I would have to say the best reciving core in the NFL would have to be the Cincinnati Bengals.
With Chad Johnson who arguable is the best WR right now in the NFL. And has the biggest mouth. With 1369 yards in 06 which is third in the Bengals history. But thats behind his own record of 1432 in 05 and also had 1355 in 03. Is tied for 3 in reciving TDs for the Bengals. Also is 2nd for amount of games in a row with one catch at least. Is currently at 76 and needs to get 93 to tie the lead. Also has the most 100 yard games in a career with 21 in Bengals history. And to top it off appered in 4 straight pro bowls.
Then T.J Houshmanzadeh who was 2nd on the team in receiving yards behind Chad Johnson with 1081 last year being his first 1000 yard season. He lead the team in 06 with 90 receptions and tied for touchdowns in the season with Chris Henry at 9. Was only the third Bengal to have 90 receptions in a season the other two are Chad Johnson and Carl Pickens. And made the pro bowl as third string. And did this all after missing the first 2 games of the season.
And Chris Henry who's entering his third year already showing his worth. He tied with Chris Henry to lead the team in receiving TDs at 9. He also had 3 plays of 50+ yards. 55 against Atlanta 71 against Baltimore and 66 against Pittsburgh. He also came close and had a 43 against the Browns. Also had two games with two TDs against the Steelers and Browns. And third on the team in catchs with 36. Doing all this even though he missed week 4,6, and 7.
And who is the QB who's throwing these passes well Heisman trophy winner and pro bowl MVP Carson Palmer who had a awesome year coming off a knee injury. Was first Bengal to pass for over 4000 yards with 4035. Passed for 324 for 520 last year a 62.3 completion passer rating With 28 TDs and 13 INTs. His career high of 440 yards was second in the league and leader in the AFC for the year. And had 153 consecutive completions without throwing a pick.
This is why I think they have the best Wide receiver core with one of the best QBs. And the reason why I didn't chose The patriots witch I'm sure a lot of you will wonder is because Donte Stallworth and Randy Moss have yet to play for Tom Brady and Moss still has to prove he is that player that tore up the league when he played for the Vickeys.
The Colts have a stacked core that I'd take in front of the Bengals.
I also wouldnt sneeze at the Dallas Cowboys wideouts either.
