Interesting...I understood the backlash against him after '04 season, and the stats you listed above verify the arguments some made at that point that he underperformed and should be cut(including myself).

Last year, though, he put up pretty decent #'s, especially considering the QB situation.

Like I said, he deserves the same excuses people have given Moulds his entire career. Stupid coaches and qb changes. The guy just tries to play andnever complains. He's nothing like Willis by trying to be a hotdog or b!tchhing at coaches.

He should have no excuses this year with a coach like Fairchild though.

he had a pretty decent year last year which could have saved his ass.

he needs to cut out the boneheads plays (drops, wrong routes, etc)

You can use QB play and coaching as rationale for over all numbers, but when the ball hits you in the chest, you have to catch it. Reed has shown a tendency to choke when things matter most. Moulds ability to make plays was never questioned.

wrong, out of all the wr's we had last year, he was the most consistent in bailing out JP. I know that doesn't say much considering what we had last year, but he deserves one last shot.

Remeber, I'm not looking at him as no 2. but a no. 3 and nothing more.

exactly.

I'll believe he has the same stats as other #3's when drops are included as one of those stats.

Drops are included in the stats in the first post.
