    I'm not deeming any tandem as best, just getting more knowledgable fans' thoughts.

    Feel very free to vote "other" if you've another tandem in mind.

    Lynn Swann & John Stallworth

    Mark Duper and Mark Clayton

    Fred Biletnikoff and Cliff Branch

    The conversation gets a lot more interesting if you include TEs.

    Nice history with PIT and OAK.

    It's weird Bradshaw threw so many picks... even considering the times.

    Last option is Hopkin/FULLER.

    Meant to put an lol there too due to their brief NFL tenure.

    Not clue about Walter, but Andre is probably in Nashville.

    This is where I lean also.

    They maximized subpar QB's too.

    I know this isn't supposed to include a TE, but I can't separate these guys.

    John Jefferson
    Charlie Joiner
    Kellen Winslow

    If you want to just pick one season of greatness it has to be the 2007 combo of Moss and Welker:

    Moss: 98/1493/23
    Welker: 112/1175/8

    From the 90s:

    Keenan McCardell and Jimmy Smith were a damn good duo. A shame what happened to Smith after he stopped playing.

    Herman Moore / Brett Perriman

    The short-lived Jerry Rice / Terrell Owens duo was a very interest juxtaposition of styles. In 1998 they both topped 1000 yards, Owens caught 14 TDs to Rice's 9. Jerry was 36 years old and coming off a torn ACL. TO was 25 and just blossoming into a star.

    It still amazes me that a 40 year old Jerry Rice put up this season in 2002: 92 catches, 1211 yards, 7 TD.

    From the modern era:

    Fitzgerald / Boldin, Holt / Bruce, and Wayne / Harrison are definitely tough to best.

    Believe it or not I can top that and its 2 relatively unknown players from the 1995 Detroit Lions

    Herman Moore 123/1686/14
    Brett Perriman 108/1488/9

    The TD catches aren't as high, but thats a combined 231 catches for 3174 yards. :eek:

    You should put an LOL beside Cruz/Beckham as well.
