Imagine Landry in an offense where he is the top dawg WR like Reed was. Talk about a monster year catching the ball.


That's the thing we'll never know. I've never seen Reed drop a ball either. Odell compliments him well. He'd see more double teams if Beckham wasn't there. Reed saw double teams and still got open. I love Landry but I think Reed was freaking unbelievable. Hell they are both unbelievable.

Landry really doesn't stretch the field. Beckham did that. He opened the field up for everyone else.

Lester Earl, I'm with you 100%! Screw all the statistics, were talking the best hands here! There's nobody that can compare to Landry in this discussion!

It's not that Landry just doesn't drop a ball, but that he takes it away from who ever is around him. I think he went to the Jerry Rice school of brick catching. In fact, Landry is Jerry Rice, but with even better hands.

neither did Jerry Rice. He just caught everything that was thrown in his direction.

No shout out for Michael Clayton, I'm surprised! Whoever says Dwayne Bowe is a fool!

Did you guys ever see Reed drop a ball? ... Nope! So, hands... Hard to say Landry is better. Reed didn't have another receiver on the team as good as him. Both are great.

Great hands but under sized and a mediocre athlete

Remind me of Hines Ward

Bowe was a monster. Put him on the routes Landry runs and he'd roll people.

I really like Landry. I think you're right in that if I had to pick one guy to make a catch, it'd be him. But I'd rather have the guy who can create better separation, run all the routes, is better after the catch etc etc etc.

I was a big Josh Reed fan at the time, but don't recall all the acrobatic catches. I think you present a very strong case as the better overall receiver, but when were talking hands, I just don't recall Reed making the plays Landry has

Convince him to come back and we'll call him the greatest of all time.

Never said he was

Both are tough, sure-handed WR's that lack size and speed.

He'll be relegated to the slot at the next level.

???WTF



so was Jerry Rice I suppose. Maybe not burning speed but is quick, incredible hands, hard to bring down after the catch, good strength for a wr, balance and awareness.

Beckham and Landry are two different style receivers! Beckham can run routes better because he's quicker and that's why he will get drafted higher than Landry! YES BECKHAM WILL GET DRAFTED BEFORE LANDRY!

Wendell Davis made some outstanding catches. So sad he blew out both knees early in his NFL career.
