Seems like no one mentions him when there's a discussion on top receivers in the NFL...but with his emergence in this year's playoffs....where do youthink he ranks? top 5? top 10?

Seems like he's pretty underrated. Take a look at his stats the last 4 years..

2005 ARI 16 103 1409 13.7 47 10 67 0 0
2006 ARI 13 69 946 13.7 57 6 52 0 0
2007 ARI 15 100 1409 14.1 48 10 69 3 3
2008 ARI 16 96 1431 14.9 78 12 66 1 0

I don't think i could name 5 receivers better than this dude.
 
Um, i think everyone mentions him when there's a discussion on top receivers in the NFL.

Whenever we do these lists though it's typically going to be the players who just had the best year, i.e. Moss was #1 last year yet many dudes would notput him there this year, etc.
 
andre johnson and fitz would probably be my top 2, after that i would have steve smith, boldin, calvin johnson.

that is true. probably because the reciever position is so deep. to me there are probably 5-10 recievers in the game, that on top of their game, could have anargument as best in the league.

Fitz
A.Johnson
Boldin
Moss
T.O.
C.Johnson(det)
C.Johnson(cin)
Smitty
houshmenzadeh
Wayne

and probably a few more that im missing. but at any given time during there career, they have a valid argument for being best wr in the league
 
i hate these discussion cause it doesnt really matter... any WR could have a killer week then blow a knee or just blow word to Team Obliveator (

Peep the avy...dude is good a heck he can out jump anyone and grab catches. i dont know how you stop him.

For sure his best and most productive season of his carreer..

IMO he's been consistently the best WR for the past two maybe three years, I think any QB would feel completely comfortable throwing him any type of passknowing that he would come up with it.
 
He's the third best behind Steve Smith and Andre. Only reason people are getting on his nuts is because he broke out during the playoffs. Pound for pound,it's still Steve Smith.
