Yet Another Wide Receiver Thread

These guys scream "free agent bust" when you look at them. Neither has been a #1 or #2 really since they use the good ole commitee approach. I'd rather play it safe and avoid these type of guys.

Please god, no Spike Burress. No overpaid names either. Here's a novel idea. Draft for the damn position for once instead of screwing around w/free agents.

It's hard to say how good some of these guys are because they such a strong team approach. There is a tendency to give Tom Brady a lot of the credit, but maybe those receivers make Brady look better than he would otherwise, but they are perceived as "average."

With our defense, we tended to say that Arrington was such a huge part of the success we had - and then he goes out, we find out some other guys could play that no fan would have thought could remotely do what they did this season. Our team ethic and gave them a chance for their talents to come out.

Anyway I think the path to success for our offense is getting it going with the same team ethic, and that means you don't have to go to the star search approach, where you have to find the home run hitter in free agency, to mix a sports metaphor.

I can see Taylor Jacobs fitting into that, and James Thrash - those are team guys. But Rod Gardner doesn't strike me as Mr. Team, nor does Darnerian "no special teams" McCants, nor does Laveranues Coles, in my perception, strike me as a "all for one and one for all type" although I hope I am wrong about that.

Please god, no Spike Burress. No overpaid names either. Here's a novel idea. Draft for the damn position for once instead of screwing around w/free agents.
Gardner, Jacobs, and McCants were all drafted by the Skins, and Thrash was an undrafted FA that was originally signed by the Skins. Coles was a FA, but I don't see anyone wanting to get rid of him.
As for this year, I think they could go either way....a younger FA, or draft a WR...or both (as long as they're not to expensive).
