thats what i thought of moss and portis for the past year or so, if you meant what im thinking. moss and portis played well enough to hold onto their jobs and not be replaced by an up and coming player. but they played just well enough, not great or significant enough to impact our W L record.
if you think about it, our core offensive guys (campbell, portis, moss, ARE, cooley) have been together for the past 4-5 years with average to near bottom production on offense, yet nothing changed. no one was replaced, no roster shuffling. weve had kelly and thomas for 2 years and still havent seen them really targeted or given a chance.
shoot, if cooley didnt get injured we still wouldnt know what to think of fred davis. honestly, it takes an injury to a starter on offense before we get a look at what other younger players we have might bring to the table? for an offense as bad and as hungry for explosion as ours, we cant find times in a 4-12 season to showcase some of our young guys? i blame zorn and i digresssss. . .
