ESPN moved Joe out of the MNF booth next season in favor of Jaws. Thank you, ESPN for that dim light of hope but you’re still allowing him to write articles like this.
The 5 Breakout Players for the 2007-2008 Season.
Let’s review his picks, shall we?
1. Randy Moss, WR - JT says with NE will win a Super Bowl. I say take a look at Dallas and their experiment with TO. I’m NOT saying it was a bad deal for the Patriots - heck, they only gave up a 4th round draft pick. I’m just saying for Moss to have a breakout year he’d have to have 200 catches with 30 TD’s. That Patsies don’t care about numbers or touches or style points. They care about winning. Moss will be a great possession receiver for them.
2. Kellen Winslow Jr, TE - JT says he has the potential to be one of the best TE’s in the league. JT is on crack. Winslow has yet to play more than 5 games in a season. Let me name 10 TE’s better than him off the top of my head…Gates, Gonzales, Heap, Shockey, Crumpler, Witten, Lewis (Jags), Davis (SF), and Clark. That’s only 9. Let’s throw in Heath Miller just for grins. Besides that - Cleveland has a rookie QB.
3. Cedric Benson, RB - Anything having to do with offense in Chicago is offensive. This pick has potential to be right since Thomas Jones went to NY and Sexy Rexy is still the QB there. We’ll give JT some grace here.
4. Jason Campbell, QB - We’ve seen the Campbell experiment. It wasn’t pretty. Pray that Clinton Portis stays healthy.
5. Tony Romo, QB - Romo did great last year. Last year was his breakout year. The question now is - can he keep it at this level.
4 out of 5 picks are ridiculously stupid. At least I don’t have to listen to him on MNF anymore.

i completely disagree with you grant, because breakout means that they have yet to really do anything, or have not in the past few years. moss has and never will be just a possession receiever. he will be used to stretch the field, not run an 8 yard hitch or an in route. winslow has all the talent and was a top 10 pick, he has potential be a top tight end, but he isnt yet, same as benson. i never understood campbell being a first round pick, but he is getting his chnace this year and theisman is a former redskin. romo better he better than last year for dallas to make the playoffs.

What difference does any of this make. It’s just football. . .not life.
