Controversial take is that the only reason Larry gets in the convo as a top 10 WR is because of the two year playoff run with Warner.
I think it was the Packers game in the playoffs in 2016 that cemented him as a great WR at the national level.

Imagine if we could have gotten to the playoffs more often during his career...

Larry had some all-time great numbers when the games mattered the most.

Unless the team can be relevant for a longer period of time where he will have great stats but most people won’t remember watching him Ala Larry Fitzgerald.
Also said this weeks ago.

If Im McBride I give the Cards 2 more years then I force a trade. Zero reason to be with a team that has no idea how to compete and win. Putting up numbers is cool but just like Fitz you will never been considered in serious discussions about GOAT status without winning.

So painful for anyone associated with this loser franchise.

Yeah I’m pretty sure he’s in the convo because when you look at who has the most career receptions and yards.
he’s #2.
Many people, albeit uninformed people, put TO, Calvin, Julio and Andre Johnson above Fitzgerald. A lot of these are engagement farming but he misses these lists.

I think that’s more fantasy football culture than anything. From 2012 to 2020 he finished in the top 10 of fantasy wideouts one time. For the last 10 years of his career he finished in the top 10 in fantasy two times.

He had some exceptional fantasy seasons when these bloggers were still drinking Sunny D.

Ok...regardless of the impact of fantasy football, does that make my statement incorrect? The Warner run precedes the dates you listed.

I think numbers talk. Those other guys had stretches where they were better, but Larry wins out on shear numbers advantage.

TO obviously has more TDs but he always made sure he was in situations with good to great QB play.
