Default Jim Fassel and the ultimate WR

I was watching Jim Fasel on ESPN's FirstTake, and he had to build the ultimate WR.

Here is how Fasel answered
Best Hands - Randy Moss
Best Route runner - Randy Moss
Strongest - T.O.
Smartest - Torry Holt
Thoughness -Marvin Harrison


I like Moss for what he is doing this season, but if I had to build the ultimate WR with what is given,
Best Hands - Larry Fitzgerald(Cards)
Best Route runner - Steve Smith(Panthers)
Strongest - Hines Ward(Steelers)
Smartest - Torry Holt(Rams)
Toughness - Troy Brown(Patriots)

No way any WR in the league has better hands than Moss.

No one.

If you add quickest, I think Wes Welker has to factor in. I'd say TO is the strongest without a doubt, though David Givens would give him a run if he wasn't chronically injured... and Calvin Johnson is a huge, strong guy, too.

Troy Brown is the toughest receiver I can think of. Spent his entire career going across the middle and getting whomped by opposing players.

Since when is Marvin "Pretty Please Don't Tackle Me" Harrison a tough wideout?

Pundits need to realise that just because he's played till he's 56 doesn't mean he's tough. Just old.

You are going to tell me that Moss has better hands than Larry Fitzgerald. Moss is having a great year, but Fitzgerald is the guy that most coaches, GM, or whoever would choose. Moss is having a wonderful year, but his hands are not as good as Fitzgerald.

With regards to hands and football IQ, nobody beats Moss.

NOBODY.

I agree with you on Troy Brown and forgot about him.

Jim Fassel disagrees.

I agree that Moss is easily the best route runner. Ive never seen a receiver that sets up his cuts with the route PRIOR TO making the cut better than Moss.
The other thing I've seen from Moss, on deep balls, is that he fakes out the DB with how he goes after the catch. There was one pass early this year that was thrown to the outside. Moss stayed straight in line, then when the ball was coming down, reached far out to his right to grab it. The defneder may have gotten in position if Moss drifted toward the ball, but had no chance the way Moss played it.
I'd also give Moss the best in the category of attacking the ball in the air.

Hines Ward as strongest over Owens and Boldin? Ok...
