Housh - A minimum of 904 yds receiving per season over the past 6 years with sub-par QBs (IMO). If you want to try and tell me that Housh is a worse option than Roydell Williams or Joey Galloway at the #3 or slot position... please go ahead.

You, and everyone else, knows what I was getting at... I clearly stated that these guys would help evaluate our QB... I didn't say... "TJ Whoseyourmomma... Championship!"
Both are better options at the no. 3 receiver than we currently have. But why bring guys in here to play once or twice per offensive series? The difference between Roydell Williams and T.J. Houshmandzadeh in a third down receiver role isn't even a half point per game. But to get that improvement, you have to overpay the receiver by nearly five million, give him a roster spot guarantee, and make him happy in his role.

Changing the team culture doesn't mean overpay a receiver for incredibly limited performance. Sometimes, it's better to save the money and have the lesser performer as the third down receiver. I think this is one of those times.

Having Joey Galloway make this team was ridiculous though.
