Whats up with our punter?
According to Yahoo, http://http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzz_lo...r=fp-buzz-more, it appears our very own Dustin Colquitt's jersey is in the top 10 for searches... Why?
Who's in Fashion? Saturday October 15, 2005 9:00PM PT Randy Moss There are few better ways to gauge the popularity of an NFL player than by the sheer number of his jerseys adorning the backs of fans. You know what they say about imitation, and buying a jersey emblazoned with the name of a favorite football star is the ultimate compliment. When we checked a year ago, the terrifically tressed Johnny Damon topped the jersey-search list, and then-rookie QB Ben Roethlisberger was the top football player. In June, Spurs star Manu Ginobili headed our list, with volatile WR Randy Moss checking in as the top gridiron star. With football season in full swing, we decided to limit the list to football greats this time around. So here are the top 20 NFL jersey searches right now... |

Why because he is at the bottom of the league and you would prefer to defend his performance? I'm not pretending like the kid doesn't have talent and that he can't be a great punter and hope like hell he does become one...I'm just stating facts and you guys are being homers ingorning reality and that reality is he isn't doing any better than the other 31 punters in the league. Being 31st or 32nd in the world at something doesn't mean you are bad, just means there is at least 30 other people that are just as good or better.

I don't need to...The NFL complies the stats for all of them and his are at the bottom. It's not like I'm saying he sucks or hasn't been solid by any stretch...I'm just saying he isn't doing any better than anyone else who is good enough and lucky enough to collect an NFL paycheck punting the ball.

This just in, Priest Holmes sucks. 3.7 yards per carry ranks him 30th in the league.

Let's trade for Kyle Richardson. His punting averages are better than Colquitt's, so he must be better, right? Nevermind the fact that he's giving up 12.3 yards per punt return, dead last in the league.

I suppose we could all just pretend his 3.7 ypc is somehow outperforming Alexanders 5.5 ypc and 12 TD's....Let's all close our eyes real hard, make up tons of excuses and amazingly it will be fact.

Horrible comparison. Most punters in the league are going to kick it between 40 and 50 yards on any given punt. The difference is hang time, and that is where Colquitt excels, and why we're not giving up big returns this year.

Bob,
Your point would be valid if I were arguging that gross were important and ignoring net but that isn't the case my friend.

when i went to nfl.com and looked at the punting stats, I was shocked to see colquit ranked 29th. I thought he had been good. One thing to note is that he has only punted 20 times through 5 games (the denver game makes it even higher) and of the 20, only 8 were returned. not to mention there have been several times the returner has muffed it.

I don't have any neat statistics to throw out, but I'm actually somewhat excited when Colquitt punts (aside from the fact that it means our O didn't perform), just because there's a good chance the receiver's going to drop it! Also, it's nice to know that the reciever's going to have one of our guys in his face by the time the ball gets there. I'll take the shorter punts if we can get a fumble now and then.

OK, I lied. This doesn't mean much, but here are a few stats. Hope no one's looked at these yet.
2003 Averages: 39.5 gross, 33.2 net, 8.6 return 2004 Averages: 39.1 gross, 31.6 net, 12.5 avg return 2005 Averages: 40.2 gross, 35.0 net, 5.6 avg return He's no miracle worker, but Colquitt's definitely better than what we've had for a while. |
