Mosley says Newman is out for Sunday - 9/5/08

[MrMom]

so i guess we are all forgetting about steve smith?...hes maybe top 8(Edwards) stop over rating him people

I'll take Edwards over Smith everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

I'm sure Edwards teammates would never make that trade as well, for fear of their well being.

This worship of Edwards makes me laugh. He has had one top year and suddenly he is top 5. Pathetic.

I don't see what's wrong with saying he's a top 5 WR now. "One year" really has no merit, he's a young wr that broke out last year once they actually got some talent to go along with him, and made many plays. He was drafted 3rd overall for a reason and he showed it last year. He still made plays with a crappy team but was hurt and had no talent around him before last year.

Moss, TO and Andre Johnson are the only receivers I'd say are definitely ahead of him.

Fitzgerald, Wayne, (although edwards with peyton and the colts O would smoke Wayne's stats imo) Steve Smith, Chad Johnson, Roy Williams, Burress are arguable.

He's definitely ahead of Colston, housh, boldin and the like. Calvin Johnson has the potential to be better, other than that, not really much left. Harrison and Holt are past their prime. If I had to rank right now I'd put him at 5 based on talent and production on the field (not fantasy, although based on fantasy he's probably top 5 or barely out of it as well)

Moss
TO
AJohnson (only problem is staying healthy)
Smith (has lead the league in receiving stats with delhomme at qb and mediocre offense)
Edwards
Fitzgerald
Wayne
Chad/Burress/RoyWilliams
Colston/Boldin/Housh/etc

Anyway... even if he has a big day tomorrow I dont think we'll have much problem winning. Can't deny he's a baller though.

One year and you annoint him. BS

Ok fellas let's not get all judgmental now, Newman has only missed a hand full of games his entire career....

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that he's missed 1 or 2 games almost every year. Is that not the case?

Edwards is NOT a top 5 WR. Barely top 10.

You're smokin crack or you were in a coma last season. Edwards has numbers just as good as TO (or are you saying TO is not a top receiver either) and he did it without another receiver for defenses to worry about. We at least had Crayton who teams had to at least respect underneath. Edwards had no one.
