When discussing the greatest quarterback or running back of all time, you will get 10 different answers. When discussing the greatest wide receiver of all time, their is no discussion. Their is Jerry Rice and then theirs everyone else. He might be the best football player ever. He has so dominated his position you are at a loss for words.

I hate the Raiders and 49ers but Jerry Rice and Walter Payton are the 2 best football players ever.Nuff said.

He is a fantastic player of all time high!!! He make's the game's exciting.

One word Stats. thats all i have to say about this guy.

Awesome!

He's a good wide receiver. But he also did not make the impressive catches like Lynn Swan. Plus, the referees' are always on the side of Rice. Jerry Rice makes my Top 5 whiner list for the NFL.

Can still take over a game at 40!

no doubt the greatest....

1 word. "Freak"

Rice is nice ... An unbelievable iron-horse for the game. 49ers won so many because of his talents to run, break,dodge, dive and then, craddle the ball from his team mate Joe Montana. Jerry WILL go down into NFL history, as the best reciever ever, to fondle and catch a football. Yes; the 49ers had real gold in their midsts !!!

JERRY RICE IS A LEGEND. SOME OF THESE IDIOTS ON THIS BOARD AREN'T SHOWING HIM THE ROYAL RESPECT HE DESERVES. MAYBE HE MURDERED THEIR TEAMS IN A PLAYOFF GAME. JERRY IS A HALL OF FAME RECEIVER AND THE BEST RECIEVER OF ALL TIME. HIS LONGEVITY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. HE HOLDS EVERY RECIEVER RECORD IN THE BOOK.

Best reciever, not player. Someone that touches the ball an average of 6-8 times a game, no matter how good, simply doesn't have the same impact on the game that a player like Jim Brown had.

Jerry is to football what Michael Jordan is to Basketball.

Where the mother F'ing f**k is Brett Favre on this list!!?? sorry for the profanity, but i can't belive he's not in the top 10! he's one of the toughest (170+ consecutive starts, QB record) most talented (only man to pass for 30+ TDs in 4 consec seasons) bestest players, let alone QBs, EVER!

Not that good of a player. Very dissapointing player.

He is the GREATEST football player of all time. Hands down.

A forty year old who still gets a 1,000 yards receiving? Wow...what a work ethic he has.

jerry rice is the greatest wr to play the game his fan jason

Hey, i am doing a research project on Jerry Rice and I am having difficulties finding information about his life off the field. If someone could e-mail me back at kwamebrown_12@yahoo.com with a website or any information i would really appreciate it.. thanks guys

Can someone give me a link to Jerry Rice websites that tell you his life off the field, more about what players think of him..etc. Im doing a huge project on him for school and I am having difficulties recieivng information about the greatest player to play in the NFL.. any help will be valuable... thanks guys.

so the QB could get the ball to him, he did the rest. Even if you got a good QB, that doesn,t matter much,even after the catch they couldn't catch him.

Old gizzard, he's going to get hurt really bad one of these days and I hope its when he plays DALLAS.

BEst wide reciever ever, but had the advantage of a great system and great QBs. Not Jim Brown, though.

Hands down the greatest statistical player of all-time. Nobody will ever touch Jerry Rice numbers, He is on my all-football team.

over the hill

Jerry Rice is Superman! He is the real thing. He can shake and slide. Most of all he can catch. The man is the best thing since sliced bread.

He is the Michael Jordan of football. He broke every record he could. The man IS greatness.

The greatest receiver of all time. Broke every receiving record there is. He is my favorite NFL player ever.

The greatest receiver of all time. He always demanded a level of excellence from himself and others.

We have the privilege to see the best receiver of all time play the game. And to think that all the years he's played. Only his recent knee injury has been negative.

He is and always will be my favorite wide receiver of all time. As a kid I wished I was him. I would pretend I was him every time I would play football.

You can't beat him. He has the greatest work ethic known to any football players. He devoted his life to the game, and made the best out of everything he does/did. Holds too many records to count.

The greatest ever to play the position of wide receiver. He has the record for the most records- that is awesome. This athlete has excelled for many years at his position and there will probably never be anyone to surpass him. That is why he will be a Hall of Famer.

Best wide receiver who played the game. Current record holder for touchdowns and a reception every game played. Future Hall of Famer. He's a team leader and best player I think ever!

The greatest wide receiver in the NFL. He has speed and height. Nowadays people say he is old, but he is not, 'cause he can still hang with the rookies. He will not give up the fight for yards and touchdowns.

The greatest receiver to ever play football. He is number one in receptions, yards, and touch downs. He is expected to retire in the next two years.

Jerry is the greatest wide receiver of all time, and I can claim this with little argument. His accolades do not lie, brilliance of his kind is rare. He not only posesses physical skill, he works those skills to near perfection.

Greatest wide receiver of all time, his stats show it. His Super Bowl MVP is more evidence. Nobody runs better patterns than he, nobody has better hands than he either.

The best player ever! My favorite player! Holds almost all the receiving records and the record for most touchdowns. He has a great personality and trains hard.

He, in many opinions, is the greatest receiver of all time. To me, sort of. Fred Bletnikoff from the Raiders is the best, Jerry Rice was just lucky to be on a good team. That's why he is said to be so great.

Without a doubt the best wide receiver of all time, he is 38 and still has some juice left in him. He has played with the two best quarterbacks of all time, Joe Montana and Steve Young. Jerry was, and still is, a leader on the 49er team. His grace on and off the field is one of the best.

Jerry Rice is one of the best football players of all time. He leads the all time career totals in receptions, touchdowns, and other major receiver categories. He was also fortunate to have two great quarterbacks to pass to him.

Jerry Rice is a football God. He is the greatest wide receiver to ever play football. He was the go to guy in clutch situations and he almost always came through.

He is the best wide receiver ever. He has all the skills a wide receiver should posess. He is also a legend. He is still playing right now.

An all time wide receiver. He is a focus point when he plays football. But new players have come into view, and Jerry isn't always noticeable. When he is it's a result of an excellent play. That's what makes him so good.

Best receiver ever. Fast as all hell. Great hands. Runs precise routes. Has a great head for the game. He will be a first ballot Hall of Famer. He holds almost every receiving record imaginable or possible.

A great all around player who does it all. From TD catches to play making he is the man. After 14 years he still got the moves as if he was drafted last week. Rice has the most catches. He has almost all the records. He's the man.

Jerry Rice is undoubtedly the best receiver of all time. He holds almost all the records. I am also happy to see him play with the same team. He showed class in not leaving for more money. Class and honor help to contribute to an all around great person on the field.

The records he owns, the way he plays, but most important the work ethic. Barry Bonds after working out with Rice said no human can do that!

I'm not a big 49ers fan, but the pre-injury Jerry Rice was the best football players in the NFL. It's too bad that his playing level has dropped off because he was the most dominant player in history.
