like I said, just my opinion...the 10 spot are really a toss up..bryant could easily be there..hell..after the top 3 you could argue a lot of ways 
that's what makes sports awesome to debate

I don't see how... based off of the criteria listed

You have to look at guys who have been in the league a while and have produced at all-pro levels consistently.
Calvin Johnson has hands down been the best WR for a while now. Given that he is the primary target of about 75% of Stafford's passes and he is still putting up those numbers. Andre Johnson is in the same boat as Calvin, and he has done well for himself also. Probably my most controversial placement I would say would be Wes Welker. He may be a product of a system, however, he's had some of the better stats at WR the past few years playing in the slot. He may not have that breakaway speed, or the height to go up and catch a jump ball, but he racks up yardage and TDs.

It was the order he had the guys in...
I'm sorry, there is no way I am taking anyone else at WR in the league in front of Andre Johnson other than Calvin Johnson. He had Andre in 8th. That's BEYOND ridiculous. Larry Fitzgerald has been stuck playing behind shitty QB after shitty QB aside from Kurt Warner, and look what he did with Warner. I realize that this is all opinion based, but I just can't see any justification to have anyone other than Calvin, Andre, and Larry as the top 3 WRs.

Bmarsh is way better than 7th? And then you ranked him 6th?

I'm worse. I had Andre 10th, and I admit it is undeserved.
Andre finished second in total yards and second in yards receiving per game.
But, age and injury just has me putting him lower on this list and I recognize that is unfair.

Wow
Posted on 6/13/13 at 8:10 pm to iliveinabox
Based on "QB play" then he should be ranked lower just on that.
Regardless of the QB megatron is the better WR. It's close but not THAT close.
Welker? Holy frick. Is that the great white hope for ya'll? Like the one garbage RB that was the toast of the town a couple years ago for being the lone white RB?
Welker is coming off a pretty big injury and is old (nfl years) top 15 sure but top 8?

If OP had said top 10 WR to build your franchise with for the next 5 years, then yes I could see dropping Andre down due to age and injury concerns. However, it was simply statistics, consistency, talent, and QB play.. Johnson has been top a top 3 WR every year except 2010 and 2011 when he battled injuries. Last year, he was second in yards, but only had 4 TDs because Houston was a run heavy team and Matt Schaub has dropped off tremendously.

Then Wes Welker should be in your top 10. Not sure if anyone has matched his consistency in recent years. Definitely not the best receiver in the league, especially talent wise, but he deserves a top 10 spot. I'd probably put him in the 7-10 range.
Pretty damn ridiculous

Yeah, I agree. I admit that my list wasn't really what the thread called for. I love Andre Johnson, and I loved how he changed his game this past season. You gotta love a guy that will adjust his game as he gets older.

I ranked him second. I only ranked five guys.
Bmarsh = Marshall.
I do not have an order for the next five, but I think it would include:
Roddy
Dez
Cruz
Julio
Welker
