Interesting WR stats

[tchoice23]

And who is going to be throwing them the ball when they are 25, and if they are as good as you say they are, the Eagles won't be able to afford both of them.

Our receivers have performed better this year, period. That is the point of the thread.

That is a good point and i definitely accept it. I am definitely a Ogltree hugger. I hope he is given a lot more chances like Austin Collie, Pierre Garcon, Michael Crabtree and Kenny Britt are given.

Ohhhh! This is a feel good thread? Even though Desean and Maclin are very good, they have equal or poorer stats, right now. This means, our WR corps is equal or better than the Eagles.

How bout them Cowboys. Yay!! Woot!!

You can take this thread however you'd like. You can shove it up your *** for all I care.

...but don't blame me when you miss the point, say something stupid...and subsequently get called on it.

What're you talking about? You're not even addressing his comment. Crayton the next Wes Welker? :laugh2:

Worst comparison ever.

He was trying to say that your random act of bringing up Romo in this thread was proven wrong.. if Romo doesn't have the weapons that Peyton or McNabb have, like you said, then how come these WRs numbers are higher than McNabb's?

Miles Austin.

I think Miles Austin, saved a lot of jobs in Valley Ranch.

 

[theebs]

Sorry, I just feel Romo is a good quarterback who doesnt have the tools as Peyton or McNabb is having. When i see Garcon and Maclin, i wonder why Romo is not given that chance.

what are you talking about.

this thread was about wr.

The point was that the media is building all this fear up for there wr.

Compare running backs and tight ends and wr together and we are a more scary group than they are.

making your point, silly.

I dont care What the **** you say....i did not blame any ****ing thing on our ****ing ***......neither did i apologize for my posts. If you cant understand sarcasm i ****ing cannot do anything about it.

So take your mother ****ing attitude and shove it up your ***.

To be fair, most of the fuss I've heard is about Jackson, and he has established himself as maybe the best big-play player in the league. Look at his big plays: Catches of 71, 43, 64, 51, 57, and 54 yards, runs of 67 and 25 yards, and a punt return of 85 yards.

They're different players. Austin is more of an all-around WR, while Jackson is more of a deep threat. Jackson's too slight to be a danger to go across the middle very often. He'll probably never catch 90 passes and be a reliable possession receiver for them. He's a niche player, but in that niche, he's without equal right now. Comparing him to Austin is sort of apples and oranges.

I think Austin's going to be a star, but we should also consider that Jackson is making a huge play almost weekly, while Austin has had 2 huge games and hasn't played a lot otherwise.

I was talking about wrs only in the quoted text. I agree about TE and RB, but i have to agree with the media about Maclin and jackson.

If your bringing TE and RB in the discussion, i feel Hobbs, Brown and Samuel have to be taken into consideration. This is our first first top 10 pass defense(#10 to be exact). I will drink the Kool Aid and eat crow in this same thread, if we pass crazy on them. After all, i am a cowboy fan.

I'd much rather have our skill players as a whole, but as a big play threat, Jackson's probably the scariest player in the league right now. Or close to it.

Don't forget we own them with TE's and RB's...:starspin

What does the age of the receivers have to do with sundays game?

What do the rings to Saturn have to do with the rising corn costs? Nothing. Just like what he asked. I'm going to stop typing now before I start rambling.

Yes Jackson is very good. I really was hoping we would take a chance on him in college even though he is trouble.

But he can be covered. The raiders shut him out without namdi in the lineup. We can do it too.

For those that clamor that there's no way we can stop the vastly superior Eagles WR's, I present Exhibit A:

Desean Jackson 24 receptions, 501 yds, 20.9 yds avg, 4 tds. SEVEN starts

Jeremy Macklin 22 receptions, 293 yds, 13.3.yd avg, 1 TD

Jason Avant 13 receptions, 155 yds, 11.9yd avg, 1 td

Miles Austin 26 receptions, 563 yds, 21.7yd avg, 6 tds...THREE starts

Patrick Crayton 20 receptions, 291 yds, 14.6 yd avg 2 tds

Roy Williams 14 catches, 249 yds 17.8 yd avg, 2 tds


Yeah, their guys are CLEARLY superior huh? Our guys actually have one more catch, more yds, highers yds per catch and more tds. Yet we're supposedly the team that has questions at WR according to some, and Philly is the team with superior skill people?

Cue up "but but but" in 3.....2.....1

I dont get it. Should you not be comparing their WRs to our secondary? Or are Dallas WRs dropping back in coverage this week?

 

[Biggems]

you cant use the argument about McNabb being hurt and out for a few games, cause Kolb had back to back 300+ yd passing games.

 

[Q_the_man]

Don't forget that Jackson has 6 plays of 50 yards or more..... they are good, young and explosive......

Just throwing it out there, but I'm pretty sure everybody who posted or read this thread knows what Jackson's big plays are since the original poster of the thread posted his TD's, receptions, yards

Wouldn't this argument be more productive if you compared cornerbacks against top flight talent rather than WR's?

Seems like Austin, Crayton and Williams will not be on the field when their WR's are.

And if the original premise was discussing how we should fair aghainst their WR's. the cornerback question appears to be more pertinent.

Have you taken a second to look at the team passing stats??

The Cowboys rank 7th in the NFL, averaging 263.6 yards per game, the Iggles rank 13th, averaging 229.9 yards per game...

Despite the fact the Iggles have thrown a wee bit more often (236 attempts to the Cowboys' 230)... the Boys average 8.3 yards per attempt, the Iggles average 7.4...

And when you narrow it down to pure WR stats, the Iggles have 5 WRs who have combined for 65 catches, for 1023 yards (15.7 average) and 8 TDs... meanwhile, the Boys have 5 WRs who have combined for 67 catches, for 1237 yards (18.5 average) and 11 TDs...

That's 2 more catches, for 214 more yards, 2.8 more yards per catch, and 3 more TDs...

Yeah, I'd say that suggests that our wide receiver corps is currently better than theirs is... that doesn't mean that theirs is bad, ours is just better...

If you don't recognize that FACT, that's your problem... perhaps you need to visit a good optometrist, you're obviously not seeing clearly...

Actually the valid argument would be the difference in how our WR would fare against their DBs versus their WR and our DBs.

At the end of the day the matchups are pretty close especially with sensabaugh emerging and us being 3 deep at corner and not this lopsided bs being portrayed.

Then you should take a second to look at the FACTS, so that you don't wind up looking as stupid as the mediots do... Crayton and Austin have superior stats to Jackson and Maclin, period... both pairs have combined for 46 catches, Austin and Crayton have 80 more yards and 1 more TD with their 46 catches...

Even though it took Austin a while to get rolling...

If you stopped letting the mediots tell you what to think, if you bothered to think for yourself, you'd me a far more knowledgeable fan...
