Chris Carter also off the top of my head.
No WR had more tds than Pickens from 94-96.
Only 3 WR had more catches and they all played for much better teams than Picken's Bengals. Rice's Forty-niners made the playoffs all three years and won a Super Bowl. Both Chris Carter's Vikings and Herman Moore's Lions made the playoffs twice. Meanwhile the Bengals only went 18-30.
Not saying is is a really strong argument, but there is at least an argument to be made that Pickens was just as good as them, but his stats were stunted by the poor team around him.
