Quote:But yet he makes those clutch TD's.

This is probably his best attribute. If it wasn't for his late game antics we would be comparing him to Northcutt IMO. He doesn't have a great reception rate, and really is just getting yards because of our increased passing attempts the last two years.

 

Watching today's game I got the distinct impression that Ace Sanders might be better. I fully expect Shorts to top 1000 yards, but I don't think he is better than a 2nd option. Maybe Peerless Price would be a better example than Northcutt.

 

Edit: I should add, in fairness, that going against Joe Hayden, and the teams number one corners, certainly doesn't help Shorts. He is good, I am just not sure were exactly he falls, I think the Peerless Price comparison is apropos. Price excelled as a secondary receiver (even hitting 1200 yards one year), but was never the same when he became 'the man' in Atlanta.
