re: This years NFL offensive/defensive ROTY

Oh so only receiving yards count when up for ROTY consideration. Noted

Not what I meant. I meant they can skew the stats to make him seem a lot better than he is. For instance they could do this:

"Hakiem Nicks ends the year with 57 catches for 936 yards and 10 touchdowns. Will it be Nicks or Percy Harvin who had 52 catches and 1900 total yards?"

Kinda easy for ESPN to pimp Harvin if they feel like it.

You're a homer.


Yes, return yards are free yards. You can suck arse and rack up 1,000 return yards in a year. When you add those to receiving yards it is very easy to skew an arguement in Harvin's favor. He'll get 1,500 yards this year in returns alone. I guess Josh Cribbs is better than Reggie Wayne since he'll end the year with 1,000 more yards than him...

percy is a game-changer, and is the best 3rd down receiver on the team

nicks is a garbage receiver who gets garbage yardage because his team is getting their arse kicked every week

How many meaningful catches has Nicks had this season? Smith and Manningham make all the meaningful catches for that team. The only catches I've seen Nicks make this year come in garbage time when the Giants were either up big or losing big.

Not saying he's not a good receiver, but he just doesn't impact whether his team wins or loses like Percy already does in just his rookie season.
