That out of the way...

I hate stats like that.

Average yardage per season or per game is a much better stat to look at than a longevity award.


LF - 212 games - 15,157 - YPG 71.49
JR - Taking his 1st 14 seasons - 206 games - 17,612 - YPG 85.50

So you’re saying longevity is the biggest reason Rice is the GOAT

I'd say that 7,000 receiving yards in the NFL is a pretty good/solid career. In fact, only 132 people have ever done that according to pro football reference.

So Jerry Rice has a nice, solid fricking career between him and second place. And let's be reminded that third place is someone that many consider to be the most physically/athletically gifted WR in history.

That's how awesome Jerry Rice is/was.
