Isaac Bruce has to be the most impressive. Think of his career, where he was the number one wide receiver, with the likes of Chris Chandler, Chris Miller, and Tony Banks throwing to him from 1994-1998. Kurt Warner was a revelation in 1999, but soon Torry Holt was the best as Rev Ike declined. Bruuuuuuuuuuuucee!

Bruce and Holt should be 1 and 2. They played when the defenses were prepared for the pass both mentally and physically but they still couldn't be stopped.
 
No Brian Quick....ok, ok....I shouldn't need blue font for that one either.....matter of fact....

Mike Thomas.oops:unsure::whistle::redcard:..Marquez North..My "new :heh:Quick":shades::popcorn:

Henry Ellard was better than people think....Flipper Anderson HAD HOF talent...so did Henry...Preston Dennard was pretty good too. Check out the Snow highlights as well...

Ron Brown....I wish he'd have gotten more targets...

Top 5 is great...some of those guys didn't have Waterfield, NVB, Warner, or even a Bulger throwing them the ball.

No to Lloyd?

For what he accomplished as a Ram? Heck no
Was only on the team for 10 games, had a terrible attitude, quit on routes and only caught about 40% of the passes thrown his way.
Heck Chris Givens was better as a rookie
 
In their prime these guys were usually paired with another great WR (Fears-Hirsh, Ellard-Anderson, Bruce-Holt) and usually had good QB play. I cannot really rank Fears and Hirsh since I did not se them play. From 1976 to present my top four would be Bruce first followed by Holt, Ellard, and Anderson.

Dave, you mentioned Proehl, but not Az-Zahir Hakim? Hakim was dynamic and definitely deserves to be mentioned.

I feel like Holt and Bruce are somewhat taken for granted just because of how good that offense was.

They won a SB and were catalysts in a record breaking offense. Can't do anything but list them as 1 and 2 imo.

So our #1 WR in yards, receptions, and TDs is #2 on the list. Okay. . . .

And two of those guys probably couldn't play in the modern NFL.

And most stars in any sports in the 40s and 50s would not be able to be competitive now...That's apples and oranges to me...

Your absolutely Right! My Bad! When I started compiling my list I started with "Flipper", Because I thought of him and Everett 1st and then went back in time! My mistake!!:oops:
But I did ask at the end "Who did I miss!!:D Missing "Az" was a Bad miss though!!:hiding:

I did see Fears and Hirsh and you can take my word for it, they belong in the top 5!
BUT!!! I really feel it's impossible to do a TOP 5 Rams WR List! Too many GREATS spread out over several different Era's!! AND THEY ALL COULD PLAY TODAY!! I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS!!!!

I think Lloyd - Amendola and Britt where pretty equal. JMHO!

Different roles, but when you said that it made me think ... all we needed was to have all three of them on the team at one time and we'd have seen a much better offense.
