    I can't believe ESPN pays people to write this crap.

    Sorry some of the stats were in a box thing.

    What's worse is that people actually pay to read it.

    What a silly way to evaluate a player. This season will be a good indication of Miles Austin's real skills. He exploded out of nowhere last season and I would bet money that, averaged over the season, he didn't see anywhere NEAR as many double teams and rolled coverage as Andre did. Andre has some good WR on the team with him (and it should be noted that his 2nd best receiving teammate was injured last year -- Owen Daniels) but the defense's primary focus against the pass game in and game out is always on Andre Johnson. I don't think the same could be said of Miles Austin last year.

    Now this season, I bet Miles sees a LOT more additional coverage.

    I'm surprised anyone was willing to read that worthless wall of text. Just seeing the title was enough for me to know not to waste my time

    Andre Johnson blindfolded with his arms tied together is a better reciever than Miles Austin.

    I am a huge Cowboys fan, but I have no problem admitting AJ is better than Miles.

    Miles needs to replicate last season 5 or 6 times before we starting putting him in that category.

    Romo is however, much better than Schaub.

    lol at the ric reference. Posession receiver. :)

    I'm not going to comment on that article. It's almost like the chupacabra wrote it. I guess I just did comment on it.

    And how exactly is Romo better than Schaub? If hitting blonde bombshells is a stat, then romo is definitely on top.( or whatever position he desires.)

    well austin may not be better then johnson. but the cowboys entire wr roster as a whole is better. and of course you would have to agree that the cowboys team is better, and assume that they will have a better season to.

    And we can also assume they will choke in the playoffs.
