    Re: Best Receiving Corps

    This is chicken and egg discussion. We could have had Jerry Rice, Gronk and Lynn Swann playing with Carnes - it wouldn't have mattered one bit.

      Re: Best Receiving Corps

      Most fans are going to think theirs is the best, regardless if they knopw what they are talking about or not. Most fans do not see many other receivers either. With that said I think the Eagles are very deep at wide receiver. I am sure there are other individual receivers that would match up with the Eagles, all except Cooper Kupp, but overall the Eagles receiving corps are really good. Part of what contributes to that, aside from the good coaching, is the reputation the Eagles have as a passing team. If a players comes here he can expect to see the ball thrown around a lot so the better receivers want to be in that environment.

          Best receiving group has to be from the Dunbar years, and I don't really think its even close...

          Furrey
          Berlin
          Soliday
          Hannam
          Nofal

            Did those guys all play together? If so, it's not even close.

            The Vereen, LeMaster, Owens group was really solid, but you've got three guys above who played multiple years in the NFL.

              Lindgren, Breeland, Gray, Hunter, Bradley, Surrency had to have been the best, right? 2005

              The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                In my opinion, yes.
                "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

                  Re: Best Receiving Corps

                  Or 2003:

                  Andy Thorn and Cutright at TE's (Beau Gibbs too)
                  Surrency, Eddie Galles, Breeland, Marlus Mays, Lindgren, Bradley.
                  How about those receiving corps?

                      Solid group, however Williams didn't come here until 2006 and Hord's first year was 2007, so those two did not play w/ Hunter/Breeland/Surrency/Goodwin

                        Another solid group but Allen didnt get here until 2006 and Goodwin until 2005

                          Gotcha. Fox Sports had bad info. I'll edit my post.

                            Yeah those guys played together and you could pretty much count on at least 8 catches each from Furrey and Berlin, along with a couple of homerun balls every single game from those two.

                              Did Furrey, Berlin, and Soliday ever play on the same team?
