I feel strongly that Don Hutson redefined the WR position and indelibly changed the nature of the game. Without discounting Hutson in any way, he benefited from his novel evolution of the position to separate himself from his peers. Rice was a tremendously gifted athlete who then pushed himself to outwork every other gifted athlete to be the greatest of all time at his position. His stats are not the defining example of his greatness, they are the confirmation of his greatness.Sharpe, Largent, Moore, Monk, Lofton, and others were all outstanding WRs but clearly a rung below Rice.My last soapbox issue is to state that great players make those around them great (as we're seeing again with Rodgers), so I never fully buy into the argument that Rice benefited from having Montana. One has to concede that it possibly was the other way around.</blockquote>
