That's not saying much.

Moss is our best since Monk/Clark/Sanders, but our WRs have been incredibly weak for a decade, including Coles.

Henry Ellard would have to be third. :cheeky-sm

That's just flat out incorrect. In his two years in Washington, Coles had 90 catches and 82 catches, and that was with below average play from the quarterback position. He was a good receiver while he was here and he was tough as nails.

Don't pay so much attention to the Dan Snyder media machine, that tries to diminish the accomplishments of every decent player that wants out of Washington.

7 TDs in 2 years is not that great. He had a lot of key drops too. Not as many as Gardner, but too many.

I admit, he WAS a tough guy, but that doesn't always get the job done.

He had over 1200 yards in his first season in Washington. Only one other receiver(Henry Ellard) did that between 1991 and 2003, so to claim that he was a poor receiver is ridiculous. He didn't have a ton of touchdowns in his second season, but neither did anyone else on that offense.
