5 Surprises and 5 Disappointments This Year

Yeah, and I would disagree as well that Parcell's has done well handling TO. TO has been worse than anyone expected. He seems okay now but wait until they lose another game. He has been an incorrigible disaster.

I really agree with your point about young QB's though. That is exciting to see. In a post-Roethlesberger world it seems like their has been a paradigm shift regarding coaches attitudes towards young QB's, and their willingness to trust them with the game. I am excited to see what kind of careers guys like Young, Leinert, Rivers, and of course Campbell end up having.

You would? I think TO has done very well. Maybe some media attention before the season but hes been very quiet lately. He seems to really enjoy the new QB and has taken a humble role with Terry Glenn as the two main WR weapons. I don't think you could have expected him to be any better, he knows he's peaked as a player and he doesn't want to end up another Randy Moss somewhere.

TO may be an complete ass but the following would indicate that you are very wrong:

61 recs, 831 yards, 8 TDs.

"Incorrigible disaster?" I'd say more like "possible pro bowl performer". If only the skins had a few "incorrigible disasters" with stats like that.

I agree - TO is always content when he is getting what he wants. The team is winning, and he is getting the ball. Remember, he was manageable in Philly his first season. I also agree that if they hit another skid he is going to be the first one mouthing off and keeping that team from recovering its focus.
