T.D. showed Moss some love!

[gibbsisgod]

Did anyone else catch NFL Total Access last night? They had a good interview with Moss and after that they had a nice little highlight clip that T.D. did. He went on record to say that Moss will have 100 catches this year. That would be FANTASTIC!

Terrell Davis is an idiot. Heck of a RB, but still dumb. Brunell will throw about 420-475 times this year, so 100 receptions is pretty unreasonable. 80/1200 would be my prediction for Moss this year.

[gibbsisgod]

i think 100 catches is very possible!

[MTK]

I doubt he'll catch that many.

With how much depth we now have his numbers will probably decrease a bit.

I'm thinking something like 70-1190-8

[TheInspector]

450 attempts at 70% completion rate = 315 completions
30% of 315 completions = 95 receptions

I don't think it is unreasonable to expect Moss to account for 30% of our receptions (if Brunell and Moss stay healthy).

[gibbsisgod]

and we threw 481 times last year! why do yout think that that number will decrease?

[gibbsisgod]

kc threw over 500 times

So Brunell is going to have a career season in completion percentage?

Think more realistically. For his career he's a 59.4% QB. His best season was 63.4% in 1996. (I'm not counting 2003 when he only played in 3 games but completed 65.9%)

Even Trent Green never came close to 70% in this offense. The best he did was 66.4.

i think its entirely possible. and i dont think green ever had weapons like we have

[MTK]

This isn't a west coast system based on high % passes. There's no way Brunell will hit 70%. If he hits 65% I'll be shocked.

Look at the WRs we have, it's going to be a passing game that will take advantage of their speed. That means deep routes, and lower % types of throws.

I don't think we'll see him throwing as many balls away, but I just don't see him hitting on 70%.

He might not catch 100...but to call T.D. an idiot for making that prediction, is Moronic.

do you think that these numbers will lead the team? i dont think 70 catches will lead the team.

maybe i'm being unrealistic but i think its more like 90+, 1350, 8(i think all our wrs have atleast 5 tds(ARE, lloyd,cooley)

30% is not unreasonable, but if Brunell was to complete 70%, I'd put him into the hall of fame the day after we won the SB 84-0. He's a consistently high passer, but 60% is a general standard for greatness depending on the offense.

I'm not calling him an idiot for the prediction. I'm calling him an idiot independant of the prediction.

If we win more games than last year, all those passing plays down the stretch become runs.
