I don't want to put words in your mouth, but would it be right to say that you would have a preferred an receiving core of say Gardner, McCants and Muhsin Muhammad over Moss, Patten, and Thrash? Because of the height advantage they have.

I think there are many factors that contributed to our inability to score last year-poor clock management, costly penalties in or near the red zone, receivers dropping passes, receivers not getting separation, bad decisions by the QBs, etc.

What I think Moss and Patten give us that we didn't necessarily have last year are two sure-handed recievers who can make plays after the catch. I don't disagree with your notion that a big receiver helps in certain situations, but as been mentioned we have Cooley, Royal, even Koz and Sellers.
