Stats on our three expected starters, and a couple FA vets for contrast. I really hate how much Tana fumbles and wish he improves markedly this season. It's possible, right?

Burress is (still) a touchdown machine. And I think he'd enjoy playing the Giants twice a year. Changing my mind then pass on Ocho and we should sign Burress.

I can't remember who said Garcon is our #1 WR, but anyway I agree we've paid him like one. There's just no data or intuition to indicate he'll play like one. If he does our FO gets huge props. Regardless, I still hold to the notion Griffin will be best served by giving him the best (available) big target, especially for the end zone. Plaxico's eight touchdowns on limited action last year is pretty scary. The last time we had a WR catch 8 or more TDs in a season was 2005. And none of our WRs on the roster are big end zone threats.

I realize we're not built to win it all today. But SanFran is, and that's why getting a TD monster like a motivated Randy Moss was brilliant.
