SOMEONE HAS TO PAY!!
Seriously, I think we keep wanting to give everyone one more year and mostly I agree, but none of the WR's showed much in the way of good coaching, I think what we see on the field is the raw ability mostly. I really don't know, but it seems like we should have seen some "thing" over 5 years that either said yes keep him, or else it is time to move on. He is not a qb in new systems, he is a pro WR receiver coach with 5 yrs experience. If this is good as he gets, we can do better. (maybe worse, but that's hard to see)


I would say that is almost all Moss' natural talent, plus coaching he had when he got here, I've never heard Moss or any WR credit Hixon, so maybe that sways me too. I won't knock him hard for not developing any of the others, so I won't give him a lot of credit for a naturally talented WR.

For me two things are paramount:
1) In 5 years he has not visibly improved one prospect (Kelly/Thomas are still pending)

2) This is not a "essential personnel move" like JC, or Zorn, where another year could make or break them. Instead, this is a position where an improvement now could pay huge dividends in training Kelly and Thomas to be #1 receivers. The flip side is if it is Hixon, and he wastes another year here, we could potentially scrap Kelly and Hixon's careers.

Think you meant Thomas' careers and yeah that is one of my biggest concerns as well.
