if you think blocking is not vastly important, as a RB. |

It's all good Zero......all this thread is is opinions anyway.
I of course like Greg Jennings. He's got great hands, speed, and is "The chosen one". |

I know he has been injured most of the seaon, but I still like Marques Colston. He reminds me of Randy Moss from his Minny days, without all the drama of course. I still like Randy though.
Hines Ward is awesome and probably if we listed the most underrated WR he would win it. I think his leadership and grit are intangibles that don't often show up in the stats. |

I don't have any data to support this, but I suspect a WRs run blocking ability is analogous to a pitcher's defense. Is it an asset? Absolutely. But it's such a small part of their job, that I would generally only use it for tiebreakers. Essentially, as great of a blocker as Hines Ward is, I don't feel that skill is important enough to vault him ahead of the Larry Fitzgeralds of the world.
With that said, I would put Larry Fitzgerald at the top of the best WR class. That's exactly how I feel about WR and run blocking. We have excellent run blocking WRs. Is Grant averaging 4 ypc? No? Wonder why. Didn't I just say we had excellent run blocking WRs? Gregorious and DD aside, just give me Randy Moss. He gets TDs. |

Andre Johnson had 41-catches and 593-yards in October alone.. he is a fine blocker, has elite speed and runs very smooth routes. Rarely drops a pass and has excellent size.
As I mentioned a page ago.. complete package. Best receiver in the game today.
Plus he isn't a headcase.. |
I think when there's enough will and aggression, there's no shortage of talent either.  |

Plus he isn't a headcase.. He does not have elite speed and he's shifty during his routes. You're a headcase!!!!!! :P |

You're a headcase!!!!!! :P Headcase.. why of course I am a headcase.. why else would I visit the PPO. :lol: Now.. MR. Johnson has 4.4 40 speed at 6-3 223... is as smooth as silk in his routes.. dude has it all.. I normally don't care for Miami players.. but this kid can flat out play the position better than anyone else currently.. Now if I can only get the crazy little voice in my head to stop... ;) |

I agree, he can play and I think he's one of the best, but I've seen him play and I don't agree with the smooth route running comment. Smooth route running is Greg Jennings. |
