Soupermeister's Breakout Player of 2008 Poll

SmootSmack · 03-27-2008, 10:28 AM

So Soup mentioned in another thread that if Mix can be a legit #3 WR than why draft a WR in round 1 (as has been rumored) when DE is, in his opinion, a much more glaring need.

Which got me thinking waht if Chris Wilson can emerge at DE? (I'll leave my main man Alex Buzbee out of this conversation)

So the question is-Who is More Likely To Have A Breakout Season in 2008? Anthony Mix or Chris Wilson?

Define "Breakout"? Who knows, that's what makes polls fun

Hmmm...Wilson. Only because he's going to play more snaps, and his job isn't really in danger. If he has a 5-7 sack season, I think we would define that as a break out year, and even if Mix sees significant playing time, we don't know exactly how good he is yet.

Big C · 03-27-2008, 10:36 AM

i went wilson too. wilson is a situational pass rusher so less would be expected of him. like gtripp said, 5-7 sacks would be great, and probably a lot more feasible than mix catching 60 balls it would take for many here to consider it a great year, due what seems to be high expectations

gibbsisgod · 03-27-2008, 10:37 AM

I went with Mix. Moss and Randle El havent proved to be too durable and I think that translates into more chances for Mix. Wilson is gonna be a good player but I think we go DE in the first round which will limit his PT.

Wilson will have 8 sacks this year, mark it down.

Redskin Warrior · 03-27-2008, 11:12 AM

Mix will prove he is the big target the Redskins are looking for.

Daseal · 03-27-2008, 11:13 AM

I went with Mix just because I feel like there's more of a need at WR and I love Chris Wilson, but don't know if he can be a 3-down starter.

GeneParmesan · 03-27-2008, 11:30 AM

I say neither. I really like Reed Doughtry.

TheMalcolmConnection · 03-27-2008, 11:32 AM

Wilson. I think Mix will get his opportunities and I think he has ONE game where he makes like 3 catches so the man crushes will get even more hardcore. Wilson will at least play in most games and have .5 to 1 sack a game he plays in.

djnemo65 · 03-27-2008, 11:40 AM

Why not both?

I think what we do in the draft will have a big impact on how much these guys get to play and in turn how much they will be able to breakout.

riggins44 · 03-27-2008, 11:43 AM

I like Wilson. The kid seems to have a good motor and with more opportunities will make some big plays this year.

Yea, like if we draft Limas Sweed, Mix will probably only be in when there are 5 WRs, and if we draft a DE, then Wilson will be used sparingly.

Slingin Sammy 33 · 03-27-2008, 10:43 PM

I voted for Mix. I believe there is a strong chance we will go DE in the first or second round, likely limiting Wilson's playtime. I think Mix will step up and be a contirbutor in the Red Zone and as an X receiver in 3 & 4 wide packages.

J. Spanky · 03-27-2008, 11:52 AM

i took wilson. but, for the record, we all have some idea of what wilson is capable of in our system. any judgement of what mix may achieve next year (assuming he even makes the roster) is completely baseless.

GMScud · 03-27-2008, 12:10 PM

Chris Wilson. No question. He barely played until the end of the year and picked up 4 sacks in the last few games. He could develop into a good pass rusher.

Mix has done nothing. I'm still just totally baffled why this guy is getting all this press. I mean if the guy had a few good catches or maybe even a TD I could understand a little hype. All this is a bit silly IMO. How about HB Blades as a candidate with Rocky coming off a knee injury?

What's next, the Alex Buzbee breakout thread?
