  - See, I think people overlook his actual numbers. - spamlet Jan 7, 07:01 5
    - Yep. He was one of the (if not THE) best defensive CF of his era. And as you posted, his offensive numbers weren't too shabby either. - Jim Jan 7, 07:17 3
      - some of his catches were kind of sandbagged on purpose to turn them into highlight reel catches. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 7, 07:21 2
        
        Some may have been...but watching the dude everyday, I don't need to be told he was a great CF. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 07:41 1
