Chris Cooley -- 9th among all TE's in yardage this year, 6th in TD catches. Better yards per catch than Gonzo and Gates. And he's having an "off" year. Talent? Check.

Rock Cartwright -- #4 in the league in return yards this season, already broke 1000, one of only two guys this season to have 100 yard returns, one of only 5 guys this season to score kickoff return TD's. Talent? Check.

On the defense, the entire unit is underachieving, but you've got a 100+ tackle guy in MWash who is having easily one of his worst years ever, but Sean Taylor is tied for second in tackles among all safeties, and sad luck Carlos Rogers is only a couple of tackles below Champ Frickin Bailey this season, 7th among all CB's. Obviously he's got no INT's because he apparently can't catch them this year, but surely all these guys are talented.

I'll leave the obvious QB and line positions alone, since they're likely to inspire violence, and quite frankly, there isn't enough evidence to prove the talent level there. But, we've allowed just 17 sacks this season, for ~130 yards, which is not bad at all.

Where we DO have problems is in penalties, poor clock management, missed opportunities in playcalling, and a lot of other things that don't show up on the stat sheet, but are symptomatic of a team without solid chemistry and leadership, and that will come if we can stop screwing around with the team every year.

Good post. AMD has a point about Carlos being thrown at, but a good post nonetheless.

Wow. WOrst thread ever? We shuould start the Honorary Daseal Worst thread of the Week award--create some icon that goes on the thread and the thread starter or something. Mods? We could use a little more angry internal abuse !

(Thought I just had to post here--can we get it to eight? Anyone? Beuller?)

Plus, the guy who started it used WAY too many exclaimation points. It's like, "yeah, you're excited, we got that three !'s ago."

Yeah, I had been thinking this too. We're unofficially naming Daseal the presenting sponsor of Thread Hell.

Does the same rule apply for exclamation points as it does for ellipses, just three...?

One would assume...

...thereby "making and ass out of 'u' and me."

I don't know about you guys, but I am much more excited about the offense. On 3rd and 10 we aren't throwing screens or dumps. JC looks downfield. We need a guy like this. Give him some time and we'll all be surprised on where we will go.
You point me to a good team and I'll point you to a leader QB. When the QB sucks, the team usually sucks. (see Grossman first half of season, Grossman 2nd half of season) Campbell will be a good QB for us!


Just food for thought, all you people that are annoyed with some threads like this one, here's a thought, STOP POSTING ON IT. A long time ago, Howard Stern said, if you don't like what I have to say, stop listening. It's the only good thing he's ever done. I followed his advice and haven't listened since. I follow that theory in this forum as well. If it does not have any good thoughts in it, or I do not agree with it, I don't partake.
