Good points. I do think Rice is the best WR of all time. He was blessed by having a two of the top 5 QBs of all time throwing to him. Although Harrison has been in the League since 96, he didn't do anything until 99. Manning's second season in. Also helping was the fact that when they had James at RB that took pressure off the WR position.
I think in the end he's going to come in in the top 5, but you have to realize he only won one Superbowl.
The other thing I like about Rice and Irvin to a certain extent is their YAC yardage amounts were alway very good. Harrison just catches touchdown.
