are we over rating our players?

can someone explain to me how the ranking works?

Like Phillip Rivers it said was a 65.0

And then Jason Campbell was a 12. something....does that mean he sucks??

that's hysterical

no seriously...i really don't get what the numbers mean. I'm guessing the higher number, the better rating....i don't think it explains.

They've got Reed Doughty as their starting SS in the Pro Bowl

To answer your question, YES he sucks!

I like:
-That our two previous 7th rd picks are rated way ahead our our #6 overall pick in the safeties category-- can we please trade Landry's good for nothing me me me dumb ass?
-That in terms of position with all QBs, Campbell really isn't a bottom feeder, but middle of the pack guy who plays behind the worst line. Extra evidence that QB isn't our problem.
-Carter and Orakpo are in top 15
-Haynesworth's $100 million and his rep will surely outcompete what he does on the field, but he's in the top 5 NT/DT, and he was a huge reason why the Cowboys didn't convert those 3rd and 1, 4th and 1 plays. Go Big Al!

Reed Doughty is the #1 rated safety against the run. He is easily our best tackling DB, and has progressed much more than Laron Landry, who is the most disappointing player on the entire roster IMO.

I disagree with that site, if anything we devalue our players especially us as fans because we don't know squat on talent.

I have my agreements/disagreements with the site, but you hit it right that fans are not professional raters of football talent. We see things and some know more than others (I'm probably in the "knows less" category), but I think if you want to see how a team would look if fans ran it...the Redskins are pretty close to it.

You and I might be the only 2 who think what you just wrote but I agree.

OMG I love this for how much it vindicates JC...look at how shitty the OL is for the Redskins and then look at JCs numbers, pretty solid

Wonder what he would do with a good O line?


I have been screaming this all season. His numbers when given adequate time are pretty damn solid. For all those wanting to throw Jason away and start over are just not truly seeing his talent. The guy is big, strong, great arm, and is STILL LEARNING. Give JC a solid line and he produces. I think we saw that in games when he was able to stand there and deliver the ball.

as far as over rating our players...absolutely. Moss is a #3 receiver, maybe a #2. Our Oline, except Samuels, is over rated at every position. Running back is definately over rated. Portis is done as far as I am concerned.
