Don't the numbers shows that Mitchell had a *legitimately* great year in 95? Not just a fluke-y sort of "mediocre-to-average in real life, but efficient enough to be favored by some metrics" kind of deal but a legitimately strong year? I understand he was figured out/trash fairly shortly there after, but he always seems to be a little unfairly maligned even during his (admittedly short lived) success

[@Sephiroth766]

It's still amazing the numbers Marino put up in 1984. 5,084 Yards, 48 TD's. Those would be elite numbers today. He did that in 1984 when 3,500 and 25 TD's were MVP caliber numbers. And looking at those highlight, that receiving core and Marino would do well today.

[@gluserty]

I think the 1980's/90's 49ers and 1999-2001 Rams had the largest number of overall threats in the passing game--49ers: Jerry Rice, John Taylor, Brent Jones, Roger Craig, & Tom Rathman. Rams: Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Marshall Faulk, Az-Zahir Hakim, and Ricky Proehl. That's a lot of guys on the field to try to stop. The "Air Coryell" Chargers were deep in receiving as well and I think are a good choice at #1, constantly bringing in new pieces throughout the 1980's (Eric Sievers, Pete Holohan, Lionel James, James Brooks for awhile...) which went along with the core of Charlie Joiner, Wes Chandler (before him John Jefferson), and Kellen Winslow. All these receiving corps on this list are strong though.

That Rams squad is hands down number 1. They were incredible!

[@credehorton7017]

In my opinion, ain't nobody coming close to tht 98' Vikings Receiver core besides maybe suma them colts teams. Randy Moss, Chris Carter plus Jake Reed. And imma Broncos fan. Summa them Colts teams tho with Edge outta the backfield, Marvin, Reggie and Dallas Clark, yeah solid receiving core. In my opinion tho the 98' Vikings Receiving core was tough to beat. As a ride or die Broncos fan, I don't know if we beat em if they get to the Super Bowl tht year especially with Robert Smith complimenting tht passing game for them Vikes

[@cooperwolfe5478]

I think you make a lot of great points. However in my opinion, and I’m not at all trying to be disrespectful, the best receiving core is the Washington Redskins of the late 80’s and early 90’s with Art Monk, Gary Clark, and Ricky Sanders. They not only were the first trio of wide receivers to each have 1,000 yards in a season, but unlike the 98 Vikings or the Colts of the 2000’s the Posse won multiple championships together. I think that accounts for something.

[@dustinhellstern7728]

Seriously, Nothing about 90’s Packers? •Sterling Sharpe, Antonio Freeman, Andre Rison, Don Beebe, Bubba Franks•

[@aaronjackson9385]

Sharpe was done with his neck injury, by the time Freeman emerged. Andre Rison only played there like half a season in 96, immediately left and went to KC. Bubba Franks played with Freeman, but Freeman was on the downside by then. You shouldve mentioned Freeman/Brooks, they had the most overlap during that era. Their tight end was Mark Chmura.

90s Vikings should be number one, rookie moss and prime CC is insane

[@jamesgabrielson473]

98 Vikings should be way higher on the list. They put up those numbers even after the starting QB, Brad Johnson, broke his ankle week 2 and was replaced by Randall Cunningham. Cunningham ended up being All-Pro and had an insane stat line playing only 14 1/2 games. But that should speak to how incredible that receiver group was even more. The entire league said Randall Cunningham was not a better option than their starter and with this WR group they still had one of the greatest seasons of all time.

no way.. they aren't deep enough... look how much deeper the 80's 49ers are. Two WR's including the best Ever, a RB, a FB, and a TE. And each of them were basically the very best at their position at that time. The 90's Vikings had two excellent WR's, a decent 3rd WR, and a decent RB, and that's it. with none of them being the best at their position.. So it's not close. The 90's Vikings were listed in the correct spot.

Jack Tanner The current crop of Bucs WRs led by Mike Evans would bring a obvious smile to your face and there's a guy on their roster that has the physical ability to be one of the top deep threats in the NFL say hello to JUSTIN WATSON he is 6'2 220 with blazing speed 4.35 he is from The University of Penn but he is underutilized in my opinion.

Anybody who wants to tell us that the late 90s early 2000 Vikings should be number 1 has to explain why they always fell short in the postseason. It's not just some kicker missing the field goal. they did not step up in the big games. In the 2000 NFC championship game Randy Moss quit trying after just one quarter.
