WR- chad johnson. top 10 best ever?

Question

list the top 10 and where he places on the list

Answer 1

I notice alot of people saying how inferior Chad is, but then mentioning Marvin Harrison as an all time great (which is true), however they put very comparable stats, year in year out.

after 92 games Marvin had 522 receptions for 7078yrds and 62tds
after 92 games Chad has 466 6925 41

So Marvin, who plays on one of the altime greatest offenses, with one of the alltime greatest qbs(but thats another debate) has scored a decent number of tds more than Chad, who plays on a offense that most of you don't give much respect. Chad is the only reciever, EVER, to lead a conference in recieving 4 years in a row. This season he also had a 3 game offensive explosion better than any other wr ever.
Now I'm not saying hes top 10 all time but most of you are talking like hes Mike Williams when he is clealy one of the best today and if he were to only maintain this pace would be one of the best ever. You may not like his shenanigans but he does produce.

Answer 2

Top 10???? Are you kidding me? Here is a list, no particular order of WRs better than him:
Jerry Rice
Art Monk
Randy Moss
Terrell Owens
Steve Largent
Lance Alworth
Don Hudson
John Stallworth
Don Maynard
Michael Irvin
Sterling Sharpe
Ahmad Rashad (Bobby Moore)
Torry Holt
Dwight Clark
Tom Fears
Fred Biletnikoff
Charlie Joiner
James Lofton
Charlie Taylor
Lynn Swann
Irving Fryar
Chris Carter
Tim Brown
Marvin Harrison
Andre Reed
Raymond Berry

I could go on and on and on and on...(it took about 2 minutes to come up with that list).
He is to young and unaccomplished to be considered in the top 10 or 20 of all-time. If he keeps his production up for another 5 or 6 years, then he would most likely be in the top 20.
Top 10 though? Not likely, but possible
Who Dey??? WE DEY!!!!
Go Steelers

Answer 3

I'm not sure if he'll be in the top 10 ever. Although he is picking up the yardage and TDs, top 10 requires more playoff appearances. With the way the AFC seems to dominate right now, the Bengals will have to best Indy, Pittsburgh, New England, San Diego, Baltimore, et al. Despite yardage, if he can't lead his team well into the playoffs, he won't be a top 10er. Still, I think it is hard to imagine that he won't have an impressive career with Carson Palmer throwing to him.

Answer 4

1. Jerry Rice
2. Marvin Harrisson
3. Randy Moss
4.Chad Johnson

Answer 5

Top 10 Active NFL Receivers
1. Marvin Harrison
2. Reggie Wayne
3. Hines Ward
4. Larry Fitzgerald
5. Andre Johnson
6. Anquan Boldin
7. Donald Driver
8. Torry Holt (as much as it pains me to admit)
9. Steve Smith (another painful admission)
10. Chad Johnson (a third painful admission)

Seeing as he's only #10 on the ACTIVE list, to be one of the ALL-TIME 10 best would mean he'd have to be better than EVERY Hall-of-Famer. Conclusion: he's not that good, especially since there's this guy by the name of Jerry Rice (maybe you've heard of him?) in the Hall.

Furthermore, if Randy Moss and TO weren't such selfish brats who only play when they feel like playing, they'd be better than every active receiver not named Harrison, and if that were the case, it would further contribute to the case that Chad ISN'T one of the 10 all-time best receivers.

Answer 6

Jerry Rice
Marvin Harrison
Tim Brown
James Lofton
Steve Largent
Lance Alworth
Chris Carter
Michael Irvin
Issac Bruce
Sterling Sharpe

sorry no Chad Johnson


I think everyone is forgeting that TJ Housmandzdaah( Or however you spell it, had more receptions than Ocho Lesso last year)

Answer 7

When he retires he will be. I don't want to sound rude but I think the people who say "not even close" (or similar) are being a bit defensive of old-school players. There are many talented WRs in the league now and many of them will be the names that get remembered. There's the best guys like Jerry and Cris, but some older players have their stats inflated by playing many many years (yes longevity is good, but teams would more likely take a player who will be explosive for, lets say 9 year, then a player who could be consistantly average for 15 ---because college kids just keep getting more and more talented and players don't stay with one team long nowadays anyway. -------plus people just don't Chad because he brings spunk to the game.

anyway, I think he'll be good. In the past 5 of his 6 years (1st year he only started 3 games, all others 14+) he averaged 1319yards rec., plus averaging 15.1 yards per catch in those 5 years (very good --Marvin Harrison's current career avg. is 13.4 and Cris Carter's was only 12.6). He's averaged 8TD a year in those 5 years (and i'm sure that will go up) and 16.4 plays of 20+ yards and 6.2 of 40+ (he's a great big-play WR).

EDIT********
Judge Ghis, I hope you realize that you list is by no means what others should count as official ("seeing as he is only #10" ---IN YOUR OPINION)
I hope the "painfully" for Tory Holt is because you don't like the rams or him, because he's the most consistant WR in the game and the only one with a chance of breaking Rice's yardage record given a long career. And, it is also my opinion (but I could many who agree) but I think your list is a joke. Donald Driver is barely even worthy of being called a "pro-bowl" WR, and Heines Ward is an average WR who just happens to block well. Fitz, Andre and Boldin are all good, but not top 5(ish) (and IMO it's Boldin>Fitz>Andre). Steve Smith is good, but overrated due to his good season last year (which was mainly a result of being fed the ball 100+ times). Reggie Wayne is up and coming but definitely not top 5 (him and marvin tops, I'm sensing colts bias). And I agree with Moss and TO being idiots, but physically they are both better than Harrison (ranking top 2 IMO). reliablity included (ie: not Moss and TO) the top WRs in no order would be Harrison, Chad, Holt, Steve Smith.
Also, if you really want to incorporate names that arn't as "elite" into your top 10, it should definitely be Roy Williams. The guy averaged 16ypc last year! That's great in this day and age.

Answer 8

Jerry Rice
Randy Moss (early years)
Art Monk
James Lofton
Marvin Harrison
Chris Carter
Michael Irving
John Stallworth
Tim Brown
Steve Largent

(sorry, Ocho Cinco ain't there ....yet)

Answer 9

Not even close. Probably the top 100, and #100 at that.
It takes players years of hard work and class to get to be the best.
Chad has another 10 years of hard work ahead of him to be even considered for that list. He has no class, so that isn't even an option for a punk like him.

Answer 10

There isn't enough space here to list all the guys in front of him, but he's definitely not in the top 10.
