Old School:

Josh Reed
Wendell Davis
Eric Martin
Michael Clayton

New School:

Justin Jefferson
Odell Beckham Jr.
Ja’Marr Chase
Jarvis Landry

There is no QB factor in the debate, but let’s pretend this is current football in the Pass Happy targeting Era

The majority of posters here have never seen that first group play.

That being said, I'll take the new class.

Give me the old group. They produced when defense was actually played.

Before any tards lose their shite, yes the new group is elite in every way.

Before the 'new school' the best NFL receivers from LSU were Bowe and Kennison. There's NO debate.

New group easily. Way flashier and just better overall athletes by far. it's really not close and to prove it compare their NFL careers compared to the list of old school. Several have potential to be HOF players if they continue on their trajectory.

Every player in the New School class has broken some sort of record in the NFL.

Ball control offense, the older group
Big play offense, the younger group
Depends on your offensive mindset.

As an old-timer, I would pick the new group. But it’s closer than those who never saw the first group play think it is. Especially if you’re talking college career as opposed to NFL career.

Eric Martin, a converted running back, broke the SEC career receiving yards record in the early eighties.

Wendell Davis broke Martin’s SEC career receiving yards record and was a two-time All American and the SEC player of the year in 1987.

Josh Reed, another converted running back, again broke the SEC career receiving yards record, was a consensus All American, and was awarded the Belitnikof award as the best receiver in the nation.

Michael Clayton was also a fine receiver and all around football player.

Chase and Jetts are both much better than Davis or Reed. Landry and Martin are a draw. Beckham is much better than Clayton. This is not a close call.

But if you have a running team, it's the old school.
