Which quarterback-wide receiver duo was or is the best ?

[centristgrandpa]

(then)Dan Fouts and Charlie Joiner

"Go Chargers"

long time Bolt fan..

[trumad]

1. Marino Duper---Marino Clayton

[Captain Hilts]

2. Sonny Jurgensen and Charlie Taylor. Lombardi said with Jurgensen at QB, Green Bay never would have

lost a game and the rest the NFL would have filed an anti-trust suit.

[Kingofalldems]

4. Seconded

Sonny was the best.

3. Montana to Rice....

I beat Upton to this one...:)

[Captain Hilts]

6. Of the modern era, 'yes' to this one. We really need pre and post-ginned up rules categories. nt

[BulletproofLandshark]

12. Without a doubt.

I don't even see why there's a debate on this. Manning-Harrison and Kelly-Reed were damned good ones too, though.

[joeybee12]

14. Yup, no question...far above the rest...n/t

[Captain Hilts]

17. The bump and run rules were changed in the 70s making long passes easier. nt

[Condem]

5. Joe Namath-Don Maynerd.

Never forget '69. It changed the game.

[Captain Hilts]

7. 'Maynard', I believe. And I remember Eddie Bell too. nt

[Condem]

8. I questioned my spelling, ther, Captain.

Thanks for catching.

[Captain Hilts]

9. Glad to, it keeps with the receivers theme here...nt

[JonLP24]

10. Steve Young to Jerry Rice

They connected more times then Montana to Rice.

[El Supremo]

11. Roger Staubach to Drew Pearson

The Hail Mary Pass:

16. Thanks for the post, El.

THE CATCH!!

[MrSlayer]

13. The aforementioned Montana/Rice combo.

Never seen better, maybe never will.

[Poiuyt]

15. Arnie Herber/Don Hutson

Don't laugh. Hutson still owns the career TDs/game average

[DaveinMD]

18. Montana-Rice

Bradshaw-Stallworth
Aikman Irvin
Brady Moss for one year so far

[Onceuponalife]

19. Kurt Warner to Isaac Bruce

No question.

[trotsky]

20. Manning-Harrison

C'mon, people. Harrison set a new mark for catches in a season that will probably NEVER be broken. I mean, he smashed the old record by like 20 catches.

[BlooInBloo]

21. Young --> Rice. Duh.

[mix]

22. .

[Awsi Dooger]

23. Johnny Unitas to Raymond Berry deserves a mention

That combo seems to be absent in this thread, among the all time famous duos.

My favorite was Griese to Warfield, sparingly but deadly. More than 20 yards per reception for his career and well above that during the Dolphins' early '70s heyday. I think Warfield had one year of 25+ yards per catch. Plus he was a phenomenal blocker.

[Forkboy]

25. Now you're talking.

[pfloydguy7750]

24. Marino Duper

[charlie and algernon]

26. Montana-Rice, but you have to imagine what Young-Owens would've looked like

Owens had over 2500 yards and 26 Touchdowns in the 3 seasons when Young was healthy. I'd imagine that if Young had lasted until 2005 with Owens as his main target, they would've have done some real damage to the league.

[Arkana]

27. Brady to Moss.

Heh.
