Is Larry Fitzgerald underrated?

[Remote]

Jerry Rice is the all-time leader in Receiving Yards with 22,895.
Larry Fitzgerald is 2nd with 17,083

Rice appeared in 303 games over his career while Fitzgerald sits at 250.

Fitzgerald is unlikely to keep playing in order to catch Rice (he will turn 37 on August 30th...and Rice played until he was 42).

That said, the body of work that Larry has built up is now to the point where you have to consider him among the best to ever do it...if not perhaps the best, considering the teams he has had to carry and the level of quarterbacks and coaches he has had overseeing him.

Is Larry Fitzgerald underrated, even as great as he is?

Read some stat that he only dropped 29 passes in his career

 

[Max Power]

I wish he'd left for a contender and got a ring.

He has more tackles than drops

He's the 4th head on the Mt. Rushmore of WRs

Should have a Heisman too

 

[Reggie]

After Rice Moss and Owens he's the next man up in the greatest ever convo if you ask me. He's got the stats and the longevity and has played a majority of his career with some trash at quarterback. He may not get his just due like he should cause he's not as flashy as some but the real fans know how great Fitz was at his best .

Can't think of too many WR's better than him..Ever

 

[Kal El]

Yes, yes he is. Was a Big Ben clutch drive away from having a ring and SB MVP

 

[Mandizi]

Yeah, wish Fitz would've got that ring. Fitz is one of the all-time greats. Anybody just recognizing that are new to football or ain't been payin attention.

I tell everyone this. If I need a 1st down that's 3rd and 10..its Larry Fitz over any WR alltime.
He has the best Coordination of any WR ever. His Ball skills when in the air are 2nd to none. He has the most reliable hands in history and is a 'ball hawk.'

 

[Paper Boi]

i think most people would consider him a hall of fame WR, so nah.

he ain't a champion. that's on him for deciding to ride out his whole career with a WOAT franchise. if he wanted to have a greater legacy he shoulda seen the writing on the wall a long time ago.

 

[broller]

I remember him coming out of Pitt. Even in college his QB wasn't good (Rod Rutherford).

It's too bad Kyler and him couldn't link up in Larry's prime. Larry got Kurt at a high level for ou a couple of years.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Larry wasn't lucky like #88 to have one QB his whole career. Dude had John Skelton and Matt Leinart throwing to him

The Frank Gore of WRs

The Frank Gore of WRs

Don't disrespect Larry Fitzgerald like that. Gore has never done anything like Fitzgerald did in the Cardinals run to the Super Bowl.
