What is with the constant bantering on here about old retread WR's? Moss, TO, 85? I dont really understand. The last 3 retreads on O we brought in havent exactly been lights out. Moss, Jacobs, Edwards. Why is there the notion that bringing another old, worn out vet is going to help us fill the role that Crabtree held. Hell, toss Manningham on that list of those that was supposed to put up big numbers (yes, he got hurt, but did he do a whole lot before then?) I hope Boldin can change that, but with the incredible ability of our FO to snag draft talent, i.e. Aldon, Kap, etc... they havent been all too good at playmakers when it comes to FA. Roster fillers, roll players, sure, they have that down.
Let our guys, AJ, Patton, Lockette, etc... battle it out in camp and PS, and trust that one of them will emerge to be the next great thing. Many posters on here like to say "in Harbalkee we trust", so do it. Stop beating the drum for old washed up "playmakers" because it looks like the smart move in Madden and trust the guys theyve drafted, groomed, redshirted will live up to the high picks and praise that management has given them.
