Just because we gave Coles a #1 WR contract it does not mean that he is one. No seperation and sometimes suspect hands. He's a good #2 but a trainwreck as a #1...

WOW! So the "experts" who said we overpaid Coles were right? There is maybe 1 number 2 WR in the league paid like Coles (Issac Bruce). No separation? What film have you been watching? I've seen him get tons of separation (when we had Brunell in, but Brunell couldn't get him the ball). You don't get tons of separation on 5 yard curls (which is what he's been running 50% of the time with Ramsey under center). Suspect hand? Again, what are you watching?

I haven't heard someone this critical of Coles since, we'll the scouts who put him as a 3rd rounder coming out of the draft. The same scouts who said Peter Warrick was the best WR to come out of the draft in years.

You have got to be kidding.

True, he hasn't put up the numbers that he did last fall, but he's been hurt. I bet half the league would love to have Coles as their #1. He's gonna have 90+ receptions this year. Not bad for a guy who has a bad foot, dislocated finger, and probably some other stuff he hasn't told anybody. On top of that, he played 9 games with Mark Brunell (the same Brunell that had several 58 yd games).

Give me a break.
