He never won a championship, but his character and team impact are second to none…. except Rice.
Dude never even retired, he just faded into the sunset.

NFL Superstar Accused of Baby Mama Beatdown
Larry Fitzgerald -- the star wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals -- has been ordered to stay away from his baby mama and his 11-month-old son after he allegedly knocked her around a room and pulled her hair out.
www.tmz.com
"Later, when she tried to leave with her son, Nazario says Fitzgerald "grabbed the back of my neck and slammed me down on the marble floor ... was disoriented for awhile and could not get up, I remember he mumbled something about 'that's what happens when you try taking my son away from me.'" As she got in the car to leave she realized she had lost "chunks" of hair."

Terrell Owens worst season in yards per catch is higher than Fitz career.
A meh 5 yard pass to Owens was potential trouble because he was scary strong/fast.

I'll accept arguments for Fitz, TO, Moss, Steve Largent, or Megatron for number two well below Jerry Rice at #1.
This video shows how far ahead of everyone else Rice was after the 2020 season.

TO and Randy are the two most dangerous WR's to ever the play the game and are both 2nd in my book behind Jerry.
TO ram and played with a fury and passion you just don't see anymore and Randy, was just unfuckwithable at the deep ball.
If Calvin wouldn't have retired, he might have ascended….but alas.
I don't even think Larry is Top 5 really.

Most physically gifted receiver I've ever seen... Talking about Johnson.
The continued ineptitude of the Lions made him retire before he needed to.
Antonio Brown was better than Fitz until he went crazy from that dirty hit by Burfict.
Of the players I have seen in the last 40+ years of watching football after Rice the best receiver of all time is Moss IMO.
Going back to Brown is there a nastier combo of dirtbags than Big Ben and Brown in their primes for qb and receiver?

Fitz is really good, but off the top of my head I can think of:
Moss, Rice, Owens, AB, and Megatron as being better.
I'd say Fitz is a few tiers below with guys like Marvin Harrison, Andre Johnson, Steve Smith, Torry Holt, etc which definitely isn't a knock on him.

Well he didn't do much after he left Pittsburgh so I guess you could say that.
But neither guy is top two when Moss and Rice exist.
I think Larry had the best hands and catch radius of any receiver to play in the NFL. I'd put him at least top 5 for sure, but it's tough competition when you consider Moss, Owens, etc.
As a side note, Terry's hands aren't as good but he's clearly Larry's successor. Just look at who's thrown him touchdowns in the NFL. Disgusting.

It's Rice, Moss and Megatron. I could see Fitz and TO battling for 4th/5th though.
sometimes I like coming back to this video because it's such crazy domination. Like the WR version of Barry @ OK State.

this is slightly off topic, but OP said it so I think it's fair game. Why do we qualify shit like this with statements like, "He never won a championship?" Larry Fitzgerald is perhaps the best example of why that is dumb. if the cards defense stops pittsburgh, then Larry had an amazing super bowl winning catch in the final minutes. literally out of his control as to whether or not one narrative takes place (what happened) vs. the other (super bowl winning hero).

As a Seahawks fan, I will offer up the obligatory "Steve Largent". Was not alive while he played, but watching those highlights growing up stunned me as a kid. To imagine what he could have done with a QB as talented as Dan Marino or Joe Montana...
But also as a Seahawks fan, I know all too well how utterly dominant Fitzgerald - he would make catches that were just unbelievable. Not sure I'd have him as number 2, but I don't think he gets the credit he deserves. Had the Cardinals defense not allowed Pittsburgh to drive down at the end of Super Bowl 43, I think this would be a very different conversation

Moss is the best I've seen. No knock on Fitz, but Moss is a friggin' alien. I only saw Jerry Rice mostly in his post-prime years, so it's of course not fair to compare, but Moss was a special kind of athlete.
