Who is the 5th best WR? 

Post#1 » by tcorbin » Thu Oct 24, 2013 5:43 am

I have Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, and AJ Green in the top 4, but their are alot of guys who you could claim deserves that 5th spot like Welker, Demaryius Thomas, Cruz, Marshall, Vincent Jackson, DeSean Jackson, Reggie Wayne, Dez Bryant, and a couple of other guys.

Who do you think belongs in the top five WRs?

Dez.

I wouldn't put him top 5 but Jordy Nelson deserves a mention.

I dont even think Wayne is in the conversation, I am Colts fan and is a GREAT WR...not top 5 right now though. He is no longer a deep threat which takes away, he does run incredible routes and catches everything around him though.

Calvin and Dez are the cream of the crop. You cant really go wrong with either guy. Julio and AJ Green are 3a and 3b. Fitzgerald and Marshall are probably 4 and 5 respectively.

I think its tough to gauge how great Fitzgerald is because he has had such crap QB's

If anything that's going to help his playing longevity. He's been high underutilized the last couple seasons. As far as raw talent and athetlicism goes though I don't think he's lost a step.

Dez Bryant, but you can argue Vincent Jackson and Victor Cruz too.

Dez better than Julio? Maybe. But AJ Green? No way, Jose.

Dez is definitely up there. Marshall deserves a mention too.

After yesterday I think I'd have to put Jordy Nelson somewhere up there. He benefits from playing with Aaron Rodgers sure and a great offensive system, but he's such a natural WR with the way he runs routes and catches the ball but he's got underrated raw talent and athleticism.

You're gonna have to justify that post. Dez is a more physical version of AJ Green imo.

Yeah, don't know why he is in the defacto top 4. Definitely lost a step or two over the past few years
