Bruce for me and not even close. One of the best route runners ever.

Bruce... and for those who can't get Bruce being a 49er at one point, here's some pain for you...

 

[bluecoconuts]

Man, that's a tough one... I'd rather have both again... I think I would go with Bruce though, his route running ability was great, and I think as an added bonus he would teach more to the other receivers than Holt would.

Either guy I would love to have back in their prime, but if it has to be one, I'd say Bruce. Imagine Sam with a guy like Bruce? Sure hands, and great route running? He would never need to worry about if he's going to be there or not.

I don't remember exactly who but there was a poster that had this pic in their sig and it came to mind while reading the thread so I searched and found it. I don't have a clue who he is talking to or what he is saying but you can tell he means business.

There's literally a thousand ways to capture that one. Good find.

I love Torry, but give me the good Reverend all day long on this one.

Bruce was forced off the Rams and signed with the 9er's in a fit of spite! I forgave him as soon as he left them!

 

[Dodgersrf]

Bruce. Did it before the GSOT years and always was pure class.

This is where I stand.
Bruce was great when we had bad oline play and Chris Miller at QB.

Does anyone remember Alexander Wright? He was the victim of the worst face mask penalty I've ever seen. I think it broke his back.

 

[CodeMonkey]

Bruce, easy answer IMO
Bruce performed like a hall of famer before the GSOT, Holt was a beneficiary of the GSOT

This is like asking which is my favorite kid. It's hard to argue with this line of reasoning though. There was a time when The Reverend was our single point of light.

Bruuuuuuuuuuuce!

I remember this. Back in 2004 @ Seattle we came back to win in OT in a thriller. Bruce goes to the field and lays his helmet on the turf claiming this is the RAMS HOUSE!
Man what a game that was!

I could tell it was a game in SEA but didn't know the circumstances and that is totally badass of Bruce to say that. It for sure explains the look and hand gesture.

Someone should drop some text on that pic that says "you lost bitches".

I saw the end of that game in a hotel bar in Milwaukee after a brutally ugly day. It was a nice pick me up.

Bruce...all day every day....I'd grab Ellard before Holt...And Bruce was a route runner, more clutch with his hands....
Torrey played with one of the greatest offenses of all time as a rookie....so he had a tremendous boost.

He was a nasty and determined blocker too. Faulk got plenty of extra yardage because of Bruce's efforts.

 

[drasconis]

This doesn't really say anything aobut who was better reciever - and I worry we are imlying something bad about Torry with all the talk aobut Bruce and the class person he was, and Torry wasa great individual to by all accounts....

But, I remeber in 1999 when Bruce was in a car accident...no one thought a bad thought, we assumed either it was mechanical failure or the other drive without hearing details....be honest when you hear a player has been in an accident how many of us (maybe only to ourselves) think about drinking or drug use first as the cause? We didn't with Bruce.

 

[Athos]

Ike. That SB TD is one of my earliest football memories.

 

[mr.stlouis]

Bruce for me
