Jarvis Landry or O.J. Mcduffie

Until Jarvis starts hitting the end zone more often, I have to go with O.J.!
 
well to be fair and honest through their first 3 years in the league they both have near the same amount of TD's, only difference was year 3 for OJ was his breakout and those next 3 years he scored 24 TD's.... but I agree 14 needs to score more, points wins games.
 
I'd take Mark Clayton over both of them

Ozzy rules!!

Someone posted a question also on twitter- pick between Duper, Clayton, Chambers and one other WR- can't remember the 4th.. I took Clayton.

Actually this was the question..

If can bring back 1 WR to add, who would you pick: 1- Chris Chambers 2- Brain Hartline 3- O.J. McDuffie 4- Mark Clayton

One of those names shouldn't even be in the same poll....

Not to derail the thread- sorry Namor
 
No problem AR..Clayton was my all time favorite,..then Warfield....I just used Landry and OJ because they were similar to each other.

Two of those guys had Dan Marino throwing to them so ....

But... McDuffie
 
I'd love to see Landry teleport back to the 80's to see how he would have looked catching missile's from Marino all while running some deeper routes. Something tells me he'd score a lot more.
 
Mcduffie may have been a hall of famer if he never hurt his toe.

I told him that when I met him at the skins opener last year

I met OJ when he was trying to make the squad at Pen State. I remember watching him in the Blue/White game and thinking "I've never seen or played against a football player that fast". Of course I was in highschool myself at the time but he was clearly on a different level even then.
 
Great question and love the responses/answers given thus far. Myself personally, I would have to go with Landry for sheer fact that he seems to go on all levels of the field regardless if he is involved in play or not, whereas OJ seemed to have a case of the oops hands on easy catch and throws and it would rattle him for a good bit of a game.

I won't lie, question made me think and wonder what Landry would be like in those days ( not just with Dan throwing the ball, but the way defenses were) and how OJ would do in current state of game.
 
Great question. Tough one as well.

OJ McDuffie was a more complete WR in the route tree aspect (or at least he was utilized as so), had better body control at the catch point, and had a penchant for big time catches, especially in the endzone. That said, he also a bad case of drops when it come to the average catch. Often not honing in when he was faced with the usual as opposed to his ability to focus and make a spectacular catches along the sidelines, etc.

Jarvis Landry. A victim of his own success in our quick passing game? Relegated to the short field b/c of other intermediate-deep receiving weapons? Maybe. Or possibly he just is limited to the short-intermediate passing game. Regardless, great competitor, willing teammate, and very good all-round WR who can also be counted in the run game. Also very reliable and catches anything thrown his way. Biggest knock is he's not really a threat to score in the redzone as most of his TD come via YAC outside that area.

Overall, I loved OJ's highlight reel, but Landry to me is the better all-around reliable receiver. I'd have to go with Jarvis Landry here.
Yes we must keep in mind the eras too. OJ played in a different one and that must be factored in so we shouldn't compare the catch stats. Also, both guys were good PR men.
 
Landry all the way. McDuffie was nice, but he wasn't going to get those physical yards after the catch that Landry can.
