[QUOTE="bobgodd, post: 460969, member: 6205"] The reason that he was able to play offense and defense (in my opinion) is because the lack of athletic talent surrounding him. I won't take away anything from the man, he was probably ahead of his time... But to say that he was so good he played safety AND receiver is only part of the tale. Rice's rules might have been better than in the 40's but they're not the same pass-happy offense-first rules that we have to endure in the NFL today. Not to say that popularity is the measure of a great player, but I must ask; when the mention of the best WR ever comes about, why is Rice always the conclusion? There's no incentive for people to pick Jerry Rice over anyone else... They don't get extra raffle tickets or anything... [/QUOTE]
