Absolutely still talented, just look at that one-handed TD catch on Revis this year. I've never seen anyone catch a ball like that before, it was incredible.

However, that was probably one of just a handful of plays he actually put any effort in.

Meanwhile back in Cinci, T.O. is quietly racking up talented TD's of his own. And no drama I might add.

None in Cinci, but he did take a shot at McNabb on the TOcho Show this week

My point is we are fine without T.O. We are fine without Moss. Both of them are great talented receivers. We had a shot at both of them and passed. I don't think it really matters in the big picture of things as far as the Skins future is concerned.

Everyone was against T.O. because they were scared of the locker room distractions. Moss fills the same argument IMO.

It would have been fun and exciting to have either on our team IMO. But neither is a make or break for the Skins. At this point I think the best we can hope for at this point is that DM comes back on fire and that he and Shanny really have "put things behind them".

Where are the Art Monk's of today? Classy/awesome WR's, will there ever be one again? It seems that 80% of WR's today are ****ing DIVAS.

Funny I was thinking the same thing while writing my last post. Except Jerry Rice came to mind. But Monk was pure CLASS!!!!
You're so right about the Prima WR's these days.

The ones that come to mind:
Andre Johnson, big results, very little to say - that's why he's the best.
Larry Fitzgerald - not far behind JOhnson if at all & he's a very cerebral dude.
Heinz Ward - plays like the posse used to, tough, gets yac, blocks.
Anquan Boldin - I know he wanted out of Arizona but he played well & kept quiet for the most part even when unhappy w/his contract.

I'd say Andre Johnson is in the same boat as Monk. Very quiet, humble from all accounts, but he always comes to play and he is very consistent at being a playmaker. Did anybody see him hobble back on the field against the Colts after his ankle injury flare up? He took a play off (mandated), probably got a shot or something, and then was right back in there because it was the Texans' most important drive of the game. I'd love to have him on my team.

Exactly! Look at the class of receivers today, Moss, T.O., Vincent Jackson, Santonio Holmes, Donte' Stallworth, and the list goes on. I guess I got spoiled watching receivers like Monk, Rice, Sterling Sharpe, Chris Carter, James Lofton, etc. Those receivers played the game with class.

Calvin Johnson of the Detroit is doing a good job and has so far looked like a good guy.
I have not followed every moment of his career but he looks and sounds like a good kid. Plus his play is out of this world good. I think he is currently a top 2 or 3 WR in the entire NFL.
