I Know most will say S. Moss but I still think Hines Ward is the overall better Wide out. What do you guys think? I would like to know what your :2cents: are.

Im surprised no poll. Id take Moss in a minute over Ward. He is a little more leathal in my opinion. But thats just my homer pick. Ward is a cold beast and Im glad we dont see him often, but Id still take Moss over Ward. Ask me again with Chad Johnson, and you might get another answer.

Ward isn't that great of a deep threat were as santana can burn you from any spot on the field.
given the choice to take either one I would take Santana.
it's easier to find a possession reciever than a receiver with talent as rare as Moss's.

Moss. No question about it.

April-3rd-2006, 04:21 PM
Moss is more an explosive down-the-field threat, Ward is more of a utility guy. He gives you blocking, recieving, trick plays...etc. For our team and situation, plus the fact that he is younger.. i'd take Moss.

Moss is quicker more dangerous once he has the ball. He also burns people more often(R. Williams)
Ward will catch anything near him and will burn people just not as much.Tough guy for a fun loving character.
I'd take either but Moss is younger and has the potential to become more valuable than Ward

ward's more physical, but that's not what i look for in a wideout..

April-3rd-2006, 04:23 PM
my 300 lb friend (who plays line in high school) says He would rather match up against Moss because He feels all he has to do is hit him once which would knock the reciever down (within 5 yards) and the play would beover unlike ward who would not fall over and would probably get open.

i personally would pick Moss (no surprise there) but Hines Ward is a helluva a wideout who consistently puts up good numbers despite a young qb and a ground attack oriented offense(more so than the skins). plus he is the best blocking wideout, so in a sense he is a more complete WR, however moss had made some nice blocks and is just the more explosive and dangerous threat.

There is maybe one other reciever in all of football that contains the compliment of abilities that santana does, and his name is steve smith. There are a handfull of recievers I would rather have then these two for other reasons (c.johnson, t holt, r. moss). I love Heinz but he is not among them.

This is a redskins forum who in their right mind would say Ward? LOL.
That being said I think Ward is one of the classest players and always takes the hit to get the extra yard. I love watching him play and he has been clutch for a good few years now. Santana sort of exploded last year but before that he was a bit quiet having some great games and some not so great games with the Jets.
Overall I'd rather have Ward on my fantasy team but I'd take Santana any day for the Redskins.

i'm hoping you at least played football in highschool or peewee league or something. moss is faster than hell... he's burned safeties that start 15 yds. downfield from him.
without knowing who you are, i can't be 100% certain, but i'm fairly sure that santana moss would burn you on every single play, unless he had a fluke play and dropped the ball. even if you bumped him, you think he would just fall to the ground and be done?

There's a show on right now for people like you, called Pros vs Joes. I don't care how fast or strong you think you are, if professional NFL cornerbacks can't keep up with Santana Moss and his ridiculous speed and agility, then the odds of you coming close are about 1 in 100000. Given a QB who can actually throw a good deep ball and accurate pass, Moss would break your ankles dude.
That all being said, Ward is definitely a really good WR, definitely underrated overall, as are a lot of the offensive talent on the Steelers which is why I was happy they won the Super Bowl and got some recognition, and as people have already said Ward can block, play physical downfield, is a great locker room guy, etc. However, I'd still Moss just for his pure speed and quickness, just one look at what he was able to do last season on the stuttering Redskins offense when defenses KNEW we were gonna throw to him, yet he was able to make the big play anyway, proves what kind of capabilities the guy has.

"lay santana out"....what is he like some dummy who just stands there waiting for people to lay him out? i haven't seen any cbs or safteys lay him out and it's not like speed is the only thing he has....he isn't exactly small and weak
i'm not saying people can't lay him out but god some of u guys make it sound like moss is built like some 13 year old with nothing but speed

April-3rd-2006, 05:47 PM
there's a reason why santana moss is a successful player NFL, he's got the muscle, power, speed, and quickness to survive hits from DBs. Granted that he specializes more in the speed and quickness category, he still has enough power and muscle to survive hits. if he didn't, he wouldn't have lasted past his rookie year.
i personally wouldn't want to go up against santana, and i started at defensive tackle in high school and i'm a pretty big guy. i wouldn't want to go up against any NFL player for that matter (well maybe i could take john hall or tom tupa .. unless they kicked me), but yeah. most NFL players are pretty high up there in athletism and strength. us common folk would be no match for them. :doh:

I guarentee that noone who says they can, could really "lay out" or "keep up" with Santana, no, not even for one play. If there was any chance of that, you would have been evaluated for a team byt his point in your life. If you have been evaluated, then why arent you out there? He is destroying corners and safeties that were taken in the first round of drafts, professional athletes, that train day in and day out to stop people like Santana. He destroys these professionals on a regular basis, and you think YOU have a chance???? You guys who think that have been hanging out with Rickey Williams too long.

Santana Moss is without question one of the five best recievers in the NFL. So looking at the fact that Hines Ward wont have much help next season in light of the fact that we've got Randle El i take Santana Moss who should have a field day on just about every secondary in the league next season.

Moss had one good year. Versus Hines Ward? :laugh: Ward handles his business no matter what. And it's not because he's faster then everybody, or bigger, or anything like that. He's a true team-first player, clutch, and dependable day in and day out. Been like that for years. Yes, I said it, Hines Ward in a heartbeat. I'd think twice about sending moss over the middle, but with Hines, ha, that's where he makes his money.

This wasn't directed at me, but it applies none the less. The steelers are my #2 as well and here's a short explanation why. My Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles on my mother's side were all Steelers fans from the 70s. (My mom however is a Jets fan...no idea how that happened) A kind of distant relative married one of the players on those 70s teams. I was exposed to the Steelers quite a bit in my youth, and being from South Dakota, there wasn't any "local" team. However, when I actually started following football, I picked the Redskins on my own. I remember DG's punt return against Chicago in the 87 playoffs and his batted pass against the vikings in the NFC champ. game. SB22 speaks for itself (:notworthy Doug and Ricky!) After that I was smitten, but I'll always have a spot in my heart for the Steelers. However, when the Skins and Steelers play, I go for the Skins without question. You could say I have two teams, or you can say that I have a #1 and #2 that will never change. There is a big gap between the Skins and Steelers, but there is a HUGE gap between them and the rest of the NFL. No matter how you slice it, skins come first.
Having spewed that nonsense - Ward is my favorite non-redskin WR by far (maybe my favorite non-redskin period...with the possible exception of Champ). I love the way he plays and approaches the game (not saying I don't like how Moss plays/approaches), but in the end, I'm with the majority of the people here. Moss is a game-breaker. I'd take Santana, but not by a lot. Of course, if I could replace Lloyd or Randel El with Ward, I would :) I'm happy though with what we got - its still a HUGE improvement.

So what I can run a 4.31 which means I can keep up with him. Hes not that much faster then me. Which on the madden Scale gives me about a 93 or 94 speed compared to Santana 97 speed. ( May not be able to outrun him but I can keep up enough to jump higher then him and knock the ball down.

It seems pretty obvious to me that most NFL spectators will prefer the big playmaker to Mr. Reliable most of the time. Hines Ward is one hell of a receiver but Santana is more fun to watch and is far more explosive.
my 300 lb friend (who plays line in high school) says He would rather match up against Moss because He feels all he has to do is hit him once which would knock the reciever down (within 5 yards) and the play would beover unlike ward who would not fall over and would probably get open.
How many big guys even got close to Moss this season when he was moving with the ball and had any sort of separation? Moss isn't the most physical guy and he would probably *relatively* be easy to bring down... but you and your friend completely ignore the fact that you have to catch him first. At this point I'm not sure ANYONE in the NFL can and I seriously doubt you scrubs could.
Besides, I think that if your friend is really 300 pounds he'd probably be able to bring down Hines Ward without too much more difficulty (if he just falls on him the right way). He still wouldn't be able to catch even Ward, though.
I think I can keep up with moss I mean how tough would it be
1. First off I am fast
2. I am taller then moss (6' 4")
3. I have more muscle then moss
4. I can jump a decent height.
Muscle, height, and other qualitative features don't help your cause. Until you can prove that you can beat the NFL's fastest in a footrace and show that you can match Moss' agility... why even bother?
Hell, I have a build similar to Cooley... but that doesn't mean that I can run over Brian Dawkins :laugh:

Timed by my college Football Coach. And no I was not a track star our school did not have Track when I went there. (High School). I was just giving an estimation which is what madden does. It is something most people can put together. In their mind so they can compare myself and moss.

Tough question follow both teams but I give Santana the edge. Hines though he will do all the dirty work if he has to not only he's an excellent receiver but he's also great blocker. The knock on Ward is though he's not the fastest receiver in the world but, he's very reliable if you're to based it on pure speed a guy that can just embarassed a secondary Santana Moss..
DiscoBob
April-4th-2006, 07:17 AM
I'm a homer, but based purely on age, I'd take Moss...
but, it will really be determined by next year. Ward has been a consistant threat for a while, and Moss only proved to be a top tier WR last year. If he puts up similar #'s, I think it settles the question, but if not....? Longevity and consistance are the mark of a truely great football player, not one season...

Ward is a great receiver but IMO he is not one of the ELITE WRs of the game. He is not a gamebreaker. He is very popular and well liked because of the great person he is but in terms of talent, he doesnt compare to the likes of Owens, Moss, Moss, etc. Therefore I think Moss is the better receiver.

I say this with complete seriousness, and with my Redskins goggles off- Santana Moss is the best receiver in the league.
Steve Smith is great, but I think Moss is better. Chad Johnson is good, but not good enough to compare with Smith and Moss. Ward is good for touchdowns, but he doesn't get many yards. Randy Moss is no longer relevant.
In case someone wants to make an argument for T.O., you can't compare Brunell to McNabb. Plus, part of being the best is being a team player. Santana wins that one, hands down.

The choice was between Hines Ward and Santana Moss. Moss wins easily. But to say he is the best in the game, and not even mention the likes of Marvin Harrison, Bolden, Fitzgerald, and Holt? Are you sure the redskins goggles are off?

Moss had the numbers last year, but Ward is with him step for step (figuratively speaking of course). They are two different styled players. Explosive vs. Possession. Who do you think most would pick?
HTTR!

This thread has taken a sharp turn.
You should never claim to be able to cover one of the best wide receivers in professional sports.
That's just silly.

Ok, how about I bring the opinion of a Steelers fan who doesn't think he could cover Santana Moss...
I'm a huge homer, but I'd take Hines Ward. I think I, and a lot of Steelers fans, just subscribe to a different view on how to win the game. If you look back to the Steelers offenses the last few years, we were one of the few offenses where the possession wide reciever was the #1 WR, and the deep threat was the #2. And Plaxico Burress was no chump.
My point being the Steelers make Hines Ward their feature WR because he's a very good wide reciever, but more so because he has a better work ethic than possibly any other player in the NFL. As people have already said, he always takes the big hit, always makes the big block, always goes down the middle, and does it with a smile on his face. I think the attitude he brings and his presence in the locker room is extremely underrated. Having a player like Hines Ward really helps keep egos in check and helps to nurture the team first attitude that is drastically important. A player like Moss might make the passing game immediately better, but a player likes Hines Ward makes the whole offense, and even the entire team, better.
But hey, this coming from the guy who would marry Hines Ward given the opportunity. So understand I'm a little bit biased.
(But if I needed someone to go out for one deep pass to win the game, I'd take Moss.)

my 300 lb friend (who plays line in high school) says He would rather match up against Moss because He feels all he has to do is hit him once which would knock the reciever down (within 5 yards) and the play would beover unlike ward who would not fall over and would probably get open.
Well, yeah I can see why your friend would say that. In his case if either of them got past him in the first 5 yards its all over.

I would take hines because he is more rounded. Not saying Moss is not good because I think he is great but I prefer a good blocker and someone who can catch and go over the middle then just a long distance reciever.

All I can say is wtf is up with Korea giving Ward honorary citizenship recently? Your telling me if he doesn't win in the super bowl he doesn't get it? Hes been in the league for over 5 years and now they decide to give it to him? Its a great gesture but messed up at the same time.

The pick here depends on the QB.
Brunell would need Santana.
Whereas Roethlisberger would be successful with either...
So really you would need to know the QB first and then you can pick players around him that will match up with his abilities. And because of that it's hard to pick one or the other. If it's Big Ben at QB I would stick with Ward because of his overall game. But if I have an inconsistent QB I would want Santana because he can do so much in the passing game...

Too bad 300 pound DB's dont exist, as if a 300 pounder could get his hands on Moss before he got away anyway. If it was that easy then they would put Sumo wrestlers at CB and the really fast guys at safety just incase.

wow, that's brilliant. somebody should tell GW that we don't need corners! just get a bunch of fatasses to sit on the receivers as soon as they cross the line.
oh wait... then they go in motion...

Santana is fatser, more agile and quicker than Hines Ward, Ward has the better QB to throw it to him but if Santana had a better QB then his stats would have been much better. If we are goin on Stats then i still Take Santana and if we are judging by skill it take..... SANTANA ;) :notworthy

I Know most will say S. Moss but I still think Hines Ward is the overall better Wide out. What do you guys think? I would like to know what your are.
Santana is a bigger threat to change the game at anytime.

Before I answer, my big homer moment is this: some of you that are picking Hines Ward are treating Moss like he is delicate and a bad blocker... of which he was neither last year. He threw some beautiful blocks last year, and his elusiveness and speed made up for his size.
That being said...
I think for the 'Skins, Moss is better, and for the Steelers, Ward is better. It's a matter of style and what you need in your system, and I think in this case it is just as it should be. Overall, they are both fantastic wide-outs and I'm just happy with things the way they are.

I like Santana Moss but I just hope that this is no mirage. He has only been this good for 1 year. I hope all the fans realize this.

I don't think it's a mirage at all. If it was only one good game, I probably would agree. But he stood up for the entire season, he's in his prime now.
Just gotta keep gettin the man the ball, after that, he'll do the rest. :point2sky

Skin steelersfan Let me give you this point of view. We KNOW what Moss has done here. With that knowledge in hand heres a good theorem. A Moss in the hand is worth 2 Wards in the Bush. You don't stand a chance in hell of dissproving that one I garrauntee you. You can take that to the bank. Moss works here , NO DOUBT.
