w/o of next year

[sportscurmudgeon]

Matty/Malcom:

Cooley can break out this year by actually getting into the end zone more frequently. That was the major failing of the team last season and someone has to get the job done. If you think he can't get a whole lot better than he was last year, then he was a waste of time as a draft pick because he was decidedly average for the league last year.


Malcom:

In two seasons, Jacobs has shown nothing productive as a WR. Ooooh, he's fast! So what. Cliff Russell was even faster and they cut his ass and no one missed him even a whit. Speed is one important part of being a WR but it ain't enough by itself. And so far, Jacobs has shown precious little else. If he caught 30 passes and 1 TD next year, that would be a breakout year for him.



McCants will either get with the program that the staff is putting out or he will see the field once every three weeks again this year. Compared to last year, he'd have a break out year with 15 catches and 2 TDs.


Do you folks realize that Gus Frerotte stands a real chance to be the starter in Miami? If he can start, maybe Heath-bar can make a comeback too? [Just kidding.]


The breakout player of the year will have to be Patrick Ramsey because if he does not improve dramatically, the Skins will be lucky to break even this year AND will need to make some tough choices in the next offseason about what the team's future QB situation will be. Here is what Ramsey needs to accomplish:

Twice as many TDs as INTs.
QB Rating of at least 85 and preferably 90
Third down conversion rate of 43-45%
Less than 35 sacks.
Less than 8 fumbles.
