Not sure it's true-it's Twitter after all, but Tweets saying this is the top 10 and most
are complaining about Hirsch.
this is the 'evidence' which seems legit

Hirsch, to me, is borderline HOF....JohnH19 wrote:I'm fine with all but Hirsch.
what?! Agree about Hirsch, he doesn't have the body of work over a career to merit being on the team. Howton was the best WR of the 50s imo. But I suppose he'll never stop getting undue credit for 1951, it is what it is.7DnBrnc53 wrote:I would take off Berry, Crazylegs, and Harrison.

As a Steelers fan, even I can't agree with that. If forced to choose between Swann and Stallworth, it would be a tough choice but I would choose Stallworth. Both were tremendous postseason receivers, and it could be argued that the Steelers would not have won Super Bowl X without Swann and would not have won Super Bowl XIV without Stallworth. Swann was flashier, but Stallworth's career was considerably longer, although he was injured quite a bit more. When you compare Swann and Stallworth's career stats per 16 scheduled regular season games, they come out nearly identical, Stallworth 40 catches, 643 yards, 5 TD, Swann 39 catches, 638 yards, 6 TD's. I think both belong in the Hall of Fame, but are lower-tier receivers within the Hall of Fame, and neither would be in the HOF without the 4 Super Bowl rings.7DnBrnc53 wrote:I would take off Berry, Crazylegs, and Harrison.

The WR list is going to be interesting...I think after Rice/Hutson, you have a lot of arguments. I remember Mike Tanier being against Warfield, Cliff Christl told me he wouldn't have cast a HOF vote for Steve Largent, etc. Of the HOF WRs not in the top 10, I think Charley Taylor and Don Maynard could have a case to be included at the bottom of the list. Pete Pihos as well, depending on how you classify his position.JohnTurney wrote:It’s Alworth, Berry, Fitz, Marvin Harrison, Hirsch, Hutson, Largent, Moss, Rice, and Warfield
