I can answer the question easily, I just wanted to know where you were coming from. A good year for Horn may be anything similar to what he has done previously, or maybe not even that much with a new emphasis on the running game. A good year for Horn is him catching the ball when it is thrown his way, not getting hurt, and being Joe Horn. He doesn't have to put up pro bowl numbers for me to consider it a good year. So I guess right now, for me, a good year for Joe Horn is relative. If he doesn't put up the same numbers he has previously, but we win the division, I am gonna consider that a good year for Joe Horn, cause it was a winning year for the team. If he leads the league in all stats yet we didn't come close to the playoffs, from a personal standpoint for Joe Horn I would consider it a great year for him, but it would be marred by the fact the team had another sub-par season. So to me, a good year for Joe Horn, or any Saint, at this point, is relative to wins and losses. Once the season is over, if you wanna take what they did and make arguments like, "Hey, Joe led the league in all receiving stats, so it can't possibly be his fault we failed again, or he definitely is not getting old," that's all good. Stats are a good measure of assigning blame after the fact. Not the only one, but a good one. But I just can't see the point in guessing what those rankings or stats will be before game 1 has been played. Taking those numbers at the end and saying, Joe is better than TO cause of this, this and this is a whole nother animal IMO.
