I think there are many factors that contributed to our inability to score last year-poor clock management, costly penalties in or near the red zone, receivers dropping passes, receivers not getting separation, bad decisions by the QBs, etc.
What I think Moss and Patten give us that we didn't necessarily have last year are two sure-handed recievers who can make plays after the catch. I don't disagree with your notion that a big receiver helps in certain situations, but as been mentioned we have Cooley, Royal, even Koz and Sellers.

No, I think you missed my point. What I said was that if Gardner and McCants were not effective, then go get a free-agent or rookie to replace them in size to balance the offense more. Gibbs wasted several roster spots that could have been a better match for his offense other than Dyson. There were many rookies in the combine that could have been picked up. I'm watching the game against the Ravens on NFL Network, and it is frustrating to see little ass Antonio Brown dropping balls all over the place. I think Cooley is the best option we have, Royal doesn't stay healthy, and Sellers is not being used enough in Gibbs offensive package.
My ideal receivers would have been Santana Moss, Mike Williams or Braylon Edwards, James Thrash, Jimmy Farris, 6'4, 235 Vincent Jackson. Why in the hell did they cut a guy that caught 2 TDS in his time to shine?
