PFR shows 86 for Young/Rice. Out of curiosity, I tried to make a list of most prolific combos. I *think* it's complete down to 40:

112 Manning/Harrison
86 Young/Rice
79 Marino/Clayton
65 Kelly/Reed
63 Unitas/Berry
57 Favre/Freeman
57 Graham/Lavelli
56 Hadl/Alworth
55 Montana/Rice
55 Marino/Duper
53 Jurgensen/Taylor
53 Culpepper/Moss
52 Manning/Wayne
51 Anderson/Curtis
50 Garcia/Owens
49 Ryan/Collins
49 Aikman/Irvin
49 Bradshaw/Swann
48 Jaworski/Carmichael
48 Lomax/Green
47 Blake/Pickens
46 Hadl/Garrison
46 Krieg/Largent
46 Bulger/Holt
46 Dawson/Taylor
45 Bledsoe/Coates
44 Bradshaw/Stallworth
44 Stabler/Branch
44 Brunell/Smith
43 Moon/Hill
43 Unitas/Moore
43 Dawson/Buford
43 Zorn/Largent
42 Blanda/Hennigan
42 Namath/Maynard
41 Elway/Sharpe
41 Favre/Sharpe
41 Montana/Clarke
41 Fouts/Winslow
41 Tittle/Wilson
41 Lamonica/Biletnikoff
41 Albert/Beals

Perhaps the most surprising thing is who is NOT on there. Tarkenton threw 342 TDs in the regular season (3rd behind Favre and Marino) but not more than 25 to any particular player.

Marino and Manning are the only two with 50+ to two different players. Rice is the only guy to have caught 50+ from two different players.

Brady and Moss only played a season together. My favorite will always be Rice/Montana. Lets face it the best with the best.

Moss is a great receiver, Manning would do a better job with him. Toms over rated in my view. If Tom doesnt hvae another record year this season Ill be suprised. Never seen receivers get open like the Patriots.

Manning and Harrison have over 115. Young-Rice are not the best TD tandem anymore. Manning and Harrison are also the only tandem to go over 10k yards together. Pretty impressive.

Yeah but the question was your all time favorite, and that for me is Young-Rice IMO the best touchdown tandem ever. You would have to be living under a rock not to know about Manning-Harrison.

Im with you brother. I went with the Montana and Rice, but the Young/Rice combo was amazing as well.

Kelly to Reed

Objectively though Montana to Rice even though Young connected with him for more TDs.
