Brandon Lloyd vs Javon Walker:

[Daseal]

I'm in no way trying to say Santana sucks, but I think we need to look at the very possible reality that he might not repeat his stats. Someone earlier said stats show the true picture, so I tossed that out there to show that it's not like he was torching anyone great. While he had some huge games, namely Dallas I (as far as importance of his catches) until he has a repeat performance I'm going to be skeptical of him as a true #1. I don't think that's too unrealistic.

One of the other things the stats don't show: double coverage.

The impact of Patten going done was very significant. Moss was the only WR that anyone had to worry about for half the season. If we do add Lloyd and Randel El, the impact on the passing game for the TEAM (this isn't fantasy football, Moss' numbers don't matter, the teams do) will be highly significant.

SEA was in the Super Bowl and we weren't because our passing game needed some Viagra. We aren't likely to upgrade at QB. Upgrading at WR2 and WR3 is far less expensive and will get us much closer to where we want to be.

Nothing wrong with being a bit skeptical until he proves he can do it again, but if you're skeptical of Moss, it seems odd you would say Lloyd could be our #1, when he hasn't had anything close to the kind of season Moss had last year.

It's not like last year was the first year Moss put up good stats though. In 2003, he had 74 catches, 1105 yards and 10 TDs. In 2004 he only had 45 catches, but he did finish with nearly 900 yards receiving (not #1 receiver stats, but I don't think he was the Jets top option that year anyway).

Remember when he came last year, he noted how Coles had like 90 catches and that if he had that many oppurtunities to catch the ball that he could have easily put up big time numbers. I don't know though if he delivered on that promise. I mean 1483 yards thats like only, 14.8 football fields.
