That's a lovely stat that's utterly meaningless, and do you know why? Even the most elite WR's in the league don't get more than 6 or 7 100 yard games a year. In '04, Chad Johnson did it a whopping 3 times. Brandon Stokley did it 5 times. Does that mean Stokley is better than Chad? Of course not.
So in effect you're cutting your sample size in half before you start looking at quality of pass defense, and then saying, "look, he's no good against tough pass defenses!".
If you want to find ways to make the stats "prove" your opinion that Santana sucks, you can do it. But I don't think there are too many people here, in Redskin Park, or at the All-Pro Committee who are going to agree with you.
