The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Czaban and friends were asking callers how we stack up offensively in our division at the skill positions. I suggested to my son that we look at QB, RB, TE, WR1, and WR2 on all four teams in the NFC and give each position a score of 1 through 5. 1 = warm body, 2 = below average, 3 = average, 4 = above average, and 5 = Pro Bowl caliber.

Here are the teams and players.

Cowboys:
QB Romo
RB Murray
TE Witten
WR Bryant
WR Williams

Giants:
QB Manning
RB Jennings
TE Robinson
WR Cruz
WR Randle

Eagles:
QB Foles
RB McCoy
TE Celek
WR Maclin
WR Cooper

Redskins
QB Griffin
RB Morris
TE Reed
WR Jackson
WR Garcon

I get 19 for us by saying Griff is currently only average. I could see us potentially being over 20.

The most I can get for the Eagles is 18 if I give Foles a 4 and McCoy a 5.

The most I can get for the Giants is 17 and that's stretching it.

Seems the Cowboys are nearest our 19.

As SJ says, it'll hardly matter if our O-line sucks but it's nice to know we have guys worth blocking for ... and then some. We have some people with serious skilz.

Anybody else feel like taking a crack at it?

Cowboys: - 18.5
QB Romo - 4
RB Murray - 3
TE Witten - 4
WR Bryant - 4
WR Williams - 3.5

Giants: - 16
QB Manning - 3
RB Jennings - 3
TE Robinson - 3
WR Cruz - 4
WR Randle - 3

Eagles: 20.5
QB Foles - 4
RB McCoy - 5
TE Celek - 4
WR Maclin - 4
WR Cooper - 3.5

Redskins - 23
QB Griffin - 4
RB Morris - 5
TE Reed - 4.5
WR Jackson - 5
WR Garcon - 4.5

Griffin can easily be a 5 but in fairness Ill give him a 4. If not for the injury hed be higher then a 5.
Alf has been our most consistent player he deserves a 5.
Reed should get a 3 but he has the potential to be a 5. He hasnt produced enough yet.
DJackson has all the stats and has already been a pro Bowler like Griffin and Alf. Deasean Jackson is one of the fastest players in the league. Is a home run threat who demands attention. Normally a player of his size I would rate lower due to physical limitations. But he is a threat on special teams if we need him to be. If we needed a TD with one second on the clock and we are returning a punt or a kickoff. DJax gives us a legit chance to get a TD. So he gets a 5.
Garcon I give a 4. Garcon isnt in the top five like Megatron, Dez Bryant, Aj Green, Julio Jones or Demarius Thomas. But hes top ten.

So overall Skins for me get a total of 22.

Pukes
Romo 4, Romo isnt top tier he also chokes in the biggest moments but is productive.
Murray 4, Murray could be lower. He gets hurt way too often and isnt consistent.
Witten 4, Witten is older now but he is still a solid TE. Hurts to say that.
Bryant 5, Well this is their best weapon no doubt.
Williams 3, I wish we had drafted him. But he is an upcoming talent at WR. He does not have the numbers to give him a 4. But he has a lot of potential.
Overall 20

Iggles
Foles 4, Foles is a solid QB. Has a strong arm and is accurate. He can also scramble if needed.
Mccoy5, Obviously he is a pain in the butt. But he also gets hurt a lot.
Celek 3, Celek is average at best. The smeagols actually have a better option up and coming TE. So this starter may change.
Maclin 3, Maclin can be very dangerous. But he is coming off injury. I really dont know how he is going to look but when healthy he is dangerous.
Cooper 3, Also plays well with Foles. He may see his numbers jump this year. But he does not have the numbers yet to get a 4. But he has talent, size and good chemistry with Foles.
Overall 18

Giants
Manning 4, Thing about Eli is he can be as low as 1 then all of a sudden a 5. He has two SB rings so we have to give him that. A 4 is fair.
Jennings 3, Seriously the Giants running game stinks.
Robinson 3, Seriously never heard of the guy.
Cruz 5, Cruz is a threat to go all the way every time. Hate this guy.
Randle 3, Ehhh hes ok.
Overall 18
