Gaffney is the perfect example of acceptance of mediocrity. He's been a Redskin for one year, had an average (if that) year for an NFL WR and at 31 has limited upside, but since we spent money on WR and not OL in free agency he's a wounded hero and must be defended.

And if we're talking in terms of mobility, Moss is better, with a 42 vertical against Gaffney's 34. So the size thing is kinda... moot?

Granted those numbers are old.

Wait a minute, wtf. Both of these guys are old! Isn't it bad when we have to decide which old guy to keep?!

That's interesting man...that f*cking interesting. Thing about Moss that frustrates me is I really suspect he loafs it more often than not...like he's afraid of leaving it all out on the field but still coming up short somehow. Maybe his time to make a big impact are over anyway, but if he would put the effort in he's arguably the most talented WR on the roster...and he fits Kyle's system the best at this point IMO.

I think a lot of people phoned it in last season, especially towards the end because by that point nothing was going right. But when was the last time Moss was playing with an above average QB? JC? Ramsey?

After getting RGIII confidence level will probably be pretty high, I don't expect much loafing if any.

That sh!ts gonna be stupid overcooked if you force the "same wings" assumption. I guess Garcon and Morgan are spring chickens in this instance, maybe that's why they look so appetizing to certain fans

i make buffalo wings for a living. bake before fry is the way

Something tells me that Fred Davis will be the Redskins most productive receiver in 2012. Without the suspension at season's end, he definitely would have had over 1,000 yards and would have made the pro bowl. If he duplicates half of what he did last year, Fred Davis will be an all pro. I'm expecting huge things from Pierre Garcon but I counting on Leonard Hankerson to be RG3's go to guy. I also expect Gaffney and Moss to be in the mix as well. I don't know how much Chris Cooley and Josh Morgan figures into the offensive passing game, but something tells me they will have their moments during the season.

Gaffney also didn't have Fred Davis the last 4 games so who were we gonna throw to? He's been a Redskin for 1 season, has never had a 1,000 yard season, has been in the league since 2002, is 31 years old, and we have 4 WRs on the roster better than him. I'm including Hankerson before he got hurt was looking good and I see breakout year for him. Gaffney is just another guy. A dime a dozen kind of WR. Name another team Gaffney would start for. **Kat Williams voice: Don't worry I'll wait"**
