Lead receivers catch lots of passes and they make others look good AND THEY GET INTO THE END ZONE more than once every three or four games!!
A top flight WR - one who is getting paid what Coles is getting paid or maybe a bit more - scores touchdowns. Compare scoring stats for Coles, Moss, Owens, Harrison, Horn, Chad Johnson over the past three years. Compare him to Charles Johnson over the past two years (Johnson was not in the NFL 3 years ago) and Javon Walker over the past two years. Hell, compare him to Jimmy smith over the past three years even though Smith has been out all this season!

You compare him to guys playing with MUCH better QBs but fail to mention that.
You compare him to guys who make twice as much as him, but conveniently fail to mention that. You are simply WRONG about Javon Walker's stats. Please do compare him to Jimmy Smith. And just who exactly is Charles Johnson? I have a friend named Charles Johnson, but I don't think he plays in the NFL.
I know your whole gig is to be the skeptical, everything and everyone sucks, demolish the whole team guy, but there are TONS of people who'd kill to have Coles on their team. Coles is one of the few Redskins I get very defensive about. Don't trash this guy because once you do, your stock is going to drop a bunch.
