I'm really not sure what you mean by that; Moss, ARE, and Lloyd have loads of talent. I don't think we really need to get a big receiver. Moss is strong for his size, he manages to break tackles and get out of situations where it looks like he's going to get tacked a lot. Look at other receiving groups, our receivers are really not that small.
Lloyd- 6 ft. 192lbs
Moss- 5'10 185lbs
ARE - 5'10 192lbs
Marvin Harrison - 6ft 185
Reggie Wayne - 6ft -198
Chad Johnson - 6'1 192lbs
TJ whosyourmama - 6'1 199lbs
So we are a little small, but what they lack in size they make up for in other skills. I am not totally trying to discount having a big receiver, all of KC's receivers were close to 200lb or more, so maybe Saunders is used to working with big guys, and on the Cardinals LJ weighs 226 and Boldin weighs 223, freakin huge. Plus we used to have a big guy at receiver, his name is Rod Gardner, he didn't do much.

Moss is a good receiver but he can not do it by himself. I do not know how you get the idea that, besides Moss that we have anything else at the receiver position. Our receivers are like 27th in the league and would not be that high if our tight end stats were not put in with theirs.
And we had another big guy and his name was Arthur Monk. Remember him?
