On the radar: Skins WR's

That is a list of QB's that I would rather have under center for my team, solely based on skill and production, other than Donovan McNabb. The point I was trying to make is that people throw around the word "great" and "one of the best in the business" (wrong) too often. McNabb is not one of the best in the business. He is a servicable, capable veteran, but no longer one of the best. Shit, not even top 10 m8.

And saying that our line is "great", no matter who we have brought in, coaches or personnel, without seeing them play together as a unit, is just stupid in my opinion. I know being a fan is great and fun, just be realistic as well.

Our line couldn't get worse, and the moves we have made have a 100% chance of making us better than last year, definitely, but we are far, I repeat FAR from being considered great, far from even above average, no matter what the brilliant minds of NFL radio say or think.

PS - Heyer fuckin sucks, and as long as he is on the squad, credibility is lost. Sorry.

Well, whether or not McNabb is one of "the best in the business" can be debated I guess, but my bet is if you ask a couple dozen random analysts and players, a pretty good majority would say he's still a top flight QB. Not top 5 (although some still argue that he is), but certainly top 10. I'll argue that all day. He's more than "serviceable." Jason Campbell is serviceable. Put it this way, he's one of the 10 best players on earth at his position. Is that good? Plus you argued that he's injury prone. The last three seasons he has not been at all.

Just because some mouth on NFL radio said our line is "great" doesn't mean that's the widely held opinion. I don't think anyone on this website or inside the organization is saying we're a "great" O-line. But vastly improved? No doubt.


Anyway- my point that your OP was a fail was because:
-You said McNabb was injury prone. 44 starts in the last 48 games says you're wrong.
-You said Artis Hicks isn't even a mediocre backup. That's just flat out wrong.
-You said J.Brown was coming off of a very serious injury. Repairing a hernia almost a year ago isn't "very serious" and is no threat to his 2010 season.
-And again, just because Heyer is on the roster doesn't mean this line can't ever be considered solid. That's just a dumb contension. Sorry.
