OBJ was overrated AF, always felt that way. Even at his peak he was never remotely in the same class as Jefferson or Chase. Those are like the best receivers on planet earth right now- and OBJ was never that. Jarvis is a nice NFL player, but that's about it. Jarvis was never elite because: he's slow as dirt plus he doesn't score TDs. His yard per reception is laughable and he's too small to be a redzone target and rack up TDs. There were years this guy was averaging 8-9 yards per catch and scoring 2-3-4 TDs per season.

There are levels to this thing. Jefferson and Chase are just at another level than OBJ/Jarvis ever were.

You made me think of this video:

Re: our previous duo:
I was talking about insane catches, of which ODB and Landry >>> anything I've ever seen Chase or Jefferson do....that's all, full stop.  I said nothing about who's "better."  That said, after their first three seasons, both held NFL records.  ODB had the most yards of any NFL receiver in history over their first 3 years, and I think he was hurt for part of one of those years.  Landry had more receptions than any NFL receiver in history over their first 3 years. 

However you view them, that's impressive, and I've seen ODB flat out abuse many of the game's best corners.  Richard Sherman should've filed suit against ODB for the exploitation he put him through a few years ago. 

You can say ODB has been overrated since the first ACL tear, and that's fair.  He hasn't been the same since, and now with the 2nd tear, I'm not sure that he's going to stick with a team even if he comes back.  And you can say Landry is nothing more than a move-the-chains possession kind of guy, and that's fair.  There's still a need for that in the league and it's not nothing when a guy can consistently get open, get yards, and has sure hands.  So I disagree with you and maintain they were both very, very good at what they did. 

Not being Chase or Jefferson =/= overrated.  Nobody is those guys.  That said, my point above was to say if we're talking about absurd grabs, nothing has ever surpassed what I saw ODB/Juice do in college.  It was beyond video game stuff.

May be an image of 3 people, people playing football and text that says 'MOST GAMES WITH 100+ REC YARDS IN FIRST 3 SEASONS 00 @Riddell VIKInGS ny 34 20 JUSTIN JEFFERSON 19 RANDY MOSS 19 ODELL BECKHAM JR. PFF'
that's pretty nuts. Jefferson still has half a season left. 

Not saying he is the greatest WR ever, but Randy Moss is the most talented receiver I have ever seen play football. No disrespect to Calvin Johnson who was nearly as great but I think Randy was just a touch better. That's splitting hairs though.

Fact that Jefferson is outpacing all these guys....crazy. He's on track to be in the HoF.
