Yes, I do watch football Hobbes, was at the game in Minnesota when nobody could stop Coles. For you to say that he's not "even far above average" means you are ignoring the facts. Below are some receivers stats for receptions and yards over the past 4 years. You should also keep in mind that Coles last year in Washington was a horrible QB situation and his first year back with the Jets in 2005, he had Bollinger throwing him the ball with no offensive line. But, no excuses. Here's a list of Coles versus some notable, what I'm sure you'd consider "far above average" receivers: Player: receptions, yards (2003-2006) C. Johnson: 369, 5430 M. Harrison: 357, 4897 L. Coles: 336, 4097 R. Wayne: 314, 4413 D. Driver: 314, 4345 T. Owens: 289, 4218 S. Smith: 280, 3899 Call me crazy, but Coles is certainly in the neighborhood from a production standpoint, but perhaps receptions and yardage are poor measures of a receivers worth? Getting an 8 yard reception on 3rd and 6 a couple of times a game is worth less than a 40 yard reception every other game?
