Quote:JB- 17 games played 69 catches 1,001 yds 5tds... AVG 4 catches 58yds and .3 td's per game

 

In games 9-16 last year JB had 41 640 and 4tds

 

 

CS- 29 games played 88 catches 1420 yds 9TDs... AVG 3 catches 48 yds and .3 td's per game.

 

In games 9-16 last year 32 523 and 4td's

 

 

That's a bit misleading since C. Shorts may have been active for 10 games, he certainly didn't get any significant playing time. 

 

 

Quote:No one is crowning JB based on solely yesterdays performance. Learn to read. 

 

 

You compared him to Taylor. You're definitely "crowning" him.

 

 

Quote:Blackmon was a rookie WR last season; Cecil was in his 2nd year. You have to compare where players were at similar points in time. Cecil couldn't even get on the field as a rookie. 

 

Blackmon is Freddy T level special as a talent. 

 

 

You try too hard.

 

You're saying that Blackmon is better now, but we can't compare Blackmon's rookie season to Short's second season. Why? You're saying that Blackmon was better from the beginning anyway. Your only purpose here is to limit all of Shorts's accomplishments to even out their performances. This conversation is nothing more than an attempt to show that you were right over something that most people didn't disagree with or argued about. 

 

Shorts WAS better than Blackmon last year.

 

Why do you assume that when people say Shorts was better, or that we should give Blackmon more than 1 game this year to prove his improvement, as somehow saying Blackmon can't make it in the NFL?

 

If you don't already know that C. Shorts wasn't utilized because of Del Rio's failures, then you're not worth debating. Shorts would occasionally get past his defender on the very few plays he was given. His not seeing the field had more to do with Del Rio simply not knowing how to use him or not seeing his ability.
