ATLANTA (AP) — This much we know after Roger Goodell’s annual State of the NFL gabfest leading up to the Super Bowl.The league has never been stronger. The commissioner is a fan of the game. And there was a missed call in the NFC championship game.But Goodell doesn’t want to use his immense power to improve the NFL by changing officiating rules Taylor Rapp Jersey , getting Colin Kaepernick back into the league, figuring out where the Raiders should play next season or even to make sure stadium food is cheaper. And no, he never considered ordering a replay of the moments after the missed call in the Rams-Saints game.Our apologies, Who Dat Nation.It was all so slick, of course, watching Goodell turn Wednesday’s news conference into a display of bobbing and weaving, ducking and parrying — all while making sure not to take a stand on much of anything, certainly not while standing in front of a massive ballroom packed with hundreds of media from around the globe.He downplayed his role in almost every issue facing the NFL, from Kaepernick to officiating to halftime entertainment, kicking the can to team owners, league committees or Maroon 5 .Officiating was on everyone’s mind, a huge stain on the league after the debacle that occurred in the NFC championship. But Goodell wouldn’t be lured into giving details on possible solutions, whether it be increased use of replay (the most obvious way to address the problem) or a suggestion that the league add an eighth official.Instead Shareef Miller Jersey , we got the smooth-as-silk Goodell offering up an order of non-commitment, covered with a heaping helping of covering all the bases.“As it relates to what I think my role is, it’s to make sure that the Competition Committee understands that this is critical for us to analyze, to evaluate and try to see if there’s a better solution than what we have today,” Goodell said.We certainly hope there’s a better solution than what we saw a couple of Sundays ago, when the officials didn’t bother to call an egregious pass interference penalty (nor a personal foul for a clear helmet-to-helmet hit) that would’ve likely sent the New Orleans Saints to the Super Bowl.Instead, the Los Angeles Rams were left with enough time to drive for a tying field goal and win the game in overtime, sending them on to Atlanta to face the New England Patriots.Goodell acknowledged that the call was blown, but came up far short of offering the aggrieved fans in the Big Easy any sort of satisfaction.“We understand the frustration that they feel right now,” the commish said. “We certainly want to address that.”Then, he proceeded not to address much of anything.“Whenever officiating is part of any kind of discussion postgame, it’s never a good outcome for us,” Goodell said. “We know that Germaine Pratt Jersey , our clubs know that, our officials know that. But we also know our officials are human. We also know that they’re officiating a game that moves very quickly and they have to make snap decisions under difficult circumstances. And they’re not going to get them right every time.”But when the officials get one so wrong, it’s up to those in charge — starting with the guy at the top — to take a strong, forceful, unequivocal stand that restores a bit of confidence.Goodell did none of that.He wouldn’t commit to force changes. For that matter, he wouldn’t commit the league to making any changes.“The game is not officiated by robots. It’s not going to be,” Goodell said. “We will look again at instant replay. There have been a variety of proposals over, frankly, the last 15 or 20 years. Should replay be expanded? It does not cover judgment calls. This was a judgment call. The other complication is that it was a no-call. Our coaches and clubs have been very resistant, and there has not been support to date about having a replay officials or somebody in New York throw a flag when there’s no flag.”Just when it sounded like Goodell was taking a position, he quickly put that notion to rest.“They have not voted for that in the past. It doesn’t mean that we won’t,” said Goodell, ducking off the ropes and finding plenty of space in the middle of the ring.Goodell took the same tack on any other issue of substance.He shrugged off a significant dip in the reduction of minority head coaches http://www.bengalsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-ryan-finley-jersey , not to mention the dearth of minorities who serve as offensive coordinator and quarterback coaches — the spots on the staff that most often provide a conduit to the top job. “We don’t look at one-year increments,” he said.Just as troubling, he treated Kaepernick’s continued blackballing (now at two years and counting) as nothing more than a personnel matter, insisting that all 32 teams decided, completely independent of each other, that a quarterback who led the 49ers to a Super Bowl is no longer qualified to play.Naturally, it has nothing to do with the national anthem protests that Kaepernick led in a bid to address racial and social injustice, a stand that won’t be a judgment call at all when history is written. Kaepernick was right. Goodell and NFL were wrong.Finally, Goodell found his sweet spot.A child journalist asked him if it was tough to be commissioner and a fan of the game.“What a good question!” Goodell exclaimed.Actually, there were plenty of good questions.Just not a lot of answers. As throwing the ball has become more prevalent than ever in the National Football League, the wide receiver position is that much more important to NFL teams. As such, there have been several receivers who have emerged as superstars thanks to putting up monster numbers over the years.Every team in the league has their No. 1 receiver, but of course Renell Wren Jersey , not all receivers are created equal. Those near the bottom of the list specialize in one or maybe two things, while the truly elite receivers can do it all. Those elite receivers are matchup proof and sometimes it doesn't matter what an opposing defense does, they simply can't be stopped.So, what makes a receiver truly great?The first thing is having the speed to stretch a field. Not only can these guys be relied upon to make big third-down catches thanks to great hands, but they can also break big plays that can change a game in the blink of an eye. Even when a throw is hotly contested by a cornerback, these receivers can go up over defenders to make catches in any given scenario.What's also important is being able to produce regardless of who is behind center. The best of the best can compile yards even when a quarterback isn't at his best, which just goes to show that sometimes a receiver can make his quarterback better.While it's easy to put together the bottom of this list, things get really tricky as you get to the better receivers. Ranking elite receivers against one another isn't easy, but we'll try to do our best here. Just keep in mind, the top three or four guys could go either way.Without further adieu, here's the No. 1 receiver from every team in the NFL and how they rank from best to worst.
