Fortunately for us, we can get a good developmental guy that can be inserted into the number 2 spot when we go 3 wide. In our 2 WR packages we have the option of keeping ARE in the number 2 slot or putting Reche there if we get him resigned.

I concur that Moss is a solid number one as long as a veteran QB is throwing to him. Our offense is going to go as Jason Campbell does. If Jason struggles, then the team will struggle, regardless of who is playing the WR positions. Case and point, Randy Moss in Oakland VS him in NE. In no way am I saying that our recievers are Randy Moss, but I am saying that the QB can make or break recievers. Sadly the reverse is also true, however I do not feel that our guys can hurt Campbell as much as Campbell may potentially hurt them.

I love Campbell and I want to see him develop, but right now he is light years away; and a new offensive system isn't helping matters much.

Light years away? Seriously? I agree that a new offense isn't a good thing for him, but I don't see "light years away."

To your point about Santana Moss and Jason Campbell. Admittedly, Campbell missed him on some deep shots early in the year, but Moss was injured in the Giants game week 3, he played horribly when he came back against Green Bay (a game that Jason played well in and receivers dropped multiple passes), and then had some OK games along with the 121 yard game in Dallas.

Yes, Moss played well at the end of the year (though he had exactly 1 100 yard game with Campbell and exactly 1 100 yard game with Collins), but that was also the first time he was fully healthy since the beginning of the season (in those games he had 89 yards against Philly and 82 yard against NYG).

I think if you fairly evaluate Campbell's performance last year, especially that three game stretch from Philadelphia to Tampa (Buffalo was a bad situation and he was hurt against Chicago) you see a guy on the verge not a guy who is "light years" away. Maybe you didn't mean to imply such a huge gap, but your language certainly suggests that he is years away from being a decent QB and that he somehow held back Moss (rather than Moss's injuries) last year.
