The notion that Randle El adds something to this team or will morph into a great slot wideout has been a mystery to me for a while. Sure, he's had some good moments here and there. The 2006 season comes to mind. He had one great game against Miami in 2007. But overall he's been a flop.

I say James Thrash will be as much of a mentor to our WRs, if not more, than Randle El. If it weren't for that outrageous contract he received, I think he would have been gone last year.

Thank you. Somehow, Randle El acquired the 'I-Don't-Have-To-Produce-Jack-Sh*t-And-The-Fans-Will-Always-Love-Me' card. Not many players in the history of the league can get that kind of pass.
