I'd take 2003 every time. The tight ends now own the ones then, but given how good the WRs were then it doesn't matter. Plus Mangum was a hell of a blocker and Wiggins really had some good receiving years (once he left Carolina anyway).

Underlined part is the most important.

John Fox was never willing to utilize TEs consistently in the passing game. Occasionally there would be a play called for a TE, but this was at best once a game.

WR Moose Great

WR Proel service able

TE Mangum Bad

TE Wiggins Bad

vs

WR Smith Great

WR Lafell Service able

WR Nannee Bad

TE Shockey Great

TE Olsen Great

2003 2 great 1 serv, 2 bad < 2011 3 great, 1 serv, 1 bad.

Ricky was not "serviceable". He did his job/role very well. You can't tag Shockey/Olsen as both great and slap Ricky in the face like that. Ricky made some HUGE plays in 2003 and was the definition of consistant.

sure i can, in fact i just did.. but to defend my thinking, shockey, and olsen are some of the best for their position. you cant say ricky was like andre johnson. he was great. i knew i would catch hell for saying that, and in fact gave it some thought before putting it that way. however im sticking to it, cause thats my opinion. i do think he was great for this team, and i watched him make all off those clutch catches as well. but i just dont think at that time of his career he was in great status. i would say he was on the high side of servicable, honestly would you have had him on your fantasy football team?

Fantasy Football points do not measure a players worth.

Thank you

Ricky was the one spot that the 2003 team had that cannot be improved on. Ricky was money in the bank when it came to getting that drive continued.
