Jerry Rice is the indisputable greatest WR


QB, the most important position. can be argued between quite a few players. It's really too hard to name a greatest ever in the sport.

While not the famous player, I like to think the name that is synonymous with football is Lombardi, considering the weight that it carries.

Johnny Unitas.

Edit: lots of youth in this thread when they don't know who revolutionized the game. And it wasn't Rice.

One was the greatest face followed by the greatest heel of all time and was the first true mega cross over star of the industry, the other rode the attitude era wave to a nice run in rasslin.

the two arent even comparable.

Ask anyone under 30 who the GOAT is they will tell you Stone Cold Steve Austin. I am not even sure I would put Hogan ahead of Flair.
