Nothing surprises us about Papa Smurf anymore. Not. A. Thing. 2009 was an amazing season for (then) 33-year old Hines Ward, as he put up numbers you’d normally see out of a spry young superstar. 95 catches, 1,167 yards and 6 TDs, all with a bad hamstring and being the de facto WR2 on team usually known for its running game is really something special. He’s still the most feared receiver by defensive backs and his heart is tops in the NFL, as he proved once again by not missing a game the entire year despite his hamstring injury and offseason shoulder surgery (he’s only missed 6 games in his 12-yr career). Six weeks into the 2009 season, he was leading the NFL in both yards and receptions (tied), and even though he slowed down a bit after that, he was still a joy to watch no matter where he was on the field.
~ Ranked 16th in the league with 150.7 WR fantasy points (basic scoring system)
~ Tied for 28th in the league with 6 receiving touchdowns
~ Tied for ninth in the league with 1,167 receiving yards
~ Ranked 12th in the league with 72.9 receiving yards per game
~ Ranked eighth in the league with 95 receptions
~ Ranked tenth in the league with 136 targets
~ Tied for 13th in the league with 15 receptions of 20+ yards
~ Ranked 13th in the league with 56 catches for first downs
~ Ranked 20th in the league with 415 yards after the catch (YAC)
Age doesn’t seem to matter with certain players… while some even manage to get better. Hines Ward is looking like one of those players right now, and there’s not much reason to think that trend won’t continue in 2010. The Steelers former #1 receiver, Mr. Spliff, was sent off to New York after they could no longer deal with the cloud-cover that followed him wherever he went. That leaves Ward as the most trusted receiver in the locker room, and Pittsburgh will use him accordingly. Young Wallace will get his fair share of looks as well, but with Ben Roethlisberger being suspended for at least the first 4 games, the offense will more than likely go with what they trust, at least to begin the season. A repeat of his 95 catches isn’t too far-fetched, and neither are his 1,167 yards, while his 6 TDs look like they could be on the rise as well. He’ll be a solid WR2 for any fantasy team he’s on in 2010, as long as his age still refuses to catch up to him.
~ Byron Leftwich is a good enough replacement for Big Ben over the first 4-6 games for Ward owners to not have to worry
~ The Steelers may go back to a run-first attack, but that actually plays into Ward’s biggest strength
~ Hines will be the WR1 on the Steelers this year
~ Will age or injuries finally catch up to him?

Though he happens to be one of our favorites, Hines is certainly one of the most controversial players in the league:
Despite the video quality, these are two of the finest minutes of football we've seen:
Of course, payback is a bitch...
A couple of years back, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger made comments concerning the team's lack of size at the WR position, comments to which Hines Ward took some serious offense.
We still can't believe Big Ben said these things, so we're reposting the story here:
In April of 2009, Ward signed a four-year, $22.1 million contract extension (included $4.35 million in bonus money) that will keep him in Pittsburgh for the remainder of his career. Kudos to the organization for giving this class act the love he worked so hard to deserve:
2010 - $4 million
2011 - $3 million
2012 - $4 million
2013 - $4 million
2014 - Free Agent
Antwaan Randle El is the handcuff to Ward for the moment, but keep a close eye on rookie Emmanuel Sanders
The guy has missed a total of 6 games in TWELVE YEARS, and this despite his all-out physical play. Unreal
