Wasn't there a season where Keyshawn had 102 catches but only 1 TD? Just because he had some touchdowns doesnt mean he would come in here and just beasting on everyone.

First of all, TD's is the most important recieving stat, I don't care how many field goals a reciever sets up, a TD is more important. Second of all, TD's isnt his only stat where he is good. Over 7 games played (including the playoff game) he had 38 receptions (that's 5.5 receptions per game which is under 1 reception per game less than Keyshawns 102 catches) he also had 485 yards over 7 games played. That is averaging 70 yards per game. Santana Moss had 67 receptions over 15 games played (including the playoff game). That is 4.5 receptions per game, which is a larger difference from Hackett than Hackett was from Johnson. Moss had 876 yards over 15 games played which is 58 yards per game. That is 12 yards less than Hackett.

It was 106 catches btw, and i don't care how much yardage or how many catches per game he had, because those stats don't mean anything, if he had played 16 games who knows how good or bad he would have been, and are you saying that DJ Hackett is better than Santana, because it sure looks like you were, there is no comparison, Santana is better and always will be better than DJ Hackett.

Seeing that Seattle was a pass first team this season and with all the injuries to their recieving core I am not suprised he got those yards at all.

That's a very good point. Seattle was a pass first offense, with a veteran quarterback that spread the ball around. So stats were there to be had. That doesn't necessarily mean that D.J. Hackett was all that good. If Jason Campbell can adjust to the new offense, I see Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle-EL's numbers increasing. Resigning Reche Caldwell might be the best option. He is a very capable receiver and would be a good third option. I'm also hoping Mix steps up and becomes a viable option.

It definately doesn't automatically mean that Hackett got those yards because he was good (certainly it could have been because of circumstance), but in Hackett's case, he had performed well not only last year, but also in '05 and '06. He's a very safe pickup for Carolina.

Plus he won the MNF Fish Catching contest in 2005. Of course he's going to be good .
