With Moss, ARE, Cooley, and then three pass catchers taken with the first three picks, I would have never envisioned us having this kind of discussion. Damn.

Of course Devin is screwing up though; he's a rookie playing in an offense that is new for everyone. As good as we are now, we need to take a long term approach. It will take years for the entire team to learn this offense, but when it finally does, it will be nasty. The more we can keep guys in (ESPECIALLY guys who are making mistakes) the more dividends it will pay in the long run.
