Orakpo says he’s 100 percent

nfldraftscout rated him out as the 29th best WR last year, and that was after missing 6 games. Imagine how good he can be if he plays more games...He could be 28th!

or top ten

A full year and he will probably be ranked in the low teens, like 12 or 13. Right behind Crabtree and such. In my opinion not worth what the Redskins paid him, but still a good player.

I was being sarcastic about the garçon ranking. I think when healthy hes top 15

Given there's typically about 20 WRs who break 1000 yards every season and Garcon never has, even when fully healthy with P Manning tossing to him, I can't imagine anyone would rate him as a top 20 receiver. Low 20's maybe but he's been so inconsistent in every season of his career. Honestly I think he's an extremely difficult player to rank.

Garcon was the #3 or #4 option while he was playing with Manning. They had Wayne catching over 100 balls a season, in 2008 Dallas Clark also had 100 catches with Wayne, and Collie caught his fair share too. Once Garcon became the #2 Manning was out for the year.

What is so inconsistent about his numbers?

That's really the bottom line isn't it Matty? If he was ever elite you can bet your sweet ass Manning would have moved him up the chart :)

Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark in their primes... and Collie before his concussion problems got the best of him. That's the bottom line.

Weren't we 9-2 when Garcon was in the game? Come on -- Garcon was a weapon in this offense. He wasn't Calvin Johnson, but we didn't need that for our offense to be top 5 in the league. I'm still concerned about the injury, and he's turning out to be a Landry -> well paid and injured and delaying surgery. Hope he comes back healthy.

Back to the OP -> Orakpo -> does anyone know players who have come back from two torn pec's? Seems unusual to tear it twice, and I wonder how well it heals. Hope it doesn't make him a liability going forward. Don't really care how "well" Orakpo feels now, I want to see it on the field.


This is what Orakpo said last year -- a couple of days before injuring it again for the season:


"...But I’m feeling great right now. I was able to go the whole day today. I was able to go the whole couple days we had on Friday and Saturday. I mean, I’m back.”

Orakpo: ‘I’m back’ (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2012/09/03/orakpo-im-back/)

Well all I can say is he needs to be patient as well.. a third injury on a contract year is not good for him

When you go over the list of players we will get back....it's like a great draft/FA class coming our way....
Rak
Fred
Carriker
Garcon....healthy
Helu
Meriweather
Minnefield......
and......other suspended guy
fun stuff in there!If only we could add a starting quality O-lineman to that list...
