Coles with a toe injury is not better than anyone on the team now. Coles was a good WR before he got hurt, but after his injury, he was no where near what we paid him to be.

Gardner would be a very good player if he was consistent, but he's not. He could not be relied upon to produce when he was wearing a Redskins jersey. No ifs ands or buts about it, that's fact.

I think Steve Spurrier benched everyone on the Offense at least once...

He was always changing QB's or Running backs. Talking about how he like to play the "hot hand." Whatever the hell that means. And if I remember correctly, Gardner got benched for Chris Doering, I could be wrong, but I think that's who stepped in to play for him.
