Oh not according to Peter King:

[B][COLOR=black][FONT=&quot]1. Peyton Manning, QB, Indianapolis.[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][FONT=&quot] Look at the team he's playing with. It's semi-decimated. Colts are 3-2, and he's completing 70 percent, with 11-1 TD-Interception ratio.[/FONT][/COLOR]

I think easily. Only one who warrants any mention is Rak.

Yeah McNabb makes sense. I definitely don't think we're 3-2 without him.

Landry = our defensive MVP
McNabb = our offensive MVP

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

Hey there ya'll. I haven't been able to watch as much of our games as I'd like to be sure, but I've seen enough to know 1) my thread is obsolete and 2) Landry is easily the most improved player on the roster from last year.

One thing I think is interesting is we didn't hear the coaches talking Landry up a ton coming into the season. I wonder if this level of performance was expected?

...as to changing the thread title or shutting it down I'm good w/ either :)

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

You're a stand up man, Goat.

Haslett said from the start that Landry is the most talented player he's coached, and Landry himself was talking all offseason about how he was going to explode this year. I think the fans are the only ones surprised at his turnaround.

Reminds of G. Williams comment about Sean. Also reminds me Sean struggled for, what, two seasons before he showed us his elite talent?

No doubt Landry was held back by coaching and scheme, so it took him three seasons to get here. And as you pointed out he obviously grew into himself over the off-season.

...basically it turned into the perfect scenario for '10. I'm extremely glad the new regime kept Landry!!!

I know it sounds.....silly, but I would have taken it hard if LL had not worked out....

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

The Billy Kilmer comparisons are pretty fitting for McNabb, re: intangibles.

Not sure Kilmer was ever 2nd on anyone's MVP ballot though.

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

[quote=The Goat;622559]His play has disappointed me since the beginning of the '08 campaign but what I saw today was appalling. I went back a watched the reel several times keying in on Landry.

First off I noticed Turner's long run (12:15 to go in the first quarter) when Landry finally forced him out of bounce. Laron didn't even try to lay the wood. He barely bumped Turner and looked like a complete coward. I think what is even more cowardly was the hit on Ryan. The ONLY time Landry tries to lay the wood is when someone is scrambling out of bounce. This is as pathetic as it is cheap and I sincerely the hope the league fines Landry at least several weeks of pay.

Moving onto the first Turner TD Landry took the worst angle I've seen all season (not just by him but by any defensive player). Whatever skill/talent he had at one time appears to be in full regression. And finally the second Turner TD Landry had a clear shot before Turner breaks into the open but he simply dove to the turf to avoid contact.

Landry's cowardice is an embarrassment not only to the Redskins but, in the larger picture, to the game of football. He should be benched for his lousy play notwithstanding, but for the cowardice he has no business wearing a uniform. For the sake of the game I hope he is benched for the year and quickly traded/cut in the off-season. Personally I don't think I'll be able to watch another game as long as he's on the field :([/quote]

Is Crow a dish best served cold? Or is that something else??

But i cant really talk Hasslett keeps shutting me up and i hope he continues to do so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

I just wanted to say, I never posted anything here about our superstar NFC player of the week.

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

Your all retards. Landry is a sick safety

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

Old thread GW. Most of the recent posts have been recriminative, and of the crow eating variety.
AND if the SOB was any F...n good, he would have 4 ints in last weeks game as well!
BTW.....welcome to the WP

Well you are a retard for the bad grammar and the fact that you didn't read the whole thread.

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

Amazing what a position change does, it makes fans call him a bust and say he sucks and should be off this team; to now where everyone thinks he should go to the pro bowl. By the way he's been playing, he definitely should though.

Re: Landry is now a bust!
 

Lol, this thread keep getting bumped.

No, but he sure did spend enough time 2nd on the depth chart.

Just goes to show you no matter how much we fans think we know about NFL football, it's proven time and time again that we're not nearly as smart as we think we are.

Rookie mistake. We'll let you slide this time. In the meantime you better hit the playbook and study up.

He had a chance at 1 pick. Not 4

Sarcasm man. One thing you'll have to learn is to check dates on threads. This thread was started in January after the '09 season was over, when the popular opinion was that he was a bust. Not everybody believed that, including me. I always thought if he was utilized like he's being utilized now, he'd be a fine player.

You just need to learn when people are being sarcastic. It's all in good fun here, nobody is attacking you or being ridiculous. No need to get upset.

One thing about the WP Glen, GREAT place, but people will mess with you now and then. AND thats what I was doing.
I don't think any Skins fans could find....any fault (well some could) with LL this season. He is doing what he was meant to do. A phenom.
AND AND I think all of us have made the mistake of jumping on in the middle of an old and controversial thread (without checking the date)somebody has excavated......with WTF????? And then after a flaming response realized the thread was a year old....well you get the idea.
HTTR GW
