Two major concerns

Speed and size is a MUST in our division so why limit our offensive targets with guys who Ramsey seems to struggle throwing the ball to? If Gibbs puts bigger targets around Ramsey, his completion rating will go up. I expect far more from our running game than I do from our passing game for that reason.

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying. T.O. is in a league all by himself, he's more than just a big receiver. So it's not like us having McCants would be the same as having TO. Before him, Philly's "big" receiver was Pinkston. True, he had a good year in 2002, but I would say that the Eagles pretty much won in spite of him. Plax has yet to play a regular season game with the Giants, so you can't already say that they are successful with him. And Key has just played one season with the Cowboys, a season in which they finished 6-10. Plus we're don't stop big receivers with big receivers of our own, we stop them with big (and talented) defensive backs. Enter Shawn Springs and Carlos Rogers
