He needs 66 more to pass Jerry Rice......I think 66 is a stretch, but he'll get close......say whatever you want about T.O., but the numbers don't lie.....one of the all-time greats

    I say yes. The guy is in AMAZING shape. If he stays healthy, he could absolutely do it.

    I hope he doesn't, personally. Rice was a great TEAM player through good and bad. T.O.?, not so much

    I don't think there's any chance that happens. He'll be 35 years old before the season is over. He's averaged approximately 11 TD's per year for his career. He'd need to keep up his current pace for 5 years after this one just to tie Rice. Jerry Rice had 154 TD's after 12 seasons which is the same point TO is at right now.

    If anybody has a shot it's Randy Moss. He is 3 years younger than TO and has 125 TDs. After 10 seasons Jerry Rice had 131 which is the same point Moss is at right now.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    That being said, I don't think anybody will touch Rice's record until they expand the season to 18 games. He's so far out there it's very hard for receivers to maintain a high level past age 35.

    T.O. is bigger than Rice, but I wouldn't question Rice's conditioning

    His current contract runs through 2011 when he will be 38. I just don't see him playing till he's in his 40's so I would have to say no shot.

    The other td records will be broken in the next 5-6 years though. LT over Payton for rushing tds and Manning will pass Favre for passing tds but Rice's record is safe.

    Say what you will about T.O., but this guy will go down as one of the best WR's of all time. I think it's up to him if he wants to break this record. This guy is in phenomenal shape and is definitely one of the best WR's in the league at the age of 35, which is pretty remarkable.

    I think he will do it.

    TO is more muscular but he is not in better shape than Rice, Rice was a workout maniac.

    Hard to say ....provided he stays in Dallas .....the Romo connection plus getting to play the Eagles twice a year has to improve his chances greatly!

    you sir must stay in Canada and do some research on football before making silly comments..if you look at the stats he's usually been relatively shut down by the eagles

    Since 2000, he's averaging 14.5 TDs a year. He would need almost 5 more seasons of maintaining that rate to break the record which means playing until age 39.

    It would be funny if he's just short of the record and looks back at the 9 games he missed when he sabotaged the 05 Eagles season in his prime.

    Btw, he is really lucky that the arbitrator ruled to give his rights to the Eagles instead of the ravens in 2004 or we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
