I said it a few times. Last year at this time these threads were about Ford. Go back and look. "Ford is a special Talent". "HEs a Stud". etc etc. ANd you cant say he has 492 yards in 17 games. he was not a starter or playing WR until week 10. and he blew up when he played that game. He also has these 30-50 yard reverses for TD's like Moore. Ford is what 5-8 and Moore 6 feet. there both around the same size. I think moore is really a great WR but Ford is just as good . If I had to take one I would take Ford before I took Moore. Again love moore and think he will have some blowup weeks but the folks here need to read the Ben Tate threads (hes the #1 RB) and the Lance Kendrickson threads (He will be a top 3 TE) before we start claiming a guy is a top 15-20 WR . And now it seems that Torrey Smith is the best WR in the NFL. Guess Moore is yesterdays news.
Your "facts" are wrong.
Ford's Game Log For 2010First off, Ford was playing WR in week 7 (when he had 2 receptions for 15 yards) - I'll give you a mulligan for week 4 when he recorded a an 8 yard rush (which didn't go for a TD). Secondly he started in week 8 - and posted another 2 reception game for 22 yards.
Then he blew up in week 9...against KC. Thirdly, you mentioned "these 30-50 yard reverses for TD's like Moore" - except that Ford had only 2 rushing TDs - and one was 13 yards. Ford started 9 games in 2010 - and averaged about 50 yards receiving over that span and had 2 receiving TDs. In fact in 7 of those 9 starts, Ford had under 50 yards receiving and 3 or less receptions. Oh and btw, I'm 5' 8" - my brothers are both 5' 11" - no one considers us "about the same size."
Is there a lot of hype surrounding Moore? Yep. Was there a lot of hype around Kendricks, Ingram, and now T. Smith and probably even Victor Cruz? Sure. But there was also a lot of hype surrounding Fitz, Calvin, Randy Moss, AJ, etc. Sometimes where this is smoke, there actually IS fire.
