Which football player is a better all-time receiver?

Question

Hines Ward of the Steelers in his prime or Andre Johnson of the Texans?

Answer 1

If I were to pick based on stats alone, I would probably pick Johnson, but his numbers come from meaningless games with a losing team.  Ward made plays in games that actually mattered and helped his team win, so I'm going with Ward all the way.

Answer 2

Johnson is better

Answer 3

Andre! Soft Spoken off the field and feared on it. It doesn't matter who his qb is he makes them look good and catches anything his direction. He has more talent the Hines and is younger.  

Answer 4

Andre Johnson  

Answer 5

ward

Answer 6

about your question its hines ward seriously the best all time is jerry rice

Answer 7

Johnson hands down

Answer 8

Andre Johnson is a better reciever but has never had that stand out QB to help prove it. Unlike Hines Ward, with Big Ben.

Answer 9

Andre Johnson has better weapons, Hines Ward is tough, but short.  He was above average in the speed department, He only got redzone targets because he is tough not because of Height or vertical jumping skills.Andre is 6,3 and very fast.  He has good hands, and had suckish Qbs David Carr.  Matt schaub is a up and coming star, but only played 9 games with him.

Currently Ward because he has a Super bowl MVP under his belt, but Johnson is still in his prime, he has more talent but is less accomplished

Answer 10

He doesn't mean who the best all time receiver is. He means who was better in their prime.

To answer your question, it is definatly Andre Johnson, he has better physical tools and has put up better stats in his career. While Hines Ward is ocassionally underrated, he still doesn't touch Johnson in terms of skill or stats.

Answer 11

I have two...Jerry Rice and Randy Moss...I dont know who your picks are. : (
