I agree his numbers would likely drop (but not a huge dive, IMO) and that people would complain about his $/reception ratio. But, I don't think those are good reasons to stay away from Chad Johnson, or any other top WR.

Because a lot of people don't understand that if you aren't thrown the ball, you can't make any impact.

Not true. Simply having a guy of CJ's caliber on the field would help Moss, Cooley, ARE, Portis, and anyone else on the field.
Nobody can convince me Houshmandzadeh is more talented than CJ. Houshmandzadeh, while a good WR, is putting up such good numbers because of who is taking coverage away from him.

Also, we have a slew of positions that are much more important to fill, and someone like Chad would take up ALL the space...cause he's THE BEST...just ask him.

WR is the starting position that needs to be upgraded the most. If Springs leaves and Rogers doesn't look like he'll be ready for the start of the season, then I'd say starting CB becomes the biggest need. But, as things stand today, WR is at the top.
