Joe Horn ranks last in the NFL in YAC

Joe, IMO, ranks somewhere in the top 10 to 15 WR\'s in the game.

Or top five. Go look it up. I posted a while back and showed that statistically, Joe Horn\'s total receptions, yards, and TDs rank him 5th over the last 5 years, behind only Moss, Harrison, TO, and somebody else I can\'t remember. He\'s one of only five WRs to make the Pro Bowl 4 times in the last 5 years. He makes, on average, $4 million a year under his current (and most expensive to date) contract - whereas Randy Moss makes $9 million a year. You\'re telling me that Randy\'s YAC makes him twice as valuable as Joe Horn? Sure.

I love that all of a sudden the Saints are the highest passing team in the NFL - and that\'s why Horn has been successful for the last FIVE years. MAYBE you can draw a correllation this year, but not over the last five. Horn has proven himself with no other legitimate WR (see the \'03 season), another 1,000 yard WR (\'00 - Willie Jackson), no running game, a great running game, two QBs, injured. He shows up every single week. Period.

It\'s interesting that you use our one-dimensional offense as a crutch for AB, but then simultaneously suggest it helps Joe Horn. An minimally important stat like YAC is enough to dump Joe Horn, but AB\'s QB efficiency rating ranking him in the TWENTIES is irrellevant.

Even the media sees it. From Fox: \"As one of just five receivers to earn four Pro Bowl invitations the past five seasons, Horn wants and deserves a healthy raise.\"

Believe what you want. If

I will. Feel free yourself to continue believing that Aaron Brooks is the only good player on this team too. Hey, it\'s a free country.
