The sporting news: coles over santana

the new issue of The sporting news scouting guide ranks Laveranues coles (11) ahead of Santana moss (12)

I cannot stand this, this is ridiculous

well its good thing you posted this twice

but is this overall rankings or fantasy rankings?...but i guess it really doesnt matter because moss beats him in both

Are you joking me? I dont think this can be possible. Even the likes of Dr. Z and Peter King would have a hard time ranking coles over moss after the seasons both of them had last year.

I deleted your other thread about this.

Anyway, I think PFW's scouting guide also has Coles over Santana. They also have Jimmy Smith, the retired Jimmy Smith, over Santana.

And they have Curtis Martin at #7 at RB, and Larry Johnson at #11.

I don't think these are fantasy rankings per se, but still.The criteria was overall career performance, 2005 performance, and career potential. LJ easily takes two of three of those.

Maybe they were picking names out of a hat.

Moss has single season receiving yards record for the Washington Redskins Coles doesn't.
End of f'n story.
Maybe Peter King's influence?

hahahahhahha.

i know a ton of hard core football fans and not one of them would pick coles over moss in any category. but i dont talk bad about coles. played his heart out while here. and things worked out better for the skins

My only guess is that these people may see Santana's '05 season as a bit of a fluke, which is crap.
Plus, even if you make the arguement that Coles is a better individual player you have to remember that the WR can't throw himself the ball. The jets have an o-line with 2 rookies and a qb with a perma-seperated shoulder.
So unless Coles can break every 3yrd out pattern for 80 yards I'll stick with Santana.

"Okay Yakko, job is make big list of football players. I think NFL. If done quickly, you get shiny penny!"

Right now, the only place Coles comes in ahead of Moss is the dictionary.

Not only does Washington have a more dynamic offense, but (surprisingly) they have a more stable QB picture. This shouldn't even be close.
