Curtis put up numbers better than Lewis has as a no.3 behind two all pro's. He's much better far as I'm concerened. He seems quicker, like he gets down the field faster. He catches more TD's. He's been playing with Bulger, and I can't wait to see how he does with Dmac throwing to him. I think he can walk in and play as good as Brown. I look for around 65-70 catches and around 8-9 td's.

Bulger is a career 64.4% passer.
McNabb is a career 58% passer.

Why would a receiver do better with McNabb than with Bulger again? Even TO's numbers were down when he was here and he had had Jeff farging Garcia throwing to him in San Fran.

Those numbers are SO much better than Brown's that I don't even know where to begin mocking you.

Bulger doesn't have half the arm Dmac does. TO had the best year of any receiver in Eagles history. farg percentages, Dmac makes guys better.

Who said anything about comparing the numbers of Brown and Curtis? Actually, doing so would be stupid considering the fact Curtis has been a no.3 behind Bruce and Holt.

I'll go on record saying that Curtis can play as good as or better than Brown, and will do so this year. Go ahead and Mock me, heaven forbid anybody say anything positive about a FO move. Just remember it if you get proven wrong....again.

Tom Brady makes guys better. Donovan McNabb has never made anyone better than he already was. TO is the perfect example of that.

And YOU were the one who said that Curtis "can walk in and play as good as Brown. I look for around 65-70 catches and around 8-9 td's." So YOU are the one who brought up statistics.

You lose.

shorebird · April 01, 2007, 02:09:48 PM

No.
TO set a record in TD's for himself, and was hurt the last three games of the season, so yes, Dmac made him better. If not, then why did TO suck ass so bad last year with the great phenom Romo from Dallas throwing to him? He had his worst year ever, dropped more balls than any receiver in the game.

I wasn't comparing numbers, I was predicting numbers. Theres no way to compare Brown to Curtis until this coming year.

Dillen · April 01, 2007, 02:38:46 PM

Expecting 8 or 9 TDs for Curtis isn't very likely, but it's possible. However, 65-70 catches is ridiculous. If Curtis gets that many TDs, there is no chance in hell he gets that many catches. The majority of his TDs are going to be long passes. I bet he'd get 2 TDs at most inside the redzone.

50 catches and 5 TDs is realistic. That's what I'm expecting. You'll see probably about 60 catches for Reggie, L.J, and Westbrook. No way you can have Curtis getting more.

Sgt PSN · April 01, 2007, 04:11:32 PM

40-45 catches and 5 td's for Curtis seems realistic barring injury to himself or another player. Had Stallworth not missed those 4 games last year, I still wouldn't see him finishing with much more than 50-55 catches so I can't/won't expect that from Curtis. I'll also go with about 600 yards recieving and, what the hell, 32 yards rushing.

Phanatic · April 01, 2007, 06:23:10 PM

Curtis is just another option in the 'team approach' passing game that the Birds run. They'll spread the ball around to whomever's open even if it's Tapeh over Brown. Yay!

ice grillin you · April 02, 2007, 06:31:42 AM

Dmac makes guys better

PoopyfaceMcGee · April 02, 2007, 07:53:31 AM

Yes. Case in point... Ronde Barber.

rjs246 · April 02, 2007, 08:09:22 AM

It's hard to imagine how anyone can argue that McNabb makes the players around him better when TO was the only receiver to have cracked 1000 yards and even his numbers were (on pace to be) down from his average.

This isn't a receiver friendly offense, and McNabb doesn't elevate the players around him. That doesn't mean he isn't a good player. That doesn't mean that I don't want him on the team. It means that he isn't Tom Brady and probably never will be.
