Rice loves Russ

...or according to Rice, Russ is top 3.

When Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice watches today's NFL, he sees a few quarterbacks that catch his eye -- New England's Tom Brady, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers and Seattle's Russell Wilson.

Rice said he would want to play with any of these three quarterbacks, if he was in the league today.

This is cool to hear. Russ is starting to become more and more accepted as a top-tier QB.

Yeah, those platform shoes put him on the level where he can look those guys in the eye now

Quick someone tell elguapo.

I'm sure Jerry noticed Russ lighting it up in the Pro Bowl and went hmm... there may be something to this kid.

I agree. Lots of love around the league for him. Fans have come around too. There was a thread on reddit recently and most people had Russell with a 50-75% chance of going to the hall already.

I would say one more amazing year and he will ascend to the Aaron Rodgers level on conversation on a consistent basis.

A little surprised he didn't have Newton in top 3.

Clayton has Russell at #4 in the league... behind Brady, Rodgers and the Rapist.

Bring Rice back for a year, no one is wearing his number 80. Perfect fit.

Can't be accused of ever being a Niner homer by picking Russell Wilson.

You're right. That's the whole reason he avoided picking the Kraepper. :lol: :lol:
