How good was Steve Largent?

[Dusty Bake Activate]

People don't seem to talk about him much when it comes to all time elite WRs. He's down the list now, but he was 1st in catches, receiving yards and TDs when he retired though. And he has 100 TDs despite playing in the 70's and 80's when the league wasn't as pass-crazy.

Is he underrated? For how long was he the best (Rice crushed the buildings from 85 on), or 2nd best, or in the elite tier in the league?

all i knoow is he has a sick throwback

He was a Wes welker type just more durable

 

[Greenhornet]

was just thinking about him 2 days ago

Great hands... Always knew he'd hold on to the ball. Seahawks would sometime get wit the bengals in the 80's but we generally shat on them nikkas

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Eric Decker good

Welker averaged 11 ypc. Largent averaged 16.

He was but a very crisp route runner who always seemed to find the ball

He's break a lot of those played from under though

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Eric Decker good

 

[L@CaT]

Still the GOAT CaC receiver

 

[NatiboyB]

shyt he's still one of the top 5 all-time WRs but with the league pass happy someone will come for his spot if they are blessed with durability.

Boy hands and route running were ill. Also his toughness was slept on, he'll cross that middle with little worry. Imagine if he had a.consistent great QB.
