Could be worse: Yours was the top comment when KZbin auto-loaded The NFLs 38th Best All-Time immediately after the NFLs declared 37th Best. Player. EVER: Jim Thorpe, who did everything better than everyone, but whose "highlight reel" ends with him drop kicking a ball in the ONLY film of him as an NFL player. It's actually shorter than the clip of two guys carrying Knute Rockne off the field after Jim ran over him for a 60 yd TD as payback for an earlier 2 yd loss. I understand why people say the prototypical modern wideout is only 10th when the archetypal modern wideout's #1 (i.e. Rice didn't just perfect what Hutson invented, he won his championships without abusing draft rejects.) But Jim Thorpe was the BEST EVERYTHING EVER.

I've only seen clips of Alworth, but it appears that he specialized in running down Long balls. And Evidently the Chargers built their Offense around Lance's deep Threat ability. Special player.

Most people alive did not see Alworth in his prime. Only when you watch video clips from highlight shows from that era does it become clear what an incredible player he was. Jerry Rice was a truly dominant player and was one of the top two or three players of all time. But when I watch those old clips of Alworth, I find it hard to believe there was much separation between him and Rice. People from that era say that Alworth was faster than Rice and his hands and coordination have to be seen on film to be appreciated.

Alworth was tougher, smarter, and far more versatile as a receiver than Randy Moss ever was. He ran better routes, played up the middle, rarely dropped the ball, and was not afraid to get out there and block. Alworth did it all in a time that was far grittier and it's completely unfair to write him off because of generational differences. Alworth also ran a 9.7 in the 100 as a 19 year-old sophomore in Fayetteville, which means he was exceptionally fast.

It never crossed my mind that Jerry Jones (and Jimmy Johnson) played on the same Arkansas team as Lance Alworth--even though I vaguely knew they all went to that university. I think if Alworth was playing in today's NFL his production would have been incredible since in his day the DB's could harass you and your route a lot longer than can be legally done now. Perhaps Jerry should put Lance up on the Dallas Ring of Honor even though Lance only played there two seasons. It would be a tribute to all the excitement that Lance brought to the game, no matter where he played. His beautiful running style and route running is a joy to behold for football history. Yes, I realize he's in the Charger Hall of Fame also--why not be in two???

Alworth is one of the greatest wide receivers in AFL history. He caught 77 touchdown passes, third-most in AFL, behind only Don Maynard [84] and Art Powell [81].

Dolphin Goosby, I loved Warfield's game. Averaged a TD for every 5 receptions career (85/427) as well as over 20 yards per catch. Played on teams (60s Browns, 70s Dolphins) that insisted on run first, limiting his opportunities. Excellent routes, great hands and speed. And the humility not to complain about being reigned in on running teams. Won an oldschool NFL title (1964) as well as back-to-back SBs (1972-73). There are players who have nearly double the catches who still have fewer TDs. One of my favorite all-time players.

Might not be stretch to say that Hutson, Alworth & Rice were the best game-in, game-out; year-in & year-out most consistent deep ball threats that pro football has ever had. I've seen many film clips of Don Hutson catching passes where there was not a single defender in the entire frame. BTW - Alworth was also a crunching crackback blocker back in the day when it was still a legal play.

College stats were so modest then. Alworth was primarily a running back, and he gained 531 yds rushing as a senior to go with 18 receptions for 320 yards, all in ten games. Offenses were different then, and even stars didn't get very many touches. But what predicted that by his second year with the Chargers he'd be making such huge numbers?

Lance is on another level. I don't know if he is better than Moss, although it's arguable. You can't compare players across eras. Alworth was dominant for the time he played, as was Randy. Lance does have one thing going for him, and that's that he is one of the very few old school players that could play today. Some sources say he was an easy 4.4 on the field, and he was almost 6'1. I still think Randy should be higher, but Alworth is in the Moss/Rice/Hutson mold for his era.

I can respect that he paved the way for wide receivers but him being better than randy moss or anybody from this era is wild! Cornerbacks are 6’2 and run a 4.3 40 in high school. Hell in middle school. And the game has advance past his time. And that’s okay. Takes nothing away from his greatness. He won his era. 👏🏽👏🏽

@@strykrpinoy I don’t think so. They even coach DBs differently now. 10 years old know how to press man and can play man without back peddling. Lance Alworth probably doesn’t even know how to release off the line like these kids do nowadays. The game has advanced waaaaaaay too much. You gotta think the kids know everything he knows at 15 and they are faster and quicker. The one thing he has over them is toughness. He is a 1,000 times tougher than most if not all of the receivers of today’s game.

Alworth could star in either era. Moss would not have done as well in the 60s, getting clotheslined and hit out of bounds by guys who knew it would get to him. And Alworth was succeeding against arguably better DBs, because the AFL had to turn to lesser known athletes from historically black colleges.
