Coles Senario

[jdlea]

Coles for MOss is apples for apples. I think they might as well go ahead with that deal

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I would agree with that. I don't feel like looking it up but how old is Moss?

First he had career high 90 catches this year hurt. He lead our team in recieving yards since he been on the team. Under Gibbs he caught this many passes double covered most of the season and with a shity quarterback for most of the season. He has a 5th gear of speed that only elite players have. He is not a bad public relations person, even if this thing about him wanting to leave is out there, he has still stated that if he had to stay on the team he would and play hard as well. Tell me 10 wide receivers better than him please...

He was the 7th highest reception player in the NFL and not to mention he was in horrible offensive system.

Again, it's been a long day and I really don't feel like naming them, but I seriously could easily name 10-15 players better than Coles. I WILL say though, I'm talking about Coles NOW and not Coles when he DID have the 5th gear. I love the man and love how he plays, hurt or not. I just don't think he's in the elite receiver class that he used to be. A great receiver? Yes. Elite receiver? I wouldn't go quite that far.

OK, here are some more questions:

1. Suppose the Coles-for-Moss deal does go through. Do we still draft a wideout at #9?

2. Does a trade like this constrict the Skins' ability to sign any more free agents of any value, like a cornerback or maybe Derrick Mason?

3. And do we need somebody like Derrick Mason to compliment Santana Moss? Remember, we're replacing TWO starting wide receivers.

I thought we were saying to maybe give Taylor Jacobs a shot? Even though I think the jury might still be out on that decision.

[diehardskin2982]

I'm just saying we have to look not just at the man but the system as well because Not on I feel like Coles is a good player with alot of potiential including the NYJets. they are willing to give their #1 reciever for him, and I don't even think moss is comparable to Coles but, we have to get something becasuse we've been put in a bad spot right now.

[SKINSnCANES]

The Vikings had all these outrageous rumors for moss, but moss is a top four receiver in the league ( i said top four becuase no one should have reason to argue that). And they didnt end up getting as much as I thought they would. So now people are going to base that on what we get for Coles. Im just glad to see that somehow they turned this around and made it to our advantage. We looked like fools cutting our top producer after the first day, now it looks like we have competing teams trying to get him, we have the money to trade him after redoing a few things, and we want top compensation in return.

I'd still draft a WR if a good one is available... though having 1 spot secured gives you more flexibility.

LC is much better than S. Moss from what i've seen though... moss hasnt even started 16 games in a season This is really gardener's replacement.
