Call it skill, call it ethic- what you will. Who is the most potent WR?

Marvin Harrison is the most talented. You wanna talk statitics? Starting in '99 he has had 1100+ yds each season and 10+ tds, he and Peyton set the record for QB/WR tds, and unlike Moss or TO or even Steve Smith he has consistency. He has been a constant threat and even in Fantasy Football he is #1 in my book at WR.

Randy Moss is the most talented. Outside of Steve Smith, probably the fastest. No WR is more dangerous on a fly route. He is listed at 6'4" and 205 pounds. He can run like a gazelle and could catch an anvil dropped off of the Statue of Liberty.
Unfortunately, he has (admittedly) puffed and passed away the majority of his talent. The only one who has "weeded" away more talent is Charles Rogers.
Last year, Moss was not in the top 40 in receptions, he was 20th in yards and tied for 13th in TD's. Antonio Gates, Chad Johnson, Chris Chambers, Joey Galloway, Santana Moss, Larry Fitzgerald, Torry Holt, Marvin Harrison, and Steve Smith finished better then Moss in ALL 3 of those previously listed categories.
In 2003, Moss caught 111 passes for 1632 yards and 17 TD's. In 2004 and '05 combined, he caught 109 passes for 1772 yards and 21 TD's. Moss was well on his way to finishing #2 behind Rice in every major category. Was.
He could have been Jerry Rice but faster, instead he is Dexter Manley but dumber.
However, the most potent would have to be consistent Marvin Harrison or Super Shifty Steve Smith

Steve Smith. Runs fast, Jumps well, beats double teams. If you need any more proof, look how Seattle defended against Carolina in the NFC Championship game. 4 or 5 guys on Steve Smith, 4 guys rushing Delhomme. No other WR in the NFL draws THAT kind of coverage. THAT is why he's the best.

Hines Ward hands down. Even though his stats aren't the greatest (Pittsburgh is known for it's running game), he once told Ben just to get the ball in the same area as him and he'll catch it, and he does. But talking about talent he not only receives but he's an awesome blocker, runner, and he can do gadget plays by being QB. He doesn't smack talk people and he actually has a heart, the world saw him shed a tear on national tv.

T.O is the best and that is coming from a die hard eagles fan. I hate the fact that ownership in philadelphia let him go and did not re-structure his deal.
But hopefully he will f-up the entire dallas cowboy organization.
top three
1. Terrell Owens
2. Marvin Harrison
3. Chad Johnson

I will have to say Steve Smith. He is one of the few wide outs that can be dangerous in the return game. (punt returner or kickoff returner) That's why I like his game, most receivers can't do that.
