[QUOTE="Big Dan, post: 314613, member: 2728"] I'm not sure about that part. Jennings is the best of the bunch as a deep threat, but Freeman was no slouch by any means. I love Driver, but Robert Brooks was the best over-the-middle receiver I ever saw. He was absolutely monstrous in YAC, turning a lot of those quick slants into [I]big[/I] gains. It's too bad his career was cut way too short by injury. If I had to pick Jones & Nelson or Rison & Bebe for my 3rd and 4th receivers, I'd take Rison and Bebe. Any one of the 4 are/were big-play capable, but I think Rison & Bebe were more reliable. Jones & Nelson just have too many drops and missed assignments. If and when they "grow out of it" that call could quite possibly go the other way. I kind of left Desmond Howard out on purpose. He was an okay receiver, but what he did on Special Teams was incomparable, and I agree that the '96 Special Teams were lightyears ahead of this year's. We don't have anyone on this year's team to even try and make a comparison to Howard on Special Teams. It's close, but if I had to pick either the '96 group as a whole or today's group as a whole, I'd take the '96 group. [/QUOTE]
