How does this Steelers wide receiver group stack up across the league?

Hines Ward said during a recent interview with the Trib that this current group is most talented he's seen in Pittsburgh in a long time.

He said he doesn't compare this team to other Steelers teams, but he is excited at all the talent at wide receiver. The potential is scary good and he can't wait to see what they can do in the regular season. There can't possibly be enough balls to go around can there?

As far as this group, potentially speaking, if you look at what they are capable of you'd have to say they are right up there with the best groups in the league. The only better overall right now is the Packers.

Ward, Wallace, Brown, Cotchery, alone are all capable of being "go to" guys and making a play when needed. Then you all in Sanders who even though he's hurt showed more than enough last year to make you think he's got what it takes. Then factor in Heath Miller and the passing game for Pittsburgh can stack up against anybody in the league.

Scary good, IMO we have quietly the best out there...

I would argue with Cotchery, we are now even better than the Packers. At least with better depth anyway.

This WR core has the potential to be damn good......Wallace is already the best deep WR in the NFL and really is improving his overall game to be a complete WR.....I think he is in the top 10 best WR's in the NFL period.......Both Brown and Sanders are in the 2nd and really its how these two young WR's play this year will determine how good this WR core will be.....If both Brown/Sanders play like I think they can then really the sky is the limit for this group.....
