I'm talking about the 1999 Redskins. The Norv Turner coached 1999 Redskins. This is something that excites me about next season, because the more I think about it the more it seems like Norv is trying to follow that pattern.
What I'm talking about is the 1999 Redskins offense. It was the first team ever to have a 4000 yard passer, 2 1000 yard recievers, and a 1400 yard rb.
Here's a link to the stats. http://www.jt-sw.com/football/pro/stats.nsf/Annual/1999-was
Now, that seems lofty..but look at the talent they had at those positions..
QB- Brad Johnson- He's probabaly better then Fiedler, but by no means leaps and bounds. Both are QB's who play within the offense and are there to manage and not make mistakes, not carry the team on their back.
RB- Ricky compares favorably to Stephen Davis in basically all aspects of the game. Better runner, better pass catcher.
WRs- We have much better WR's then they had. Neither of the WR's they have had a 1000 yard before and after that year. Hell, neither of them are in the NFL anymore. All of their seasons besides the 1999 season were below all of Thompson and Chambers seasons so far.
As for non WR threats, we can do the same as they did, but it'll be more of a mix between players. Centers and Davis had 655 yards combined. Last year Ricky and Konrad had about 600. Konrad evidently will see an increased role next year.
I think we can match them Tight End wise, too. I think McMicheal can be a better TE then Stephen Alexander.
I really think we can achieve the same kind of reletive offensive stats. We may have shifts in some areas, it's definately not out of reach. It's just exciting to see what a Norv Turner offense can do when it gets going, and how we have virtually all the tools to use it.
