Not for his personality, but you got to give AB the title, it's really not even close.

All that greatness made him crazy

Well, something sure did. Bat crazy and he still is. I wonder if him failing to get a WR job is gonna make him worse?

Yeah...he's crazy as two left shoes.

Hines is running away with the poll. Likability factor obviously.
My vote is the least popular there and likely here.

John Stallworth.

It's scary, actually...
He didn't even have a full career in Pitt - was probably still in his prime when he was shipped off...

To me, that's the only thing that makes it close is the effort to compare 6-7 *amazing* years vs 10-12 *really good* years with say Hines...

AB's "amazing" years were so over-the-top incredible. He and Ben were just astonishing in what they did. I love Hines and like the poll, lean that way, but knowing there is really no comparison on who the better WR really was.

agreed

switch eras and see how john and AB fare

[The Man of Steel]

Hines made 1,000 receptions plus his blocking skills were on a whole other level so there really is no debate at this time.

[SteelerOfDeVille]

Seems the only thing we've agreed on so far is that it isn't swann. He has some of the best highlight plays but, meh...

If greatness is defined merely by measures like ability and statistics, it's probably nut-case AB

If we're also factoring in character, being a team player, and helping to win championships, there are clearly others who are ahead of Mr. Big Chest -- including Ward, Stallworth & Swann ... IMO.

BTW, Pickens feels snubbed that he didn't make it on any of y'all's lists

[LPMAN]

John Stallworth. 63 TDS in an era where we mainly ran the ball....AB had 74 as a Steeler in a pass happy league.

Am I the only one who occasionally gets a dipping a toe in the diva pond vibe from from Pickens sometimes?

He's a WR.

Ramon Foster was saying he thinks they are all like this because their success is almost entirely dependent on another player (the QB). Doesn't matter how well they run routes if they don't get the ball.
