Was going to mention that Matty.. you can't defend the bashing of this thread either.
We are last, we as fans really don't have any idea as to what this O is going to look like and how these players fit. On paper we look terrible at WR. We could get a few surprises with Armstrong and DT coming on strong to compliment SM then we have something to talk about. Galloway will be alright in this short stuff. Who knows... I just know the old guys do scare me, the guy who is out of the IFL is a big ?, small rookie man who has a fumbling problem, and MR Michigan State has had 1 good game in 2 years.
So there is reason for concern. BUT me being the optimist that I am will hope for some good play out of all those question marks up top!
If we are to rank them:
1. Dallas
2. Philly (very close behind Dallas)
3. Giants
4. Redskins

The fact that Joey Galloway is starting on this team is horrific. We need Devin Thomas to play out of his mind this year.
Honestly I've given up on Devin Thomas and moved on to Anthony Armstrong. Devin Thomas is just a nice special teams player at this point. Heck I'm more excited about Banks as a reciever then I am Thomas, in spite of my instance that returners focus on returning kicks and punts.

You gotta wonder why Thomas can't succeed. Guy is a physical freak, supremely athletic, and from Mich St!

Mich St isn't a good contributor to good NFL talent. Lorenzo White was the last Spartan that truly excelled in the NFL. It seems MSU QBs are relegated to being Lions backups, etc.

At receiver being a physical freak is nice. However without route running, hands, and the ability to read coverage it's practically useless. The reason physical freaks go so early in the draft is because all the attributes listed that are essential to being a successful receiver in the NFL are considered teachable.

There you have it folks...Devin Thomas is unteachable. Who knew?! We should sue Mich St for giving him passing grades :D

I cant think of any offense in recent memory where 2 good tight ends has had a significant impact on thier success. I feel like if Cooley starts all 16 games then Fred Davis is going to have very little impact.

Thats why you use one as a wideout and the other as a traditional Tight End.

Last year Galloway had Tom Brady. And Welker was hurt. Still Galloway could not get on the field and produce. 'Nuff said.
So you pick one off yea and us that as the example. How about looking back at just about every year McNabb has played and look at the production he could get ot of WR's like Thrash. Then just look back at every other year Brady has played. If you don't think WR's need a good QB then your probably the only one.
