Our Current status at the WR position

I also understand what others are saying too, he's been our best reciever. I know you've criticized his effort & route running in some games, but I agree w/the others here that say we need better wr's on the outside & his faults will be reduced. Likewise, his #s will drop as well, but I would think w/better options on the field his flaws would be minimized.

That's an excellent way to put it. In this case it would be more of a slightly below average FG%. Not terrible, but the 1,000 yard season is built entirely on being at the top of the league in targets.

I think 1) Anthony Armstrong is very underrated, but 2) Armstrong sees the targets and has the role of the number two WR. He's not going to switch roles with Moss. It wouldn't make any sense. So Moss has no where else to go in the rotation but his current role.

I'm saying he IS the best player on the roster for the role he's in. I don't think we could have done better because the roster is flawed. But if we re-up Santana Moss, we're keeping the status quo of an undertalented roster. Letting Moss walk could hurt the team in the short term (though probably not), but it opens up a roster spot and role for someone potentially better to step in.

I've said I'd like to see Kelly get first crack there, but I would not hitch all my hopes to Malcolm Kelly. I'd explore the draft for a nice receiver option who could play in our offense.
