Ideally, I think Shanny sees Garçon over the top and taking crossing routes for big gains, Hankerson as the chain mover across the middle of the field and a red zone target & Morgan in the Gaffney role of 3rd down receiver or can beat an overmatched corner/safety. I don't think there's much expectation for Moss or Gaffney in the plans going forward. If we got Royal, I'm pretty sure Moss would have been cut or would be a June 1 cut because he would become our slot WR.

I can mostly agree w/ the first paragraph. As to the rest, you and I agree this is what Mike/Kyle are grasping for...the difference is I don't believe those three players (Garcon, Hankerson and Morgan) are likely to develop into that overnight if ever, and I hope this time around Mike swallows the pride pill and rethinks the starters so Griffin benefits from better consistency and overall results as a rookie QB w/ the weight of the world on his shoulders.

...i.e. I anticipate another ego vs. practicality/team/results situation, and I'm hopeful w/ the gravity of the decision on his mind Mike chooses Griffin and some combo of Gaffney, Moss, Davis/Cooley and some rotation/combo of Garcon, Hankerson or Morgan.
