Anyways, I've extended this debate long-enough; for the 90th (and last) time, (not directed to you, Essex) I know you can't compare the two because of era, thus the only way to compare is to compare TO THEIR ******* PEERS, FFS.

Chad led the conference in yards, 4 straight years and the league, once. Holds every team WR record and was among the top 3 WRs in the league, from 2003-2007 (5 years), whereas Curtis wasn't even top 5 for any year, save for maybe 1975.

AMONGST THEIR PEERS, CHAD WAS BETTER, FACT.

Again, not saying anything else on this.

He was 2nd in 74, i posted a while ago showing Curtis among his peers was better than Chad among his peers in  2 categories for sure TDs and YPC in their best 5/6 year average.  I agree two areas f where Chad excelled was in receptions/yards among his peers.  You can;t compare their numbers since different eras....but if you look at their top 5/6 years among their peers, it is much closer than you want to make it out to be .  that is a FACT....  and as I stated.. as i stated Curtis created something because of his talent that Chad did not.. the NFL put in what was termed the "Curtis Rule" because they were roll blocking him off the line.. I think that is a good indication of also of how good Curtis was as a WR, I wish injuries did not take some of his greatness away but it around 77/78 season since he was for sure on pace to challenge for a spot in HOF..

In the end we are splitting hairs between two great WRs of different eras here.. but I give the nod to Curtis to be in HOF since he played with greatest decade of the Bengals, and retired as a Bengal with as much class as you can have...
