Randle El had another bad drop today, but has still been solid. McCardell has looked great every time he's been in, and Caldwell has a lot of experience. Thrash was awesome today, but his knee injury looked bad. This is a lost season for Moss I think. If he's healthy you have to play him some (I'm not suggesting we bench him), but get the other guys in the mix like today. I'd say it's a safe bet we go after a bigger WR either in the draft or FA this offseason. Lloyd-Moss-El hasn't worked out.

Yeah, you hate to basically write off this wideout lineup, but to me, this was the make or break year for the Moss/Lloyd/Randle El experiment.
This season, it's been an utter disaster. Since pass protection has generally been good, you can't put this one on offensive line injuries either. Maybe it's the development curve of Jason Campbell, but usually a team knows whether or not this combination of QB and receivers are going to work out. Year two should be when things begin to take off.
How ironic that after hearing that no wide receiver on the team has caught a touchdown yet, the one who finally does is way down the depth chart (and true to form for 2007, is probably gone for a long time due to injury).
