Who is the better reciever?

[amhunt2]

Of these Patriots, who is the best at catching passes?

Randy Moss is missing from this poll because of his overwhelming favoritism. Think of it as who is the "2nd" best.

Randy Moss.

I cannot believe I was one of the naysayers, but admit that I was wrong. I am quickly starting to love him.

i also cant believe mr topic creator didnt include the mossman

Of those, I voted for Glenn, because I've seen him make some ridiculous catches.

Welker is a great overall receiver, but most of that is his ability to run after the catch, IMO. He has great hands too, sure, but I haven't really seen him make too many spectacular catches, just spectacular runs after the catch.

Notice, Randy Moss was left out on purpose. He'd be the favorite by far in a lot of minds, thus defeating the purpose of the poll.

You only voted for Terry Glenn because he screwed up in that playoff game against the Steelers. I believe it was in 1997. Instead of touching the Steeler down after the INT, he jumped over him and (damn the name is escaping me) the Steelers got about 60 yards of field position because of Glenn's screw up.

Final score:

Steelers - 7
Patriots - 6



...and Todd Collins not hitting Korky out of bounds still boggles my mind. Instead, he did an O'LAY!

[HSanders]

Mike Vrabel naturally. Every single catch he has ever made is for a TD. TOP THAT!

[Southpaw]

I never saw Stanley Morgan play so I can't speak on him. I REALLY wanted to vote for Ben Coates. He had a great feel for the game and had great hands. I also believe he held the record for catches by a TE for awhile. I thought about Terry Glenn, but I always think about the times when she wasn't healthy and/or didn't want to play. Shes an amazing WR though, with great down field speed.

I went with Deion Branch. Always came up big on the largest of stages. Tough for his size, even though he doesn't always stay healthy. Its a tough decision between him and Coates, I think its hard to compare them just because they are such different WRs.

I saw almost all of them play and of that list its Ben Coates.
He caught balls in traffic every game. Many were ROCKETS off the cannon of Bledsoe. Some were touch passes but many of the 3rd down catches he had were thrown with gusto.

how the hell is irving fryar not on here

[Brownfan80]

I took the poll literally.

It said who IS the best pass catcher, so I took it as if that meant who can catch the best today.

So I didn't even consider the past patriots, because their hands are probably hurting a bit at this point.

Glenn is injured, Brown hasn't seen the field yet.

I voted Welker because he's doing pretty well catching passes in the present tense.

[groganfan]

fryar was a jerk when he was on new england so glad he's not on the list.

Stanley Morgan...
