NFL Live top 5 receiver tandems
 

5 carolina
4dallas
3.cinci
2indy
1arizona


I agree with 1-3, but seriously dallas and carolina 4 and 5? I feel we should be 4 or 5. Even though Dallas has T.O., Glenn is still isn't amazing, but i'll give that because everyone sweats Dallas. Carolina should not be on this list over us. Lets look at it this way, S.Smith is a bit better than S.Moss, we all can agree with that. They added Keyshawn, an aging vet, who has been doing nothing be declining since his days in Tampa. Yes he is another desperately needed option for the Panther, but that still is not enough. We added not only one reciever but two, in Lloyd and AR-E. Lloyd lacks experience and hasnt done so well because of his team, and we all know how dangerous Randel-El can be. I think S.Smith+Keyshawn<S.Moss+Lloyd+AR-E. What do you all think?

It is spelled tandem btw lol for all of you who wanted to know.

Re: NFL Live top 5 reciever tandums(sp?)
 

if we were to rank 1-10, who else would make your list?

skins,rams,denver,giants,saints.

Re: NFL Live top 5 reciever tandums(sp?)
 

I don't think that right now Dallas has a better receiving corps than Denver. However, I could understand the argument that Javon Walker is coming off an injury so I guess that makes some sense to me. However, given the success Rod Smith and Javon Walker have had over their respective careers it's gonna be hard to sell me on the idea that TO and Terry Glenn are gonna put up bigger numbers than Walker and Smith.

carolina at #5? i wouldnt trade any of our receivers for keyshawn johnson

Yeah I was thinking that too, I might trade Taylor Jacobs. I would def keep A.Cash..lol ever since the scrimmage I really like this guy.

Re: NFL Live top 5 receiver tandems
 

What about Randy Moss and Jerry Porter in Oakland?

Re: NFL Live top 5 receiver tandems
 

With Owens and Glenn banged up, maybe this is a ranking for tandem bikes.

[QUOTE=TAFKAS;201665]What about Randy Moss and Jerry Porter in Oakland?[/QUOTE]

I had the same thought when I initially read the list. However, I am under the assumption that they don't think Porter will be a Raider this season. I mean, he's taking a pretty firm stance about wanting to be traded and I don't even know if he's in camp right now.

On a side note...Have you seen JP this year? That kid is jacked up! He earned my respect last season when he hung onto the ball after ST gave him everything he had. I mean, I thought that was a wrap for the game and not only did Porter hang on, he came back into the game. I mean, he came off the field, but I was surprised he was able to return. That was one of the sickest hits I've seen ST lay on someone and he hung onto the ball and then later returned to the game. That has me taking my hat off to him.

However, I don't support his antics as of right now, but everybody's gotta make business decisions.

Re: NFL Live top 5 receiver tandems
 

I don't think we're number one, but I definately dont think TO and Glenn could be put in a category above us. If they're basing on numbers they should combine TO and glenns numbers last year... dont add up to much...

Pure numbers could be the only explaination for not mentioning Moss and Lloyd together... and Lloyd's starting QB for most of last year finished with like 1 td and 11 ints... right??

F the naysayers... our offense is loaded and they could put a drunk monkey at QB this year and have him heave balls blindly out there and we'd have at least 2 1000 yard recievers and a 1500 yd rusher....

If you are going to judge the numbers accurately you would to project T.O.'s over a whole season. Last year he was on pace to have his best year ever and Glenn had a great year (for him). T.O.'s would have been better than Moss'. Lloyd had no QB, still put up some decent games, but fell way short of Glenn.

Re: NFL Live top 5 receiver tandems
 

[quote=TAFKAS;201665]What about Randy Moss and Jerry Porter in Oakland?[/quote]Porter has a weird situation. He hasnt produced and he is unhappy with his role. The potential there, but I wouldn't put the Raiders in the top ten since Porter isn't helping his team.

Re: NFL Live top 5 receiver tandems
 

One to watch out for this year could be Andre Johnson and Eric Moulds. I think Carr will really step it up under Kubiak this year and he's got two good receivers to help him.

Porter wants out of of Oakland, plus he is way up there in age.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves folks. We Brandon Lloyd as our #2 which isn't saying a lot. Keyshawn is prove even though he whine quite a bit. As for Dallas, Glen is certainly better than our #2, well, a surer player anyways.

Porter just turned 28. That's not all that old. Plus he wanted out of Oakland last year too and he still put decent numbers. Granted, he's done better.

Re: NFL Live top 5 receiver tandems
 

Ariz 1 with Fitz and Bolden, right? Just think you have to take into consideration where a "tandem" takes a team, and so far, Ariz "tandem" hasn't taken them anywhere! So how can they be ranked higher than Carolina or Dallas?

Ok, but you are putting too much just on the receivers. Ari has not had an O-line since forever and lets not for get about not having a running game and yet Boldin and Fritzgerald still both put up 1400 yard seasons each. Given the state that the team is in that is still pretty amazing!!

Re: NFL Live top 5 receiver tandems
 

Guess we will see if Fitz and Bolden are the best this season given James now on the team. Have they improved the O-line? And can Warner stay healthy until Linhert shows? It'll be worth watching.

If anything one would think that James should do well with having two pro-bowl type recievers on the outside. I should open up some lanes for him, and they did draft that o-line man from USC. I agree that the big question is Warners durability...

Right. If they're not considering how crappy SAN FRANCISCO'S offense was when considering Lloyd, why not consider the fact TO only played a third of a season? Bullshit.

Re: NFL Live top 5 receiver tandems
 

didn't espn rank them in the top 5 of the receiving category on sportscenter like a month ago?

Re: NFL Live top 5 receiver tandems
 

Aren't we looking at the wrong thing? What is this "tandem" crap? For you young whippersnappers who have brain freeze, we had the BEST trandam, just made that up, but I mean we had the best THREE, (3 for you folks in Rio Linda), best receivers in the league; Monk,Clark and Sanders (ask Denver). That's where we are today so forget about tandems! GO WITH THREE!

You rather have Terry Glenn than Brandon Lloyd? I completely disagree.

Lloyd makes catches that Glenn couldn't dream about and his whole career is in front of him. Glenn was washed up 3 years ago. Last year was a fluke.

Re: NFL Live top 5 receiver tandems
 

No, they are right. We have the best TRIO! Or quadro.

Rod Smith didn't retire?? Thought he did.

Nope he still is there. Huh, oh well.

Actually I'd have to give the best trio to Indy. One year removed from all 3 guys having over 1000 yard seasons? That's pretty tough to beat.

So you're saying TO's season was circumstantial, but Lloyd's wasnt???

All things even and in current circumstances I think we have a better tandem at reciever. Mainly because we have 2 different types of recievers in Moss and Lloyd, who can open up a playbook with possibilities, where glenn and TO are pretty much the same body type, build and type of reciever.

I'm not at all saying TO and Glenn arent good, I just honestly think we're better. Brandon Lloyd will be widely heralded around here next season. jmho....

I don't see it. I think that T.O. and Glenn are complete opposites. Fairy is not a possesion receiver as he only hurts you downfield. Glenn does not have what it takes to hurt you over the middle (see Dallas game). I would say that Moss' body type is closer to Glenn's than T.O.'s. T.O. is a beast and against most D.B.'s (not named B. Dawkins, or G. Reaper) he takes short passes creates space and is a threat on short, medium and deep plays. That is why T.O. is so good he can hurt a secondary in every way imaginable.

Moss and Glenn kill you with speed but Moss is definitely a step above Glenn. The wide reciever screen against K.C. last year completely changed how I viewed Moss. I knew that Moss could go over the top, but I didn't know that he was fast enough to create a bad angle for a safety. That play was disgusting.

Bottom line. T.O. is at least a tier better Moss and a few tiers better than Lloyd. I think that Moss and Lloyd are better than Glenn but not enough to give the edge to us.
