    Gonzalez looks like the real deal.......

    http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/train...26id%3d2955916


    1. Gonzalez making an instant impact
    First-round choice Anthony Gonzalez is the best addition to the passing offense in the past couple of years. Defensive coordinators used to lament to Peyton Manning how tough it was to defend him when Brandon Stokley was healthy. Stokley, in their eyes, was the best slot receiver and created mismatch problems when the Colts were in three-receiver sets. Coordinators put their third-best pass defender on Stokley, but Stokley was so shifty and so good at getting Manning's attention in the middle of the field, he opened the offense up for Manning's best season. Gonzalez could be equally dangerous. Even though he's still learning the offense, he looks like a natural. He worked the slot for Ohio State and has the knack of getting open in the first 12 yards from the line of scrimmage. After the catch, he looks like Speedy Gonzalez. He should be exceptional with his ability to run after the catch. Don't put Gonzalez immediately into the fantasy football mix. He needs time to learn this system. For example, he has to learn not to stop his route if Manning gets past his third progression. But fantasy or no fantasy, Gonzalez looks like a dream acquisition for this offense.




    Indy got the better reciever by far and Phin Phans will be regetting Ginn for years.

    I dunno how anyone who has watched Buckeye football the last few years would think Ginn would be a better pro than Gonzalez.

    Ginn is surely faster but that is where it stops.

    Ginn and Gonzolez are two different type of receivers. Still too early to tell but remember the Colts have Manning and the Dolphins have Green. Big difference.

    Gonzalez was rated as a 2nd round receiver. Yes Ginn was somewhat of a reach but can you imagine if they drafted Gonzalez instead?

    Wow, I heard Gonzales looked terrible in camp. Anyways its a lot easier to look like a good wr when Peyton Manning is throwing to you than the fish guy.
    Without hope there is nothing to live for (you can tell I'm a Buffalo guy)

    There were a few of us that thought Gonzalez was the better receiver here. But one has Peyton Manning throwing to him and one has, who is the Dolphins QB again?


    I would wait a bit before you throw Ginn completely under the bus.

    Not surprising at all. He was great for the Buckeyes!
