Moss was not that fast. You could argue that he did at the beginning of the season, but as it progressed he showed that he didn't add much. Ginn was the #5 WR? and couldn't catch worth crap...walker was NOT a stretcher..sorry..but that is just BS. That said, he's the biggest loss from 2012 that we never got back. Miller mitigated that somewhat.
So Boldin, Crabtree, Gore, Miller, VD..and later Patton. That's a boatload of talent.
Compare that to the Chiefs who are so desperate that Jenkins found a place to call home.
Watch the 2012 tape! Moss had DBs playing way off because of respect for his deep speed. VD speaks for himself. Ginn had guys playing back the few times he touched the field. Delanie was a 4.4 TE. He was a mismatch almost like VD. Paired with VD they were a lethal tandem. A former WR that blocked like an OL with 4.4 speed. We missed him a lot! Just Moss and Ginn speed opens up underneath and intermediate or the threat of it. Boldin and Miller did help mitigate the losses but only from necessity. Boldin and Miller were not supposed to be the number one and three here but they had to be. Defenses feasted with no one other than Boldin and VD when healthy to cover. I don't see a real argument here. The other WRs didn't step up and Marlon Moore Baldwin and KW had no business out there. Cmon man! Where have you been?
I said that Moss had them backed off early...they stopped doing that as the season went on. Delanie was 4.49....
So they traded speed for a couple of guys who can fight for the ball. You're telling me you'd rather have Moss and Ginn over Boldin?
