I was having a discussion tonight at dinner with a bunch of highly educated people, in terms of sports. All of which do nothing but read sports, and work as sports broadcasters, so it was interesting to hear an outside opinion. Heres what they said:
1. Coles is a good receiver, still not in the class of the top five
2. Gardner never panned out to be anything, hes a decent receiver but not a threat that teams gameplan against
3. Thrash sucks, that he has not proven to be a good receiver and that the Eagles had the worst set of receivers in the league last year.
We all like thrash and give him props becuase he started last year and because he was a redskins, but in all reality hes not that great of a receiver. He doesnt produce and makes a lot of mistakes.
If Coles goes down because of his toe or whatever I think we will be hurting at receive. We hvae great depth when it comes to running large receiver sets. Our 4th guy is better then most teams 4th corner. But that doesnt mean that any of them could step up into a starting role.
Everyone is high on jacobs because he had flashes of greatness in a camp that im not even sure if they were wearing pads. That proves onthing. We all have the optimism of Gods for our team but when you try to argue with an outside educated opinion we dotn really have much to work with in terms of receivers.
Coles is the man on our receiver core and has the potential to become a top five receiver in the NFL. Other than that all we have is a bag full of potential and optimism. Which dont get me wrong, we all have a ton of faith in our coaching staff and out players. But as redskins fans it doesnt matter how much talent we have on paper, we're going to wait until our team proves it because all we've done is get laughed at by everyteam in teh league, year in and year out. I hope this is our time to shine. And I dont mean time as in this year, but over the next few years. GO SKINS.
