What this all means for Moss?

But even if you count him in there, you had Boldin, then Colston, then Bowe. That's what, 3 WRs in like 5 years? Odds aren't good.

Kelly especially is very raw. I do think that Thomas has a good chance to be the best rookie WR in the league this year. 800 yards is a good target for him. Will that set the league on fire? No. And it won't make us a juggernaut offense, because ARE is going to take a step back.

The only way our passing game really gets cranking is if Moss somehow stays fully healthy and the team gets on the same page with Campbell in a hurry.

In the end, I'm looking at Portis to carry us on his back. In 2010 I'll look for a more dynamic passing game. 2009 is time for growing pains.

I agree that Moss needs to play for the passing game to excel. He is the only one with speed that can command a double team and keep the safety honest. At this point I don't think anyone else does. Hopefully the rookies will get there, but we won't know until probably December about that.

I also think the offensive line will be the biggest factor in how we do offensively. If Jansen and Thomas don't come back to their old playing forms then it could be a long season especially if anyone goes down.
