Isn't Hines the Steelers leader in either receiving yards or catches? If so, that surpasses Stallworth and Swann. Swann is in the HOF correct?

[starbuck]

both Swann and Stalworth are in the HOF. I think Hines is the all time leader in every category for a Steeler WR.

"Though quiet this past weekend, Ward is leading the NFL in receptions covering 20 yards or more (10), is second in receiving yards (602) and is fourth in total receptions (42). Ward is lingering on several NFL career receiving lists that, with reasonably modest acceleration, could put him on the very highest level of all-time NFL receivers.
There are only five players who have passed the 1,000-catch milestone. Ward stands at 842 and can join that list with reasonable expectation. He has 74 touchdown receptions and 10,382 receiving yards. Fifteen more touchdowns and 1,800 more yards put him in the top 10 in both of those fraternities. If those things happen, the discussion ends."

To me, the HOF is watered down. Too many people get in.

If it were up to me, you'd get one chance to go in. One vote and that is it. It is supposed to be the best of the best. Hines Ward - one of the best ever? Not a chance. Great player - yes. Not legend, not elite, etc etc etc. I wouldn't put him in.
