[thefoteenth]

Randy Moss

Anquan Boldin

Both

me too...I figured he would have a tough time jumping right into the starting role but I was wrong....dudes killin it

why? he was a pro style qb at bc and carried them there too with almost zero playmakers.

and i'm not saying im agreeing with the hooplah, but you also need to realize he plays the most important position on the field. Randy wouldn't haveput up those numbers with a sub par qb throwing to him.

Exactly.

My son caught 100 balls that year w/ like 9 TD's

But is there a steeper learning curve for a rookie QB or WR?

Q was catchin them jeff blake BB's all day back in 03'

5am6oody72 .... u prolly still icing them hammys after that sprint from lane

 

[ag 47]

How soon we forget....I'm going with Adrian Peterson. Others brought up Boldin, but Peterson's rookie year was damn impressive.

 

[gunna get it]

Its just as hard to adjust to playin wr in the nfl as it is qb

That's why teams/gms don't even expect much outta rookie wrs.

I never forget Q was mic'd up vs rams. And he was killing aeneas williams and after the game faulk went up to him and gave him the certified stamp. Toldhim "you belong here"

 

[juan baller]

If Matt Ryan know what's good for him, he'll fake an injury so he doesn't have to play the Bucs again.

[bigmike23]

so with that talk flacco is having like the 2nd best rookie year ever?

 

[651akathepaul]

Its just as hard to adjust to playin wr in the nfl as it is qb
How so? It may be hard to adjust yeah, but not harder than the most complex position in sports.

Dre, i dont wanna hit you with the "QB is the toughest position to learn" blah blah, but there is a REASON why all those are non QB's.

i love Q and AP but Matt has been IMPRESSIVE!!! EDIT: Big Ben won the super bowl for christ sakes

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Yeah,

And Matt had the benefit of a beastmode running game and a good defense.

When Q came into the L, he had been playing WR for only like 4 years. One of them lost to a terrible knee injury.

And who else did the Cards have at WR? Or RB?

RB		Damien Anderson
WR		Anquan Boldin
WR		Larry Foster
WR		Bryan Gilmore
RB		James Hodgins
WR		Bryant Johnson
WR		Kevin Kasper
WR		Jason McAddley
QB		Josh McCown
WR		Nate Poole
RB		Marcel Shipp
RB		Emmitt Smith

Moss had Reed and Carter at WR, And Robert Smith at RB.

I'm just saying...Keep is 100..

And you just %%!#+@ that quote all up....

 

[espnonthescreen]

hmm... did Adrian Peterson's rookie season not happen or something?

not saying it was the best, but it was just last year

 

[ValarMorghulis]

yeah i did

so if he takes the Falcons to the playoffs will you change your mind? what about 25 tds and 10-12ints?
what will convince you?

^^^by Dre's logic.... AP doesnt get it because he had Hutch and McKinnie and a strong D to get him the ball back.

really, did he just completely forget about it?

I think its a common understanding that Matt Ryan has been a lot more impressive than people expected, and that the Falcons are 6-3

I thought they were really gona suck

Peterson had a hell of a rookie year, but I'll take Clinton Portis on Denver any day over All Day (as far as rookie years).

It would have been interesting to see what type of #'s AD would have put up had he not hit the wall for the last 7 games in the 07' season.

 

[handsome hustler]

Sorry.

But Edgerrin James and Clinton Portis had better rookies years than A.P.

^^^by Dre's logic.... AP doesnt get it because he had Hutch and McKinnie and a strong D to get him the ball back.

Stop that. Where did I say that Matt's rookie year wasn't impressive?

All I did was point out things about his team, nothing more.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

GUNNA wasnt feelin me when i said Matt Ryan was one of the best looking Rookies ive ever seen like 3 weeks ago

Cmon you know thats not what i meant... but since were on the subject...

 

[Chester McFloppy]

He is one manly looking man (no Bigmike).

 

[gunna get it]

no bigmike

 

[youngjordan23]

didn't ben help the steelers win a SB that year

 

[gatorb807]

Big Ben won a Super Bowl his second year.

He was Tommy Maddox's backup for the first few games as a rookie I believe

 

[gunna get it]

Big ben won the title his rookie year.
He backed up maddox then took over the same yr
