Rams #2 & 3 Best Receiving Corps
As rated by NFL Channel Network
1. Air Coryell - Late 70's, Early 80's San Diego Chargers
2. Greatest Show on Turf
3. 50's Rams - Crazy Legs, Tom Fears, Glenn Davis
4. 80's ***** - Rice, Taylor, Craig
5. 60's Redskins - Taylor, Mitchell, Jurgensen
6. 70's Raiders - Biletnikoff, Chester, Wells
7. 70's Dolphins - the Marks Brothers
8. Late 80's Redskins - the Posse
9. Late 90's Vikings - Moss, Carter
10. 2000's colts - Harrison, Wayne
This seems to credit those Corps which were together several years and not those who were not Flash-in-the-pans or Stallworth/Swan might have made the list?
It was also mentioned how the GSOT had the most depth with Hakim and Proehl as 4th and 5th receivers more than adequate to the task when called upon and how Marshall could easily have been a Wide Receiver had he opted to as he was a great route runner.

Re: Rams #2 & 3 Best Receiving Corps
 I saw this also RnD. It was a good watch. It was all about teams with 3 or more receiving threats, whether it was WR, RB, or TE included.
The Colts at #10 had Stokely included. The Vikes at #9 had Jake Reed included. The Fins at #7 had Nat Moore included. The Raiders had Dave Casper included. There were some others I can't remember.
Funny how some of these guys are forgotten. When I saw Carter and Moss I instantly remembered Jake Reed, but before watching that I had completely forgotten about Reed.

Wouldn't that be GREAT!?!
Perhaps the best 'receiver' here would be Coach Al Saunders ... implementing his newly formed offense a la MMM* (even if only partially).

Re: Rams #2 & 3 Best Receiving Corps
An impressive list to say the least. And if we're being honest, those Air Coryell teams were the GSOT nearly two decades before our GSOT hit the field. Chandler, Joiner, Winslow, Jefferson; and Muncie or James in the backfield.....pretty impressive.
btw, hard list to crack, but an argument could be made for the presence of mid 80's Dolphins. Duper & Clayton made for a solid receiving corp. As well, they had some young QB too, I can't recall his name though.

They did make that list, and RnD has them listed under the "Marks Brothers" at #7 (RnD put 70's instead of 80's by mistake I'm guessing), and then like I said Nat Moore was the 3rd that went along with the "Marks Bros".

Ah yes, very good, Rb. I didn't make it to the nicknames. I saw the "70's Dolphins" and just thought the Nat Moore reference was to his early days next to Paul Warfield (for his rookie season), Duriel Harris, & Freddie Soloman.

Re: Rams #2 & 3 Best Receiving Corps
WOW! The Whiners trio from last season didn't make it? What were their names again?

Re: Rams #2 & 3 Best Receiving Corps
i became a fan of football (due to my age) in the early `80`s so only caught the end of the air coryell, chargers...i have seen lots of video clips of theirs and re-runs etc....one epic play-off game against the `phins sticks out!
anyway..to my question to the slighter older fans of football than myself...im thinking the fact that they had kellen winslow at TE over our TE`s who tho roland,ernie and jeff robinson i liked a lot,simply were not kellen winslow! as being the difference maker between them and our very own G.S.O.T...would you say thats about right??

Ramblin', I agree that the difference between Winslow and the GSOT TEs is vast; no comparison really. And while fair comparisons can be made between the AC Fouts and GSOT Warner, as well as the AC Joiner & Jefferson/Chandler and the GSOT Bruce & Holt, there are a couple of differences that gives the GSOT the advantage in my mind.....
1. First and foremost, Chuck Muncie wasn't Marshall Faulk
2. There were no AC 3/4 wideouts to compare to Hakim and Proehl.

Re: Rams #2 & 3 Best Receiving Corps
Denver had the 'three amigos', (or was it tres hombres?), whose names escape me at the moment, (which is maybe why they're not on the list).

good points...could also add that the Chargers never done it the biggest game of all! seems like they had a different criteria..
AV,
i cant believe they didnt have stallworth & swann on the list either!
am sure the likes of ike,torry az etc and stallworth,swann etc...would take their superbowl rings over being top of a journalists list anyday!
