I never assumed that you thought these things. My points are based on T.O having a modest season. 600 yards, 3 Tds AT BEST, and likely less.
I'm arguing that the short-term should not be sacrificed in favor of the long term gains. The big question that should be addressed is simple: What do we gain wins/losses-wise picking up T.O? And I'd answer, not enough to justify the move(maybe 2 or 3 at best). I'd rather cut Hankerson for some impressive (to the coaches) practice squader over T.O. And I would be ALL ON BOARD for that move as well. Yes, replacing Hank for some PS'er. No sarcasm. Why? Because it's following the same principle: hunting for long-term assests.

With Gaffney, Austin, and Paul, a guy from the practice squad who's had 6 weeks to study the playbook and still run around like a chicken with his head cut off it doesn't look very promising. The odds are against Hankerson is what I've been getting at. I get that everything is a risk, some guys actually show promise. To me seeing his college tape and his pre-season tape, Hankerson doesn't.

And I state 5%. FIVE ****ING PERCENT and THREE-THOUSANDTHS of a percent of being a superstar AND YOU'RE ASSUMING I'M IN LOVE WITH THE DUDE AND DESTINED FOR SUCCESS.

But if you wanna fill the team in your head with a bunch of what-if's, go right ahead. This argument is ridiculous because apparently I wanna take TO and make him play for 5+ years and think he's never/hasn't dropped off. Silly me.

I never assumed that you thought these things. My points are based on T.O having a modest season. Anywhere between 400-600 yards, 3 Tds, give or take.

But for the sake of you being right and the Skins getting better, I hope Hankerson ends up the second coming of Jerry Rice.

Wait, a guy I stated that I think has .03% chance of becoming a superstar is someone I have a mancrush on? 3 thousdanths of a percent is not that high at all.

You'll probably keep on assuming those same things about me no matter how many times I try to clarify it. That's one assumption I'll actually make from your posting history.
