Also, if the current corp is better than last year's corp (Moss, Patten, Thrash) then why are the Redskins 'out of their mind' for improving their team?
I also wanted to point out the relative failures of recent small wr corp like the Steelers (Ward, Randle El), Patriots (Branch, Patten, Givens), Colts, Rams, etc..

Well, I'm sure if he responds (which he won't) he'd say something like "the difference is that the Colts have Peyton Manning throwing them the ball."
While I disagree with King on the importance of tall wideouts, all these signings mean nothing if Mark Brunell's final 2 games of '05 are a foreshadow of 2006. We cannot discount the quarterback situation. How much does Brunell really have left? Is Jason Campbell ready? Could Todd Collins actually see time starting any games in the regular season? Those are important questions that could be the sole difference between the Redskins going to the Promise Land or falling flat on their face.
