Ramsey isn't close to being the qb that bledsoe is (or the qb he once was). I know that Bledsoe is capable of winning games if he has protection. Ramsey may or may not be able to do so. He's a question mark. And I wouldn't say he did more with less either. His performance was mediocre and the...

He's got as much, if not more, going for him than serval qb's who have led teams to the super bowl in years past. We can start with Dilfer. Then there's Jeff Hostetler(came in week 10 that year and led G-man to the title). Rypien. Doug Williams. I'm not a big fan of his but I wouldn't go so far...

False, the guy who made the original post that I responded to was NOT talking fantasy. He's claiming that the REDSKINS downgraded at WR and he posted stats that don't even reallytback up his claim to prove it(the stats about drops is funny but doesnt' tell the story). Not sure who the "We" is...

Damn! Why do those gms and coaches and players spend so much time watching film. ALl they really have to do is check the stats. btw-the discussion wasn't about fantasy ball. It was about whether or not the skins upgraded/downgraded or remain the same at the wr position. I dont' see fantasy...

No, what I keep saying is that at best it's a wash except for the fact that, overall, they have more speed at the position. I'm also saying that the they haven't gotten a tandem yet. Patten is not a number one or two. Moss is not a number 1. To date, they don't have a "tandem". Maybe they'll...

ou make the assumption Jason looked at raw stats and came up with an arguement.Not an assumtion, btw. That's clearly what he did. Had he watched every skins game last year he wouldn't even have brought this topic up. As I said before, coles and gardner dropped many balls and they didn't catch...

I used the stats to suppliment my argument. Not to make it. My point about Riggo would have been valid had I not mentioned the stats. I know from watching him and that team that his average was affected by their style of play late in games. He's not in the hall for his stats. And George Allen...

You're absolutely correct. Coles and Gardner WERE a liability in the passing game. Coles caught 93 balls last year. Looks pretty good on paper but those of us who watched the games(i watched most of them twice) know that they were,for the most part, terrible. I would add that it's debatable...

A couple of more things. I'm not "excited" about any of the wr's the skins had last year OR the ones they have this year so far. I'm only saying that I'm not seeing much difference and that there's nobody on last years offense(skill players) who is a "must have" player. Portis is the closest...

I'm not "disregarding"the stats. I've made that perfectly clear. Building a straw man to try to make your point isn't going to work. There are too many factors involved to start pretending that stats are the end all to be all when we're talking about real football(which is what we're talking...

One more thing. When we talk about drops, the stats don't always add up to what we see on the field. Much of it is a judgement call(like hits vs errors in baseball. You never know how they will rule it, especially on the road, but you know an error when you see one). I know that Coles and...

Thanks! A pleasure to be here. I've got no problem with stats. I have a big problem with how they are misused. When talking about FF, they might be useful but when it comes to the real game(and that's what we're really talking about here) there are factors to consider that can't be measured by...

Why the bashing? Because people who don't like the team love to bash em.It's what they get off on. They will bash the team for spending too much cash and then bash em again when they show fiscal restraint. They bash em for keeping players and bash em for letting players go. It's the way it goes...

No rain on this parade. You can overanalyze the stats all you like. Coles and gardner couldn't make big plays and they couldn't hang onto the ball. Coles has ALWAYS been over rated and gardner is mediocre(Mccants is as good). And then there's the fact that they haven't drafted yet. coles and...

moss and patten didn't drop half the passes that coles and gardner did. And since we're still in the offseason and the draft hasn't happened, far too early to tell if they will improve, decline or remain the same at the wr position. We won;t know that until september. After the draft and after...
