good points for the most part here - he was injured more than he played, he's old, he dosn't play spec. teams, and he was a 2nd or 3rd wr in his prime.

I think we have to say it was a good signing overall. Before anybody quotes his low #s, remember that early in 05 our O opened up the vertical passing game & although he didn't catch a lot, he was a respected deep threat in the nfl who drew attention. When he & Thomas went down we struggled. It would've been interesting to see what he could've done in 05 playoffs if we hadn't put him on IR. Clearly Taylor Jacobs didn't step up the way the coaches thought he could.
