Tough, Irvin was an awesome player.
But gotta go Harrison. Just gotta.

Irvin was good, but not a good person. Harrison is just as good, and I think he's actually got better hands and is an awesome route-runner, plus he seems to be a good person. I give the nod to Marv.

I voted Irvin due to being a homer.
Although I think that each is better at their own game they have different styles Irvin was more of a physical grind it out receiver where Harrison tends to be more of finesse receiver. Neither of the 2 could have played in the other players team and been as succesful in the same manner.

Irvin would be regarded as the one the greatest ever if he had Peyton throwing to him his entire career. Don't forget his career was ended early with a neck injury.

Yeah, that Aikman guy was a bum.Irvin would be regarded as the one the greatest ever if he had Peyton throwing to him his entire career. Don't forget his career was ended early with a neck injury.
Irvin
Think how much better Harrison would be if he could push off half as well as Irvin.

How many titles does Irvin have? How about Harrison? Until Harrison gets a few more rings, gotta go with Irvin.
If I was building a team, thoguh, I'd probably want them both. Send harrison deep and irvin across the middle.

My point exactly.Harrisons stats dwarf Irvins. He's played one less season than Irvin played yet has 270 more receptions and almost 2000 more yards. TDs its 122 to 65. Pro Bowls its 8 to 5.Yet, Irvin was an integral part of 3 SB teams. that alone counts for something.Statistically you'd have to go with Harrison.

Harrison. Football is not a sport where winning rings can come into an equation of greatness, because then Marino isn't as good as some guys who have got one? Harrison is one of the purest route runners in the history of this game and keeps his mouth shut to boot. Harrison all the way.

Neither matters a whole heck of a lot, but keeping your mouth shut has much less to do with being a great football player than winning rings. HTH.

No contest...Starvin' Marvin is the best WR ever besides Rice.

So using this brilliant logic, the #4 WR on the Cowboys that also has 3 rings is also better than Harrison? I guess Irvin single-handedly won those 3 rings without the help of the NFL's all-time leading rusher and Troy Aikman as well as a spectacular defense. Gotcha.Also, for those using similar logic comparing rings. Is Aikman a better QB than Manning too?

I went with Harrison, but it is very close. I am surprised by the results, and by the lack of respect for "The Playmaker".

Voted Harrison.
The one area where Irvin is clearly better than Harrison is "clutch" play. I know that's tough to define but if I had the ball at the 10 down by 5 in the 4th quarter of a Super Bowl I'd take Michael Irvin over Marvin Harrison.

For his career, Marvin Harrison currently has 272 more catches, almost 1800 more receiving yards and a ridiculous 57 more TDs... and has played ONE LESS year than Irvin.Irvin had exactly ONE SEASON where he caught 10 TD passes. Harrison has caught AT LEAST 10 every season for 8 straight years.So who is dominating again? This shouldn't even be a discussion.Good night.

Did anybody else notice his poll was in checkboxes?
That means you could select all the options.
I did (select both), just to see if I could...

Aikman is considered one of the greatest QB's of his era. Manning will go down as the greatest QB in history. Manning made Brandon Stokely look good. This is no disrespect for Harrison, I love the guy and have him on two of my FF teams. But you can't dispute Irvin's pedigree.Yeah, that Aikman guy was a bum.Irvin would be regarded as the one the greatest ever if he had Peyton throwing to him his entire career. Don't forget his career was ended early with a neck injury.
Irvin
Think how much better Harrison would be if he could push off half as well as Irvin.
1. Set school records (U of Miami) for career receptions (143), receiving yards (2,423) and touchdown receptions (26).
2. Won national championship in 1987.
3. Won three Super Bowls.
4. Super Bowl MVP in 1992.
5. Third all time with 47 - 100 yard receiving yard games (Jerry Rice 65, Don Maynard 50)
6. Second all time in post season receptions (87). Jerry Rice first with 151.
7. Second all time in post season receiving yards (1315) again Jerry Rice being first with 2245.
8. Second all time with 6 - 100 yard receiving games in the post season, Rice being first with 8.
This is all with an injury shortened carrer.

No - he was 3rd at the time. He's 4th now, since Marvin is in 2nd with 55Rodeojones said:

Yes, he spent much of his college and pro career on loaded teams that had a lot of success and played a lot of post season games. That doesn't make him a better WR.And the injury shortened career doesn't mean much when he's still played more years than Harrison.Rodeojones said:Aikman is considered one of the greatest QB's of his era.

I was curious about Harrison's college stats with Syracuse. He played in 40 games and started 30 of them. He set school records for yardage (2718) in addition to several single season records. He was also 2nd in tds (20) and 3rd in receptions (135) in school history. He was an all-american in 1995.Rodeojones said:

How on earth does # of titles have any play on who is te better WR????By your logic, Alvin Harper is a better WR than Harrison, Owens, Moss, etc.
Harrison is a far better WR than Irvin, faster, quicker, better route runner. Irvin was the first of the big boys - guys who used their size to get the ball. But he pushed off more than any other WR I've ever seen, and his routes were lazy.
