I'd take Blades, Galloway, and DJack over him.
I think pretty much anybody who paid attention would take Galloway in his prime over Doug. A healthy, unselfish Galloway in an efficient offense would likely be more comparable to Antonio Brown than DB (yes, I do think he had that kind of potential). But as it stands, next year Doug is likely to surpass Joey in catches, yards and possibly TDs as a Seahawk. So yeah, I think overall Galloway was a more talented player than Doug, but I don't think he was a better WR for the Seahawks.
Blades was the best WR out of a bunch of poor WR groups on a lot of pretty shitty Seahawks offenses. I don't know if he was hurt by that or if he benefited (statistically) from it (if that even makes any sense). Maybe it's the fact that he was never the play maker I wanted him to be or because he was left with the impossible task of trying to replace Steve Largent, but I just never felt like Blades was really all that good. He should have never been more than a #2 in the League IMO. But he played a roll and he was pretty reliable for a lot of years for us so I'll always appreciate that and have a soft spot for him. But I don't see anyway he'd beat out DB for a spot on this roster.
DJack I think is the best comparison. Not necessarily a true #1 trying fill the roll of a #1 and doing a better than expected job of it. And definitely a play maker like Doug. I just think Doug beats him out because of his reliability and his ability to bail Russell out so frequently (with the toe tappers and breaking off routes during scrambles and such).
But overall I can totally see arguments for each of them being 2nd best all time. I just think it's Doug. We'll (hopefully) know for sure in a couple of years.
