Think what he would have done in an air raid offense instead of power I

I just feel like Blackmon had that "It" factor. That special ability that very few have at any level. That clutch gene. Every single coverage was thrown at JB also, along with being bracketed a lot of the time as well. Dykes was an absolute freak and I'm not taking anything away from him. Yes JB played in a more dynamic offense but like I said above, he was also doubled more. Dykes also played along side 2 of the best RB's of all time. Teams couldn't take away from the box to add another guy onto Dykes a majority of the time.

I think you can argue the positioning of 1-4 but you can't argue any of them being below 4. Beyond that it's personal preference. Personally if you want to tell me Mays or Wallace were better than Washington I'll listen but vs Woods or Dez just no.
Also no knock on Gundy as a QB but it would have been interesting to see what Dykes would have done with Weeden or Rudolph as his QB. Hell no knock on Robinson as well but you could argue the same for Dez. Romo is no slouch but Weeden to Dez against a 5'8" 2* from Kansas and we may see him break Woods record.

He's #1 on my list.
Also, Mayes wasn't a wide receiver.
Most everyone else has tight ends on their list.
Then we should alter the thread title.

Blackmon #1
In 1988, we used to comment how Hart made Gundy look good with his ability to get the ball.
I don't remember if it was Hart (1988) or Mayfield (1988/89), but there was a crossing route that Gundy threw behind the WR about 15 yards down field and he just reached back with one arm and grabbed it. It was looking like a pick from the moment Gundy threw it.
1988 - Hart 1278 yards. All the other WR's totaled 590 yards. TE's - 112 yds
It was Dykes

Is that when people started hating Gundy? Was this before or after he made Parker drop that pass in the end zone?

I was at the 1988 OSU-OU game and it was more about the bogus roughing call, when it was actually the OU guy pulling the OSU guy out of bounds. Just watched the TV replay of it for the first time ever and even the announcers said it was a bad call.
I have never heard anyone blame Gundy for the 4th down play and Parker dropping the ball.
It was 1989 that everyone realized Gundy was a game manager. Playing with Thurman Thomas, Barry Sanders, and Hart Lee Dykes has a way of making the QB look good.
1989 went 4-7 and started the season with a loss at Tulsa and capped it off with a home loss to Iowa State.
Gundy was a good QB, but he wasn't great. OSU didn't have very many good QB's in the following years.
Tom brady is a game manager on the 1989 team
Tom is the GOAT, but I don't think he would have done very well at the age of 12.
89 team was bad because Pat Jones couldn't replace the War Pigs.
Gerald Hudson would have been a Heisman candidate in 89 and 90 if he had a line.
