re: Worse talent level in Payton era

Congrat[quote]You make no point when you say that our starting WR is above average relative to the entire population of WRs in the league.That certainly wasn't the point I was trying to make and only an idiot would have thought that.

That isn't what I said actually. I'd consider a starting WR a WR#3 in a good bit of offenses these days, and I think that colston is above average in that regard

How does it make any sense to think that i'm not talking about starters when trying to evaluate the talent level? Colston is a starter. He's not an above average starter.

Because I wouldnt consider him a #1 but would still consider him a solid #2 and a WELL above average receiver

Despite his drops last season:

33rd in yards, 16th in Yrds/Catch, 46th in TDs, 35th in Yrds/Game.

All look above average to me, especially for a NFL #2

Congrats. You've successfully played the semantics game and in the process lost total site of the conversation at hand.

Look, only an idiot would argue that Strief isn't an above average RT then double down to a year further as evidence of aging and regression. We all know that aging really happens inversely.
