Sadly, we’ll never know if Derek Carr and Antonio Brown could have eclipsed the tandem of Lamonica and Biletnikoff. To be fair, those two are a tough act to top when it comes to the Raiders.

We know that Biletnikoff is one of the greatest wide receivers of all time, and he was never as good as when Lamonica was the one delivering the ball. The six years Biletnikoff spent catching balls from Lamonica were the best of his career. They were also good for the Raiders, who won five division titles during that span. Biletnikoff was still good when Ken Stabler took over at quarterback, but no tandem in Raiders history tops the Lamonica-Biletnikoff connection.
