Not to knock Coles, I like him, but I've dislocated fingers and still managed to hold onto a ball.
Please, please, please tell me you played in the NFL at some point because otherwise the fact that you caught a football with a dislocated finger is 100% irrelevant. Catching a football with a dislocated finger is one thing, catching a football thrown by a professional quarterback with 200 pound safeties waiting to snap your spine is something else entirely.
I may have missed the response to this so if this is repetitive, I apologize.

D-Mac would have done a great job also. Thrash did a great job on the drive he was on.
We are deep at wide reciever.....take the rest of the night off and let someone who is also talented come in at 100%

I realize that it was not NFL type talent trying to tackle me, but then again, I myself am not NFL talent...
Nevermind that the QB throwing me the ball was an All American and the ball was inflated so that it was hard as a rock.
Point being, if one finger is messed up, you should be able to adjust so that you can still catch the ball. If you can't you're hurting your team and yourself.

Ah, I see, it is your laudable concern for the Redskins as a team that prompted your assinine comment.
No, the point is your personal experience is irrelevant. Drawing any sort of comparison between yourself and Coles, or any NFL receiver for that matter, is laughable at best.

I didn't compare myself to Coles...I said if you hurt your finger, and you can't catch a ball, then you shouldn't be playing.
And I still find it hard to believe that hurting ONE finger is gonnna handicap an NFL receiver from catching a ball.
