1. The Aikman, Smith and Irvin ....

Talks about Isaac Bruce on that Greatest Show on Turf era.

Torry Holt was the real bamf at WR for the Rs of that era.

No disrespect to Bruce, he's a legit HOFer and was great.

Holt was the guy who kept you up at night.

100% agree

The Brady one is not even the best triplets involving Brady.


It's not even the best triplets on that Bucs team. That would have to include Evans if anyone, then if you force it you have to go Ronald Jones for that 2020 team, but if not you could go Godwin. But definitely not AB.

For Brady-led teams you could go 2011 with him, Gronk and Welker. Or him, Moss and Welker.

But I think Peyton-Harrison-Wayne or Peyton-Edge-Harrison have a beef with your list.

What is criteria anyway? Does it have to be a team that won the Super Bowl?

Not losing sleep over it. I was trying to talk myself into liking smith during that draft. He’s better than our WRs but that’s not saying much.

than Swann?

Montana-Rice-Craig. Roger Craig over 2K scrimmage yards that year. 10 TDs.

Roger Craig should be in the HOF.

Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed.

JFC, Montana, Rice, Craig...?

Staubach, Dorsett, Pearson

because they didn't have to, but Griese, Csonka, and Warfield were a great trio.

Denver with any combination of:

Elway, Davis, Smith/Sharpe/McCaffrey

Denver with any combination of:

95 receptions, 1200 yards. Closest to that number for us is Slayton (46 receptions, 724 yards).

I like Slayton a lot, but he's not a true "X". Smith is, the Eagles/Dallas trade really screwed us.

This year, 87 rec; 1046 yards.

Those are not his rookie stats. That was this year. And those are good numbers but, jones Barkley and smith being top trio is laughable.

groups and what usually gets lost in the conversation is the quality of the offensive lines. Rams, Dallas, Steelers, Bucs, etc. From good to outstanding to some of the all time great lines.

Each of these dynamic groups had different balance they used on offense regarding pass/run but all had quality OL's.

This is where the basketball on grass fools get it wrong.

If Devonta Smith is a Giant, Judge may still be coaching here. Everything happens for a reason.

Your point about Triplets is well-taken though. I'd go back to the Eli/Jacobs/Plax too. Either play 8 in the box to take away Jacobs (get ripped by Plax deep), or take away the deep ball and let Jacobs run you over.

We have to put defenses in that philosophical bind again.

In a second.

he'd have blown out an acl by now

Lydell Mitchell and Roger Carr from the 70s

Eli, Tiki, Plax would be in the conversation long before Jones, Saquon, Smith.

Lol, I was thinking the same thing. We really do have some kind of curse when it comes to receivers and injuries.

Burress - freak shooting accident
Nicks - knee injury shortened his career
Cruz - knee injury shortened his career
Steve Smith - knee injury shortened his career
OBJ - ankle injury took away a lot of his explosiveness
Golladay - who the hell knows, I’m guessing that hip is bad
Manningham - knee issues one of the reasons he wasn’t kept
Shepard - injured constantly
Wan’Dale - tore ACL rookie season

Mahomes
Hill
Kelce

Smith wasn’t a rookie this season

Chase missed 5 games this season. He’s a #1 receiver, while Smith is a really good #2

Agree! I would say… 2006 was one of our best..
Eli 24 TDs over 3,000 yds
Tiki 2,000 total yds
Plax 988 Rex yds 10 TDs
Shockey over 600 yds 7 TDs

Also 2008 when both Ward and Jacobs had over 1.000 yds rushing

......Montana, Rice, and Craig certainly more deserving than....Ricky Watters? LOL

Kelly, Thomas, and Reed easily should be there too.

The Tampa Triplets played together not even 2 seasons. Plus there's no RB. Hard pass.

And you're way overrating Devonte Smith in terms of him putting that group in the top 5.. Do you know how many very good WRs there are in the NFL......he's a good WR nothing exceptional IMO.

Wouldn't even blink an eye.

One is an impact player, the other is not.

Csonka, Warfield

Warner, Fitz and Boldin was a very good one.

He’s not great. Numbers are inflated because the Eagles have a better WR on their team. I’m not concerned we didn’t pick Smith. If we had Smith it’s more likely we only have Neal and not Thibs. Thibs will have a great impact than Smith in the NFL.

montana rice craig over young rice watters?

I agree with this.

Some more on Smith. He was drafted Top 10 yet the Eagles knew they still needed a legit #1.

That's because Smith will never be that. He's good, but will never be a #1. He's always going to be a #2 mainly due to his size (which may also limit his career), and by comparison, there are ton of WRs that are analogous to him.

The pick for all three teams was Parsons.

Moss and Carter was pretty solid in ‘99

Antonio Brown was the #3 receiver on that team. Also the r way the list was going i thought it had to be QB, RB, WR.

Why the hell is Mahomes, Hill, Kelce not on this list?

When was he ever anything when playing with Brady?

This is correct. I'd even take Eli, Bradshaw, Cruz.

is that Larry Allen and Orlando Pace would get added to the top 2.

The Cowboys Big 3 is really interesting. I feel like it's so hard to figure out exactly what % of the credit should go to one guy and not the other. It really was a complete team effort that led them to being so overwhelmingly dominant.

The Rams were so insane to watch. Faulk might be my favorite RB to watch ever, so complete.
