It's your personal opinon that Winslow is better, that's fine but I just thought maybe you had something more solid to back up your take with.

Well, then by the same standard, wouldn't Desmond Clark be better than Chris Cooley?

Yes, Gates has been very productive from several seasons, and good for him, but based on what the Chargers have tried to do on offense these last few years, I don't think Gates has been better than what we should have expected from the position and team. Winslow, I believe, has been better than what we expected from the position and team, albeit in very limited time.

Thats my case.
