any drills on if the fans or media is going to like you.

[@personaltreyner9964]

Moss was a One Trick Pony. And even though it was a helluva trick, it's not enough to make him better than T.O. While that's just my opinion, I have actual evidences to prove my case. Their tangibles are pretty much dead even. But what makes Owens better in my eyes is all the stuff T.O. did that don't show up on the stats sheet. After you watch this video, go to Garrison Hearst's 49ers Highlight video (and other highlights of T.O.'s teammates. You'll notice that you see #81 making KEY blocks downfield that spring his teammates into the end zone! Now do the same for ANY of Moss's teammates, and tell me how many times you see #84 in the mix making blocks! Those were the plays that Moss took off... when he wasn't getting the ball, he wasn't a factor. Also, look at the range of routes that the two ran. Randy wasn't a 3rd and 8, go across the middle receiver. There's a whole range of football field where Randy was scared to go. And that's crazy because Moss had a mutant-like ability to catch the ball in traffic; he just didn't have the heart.
