Re: Keep your heads up, there is some hope now
For route running, separation, and hands, I'd take Reggie Wayne.
For toughness, ability to adjust to poorly thrown balls, and ability to BAIL OUT HIS QB, I wouldn't. i.e. HE'S SOFT
How did Manning throw 6 INTs agains the Chargers? He was under pressure (No Tony Ugoh) and his throws were a bit inacurate, but on at least 2 of those 6 Wayne could have gone up and played DB and stopped the INT but he stood there at watched the INT happen.
On most teams, your QB gets pressured and make those kind of throws, and your WR/TE has to bail your QB out. I don't think Wayne is capable and, for this reason, AT HOME, I expect the Ravens to pressure Manning and get their fair share of INTs from him, UNCONTESTED by Wayne/Moorehead/etc
Edit: This is where, while I hate him, Hines Ward is a great WR for adjusting to balls thrown way behind him, etc. To his credit, Mason is also great at doing this.
