Right now.......Big Walt barely over Largent. By the end of his career, Russ by a pretty large margin.

Of course not and believe you me, NO disrespect meant toward Walt. He made a Pro Bowl player literally quit out of frustration (Patrick Kearny when he was a Falcon). Just my opinion of where Russ will end up.TorontoHawk":13ticwea said:hawksfansinceday1":13ticwea said:Right now.......Big Walt barely over Largent.

I really don't get how you can say Russ by a large margin, Jones is one of the best players ever to play the game, that is pretty disrespectful to Jones. I agree I think Wilson will have a great career and do special things but no one can predict the future.

For me it's Largent. For years and years and years he was *THE* consistent bright spot for the Hawks. Throughout all the below he was the consistent beacon of hope, or at least a reason to watch the games.
* Zone-to-Largent era
* Krieg-to-Largent era,
* the rise and fall of Curt Warner (dangnab injuries)
* rise and fall of Kenny Easley (dangnab injuries)
* the jinxed season after that Super Bowl song they put together (don't even remember the name of it!)
When he retired, he held all major NFL receiving records
* Career receptions
* Touchdown receptions
* Consecutive regular-season games with a reception
* First receiver to achieve 100 TD receptions
And not to mention when he retired, the Hawks created an award in his name for spirit, dedication, and integrity.

It's hard to compare era to era already, even harder to compare position to position. I love that linemen are getting recognized too. But throughout the years my football mind was not mature enough to appreciate them, and so all my memories and my favorite Seahawk is still Steve Largent and so he's my best ever.
But there are quite a few candidates on the current team that I hope will soon be up there in that conversation
