Montana to Rice is the smoothest thing I've seen in football
fitcwebb Yeah, all these Montana deep balls are just dimes
The route running the throws the play calling. Just as smooth as Barry bonds swing or Steph curry's shot
The West Coast Offense was built on timing and created two of the best QBs and THE greatest of all time.
Never seen manning Harrison?
Yea and the most perfect passes you will ever see in football.
You know the dude is one of the GOATs when the highlight reel is more than 10 minutes long for just touchdowns
Hawkeye Plerce what does Goat mean?
Mace37 Greatest Of All Time
one of the goats? more like THE goat
Fred Harvey nah
and the man played for over 20 years so not really Odell's was more then this and he hasn't even played 5 years
Montana's throwing motion and Rice's catches both looked so effortless that they looked like they were playing casual backyard catch. They were embarrassing NFL defenses.
He played in an era when safeties and CB's could take a receivers head off without a flag.
Jerry Rice's secret was his endurance, his deceitful speed, and perfect route running. I never seen a wide receiver so open like Jerry Rice.
So his secret was that he had three secrets? Seems appropriate for the GOAT.
I've watched him for years. In terms of physical stature I related to rice far better than most receivers who were fast and stronger. The one thing that I have not seen any other receiver do as good as Rice was his he had zero wasted movement and could beat guys off of the line of scrimmage and enough years and timing with a hall of fame quarterback and you'll have a sweat connection. Rice looked fast because he could make defenders go off balance which gave him his crazy separation and he could break his route in a flash. I mean just watch him run a hook route and oh my goodness. The one thing his game lacked was making contested catches, but for him those were rare.
Don’t forget he admitted to using stick em when it was banned yet called Tom Brady a cheater jerry rice cheated
Gibster where can i see him run hooks?
Ronnie Varnet stick em wasnt banned yet and he only used it for a time
Montana's throws are perfect, man. WTF
He knows his man will be there and will catch the ball.
They dont call him cool joe for nothing.
bruh bruh they don’t call them highlights for nothing either. Lol
True legends
Ya Joe throws was smooth like butter
Those throws were just dimes! Montana and Young had that accuracy.
That's what stood out to me more than anything... it's why Jerry's accomplishments will never be repeated because the odds of going from one HOF QB to the next without missing a beat doesn't happen very often.
+jon Q umm what about kap and then gabbert ?
Alan Becerra haha, it's like deja vu, right?
Racism.
And Rice had that Stick um......fcku Jerry rice
I’m not a nfl fan. I don’t even understand the rules. But this is absolutely amazing. The way he catches the ball with one hand and then runs with an extreme speed is truly amazing!
That's the thing with the greats, you don't have to know anything about the sport but when you watch them you can tell they're special.
@@cfbaddict7284 yep
Same bruh
Can't argue with Jerry Rice as the GOAT. His work ethic and results are unparalleled.
Ken Arthur yea but Tom Brady is like the greatest of all time
definitely the greatest of all time
chinchecker26
Arguably
SMIRKS only a cowturd fan would say that.
SMIRKS I agree his qb was just good if any of the wrs had that like Odell he would be the greatest
justyn brown Go to sleep little boy.Its past your bedtime.
justyn brown L
that Montana guy was pretty good.
Rice is better
Nah, the G.O.A.T. is Tom Brady.
+Blake McKinley manning.
TUTUMAH Nope, Brady.
Blake McKinley Children please, Mark Sanchez is the 🐑
Greatest receiver of all time uncontested
actually goat in nfl
We Walk Among Giants
There are receivers who are more athletic and talented than rice . He top 5 though
who?
SMIRKS who cares who was more athletic. It's about getting open and making plays. Rice was making plays til he was 40+.
Greatest player of all time
Jerry Rice was football excellence.
GOAT OF WIDE RECEIVERS
L
W
Erikson58 _ GOAT of players, period
Erikson58 _ W
Justin Tucker #Clutch #SpecialTeamsMatters you're a major L
Montana and Young had crazy accuracy on some of these throws
L, he made him self open
Greatest receiver of all time. It was insane to watch him
Truly The Greatest of All Time!!!! Honor he played for
my favorite team. Thanks Jerry
Chrox come from a guy that plays roblox....
dude really just said his fav team was 49ers with a dolphins jersey as a pfp
Jerry Rice had so many Touchdowns in his career that I guess it's impossible to get them all on film. I don't care about fancy catches or degree of difficulty because it's about making plays and No NFL Wide Receiver is even close to Jerry Rice the Goat. Jerry Rice has highlights like nobody period.
The only thing Moss was better than Rice at was going vertical. Watching Rice run his routes is a thing of beauty. Moss never in his career moved with the same fluidity as Rice did. He didn't have the same cutting ability or stop and go moves like him. If I want a hail mary? Pick Moss. For every single other throw? Rice.
Same with Joe. Not really known for having that deep ball but boy could they carve up defenses together
Does vertical mean how high you can jump
@@chicofrmdazoo8919 yes
Wheelio Exactly
@@bigfootindeal1525 Moss is great at quitting on plays Jerry never did that.
best football player of all-time, regardless of position. jerry rice.
TL swog it’s actually Deion sanders but I respect your opinion lmaoo
@@tammy_buoy332 not even close man, the reason Jerry is the greatest is because NO ONE had a work ethic like him. Two days after the superbowl he's practicing for the next season. No one has that mentality
@@supersonicz06 Lawrence Taylor
tom brady?
Tom Brady
I could watch his highlights all day. Him and Randy Moss. The best to ever do it.
stick em ehhh???
8laze don hutson too
8laze Calvin Johnson?
m3atwad4life Michael Irvin is better than calving Johnson
Zach Duffy
Irvin better than Megatron? You're delusional lmao. Irvin never saw anywhere near the amount of attention defensively as Calvin did.
I've been a Steelers fan since I was 10 back in 76 but anytime I had the opportunity to watch him play I did. He was simply amazing to watch.
Better than any Patriot or Vikings WR...
Shots fired...
RedX165 Randy Moss was better imo.
randy moss, Cris carter, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne are better they didn't cheat by putting stickem on there hands rice is a straight cheater
dannidye30 I say Moss could have broken rices records if he actually cared about the sport and if he played as long as rice did
dre clatkson Terrel Owens better than all those dudes except for Moss
He's The Greatest Football Player Ever His Numbers Speak Volumes.
He is but bo Jackson and Tom Brady and few more is up there to
@@lightninggaming016 Up where you have had Quarterbacks play that position at the age of 40 and over George Blanda, Warren Moon,Vinny Testaverde, Doug Flutie you have never seen a Wide Receiver play at 40 and over only 1 has done that The Real GOAT Jerry Rice Bo Jackson didn't play enough to qualify
one of my favorite receiver's growing up, was nice to hear maddens voice again brought back some memories for sure.
J. Rice + J. Montana = Unstoppable.
Man not only am I admiring Jerry Rice but those beautiful throws by Joe Montana man wow
I liked the part where Rice scored. That was cool.
Jerry Rice is the definition of "game speed"... I don't care what his 40 time was.
Game speed? IDK about that. Despite him getting in the endzone its obvious the his speed it nothing special its just that he use things like change of speed and deception to throw off the coverage masterfully. He plays at a 4.7 40m.
@@joshhughart289 Now just imagine if he had 4.2 speed . The league would've really been in trouble.
@@BlackMusicGenre The league was already in trouble. The 49ers were rolling teams over in the 80s and 90s. Rice was simply amazing. I've been watching football for almost 40 years, and the only other receiver who comes remotely close to Jerry Rice is Randy Moss.
Youbhating lol i definitely see the game speed
@@joshhughart289 Rice was rarely caught from behind. You don't score 80-90 yard TD's off 5 yard slants without being able to run fast.
Top 3 NFL players of all-time:
#1- Jerry Rice 1990's Edition
#2- Jerry Rice 1980's Edition
#3- Jerry Rice 2000's Edition
#1 - Jerry Rice Edition of all time. No one will ever better him. The greatest player in the history of the game. He did it in an era were defenders could hit receivers in any way they wanted. No one will match his work ethic.
Watching Montana to Rice brings back the childhood memories of watching football every Sunday with my dad hoping the 49ers or Elway and the Broncos would be played on tv.
Here comes the Rice haters and Moss fanboys
Jerry Rice is the only player where, when it comes to his position, there isn't even a debate worth hearing when it comes to if he's the greatest of all time or not. He is without a doubt the greatest WR to ever step on the football field.
Forrest
Like Wayne Gretzky
@NinjaGuy4 There is not a single objective standard that places Randy Moss above Jerry Rice.
@@xaviervega468 yards per catch, and more deep touchdowns don't count as objective? Rice was a stickum/montana/Walsh babby. If Moss had Tom Brady his whole career he would've massacred Jerry's numbers
FBI Stat Major stop it. Jerry’s stats were so much better it’s not even funny. Moss was a better deep threat but that’s it
That and Lawrence Taylor with outside linebackers
I never really knew how fast Jerry Rice was, because they always made him run in slo-mo. And now that I'm seeing it, he's pretty freaking fast.
BTW, all you stickum guys, stickum doesn't break tackles. Stickum doesn't get him open. Stickum doesn't move his legs. Stickum doesn't move his arms. Stickum doesn't help him jump. Honestly, he probably could have done the same thing without stickum. I mean, the gloves that wideouts wear today, they're super sticky, yet no one complains about them.
Temi Osobamiro yea? Then why did tom Brady get suspended?
for deflating footballs.........
I don't understand. That's something completely different. Are you sure you are replying to the right comment?
I really wish that they wouldn't show every classic NFL play in slow mo like that. They always play the commentary like normal so all the players look so slow.
Lol defending a proven cheating stickum user but will keep going the distance to support Goodell's witch hunt on Brady.
Pathetic loser.
He is so graceful
absolute beast. see when jerry was playing, there was no debate about who the best wideout. now theres constantly 3 to 4 guys trying to get that number one spot. but no one currently made it look so easy. jerry just knew how to run routes and get his ass open. then also yards after the catch was ridiculous
Can't take any of these keyboard warriors seriously if you're only argument is stickum you have no argument. Modern NFL receiving gloves are 5x as powerful at gripping footballs than the best stickum available back in the day. Also if he used it every single game i guarantee he would have been caught, he would never have gotten away using it for 20 years. Also his catching was his greatest thing his work ethic his routes speed and jumping were amazing. Stickum doesn't break 5 tackles and outrun 3 guys.
bam 0217 yea he would have been caught,but stickum was a whole lot more sticky than today's gloves
i poured some sprite on my gloves and it works better than stickum
andrew castillo stickum is no where near as good as modern gloves its a proven fact. I literally have talked to jerry before since he is from a city 15 minutes from me and he comes often and he told me he rarely used stickum
Gloves are not against NFL rules genius.
Moss was taller faster could jump higher and had elite hands. Done. If moss played with Steve young it would be a wrap.
What was as impressive as Rice's catches/runs, was the superb passing. I mean the ball placement was picture-perfect.
Greatest wr of all time. He did it for so long and so consistently
He's the best
Even though this is a Rice highlight reel, i found myself going time and time again, "look at that throw." Montana and Young were so good at hitting rice in stride. those 3 had excellent chemistry together. Throw after throw is just perfect on the timing and execution of the route. even with all the scoring in todays game, i dont think anyone will ever beat jerrys TD record.
10 minutes of Greatness
That's why he's the Greatest Football Player Ever his numbers speak volumes
Amazing when you also consider the rules at the time. DBs had more freedom to bump and jostle receivers. Nowadays you get a penalty if you so much as look at a receiver wrong.
Thanks for the memories!
Rice is the best weapon in the history of the Nfl that's crazy cause it seems like a wide receiver can't break the touchdown record anymore
Rice is the best...and i was around to watch both of their entire careers rice got rings although Moss was a beast...Rice was a Fraight Train
He holds the top 3 spots for greatest receiver of all time... everyone else starts at number 4.
Still amazing
Honestly, best player in NFL history. He's my number 1 at least
Jerry rice not even wearing gloves . GOAT
Jerry is a total legend
Montana-Rice. What a team!
The hardest working individual to ever put on a uniform.
THE TRUE NFL G.O.A.T
Jerry Rice's age 40 season with the Raiders was still an elite Fantasy Football season (92 catches, 1211 yards, 7 TDs). And that was for a Super Bowl team.
I never seen a receiver to get in front of the cornerbacks and safetys like Rice. His route running were immaculate.
I had the good fortune of living in the Jerry Rice era, I keep for the 49ers a love that I cherished since childhood, beautiful times, they have passed, however I still carry them in my memory.
We were able to see Rice, Montana, Gretzky, Lemieux, Jordan, Johnson, Hagler, Leonard, the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team, the Soviet Union's every other sport teams etc. etc. It WAS a tremendous time to be a spectator.
Looking at the comments, people seem to forget or not know that Rice’s breakout year in 1986 came with Montana missing half the season. Rice tore it up with Jeff Kemp of all people at QB. He dropped a lot of passes his rookie year but you knew he was going to be great when he was dominating with Jeff Kemp playing QB. His numbers didn’t really suffer either with Steve Bono and Elvis Grbac at QB either when Young missed games in 91 and 95.
Your comment is why he is the goat. No matter who the qb was he would dominate
This is almost a Montana highlight reel as well. Look at those passes!!!! Tight floating spirals that just drop into his hands. Accuracy definition.
GOAT of Wideouts. Met this guy in Vegas. The biggest class.act! A moment ill never forget!!🙏🏿
Jerry Rice made it look so easy !
This guy could smell the end zone! I love the over middle short pass broken for a long TD. What a delight to watch.
Montana's throws were perfect. Dropped right on the hands...The Greatest.
He just had the absolute perfect body to play receiver. The way he catches is just totally different. It’s the most effortless thing I’ve ever seen. So fluid as if he was gliding. By far best receiver of all time!
i thought moss was the better receiver, but after watching this it’s undeniable #80 was on a different tier. moss was the better athlete for sure, but rice had better all around skillset as a wr.
This may be a Rice highlight vid but man Montana puts it right in the basket every time. What a combo. Could you imagine the fantasy numbers if you owned both?
Jerry Rice is the GREATEST WR of All Time! He has records and rings to show for it.
Jesus Keeps It Real I mean Calvin Johnson passed up his yards
@@drakodominguez6448 season not career
Rice was a class act
"Montana to Rice" loved hearing summerall say it.
Rice was literally always open no one had better feet than rice the goat conversation isn’t even close
Man, Montana's throws were things of beauty.
From Mississippi Valley State. The greatest diamond in the rough ever found in sports history. Bill Walsh knew something magical
Candlestick Park > Levi Stadium
Definitely tf
You can't even compare those stadiums
Haven't been to Levi yet but I was fortunate enough to be at the last ever game at Candlestick, "The Pick at the Stick." What an unbelievable venue. So much character and history. It truly felt like walking through the halls of the greatness of generations past.
@@kevinbanks77 talking about how great it was,I wonder why teams dont use the money for the new stadium for renovations.Not a 49ers fan but candlestick park is a classic,Levi stadium is meh
Steve Young said that water would seep through walls and ceilings from the Bay in the locker rooms. Some teams say there stadium is old and run down, but Candlestick was literally crumbling
First time watching his highlights he was a beast
Same here for me
The way Montana could hit Jerry in stride was impeccable
Jerry could get it done, but man, did he luck out having a succession of QB's who could put the ball right on the numbers... the perfect storm for greatness. It's why it'll never be repeated.
rice changed the game a lot more than Moss did😝
Chadwick Bosarge because Rice played a bit before Moss.
Chadwick Bosarge Yup SEE MOSS FANBOYS
Yes, it was the timeline. Not the unending string of records and awards. Not the man who fit in with his team instead of acting like he was better than them. It was just an accident of time.
@First Name Last Name Moss had his chances, and every time came up small.
@@xaviervega468 randy moss is more physically gifted in every way then rice and never played with a hof qb until he was 30 rice had the 2nd best qb ever and the 8 or 9th best for almost his whole career no where near the athletic talent of moss
Rice and Montana are both unique at their position for one reason : their light, nimble legs. It served Montana well to move around the pocket, and it made Rice able to run those killer routes.
They say Rice lacked speed and yes he wasn't a speed freak but when he got the ball in his hands he was definitely moving. His run after the catch ability is amazing
GOAT
Jerry Rice is the greatest wide receiver.
Wow,look at you' World', you are the best football player to ever play. I attended M.V.S.U. with Jerry ,he has always been a very nice and humble person to everyone but NEVER try to call him out on the football field or you will regret it lol. You have made us proud,THANKS six in a row' Lakeside.'
Top 3 receivers of all time.
1.Jerry Rice
2.Randy Moss
3. Terrell Owens
Prime Calvin was better than TO
My Top 10 WR's:
1.- Jerry Rice
2.- Randy Moss
3.- Michael Irvin
4.- Terrell Owens
5.- Torry Holt
6.- Isaac Bruce
7.- Donald Driver
8.- Marvin Harrison
9.- Calvin Johnson
10.- Larry Fitzgerald
Steve Largent should be on that list somewhere.
When Largent retired, he held all major NFL receiving records, including: most receptions in a career (819), most receiving yards in a career (13,089), and most touchdown receptions (100). He was also in possession of a then-record streak of 177 consecutive regular-season games with a reception. He also holds the distinction as the first receiver in NFL history to achieve 100 touchdown receptions in his career.
Also, Rod Smith > Donald Driver, who shouldn't be on that list.
Rod Smith career stats (12 years)
849 recs 11,389 yds 68 tds
Donald Driver career stats (14 years)
743 recs 10,137 yds 62 tds
Chris Carter should have been on that list some where
Nothing Sweeter in all of Football!!! Simply The Greatest!!!
I honestly didn't realize how fast he was until now.
Doesn't he almost get run down by dlineman and a linebacker at separate times in this video? Quick maybe but his top end speed is kinda slow.
@@joshhughart289 His acceleration was insane though. He could stop and hit top speed again quicker than any other receiver I've ever seen.
@@joshhughart289"almost get run down" In other words he didn't, he was fast. He had enough top end speed that he would almost never get caught from the back.
GOAT receiver + GOAT quarterback = 49ers
My thoughts exactly as I watched this video. Great times
Not GOAT Quarterback.
You lose all credibility when you say goat quarterback
People talking about Odell, Owens, Hopkins etc etc. Showing all those highlights they have over the past few years.
All outdone here 20 years ago. Rice was amazing.
Mississippi Legend ❤️🏈💙
The greatest
When I first saw Jerry highlights, tbh I didn't understand what made him the goat. "He's always open" I said to myself. But then I realized. HE'S ALWAYS OPEN. He was the greatest route runner ever, with the surest hands ever. Jerry just had a natural ability to get himself separation and then cut it up the field for gains. He was always in the right place at the perfect time, and if the ball was a little off, he'd find a way to go get it. You'd say, "how the hell do they let THAT man get THAT open?!"
But that's what made him great: they're doing everything they can to stop him, and he STILL gets that open. Dude is the goat receiver by a country mile
jerry was the best
Jerry is my hero
if u look at rice numbers you can clearly see that he had the most receiving yards out of any receiver of all time. so why are u all hating. yeah he used stickum but he got caught so why are we still talking about it. he's still the best. haters these days smh.
shutdown corner what do you mean yeah he got caught as of it were nothing. he used stickdum or whatever it's called to catch better which is the only thing a receiver needs to do other than run good routes. also he had 2 hall of fame quarterbacks. the fact is he cheated and that's never something to ignore.
jose Ortiz i know but are u saying he's not the best of all time?
Jerry Rice didn't get caught for using "stickum". Jerry in an interview simply stated early in his career when it was widely used still in the NFL to gain an edge that he also used it. He stated it nonchalantly because it's use wasn't a secret. Rice is so far and above the greatest receiver the NFL has ever seen, his stickum use is irrelevant. Especially considering we know it was used by NFL receivers up to the late 80's when they cracked down on it.
shutdown corner because there salty kids that accept the fact that he’s the GOAT
Stickum..he learned it while watching Largent
Omg Montana throws are unbelievably perfect
LMFAO!! A lot of salty ass haters on here.The G.O.A.T. Accept it.
Sounds like you're salty Rice got dethroned by someone that DIDN'T cheat LOLOLOL
Ugly Ass Does stickum run routes? Does stickum get Y.A.C. Besides that, who "dethroned" him? Put up any WR career stats against his and nobody comes close.Sit down and shut up child.
Was Stickum BANNED at the time? Yes. Cheater confirmed.
Look up Lester Hayes moron.
Jerry Rice was just on a different level fron the
WRs to the DBs... 🐐
king of YAC
Rice redefined football. It's crazy to see how much better he was during this era
THE best WR to ever catch a ball, plain and simple!
Moss 🐐
