few things make me smile as much as that video
Nah, Mike Brown voted against Goodell becoming commish a few years ago, so he's spiteful. Not just Chad fines, but some of Chris Henry's suspensions, Odell Thurmans...all in comparison to similar players who have done similar things.
Again, that's the first time I've seen you say that. Again, you have to put things into perspective. You can't just point at stats and go "yeah, he's elite." How much good does it do you if he has 4 games where he gets 30-40yrds then has 1 for 150+? I'll take consistency son, it's how you win the games that count (read: playoff games).
So what if he had some 40 yd games? He had plenty of 70-90 yard ones too. He burned the fuck out of the Saints secondary too on a triple team.
I'm not saying he's elite yet either, I agree with consistency. Not from game to game though - if he puts up 1000 yd seasons for the next 2-3 years then you can consider him elite. He's going to draw alot more coverage this year so I don't expect him to repeat 1300 but if more catches by Witten/Stonehands/Dez/Ogletree make up for it then what does it matter.
Btw, how long did it take us to get to the playoffs as a franchise? We've been there now many times since? We've won how many in how many years?
We've been through this, it's not like that though. you can't point at the 2 games of KC and Falcons as inflating his stats. Sure he put up amazing numbers those games, but he got 800 more yards over 10 other games, I think that's consistent to me.
I'll cut my Boys hate off for a second and give you the fact that he was nice the last 6 games of the season. I just think it's going overboard to assume that it'll carry over to this season. Edit: Like I was all gung ho thinking Moore would be the shit with the way he played at the end of the year last year, but now I'm pretty sure our best QB will be sitting on the sidelines. I will happily admit that I was wrong if he comes out strong again for the first few weeks this year. Until then, I have my reservations as we've seen scenarios like this played out plenty of times before.
If hes the #1 receiver he will get all the opportunities and should carry over, assuming he doesn't get hurt. He is obviously not a bad player. The first 3 years he was always hurt with a hammy or something in the preseason so they never got to see what he was capable of, then he gets stuck as the 4th receiver during the regular season and never sees the field. All about opportunity.

5 Surprising predictions
1. VY and CJ become first duo to have 3500 yards with no other involvement. I.E. 2500 rush/rec from CJ, another 1000 rush from VY. Not to mention another 2500 passing from VY to other people
2. The Bucs are the best of last year's terribads. Chiefs, Lions, Hawks, Rams, Redskins, Browns all win 5 games or less. Bucs manage 6 or 7.
3. Jets miss the playoffs... by 3 or more games, and are last in the East.
4. Bengals are sub-500 despite Palmer actually putting up the numbers he's capable of.
5. Kenny Britt is a top 3 receiver.
If Vince Young wins the MVP, I'll eat my boxer briefs.
The Miami Trifecta of Bill Parcells, Tony Sparano, and Jeff Ireland have brought another former Cowboys' talents to South Beach.
Right team, wrong position.The Dolphins acquired offensive lineman Pat McQuistan from Dallas for an undisclosed 2011 pick, according to Todd Archer of the Dallas Morning News. (It's probably a sixth- or seventh-round pick.)
McQuistan was set to make $1.1 million this year. He'll provide depth, likely as a swing tackle behind Vernon Carey and Jake Long. McQuistan can also play guard.
It's the second trade the Cowboys made this afternoon after they shipped Patrick Crayton to San Diego in a salary-related move.
