    I guess it depends how you define great.

    You can definitely be effective and not be a great route runner. I'm not calling KW great, but he had a 94 catch season while getting ripped apart for his routes, or lack of them.

    One 94 catch season doesn't make a player great. Consistently being a top player at his position is what makes a great player. Derek Anderson had a pro bowl season, but I wouldn't call him a great qb.

    You for real?

    Moss has arguably the greatest measurables and athletic skill in NFL history.

    He might not have been the best at doing a hook or comeback route but you know what made him a good route runner? He had great timing, generational acceleration. The way he controlled his speed and threw DBs off was something else. Throw in the fact is he was impossible to defend on post and go routes. There also was no better jump ball player better than Moss, ever.

    His route running just looked "sloppy" because he made everything look so easy. Including 1 handed grabs over 3 defenders.

    A guy that's 6'4, runs a 4.2 forty, 50 inch vertical, and sure hands doesn't come around very often.

    But you know what does seem to come around almost every draft?

    Big sized recievers that can run sub 4.4-4.5, 30 inch verticals, with sub par hands, minimal work ethic that can't learn a playbook.

    So we can't compare Tajae to anyone even if his measurable are the same?

    What if Tajae and Rice have the same favorite restaurant? Would it still be unreasonable to make a comparison?

    Cmon no one was claiming they will put up the same stat line for a career, but Tajae is comparable to Rice in more ways than one

    So every 6'2 200ish WR that runs good routes now gets compared to Jerry? I just think it's silly to ever compare players, let alone to one of the greatest ever. All I was saying.
