    Is Hines Ward a good #1 receiver?

    just wondering what you guys think. is he a dominant receiver.

    2001 - 94 for 1003 10.7 average 4 tds 34 yards (longest TD)
    2002 - 112 for 1329 11.9 average 12 tds 72 yards (longest TD)
    2003 - 95 for 1163 12.2 average 10 tds 50 yards (longest TD)

    67 catches of 20+ yards
    8 catches of 40+ yards

    i simply want your opinion on him.

    What the hell type of questions is that?
    He is definately a #1 WR. He is a dominant WR.
    He is one of the top 10 WRs in the league

    He's OK-

    He is a good , if not one of the best, blocking WR's- but I don't think he's an elite WR like Harrison, or even moulds

    Ward is a damn hard worker, a good blocker and is a big time possession guy. I think he is a good starting number 1 wide receiver. I think this is the guy I like to compair Josh Reed to. At least that is my hope.

    I would rank him about 14. So a slightly above average #1 receiver I guess. Let me guess - Does this have something to do with Josh Reed?

    He's like Peerless Price in that he has to have another very good WR opposite of him to be effective.

    could you tell me what 13 you would put in front of him, if you have time?

    Peerless and Ward are both number ones. The definition of a number one WR is a WR who is at least the 32nd best WR in the league.

    If you use that theory then yes but can they get there numbers with whoever is starting next to them?

    i disagree.. for me to consider you a number one.. you have to be the best receiver on your team, and produce.

    hines ward is definately a number one. no question about it.

    peerless is not a number one.. not yet at least.

    Hines Ward is one of the top WR in the league. e is only 6' tall, yet still makes TD catches in the endzone. He gets the yards, catches, and YAC. There is no way there are 13 WR better than him. I would say the only ones I would put above him now are Harrison, TO, Moss, and a healthy Moulds. Holt is close behind Ward, IMO.

    I don't know...TO, aside from this past year, is just so physical that I would have to put him ahead if he keeps his head in the game. His hands aren't nearly as good, and I would say they are just slightly above average for a starting WR, but his size makes him such a great threat.

    Holt is questionable, and it is arguable. I always pick Holt above Ward in fantasy, but looking at who is throwing, I still pick Ward.

    Hines Ward is definately a top 5 WR, the only players id rank above him would be, Owens, Moss, Harrison. Look at his QBs in that time, not exactly the cream of the crop.

    Ward use to be a QB,he is smart and can read the D.He is fast and tough for running a reverse.And will catch just about everything thrown his way,even if he knows he is going to get nailed.I'd put him in the top 5.

    1)Moss
    2)Harrison
    3)TO(healthy)
    4)Moulds(healthy)
    5)Ward
    6)Holt
    7)Horn
    8)Cole
    9)S.Smith
    10)A.Boldin
    To the world you might be one person,but to one person you might be the world.

    nice lineup fixer...i'd have to agree with the top 8 (not necessarily in that order). Not sure about the next 3, but I'd have to throw Chad Johnson in there...probably at number 10, and bump AB to 11
