You know damn well the passing stat now are super inflated compared to then with all of the rules changes.

I think when dez retires he will be on top though if he gets a ring.

Irvin was the heart and soul of 3 super bowl champions

Keyshawn doesn't belong in the same sentence as the other 3.

TO was definitely better than Dez is so far. TO is one of the best receivers of all time. He put up better stats and in an era where receiving numbers were lower. Irvin put up pretty crazy receptions/receiving yards numbers as well but he was never a TD machine like Dez.

1. TO
2. Irvin
3. Dez


4. Keyshawn

Like I said at this point Irvin is better but Irvins career is complete. He was the big straw stirring the drink on 3 SB winners....he was more than his stats. But....Dez is on his way to the ring of honor. He will get. Paid.

How could anybody that knows anything about football say that Dez is better than TO. TO is one of the top 5 WR of all time.

Need someone who cares more than me to post receptions per TD ratio. Dez has not had to deal with a RB like Smith taking touches away.

its a team game and TO is a locker room divider.

his skills are unquestioned but his drama issues are huge negative that should absolutely be considered.

Irvin
TO

Irvin was the best of this bunch. Irvin also was an outstanding blocker. He played when they were not airing it out like today and the defense was able to grab, hit and maul the receiver.

Irvin TO Dez Keyshawn

Bullet Bob and Tony Hill deserve mention also

Keyshawn was the second best 19 WR in team history.

From the 4 WR listed by the OP, I would probably go.
1. Dez
2. TO
3. Irvin
4. Keyshawn

I agree with the one dude in this thread that Keyshawn shouldn't be compared with the other 3. Keyshawn was never a good NFL WR IMO.
