Redskins Vs Chargers Postgame

[The Goat]

I voted Peter Boy for the game ball. First game this season he earned his contract this season IMO. He needs to have 6-7 games like that each year.

Who is Peter Boy? Garcon?

So needs to have 6-7 career games per season?

Totally reasonable.

As it is he's already on pace to break the team record for catches in a season.

On pace for about 1350 yards and 4 tds. Bare minimum expectation considering his contract IMO. And he has lots of 40/50/60 yard games so yeah he needs to have several big ones to get up there.

Also 108 catches, again a team record.

Can't fault him when the offense calls for him to catch a lot of screens and shorter routes. Last week they opened things up a bit more for him and you have to admit a few of those catches were amazing efforts on his part.

Only 108? We both know he needs to have 231 catches by week 12 to justify any money we give him. Jabar Gaffney clearly would have broken Herman Moore and Calvin Johnson's record by now.

Indeed, and why he gets game ball IMO. You could also argue he'd be on track for more like 1500 yards, 8 TD and 120 catches if RG had been in top form from beginning of the season. On the other hand Peter Boy has dropped some catchable balls too, so his stats are probably about where he'd end up.

It'll be his first season breaking 1000 yards and earning his contract, that's all I'm saying.

I think the Redskins signed him because they expected him to become a #1 receiver in their offense - not necessarily because he was already there as a #1 when they signed him.

He may actually have been overpaid at first because that is the way of free agency - you have to overpay to get the better players.

W/e, still not a #1.
