Greatest Steelers WR tournament

Hello all. I'm running a Greatest Steelers WR tournament on my social media networks. The first match up is Antonio Brown vs. Mike Wallace. There will be 8 opening round matchups with 16 receivers in all, with voting determining who goes on, single elimination, NCAA style.

Head over to Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/steelcityunderground or Twitter - https://twitter.com/steelcityundrgr to vote.

Stay tuned to this thread for additional matchups. I hope to post one per day. (And remember, this is all for fun... and, well, to increase some viewership for my social networks and website. Shameless plug, I know! Thanks for your support!)

that ones not even close

Most of the opening round are no-brainers. It will get interesting from there.

4 years ago this would have been interesting. Now it's like is this a trick question?

Wallace lead the team in receiving 3 years. Brown has only done it twice. So it's still relevant when you're trying to squeeze 16 players into an elimination-style tournament :-)

who's laughing now?

LOL... he still hasn't had a better year there than he has in Pittsburgh.

No problem! Yeah, this is one of the first A vs B debates. Most of these will be clear cut. I don't see anyone voting out Lynn Swann in the first round, for example.

Better hold that tournament here. I'm not on Facebook

BTW, it's safe to say AB is running away with this one

Obviously you haven't been following the Steelers Vote Off Game thread. Don't be too sure about that!

True but wallace always disappeared in big games or clutch situations. On the flipside, Brown thrived in pressure situations since his rookie season.

It's what separates the good from the great. the good will blow up the stat charts and be fantasy football heroes. the great produce when you need it most and win championships.

wallace = good, AB = great

I'll be surprised if wallace gets even 25% of the votes.

I wasn't being serious. It was a joking reference to another thread.

Haha, that's cool. Bryant won't be in this. Based on his very short window of success (thus far) if I placed him in this, I'd have to include some others.

I will probably get flamed over at least one choice I made, but I had good reason for including them. :-)

Just a wild guess, dwight 'hands of' stone?

This one's a little closer in competition than the others have been recently.
