Keyshawn Johnson

Back on topic there is no way I would take Keyshawn on our team. His best years are way behind him and personally I don't think he ever lived up to the hype.

Well at least he played well throughout his career. Look at guys like Tim Couch. To me it seems that the guys in the top 10 are usually the ones who are most NFL ready or the ones with the most potential, and Keyshawn seems to me like he was one of those more NFL ready guys.

I agree he wasn't a bust. But he never was one of the best WR in the league if you ask me. Not even top 10 in his prime.

I disagree with that. Sure he didn't have the flash or lure of some of the other guys, but he was certainly a top 10 in his prime.
Look no further than 2001 when he had 106 catches for 1266 yards. Both were well into the top 10. (4th and 7th respectively) He is a 3 time pro bowler and all three of those years he was a top 10 wr. He has the 17th most receptions ever, and his 10571 yards ranks 24th all time. He did it in a quiet fashion (even though he had a fairly large mouth). The way he went about getting his stats kind of reminds me of a certain recent Hall of Fame inductee.

Everytime people talked about how our WRs had no touchdowns last year, I kept thinking back to Key's 2001 season where he had all those catches...but only one TD.

Well, those wr's had a combined 4 td's. We almost doubled that with 7. LOL. Either way, I can easily see the comparison.

I'd definitely agree with that.

He was solid but not much else. Seemed like he was always good for around 70 catches for 900 yards and 5-6 TDs.
