I thought we resolved that, didn't we?
You agreed - actually came right out and stated - that Stallworth was NOT used as a deep threat, and nor was anyone else deemed a deep threat besides Moss.
No, that's not what I stated. That would make no sense at all, given that Moss didn't play every snap. If I did state that, it would clearly have been an error.
The question is whether McDaniels couldn't or wouldn't use Stallworth as a deep threat WR.
No, it's not. You keep arguing a falsehood and acting as if you're producing the holy grail.
If it's "couldn't" then the lack of use of Stallworth deep is understandable. If it's "wouldn't" - well then the question remains, why wouldn't an OC use a proven deep threat when an alternative to Moss would have been a help in many ways?
I don't have the answer to the "couldn't or wouldn't" yet and admit it.
Given that the numbers proved your argument wrong, why don't you just stop posting about it rather than making erroneous assertions and then weaseling out with the "couldn't or wouldn't" backslide?
Others feel that they DO have the answer - and the answer is Stallworth, despite his previously proven skills - is NOT a viable deep threat option. Therefore McDaniels couldn't use Stallworth deep and is above criticism, and as such they get very angry should anyone actually consider this question far from closed.
100% of the NFL wide receivers, tight ends, running backs and quarterbacks are a 'viable deep threat' under the right conditions. It all depends on the meaning behind the label. That's why I used your definition for "deep" in the first place. Your own definition proved your point wrong. Accept it and move on.
Personally, I think its a better practice around here for people to keep an open mind than to make up their minds before all the information is in - but that's just me.
In any event I believe there is an active thread regarding the "status quo" of the offense and suggest you make related remarks there.
Funny, I gave you the information and you denied it, ignored it, then tried to re-define everything despite it being your definition being used. When did that equate to keeping an open mind?
