Do we need a big receiver, I think so. But I do not think that is a top priority next year, and I don't think the receivers we have now will change. There are too many other problems in the defense to worry about receivers right now, plus we just spent too much money on them to not give them another chance with a year of experience under their belt in the new offense. In addition, Moss is not just a deep threat, he is very dangerous after he catches the ball short, we've all seen him make plays like that. In addition, he is surprisingly strong for his size. Remember this year in the Jaguars game when he scored the TD in OT, he had two Jaguars hit him before he broke free and scored. Also, last year in the 2nd giants game he had a big TD after breaking two tackles, the man is pretty versatile. I just think you're discounting Moss's skills a little bit.
Are you sure ARE was never a number 2 at Pittsburgh, who was it last year if it wasn't him? I'm pretty sure it was him, they drafted that guy Santonio Holmes from Ohio State to take his place, and I'm pretty sure he starts now.
