You should have worked a gay joke in their somewhere. Otherwise, okay work. C-.

22 receptions, (17 for 1st down), 464 yards total, 21 yards per catch average, and 2 (very farging long) TDs.

For reference:  Billy McMullen
23 rec (14 for 1st down), 307 yards total, 13.3 yards per catch average, 2 TDs. 

I'm hysterical for Hank Baskett.

Those really aren't bad stats for a rookie receiver. But I'm sure someone will come along any minute to tell me I'm wrong.

You're wrong. Look at Randy Moss' rookie season. that is incredibly accurate.

Hank Baskett sucks, he can't get open in the NFL.

[MadMarchHare]

He ain't no Randy Moss.  But he's a lot better than McMullen

[Diomedes]

Hank Baskett can't get open in the NFL.

[MDS]

A decent 3rd/4th WR until "the next best thing" comes along. I guess.

[Eaglez]

I think it would be hard-pressed to complain about Baskett's production considering he was an undrafted rookie FA. And considering that the Eagles traded McMullen for him and that he outproduced McMullen makes it a good trade in and of itself.

Hank is a nice, big target that can work the middle of the field. For a 3rd or 4th WR, he's pretty good.

[shorebird]

He might not be able to get open consistantly, but for an undrafted free agent, he's done pretty well.

[Rome]

He seemed to get open fairly regularly with A.J. throwing him the ball.

I think that says it all.  Starting A.J. & Hank = Super Bowl win(s).


CLOSE THREAD.

the dallas game alone was enough of a contribution for him to have had a successful year...in the long run tho they must upgrade the #3 wr position...mcmullen is fine for a four and wont ever been anything more than that...before the meaningless atlanta game he had 15 catches in 15 games....not gonna get it done at the three...not even close

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

mcmullen is fine for a four and wont ever been anything more than that

Freudian slip?

I think the Eagles are fine (and actually fine, not Andy's version) at WR if they re-sign Stallworth and L.J.

Some combination of Avant/Baskett/Lewis is fine for a 3rd/4th/5th receiver combo IF they have two good starters and a pass-catching TE.

[ice grillin you]

Some combination of Avant/Baskett/Lewis

NO
NO
NO

i dont give a shtein what they do with the 4 and 5 slots...they can put twenty hank basketts there if they want but the #3 slot has to be upgraded...in general and especially on an andy reid team...a #3 wr is basically a starter in the league now and even more so on the eagles...they need more than a one catch per game guy there

i feel you on stallworth and brown as the top two...its the best theyve ever had and is a valid nfl combo and upgrading the #3 wr position is by no means at the top of the list of upgrades....but i dont want greg lewis on the team and i dont want hank baskett seeing the field anymore...they need some talent at the #3 spot

avant ill take a wait and see approach as i cant get a good read on him...but right now he seems to be a much shorter version of baskett

[Susquehanna Birder]

Garcia, along with the WCO system, makes mediocre WRs look better than they are.

[rjs246]

Lewis is pretty awful but with Tapeh seeing the field more the #3 is on the field less. IF they continue to run the ball I don't have a problem with this receiving corps. Lewis contributes a little and gets open enough. Avant/Baskett are throwaway players but can fill the 4/5 spots fine. If Stallworth comes back, this offense doesn't need anything other than a change of pace back with two knees.
