Would you want to make another possible mistake by blaming JC's youth on not bringing in a proven marquee player who could transform our offense into a scoring machine?????

good point about Romo/TO, but if you remember the first games Romo played, he was looking TO's way too much. This issue resurfaced in the philly game last week. Don't call the TO experiment in Dallas a success just yet, he's got plenty of time to screw that team.

JC will be in his 4th year next season, so you're right, the youth tag is wearing out. Maybe I should've just said we don't need a player w/such selfish tendencies as Johnson. It's a double edged sword - you want a wr that is confident & wants the ball, but you don't want him to lobby the qb to the point of forcing plays.

That became an issue in Gary Clark's last years here. He was constantly griping to Rypien to get him the ball & it affected Rypien's play (and that was one dude that didn't need help screwing up). They let GC walk in free agency to the cards.

overall, I just don't see C. Johnson as a good fit, regardless of his ability. I especially don't see him as a good value free agent. I would rather us pick up Briggs if the price is right, but I doubt that it will be.
