Re: Predict our first major player acquisition

Seems to me we debated all last offseason about needing a big WR last year and look what happened, Moss sets the team record for receiving.

What I want is a productive WR across from Moss, regardless of height, which is vastly overrated if you ask me.

Oh come on Matty, just look at how big of a game changer Mike Williams was last year with all that size ...

thats what we should be preaching. production. TEs are much bigger than big WRs, if you really want red zone threats, the TEs in this draft (near our pick) are probably better at getting yards and catches than the projected 2nd round WRs.

Right. And, bear in mind that tall WRs, especially those with a good vertical leap, make better red zone threats than little guys like Santana who is better at stretching the field for you.

i dont care about height so much as i care about toughness. i want someone to be able to go across the middle and not worry about them getting up after a shot.

Thank you for saying what I was unable to say due to an uncontrollable desire to strangle #56fanatic.

#56fanatic, it's not about agreeing with me. It's that your argument flat out made no sense. You said Bruce was too old and on the downside of his career, yet advocated for Moulds even though he's only one year younger. You said Bruce was small, but he's friggin 6 feet tall. It's not about agreeing with me, it's about forming a coherent argument. You come on the board all the time with knowledge that you think is right, and you don't even check your facts. It bothers the heck out of me. And until you stop doing it, I'm going to roundhouse kick you all over these message boards.

blah blah blah. didnt I say I stand corrected with the age thing buddy! And the reason I would go for Moulds is his size. Like I said we have to smaller recievers and need a bigger one. That is not to say I jump all over him because he is a FA. If I had to choose between the two, that is who I would take. And in todays NFL 6ft 180 to 190 is not concidered big, average, not big. Big is 6-2 to 6-4 220. Owens,burress,walker,clayton,curry,muhammed ect. You can disagree like a mature person or an idiot, seems to me you always take the idiot route. Like I said, what fact or research do you want me to do? what facts am I to check. I was a year off with the age. thats something to freak out about! You are truely annoying with your comments when someone has a different point of view. I dont attack people, or say they are incoherent, that is just f***ing stupid. grow up act like a mature adult and let people have their opinions or statements. You make this a totally un enjoyable site with all your bull shit remarks and "I'll roundhouse kick your ass all over this site" please!

Why do you think we need a big receiver?

Just my feeling. thats why. why do you think we dont? I like big targets, especially when we are inside the 20 or 10.

heres how i feel on that. we had an exceptionally high red zone TD percentage without throwing ANY jump balls. i DO agree that we need soemone to go across the middle who can handle a hit. whether theyre big or not i dont care. i just want someone tough.

I think that inside the red zone we have big targets like Sellers and Cooley. I don't think the first thing I'd be looking at when looking at a WR to line up opposite Moss is a guy with size. I mean I don't think for example that a 6'5 Brian Finneran is the better choice over a 6'0" Brandon Lloyd simply because he's the bigger receiver.

Obviously, I didn't say lets go get a guy off the street that is 6-2 and over. you are twisting my words. This all started w/ why I would choose a 33 year Moulds or a 34 year bruce. I would choose Moulds because of size. Damn, what the hell is wrong w/ that. why is it a continous subject of conversation? Can I have an opinion? I really dont care what you say or who you want, this is my opinion I am entitled to say I like this person over that person. just as you are.
