Who are the Top 3 WRs all time in the NFC North?

@Spiel54man

Don Hutson (1930s Packers WR, led NFL in receiving 7 of his 11 seasons, still holds the Packers record with 99 receiving TDs.)

If the helmet worn was made from a cow, it doesn’t count.

I can’t include Huston because he played in an era when there was no NFC. The NFC wasn’t created until 1970. Furthermore, the Vikings didn’t exist as a franchise until 1961.

When Huston played, from 1936-1945, there were only 10 teams.

The Eastern Division consisted of Washington, Brooklyn, New York, Steelers (Pirates), and Eagles.

The Western Division consisted of the Lions, Bears, Packers, Rams, and Cardinals.

Then I’ll put Sterling Sharpe 3rd.

I would put sterling sharpe above Chris Carter. Carter was great but sharpe was special. I’d have loved to see what he would have done if healthy and in another division.

Imagine the numbers Moore would have put up with good quarterbacks.

I’d go Sharpe over Carter for 4 reasons.

1. Sharpe had an advantage in TDs per game .58 to .55
2. Sharpe had an advantage in yds per game 72.63 vs. 59.40
3. Sharpe had double digit TD receptions in 4 out of 8 years; Carter in 6 out of 16 years.
4. Sharpe didn’t have the luxury of having Randy Moss and Jake Reed playing across from him for 4 seasons. Instead, Sharpe had Perry Kemp and Sanjay Beach as his No. 2 WRs for his 1st 4 seasons.

Double edge sword playing with Moss. Yes he drew coverage, but he also drew a lot of stats that would have been Carter’s.
