Foxsports Wide Receiver/Tight End Rankings

I can't make the case for the Chargers, Chiefs, Steelers, Raiders, and Seattle being ahead of us.

i like the esspn rankings better too, though i think #3 in pass catchers might be a bit high ;)

That is one of the worst ranking "lists" I have ever seen. It is ridiculous on so many fronts.

This is one of the worst articles that I have ever seen. I think the Chinese are hacking our sights again.

Seattle second? KC 7th? (I didn't really see "ageless Eddie Kennison" did I?) San Diego 5th? New England 10th? Are they ranking running games?

Let's get serious.

I would rather have a probowl wide out than tight end. Seattle and New England have neither.


Here is my top 10:

1. Indy - Marvin, Reggie, Stokely, Clark Their QB makes them "Simply the best"
2. Dallas - T.O., Glenn, Witten, Crayton is pretty strong (Glenn will come back to earth this year but T.O. will make up the difference).
3. Washington - Moss, Lloyd, Cooley, Randle-El. Probably the most balanced attack in football.
4. Arizona - Fitz, Boldin, Johnson, Pope. The first two are sickening. The last two make you vomit.
5. Carolina - All World Steve Smith, Meshawn, Colbert and Carter.
6. Rams - Touchdown Torry Holt, Bruce, Curtis. All three produce.
7. Cincy - Chad, Housh, & #8749942 (Henry).
8. Oakland - Why is everyone anti-Moss? He is the best in the game when healthy and luckily Porter was hit so hard by Taylor that he forgot to be afraid to go over the middle.
9. G-men - Burress, Shockey, Toomer - Not too bad.
10. Seahawks - Jackson, Burleson, Engram Stevens. Good on paper but let me know when all four will be healthy enough to start in the same game.

That is one of the worst ranking "lists" I have ever seen. It is ridiculous on so many fronts.

It is partially bc FOX is gay about their stat system. They do not use the conventional stat system for power rankings, and other rankings in general. They sweat their own nuts so much, they post ridiculous stuff like this.

Terry "Where's Sean Taylor" Glenn led the league in yards per catch as well as dumps per pants.

hahahaa

Randle El might be a #3 receiver, but no way Lloyd is. I think it is amazing that he put up those numbers with quarterbacks who were that bad. Hey remember when Lloyd put up 142 and 2 tds week 3 against the cowboys. Then he had Alex Smith starting 7 games and Cody Pickett starting 2 games...so thats 9 games where its pretty much not possible to do well. Lloyd still had 2 other 100 yard games when he didn't have these two terrible qbs. He was also the only receiving threat that they had, so he always had the best people covering him. He is definitely a legitimate #2 receiver, which is all that he has to be.

People also said that Moss was only a #3 receiver.

Exactly Moss had one decent season with the NYJ, and after that people considered he was washed up, etc. If you remember the trade with Coles, every Skins fan was pissed and unsure about Moss. The media gave the SKins and Danny Boy alotta shit for such a bad trade. But Gibbs saw potential and I guess that is all that really matters. He saw potential with Lloyd, because of his good performance with shitty QB's. If you compare the Lloyd pickup to getting Moss last year, the Lloyd pickup looks much better at this point in time, so hopefully Lloyd will blossom into a good reciever for our system.

Another idiotic comment from a Fox guy.

I guess that Fox has no clue that Gibbs was an offensive innovator back in the day and that Saunders and Gibbs are from the same tree.

What the hell is he talking about here? :

"New England Patriots -- Replacing kicker Adam Vinatieri with Martin Gramatica may be the strategic equivalent of subbing Guillermo Mota for Jonathan Papelbon."

Can someone tell me who the hell Guillermo Mota and Jonathan Papelbon are? You're right. This guy made absolutely no sense.

Yeah this idiot is just dropping random metaphors bc he thinks that makes him sound cool, but instead he is coming off as a total tool.
