My favorite Rams receivers? My first was Jack Snow. My all time favorite is actually 3 guys. Harold Jackson, Henry Ellard and Ike Bruce. Kupp is up there for obvious reasons and Puka too.

Yet once again, with these kinds of lists, we see the baffling tendency to ignore receivers such as Brandon Gibson, Donnie Avery, Austin Pettis, Chris Givens, and Brian Quick.

You're acting as if catches, yards, and successful plays are the only measures of a receiver's value.

well why not throw Willie "Flipper" Anderson in with the bunch ? i still remember his record night (rec yds), with Jim Everett slinging dimes against NOLA (back in the 80's) !

Loved Flipper Anderson.

In fact, of the top Ram pass catchers of all time and all eras, Flipper is #2 on the list for best nickname.

#1 is not within my lifetime, but his nickname can't be beat.

My top Ram receivers nickname list (YMMV):
1. Crazy Legs
2. Flipper
3. Grasshopper
4. Ghost
5. Big Game
6. The Reverend
7. Puka
8. J.T.
9. Coop

As nicknames go, #8 and #9 are both pretty poor. Puka qualifies because it's not his given name.

Are you sure about that? Because I'm not.

Sorry, I know this thread was about pass catchers. As for that, I hope the 2025 version is better, but I don't know what it's going to look like yet. We'll see.

He was once a Pro Bowler, in 2021.

His last game of the season,
He played with the backups,
but going against the Denver's starters,
and Nik Bonitto, a Pro Bowler for 2024.
He did give up 2 pressures and 1 1/2 sacks,
the half sack, I won't count that against him,
because the TE block Bonitto out of D.J.'s blocking path.
the other sack, he did get beat on an outside rush.
But actually, played pretty well the whole game.

I feel he will fill in just perfectly,
especially with his experience.

I don't think this post's question is all that close. While I'm still a huge fan of Coop, Puka is still ascending; Adam's abilities and health give him an edge over Coop; Tutu, for the first time will get a true chance to shine; and I think that if Ferguson comes in as advertised, Stafford will have many more ops to check down in a very similar way that KC does with Kelse, forcing teams away from blitzing as much. I see '25's group as the better of the two.
