Dude, you've got to be kidding me. I ALREADY posted it. And I posted the link to the thread that I posted it in IN THIS thread. How did you miss that?

Fios wrote:That (the SirSmizzy post) doesn't advance the argument at all though because we can't pretend it's an objective analysis. Do I think Coles is a better wideout than Moss? Yes. However, no one has the knowledge or foresight to state conclusively that Moss will do this and won't do that and will demand X amount of money. Good coaches, time and time again (for a recent example, see the New England Patriots and a certain supposedly problematic running back they signed last year) have a positive impact on players.

No but him coming to washington doesn't change how he plays the game. The fact i have seen every snap moss has played in the NFL , and ive seen every play Coles played in NY.

Coles is the better WR,he's tougher and more physical and will go get the football no matter what.

I think that hearing this from the media might change the way he plays. Washington journalists are pretty tough on the redskins.

Most fans are torn here because Santana is such a fun and likeable player. He really is fun to watch when he is on his game.

Moss is the ideal #2 WR. He has to be the complimentary to a #1 WR.

I suspect that he will do well in Washington. Don't expect him to change what he is.

He is an explosive gamebreaker on offense and on special teams. He's fragile however,. Lacks toughness, will drop balls. Won't go over the middle and won't go all out to catch the football.

Coles is the exact opposite as a player. He can beat you deep. He can outmuscle you for the football. He can block. He can break tackles in the open field. He'll go over the middle and take a beating for your team.

I watched a sunday night game between Baltimore and Washington last year.

Mark Brunell was stinking up the joint. Coles got his head handed to him on like 5 different ocassions. The Ravens were just taking shot after shot at this guy. He kept catching these overthrown and underthrown footballs and getting blasted. He'd get right back up and come back for more.

That's why, He's better than Santana.

In this trade, We gave up a good WR for an even better one.

I wish Santana nothing but the best. But to me, This deal makes way too much sense on so many different levels. You've got Coles locked up long term. Moss wasn't going to be back next year.

The Jets have to get a kick returner now though. They lost Santana's huge skill level on returns.

YoungJetsFan wrote this,he's a smart kid and i think this is dead on.Just wanted to share it.

He mentions they've "got Coles locked up on a long deal", that's bull, we thought we had him locked up on a long deal aswell. When he left the Jets he was critical of Herm Edwards and the conservative offense and wanted to leave.
Does this sound familar!!!! He is a phsycotic, spoiled cry baby that has no clue what it means to be a TEAM player. Don't let the dorr hit you in the behind, loser. The only thing I'm upset about is the cap hit this year and next.

The question is how did you miss it? I started this thread 9 minutes before your post and the link is on the bottom of page 1,i posted that too.

Relax.

I've really never seen a more whiny bunch of individuals when someone reposts information. What the hell does everyone gets so bent outta shape about? It's a freakin' message board isn't it?

Spend your time worrying about something important

Easy to say chill when you're not the one that spends hours a day cleaning it up... real easy. Nobody is forcing you to stay here.... just to follow the rules that we have.

If you can't respect that, you'll be missed!

I think we can all, agree Coles being traded to the Jets deserves it own thread ,no?

I agree. In the other thread their talking about other stuff so i go threads that pertain up to date information that pertains to that threads title. Somehow threads get way off topic and get into the draft then on peoples grandmas chocolate chip cookies, and then people get mad about reposting, posting in the wrong thread, and thats the evolution of a thread.

Point is....he is the one who reposted it in the other thread. This thread had been started 9 minutes before he posted his post,then he reposted the link to the story in this thread after i had already posted that too and then yelled at somebody for reposting the link,again...,so technically he should be mad at himself.

I agree with you smizzy. I think this deserves a new thread. My point was that people dont stay on track in threads.

If you don't like the rules... then why are you on the board? You AGREE to follow them when you register for the board.

Don't like the rules... don't post here... simple.

But I see no reason to change rules that HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of people appreciate and compliment us on daily. if yoiu don't like our philosophy... that's cool.. but we really don't care or feel the need to justify it to you. These are the rules that the staff decided on when we started the board... and we're sticking to them whether you like it or not.

But thanks for your 3 cents. Here's your change:

Boss, this was the 1st posting of this news. Thats why this thread got started.

I don't care Jake,you are cool with me. Im just syaing we all make mistakes. This is worthy of it's own thread.

That's the whole point

Coles being traded to the Jets

has been a daily thread everyday this week.
BH and the Mods have been preaching the same thing all week and they are still moderating 17 threads on the same subject every day.
The subject may change daily but it's still wrong and unfair to them

Keeping on the subject...MOSS trade. Are we set now at receiver. Is Moss demanding an extention. I'd like to sign him to a real short contract 2-3 seasons MAX and then re-evaluate.

So what your tellimg me are several threads on speculation of this trade is ok,but 1 thread on the thing actually happening isn't?

What is the deal here?

Did Portis demand a new contact or did you guys just sign him to one??

I don't remember. I think Moss will ask for a new deal if he hasn't already...he just asked us tfro a new deal and we sent him to you.

No but him coming to washington doesn't change how he plays the game. The fact i have seen every snap moss has played in the NFL

You've ignored the very point I just made. But, again, no one can say with any degree of certainty that playing for Joe Gibbs will have no impact on Moss.
The fact that you've watched Moss play has no bearing whatsoever on Joe Gibbs abilities as a coach.

With all due respect...A Zebra can't change his stripes. Gibb's isn't going to make him 6'3 205 either.

I fully agree a guy can get a fresh start and change his ways...but im not talking about his attitude or his route running or his ability to seperate.

SirSmizzy wrote:What is the deal here?

Simply post (within the thread) stating "Done Deal"
you can highlight done deal ...make it bold or iltalic you can even change the color or underline it regardless once you post, it will be bumped to the top of the page to alert all users that a new message as been posted. (that's why you have different color checks next to each thread title).

Next season we be a telling one to see if the Jets really got the better of us after that 2003 offseason aquisition.

Hall is appearing to be a injury bust and Morton is a bust as well.

Coles was adequate while he was here but cost us a #1 pick.

Randy Thomas was a Solid pickup though. We will see who got the better of whom. It is not as clear now as it was back then when it seemed as though we completely pillaged them.

Randy Thomas is a solid lineman...but you guys paid alot for those guys in picks and $$.

In all honesty I would have started a new thread also

Then taken the same position that you have now taken

But the rules make since ....you visit the board to find out what's up with Coles and his wanting to be traded and you see

1. Coles wants out
2. Coles traded to Jets
3. Moss for Coles
4. Coles trade dead
5. Coles wants release
6. Coles gives back $5M
7. Coles deal off
8. Coles deal back on
9. Oh NO what do we do with out Coles

Which one do you check

You can do a search of Coles Trade and get 231 post that's (as BTP would say) cool but you will also see 6 different threads on this subject. So starting a new thread won't always get the word out why would I read a thread titled "Coles trade for Moss complete" with 2 replys when I just finished reading a 4 page 41 post thread that was titled "ESPN: Jets/Skins complete WR swap".

I go through this every now and then with the Mods (mostly Jake) because I feel what I'm posting should be worthy of a new thread or I look at the story in a different light which would make it a new subject. When this happems I reveiw what I've posted verses what the Mod has linked as the proper thread to have posted in. Not being defensive,or feeling picked on I then will decide weather I'm right or if the Mod is right ( the rule say the Mod is always right but I've already been called wrong, so what do I have to lose).
When I don't come up on the short end and I I'm justified in starting a new thread I will PM the Mod and point to my reason for starting a new thread. I don't go back and forth with the mods on the board to prove why it was ok to post the thread where I did (I did this once, then a few days later I reread the thread).

If you think you are right, then PM the Mod and state your case if nothing else you'll gain some insight.

I know the first time I do a reveiw of my new thread and the link the Mods say I should have posted in. I've got a scathing pretyped PM just waiting to be used.

I just keep seeing there point of veiw when I put myself in the shoes of someone who is doing this for our benefit and alls they are asking for is a little uniformity
