Massaquoi could be a bigger star than Edwards
-
I have it. The answer to that question was:
"A: Dennis: Like my friend Pat Kirwan says, offenses don't determine No. 1 wideouts. Defenses do. If they roll coverages towards a receiver, he's the No. 1. And defenses will look to roll them to Braylon. Saying that, I watched Browns wideout Mohamed Massaquoi on Sunday versus Cincinnati and thought, he looks more like a star than Edwards. Think he'll be the new No. 1 in Cleveland. (I already picked him up in my fantasy league)."
There was one other question on it.
Q: Andy Reid says it takes three years for a rookie WR to learn the intricacies of a pro offense. What kind of delay, if any, would you expect Braylon Edwards to have as he switches teams? He knows more fundamentals than a rookie sure, but he still has to learn a whole new offense.
-- Kevin (Massapequa Park, N.Y.)
A: Kevin: Different deal and different situation. And with all due respect to Andy, every receiver is different. It didn't take DeSean Jackson three years to learn the Eagles offense. As long as Edwards works hard, he'll pick up the offense and make plays

LMAO. Yes it was.

Pat Kirwin did say that defenses dictate who is a #1 WR based on coverage. I like that observation. Kirwin is the best part about NFL Sirius.
I like what Adam said about the Cowboys - run the ball idiots.
Cool take by Adam re: MoMass.

Sez, it's a smart NFL beat writer saying he thought Massoquoi looked more like a star than Edwards. It's an observation. It says that Edwards is a spectacular athlete but maybe not a great WR: He runs sloppy routes and drops more passes than anybody in the league.It's a smart observation. And we should like it very much, actually.
Just saying.. ONE game played does not a star make.. that and the double team was on braylon.. I have seen MANY, MANY really good recievers fade into oblivion when they move from the 2 to the 1 spot.. so let the guy at least get his cleats dirty for a game or two.. I hope he becomes a monster in this league for sure.. I will leave my crown in the box for now though

Im not taken anything from the guy but we saw him have 1 good game. Lets see how he does in the next few. Im just so sick of getting myself upset after getting myself so stoked

Wrong - you need to get yourself very stoked up and then completely and horribly let down..................just like the rest of us.

I am going the other way.. I am completely depressed and will end up with a glimmer of hope.. It worked last week. I was completely depressed after the first 3 weeks because we did not even look like a football team. Last week we at least looked like a team and gave good effort for 5 quarters.. I felt better after last week. Even though we still pretty much suck.. I am going in with Zero expectations again this week. I think Buffalo is better than they have played the first month.. I am not so sure I can say that about us.

Its an accurate observation not even mentioning how many times edwards never even made an effort or a move for the ball while it was getting picked or that he sometimes stopped running and just gave up at the end of his route...

The same thing could have been written about Andre Davis in week 3 of his rookie year in 2002, when he caught 5 balls for 99 yards and 2 TDs (or week 11 of the next season when he had 7 catches for 117 yards and a TD). Or how about Kevin Johnson who in his rookie year had a 7 catch 135 yard game.
It was one week. Did MoMass look better than Edwards last week? Sure he did. Did he look like a star? Nah, he looked like a #2 WR who made some plays. It wasn't anything anyone hasn't seen before from numerous NFL WR, including rookies.
Put that up back to back weeks, then you look like a star in the making.
