Moss > ColesMoss brokeout cuz he actually played with an above average QB. It also wasnt all Brunell, Moss would turn 5 yard receptions to 30 yarders.

In fact I'm happy with it. Both WR's are great WR's. I still think Coles is better, though.And Mush was Jake's only target, and he was the best WR in the league. So he changed teams... so what? That shouldn't lower his rating.</div>huh? lol. Maybe if I drunk a case of Miller's, hung upside down, in the dark, with one eye open I could see Coles as a better WR than Moss. Thats a trade I imagine the Jets brass would like to have back.</div>I said Coles was better with the Jets than Moss was. Our entire offense got worse, except the WR position that got better. Coles was an improvement over Moss for us.

Moss also didn't come from nowhere, he did put together an 1100 yard, 10 TD season with the Jets just one year before he was traded.At the very worst, Moss is just as good as Coles was with the Jets. Was being 02 and 03. All of the circumstance you attribute to Coles less than stellar 05 performance is valid, but if you're actually being reasonable, and not just a biased Jets fan, then you would also have to consider that maybe Coles isn't the same guy he was when he left, since his numbers from last year aren't too unfamiliar than the ones he put up in his last year in Washington.
Also, if Coles was as good, why would we have traded a 3rd and 4th round pick along with Coles for Moss...

Which was my point.

I guess it would probably also be homerish to point out that Moss thrived in the same offense Coles griped about. Besides, maybe Cole's didn't have his lucky shoes last year, or his dog died the day before a big game, who knows. The trade was in fact player for player. Shrewd move by the NYJ front office there
I swear to everyone's life, 2 years ago I said the Skins should trade Coles and a 1st round pick for Moss. AND WE DID, without the 1st round pick!!david, no, we gave them picks too. Can't believe they accepted it for a 3rd rounder.Now I know Gibbs is amazing and he was in his 2nd year last year, but the Skins didn't improve much (plus losing Arrington with an injury didn't help) and we won games BECAUSE of Moss.

The 3rd round was conditional in the deal for Jordan. Jordan got the Jets a round 3 pick 33.

Jordon was a FA and signed with the Raiders... Moss for Coles did not involve draft picks... And the Skins gave up a 3rd and 4th for Lloyd (My favorite lmao)...
