KC Joyner has done some expert analysis and decided the best wide receiver in football is .... Mike Wallace.
The article takes a look at the difference between Mike Wallace of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions. Joyner meticulously pours over only the stats the support his point and completely ignores some of the obvious reasons his conclusion is asinine.
According the Joyner the only stat that really seems to matter is yards per attempt. He doesn't seem to care that Johnson faces a significantly higher number of double teams or that being targeted more in the end zone would have a negative impact on his YPA. He discounts the disparity in touchdowns and never mentions the difference in team make up that might allow Wallace more open field to work with.
For rambling on for as long as he does Joyner does a half-assed job in really comparing the two receivers. As one commenter on Joyner's article states "crunch all of the numbers you want, if you told all 32 GM's they could have Megatron or Wallace on their team tomorrow, who are they picking?"
