Imagine this. You're watching your team falter through another crappy season. Analysts and experts are saying their crap, and will be for the foreseeable future. What I want to know is, what one thing do you think they need, to be competitive.
My favorite football team is the New York Giants. They're a great team, and have gotten there with a roster full of young talent, so they should be competitive for a while. What one thing could they use to push them over the hump? A wide receiver. I'll admit it. I was happy when we cut Plaxico Burress. He was a distraction, and there's no denying that. But, we have failed to re-sign Amani Toomer, so we're left with Steve Smith as our number one wide-out, and a list of unknowns behind him (Moss, Manningham, Hixon). We have running backs that can catch (Bradshaw, Hedgecock), and 3 capable tight ends (Boss, Matthews, Johnson), but we don't have that top receiver that will stretch the field for us. We're almost forced into being a team with a west coast offense.
