    I agree, but if you put Reggie in this scheme it would be comical

    Reggie never had to play as a quadruple amputee.

    Reggie was GOAT from day one, Rome has improved game to game

    Reggie had a false start penalty that killed a game in Tucson. He was not clutch.

    Rome is bona-fide gamer. Reggie could have elevated teams but he didn't.

    Rome would still be better. Rome beat the Beav by himself last night. He was the only receiver on the field who didn't have his hands dipped in Crisco before the game. While Polk was busy trying to resurrect the spirit and energy of Petersen era teams to shit the season away, Odunze carried the offense in his backpack.
    He's caught way more than he's dropped, but still

    Reggie beat plenty of teams by himself. Let's keep it real.
    Sure, games didn't mean shit though.

    I love me some Ja'lynn Polk.
    Same except during El Niño.

    Reggie's biggest accomplishments were destroying Trufant in the 2001 and 2002 Apple Cups. He faded once the team fell apart under Gilbertson.

    He destroyed an all pro corner.

    Reggie was good against the ducks too.

    The passing scheme under RN/Gilby was light years behind what UW is using now. The OL was shit so it basically amounted to getting Reggie the ball quick at the LOS and praying that he could break 3-4 tackles and get a first down.

    Completely agree. Reggie was a great player, but an idiot and a diva. Rome is better in nearly every way (Reggie was slightly more physical). IMHO, Rome is the best WR to have played at UW and may be the best in college football this year. He is nails.

    Reggie was more athletically talented and physically dominant, but Odunze is not far behind in that regard. He also plays smarter, and seems to have more of those general receiver or "football player" skills that guys like Steve Largent and Jerry Rice had. Not saying Odunze is the next Jerry Rice, just that Reggie seemed to mostly rely on his athletic talent, whereas Odunze does not.

    Both are all-time Husky greats. If I had to pick, I'm on board with Odunze. That catch he made to seal the victory was incredibly clutch. It was contested, it was rainy, it was thrown into a tight window...He's a fucking hero.

    This kids has delivered in every game, even in the abomination of the ASU game. Where investigation into grubb for point shaving was warranted

    Reggie’s a little bigger, but he’s not really more athletically talented. Rome is faster.

    Is Rome really faster? For some reason I thought Williams was this cheetah and Rome was a gazelle… both fast. Williams loos faster in comparison or is that just my old eyes playing tricks on me?

    Reggie was drafted top-10 before receivers became the second most important players on the field. He would be insane on this team with Penix throwing to him. Rome is also great and seems to have "it" beyond whatever his metrics are.

    I think he's right that Odunze beats Reggie in a sprint, however Reggie had a rare burst for any size and was more of a threat to take a short throw to the house.

    I saw Reggie do some dumb obstacle course against the two other Williams in that draft (Roy and Mike). I think it was prior to the draft. I was excited watching the other two guys look pretty slow at itz thinking that Reggie was going to blow their doors off. Instead he looked like an OL running and was so out of shape he barely finished the course.

    I had a bad feeling about the direction he was headed, and that turned out to be right. Too bad. Rome isn't going to have those issues.

    Think back to the Rome punt return against Cal. Didn't look fast. Left everyone in the dust

    I remember a Paul Arnold punt return that was similar. Didn't look fast, but he dusted everyone. Efficient stride I suppose...
