Best WR in the NFL?

Exactly. Good/great QBs can make even average receivers look good. BR has a knack for finding receivers down field even when a play looks broken.

The O-Line has a lot to do with it as well. The best QB in the world will have issues if the D is always in his face. There are a few that seem to thrive under pressure, but they are freaks.

Agreed, but the Steelers o-line hasn't always been good. BR seems to make something out of nothing. Rogers is similar in that manner. Brady just gets rid of the ball so fast it doesn't matter.

They still aren't good. They just get away with a lot of holding. They were getting called for it when they played Philly. Just sayin.

None of them compare to Calvin

On the other hand, A great WR can make an average QB look good.

Julio Jones needs some more love in this thread. I'd take him over Brown because he's physically more dominant.

It's really hard to choose between the two, they're really on a tier by themselves, with AJ Green and Odell in the next tier.

Beckham is overrated imo.  He makes 1 ridiculous catch and suddenly people think he is a god.  If he didn't get thrown off his game so easily by simple school yard taunting maybe I'd rank him higher but for now I think he belongs in the "still needs to prove himself" pile.

Anyway, with Calvin Johnson gone I think the best is probably Dez Bryant, or yes even old man Larry Fitzgerald.

I think in terms of spotlight, Beckham is the go-to favorite because he's got freakish hands and is quite the personality which really draws a lot of attention to himself. But if I were to be starting a franchise and were able to pick a WR to be my #1, I would absolutely choose Julio Jones. He is more of an athlete than Beckham or Brown. He is more physical than the others as well and still puts up higher numbers despite being the only passing threat on his team which teams can key in on. Beckham is incredibly explosive but less consistent and not as much of a physical player as Julio while Antonio Brown is very reliant on his QB play or else he simply is not a Top5 receiver.
