Chad couldn't let them work deeper (he also laid them out for big hits) and KC was real inaccurate. Now, some of that is on the OL, but the QB play has to get better or we could have Moss, Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Smith in the slot, with Gates at TE, and still suck.

Especially if you believe in the "it takes three years for a WR to break out" rule. Year 1 - 9-61-0TD Year 2 - 32-325-2TD Year 3 - ??-???-?? For comparison: Cotchery's numbers... Year 1 - 6-60-0TD Year 2 - 19-251-0TD Year 3 - 82-961-6TD Don’t rule out a breakout year for Smith either. Especially if you believe in the “it takes three years for a WR to break out” rule.

Year 1 – 9-61-0TD
Year 2 – 32-325-2TD
Year 3 – ??-???-??

For comparison: Cotchery’s numbers…

Year 1 – 6-60-0TD
Year 2 – 19-251-0TD
Year 3 – 82-961-6TD

I think this will be a breakout year for him. Coles 1 Cotchery 2 Stucky 3(has great speed). The Jets are deceptively deep at WR its just that Stucky was hurt last year so no one has seen him play. Also dont forget about Justin Miller at CB. If you remember before last year Eric Mangini couldn't say enough about him. Again people forget because he was hurt. Now i'm not saying dont draft a WR or CB but I don't think they are first round needs. This year is deep at CB and WR theres no need to take one early considering no one can agree on whos best.

I believe that Cotchery is a physical receiver, and he can get stronger in that aspect of his game like Boldin. Boldin is no bigger than Cotcherry and just runs over safeties and corners. James Hardy is a good prospect at WR, and although he lacks top-end speed. His height makes up for this i.e. Burress. As he will learn how to use his body to shield away corners and safeties from the ball.

Guys like Don Maynard, George Sour Jr.,Wesley Walker,Rob Moore, Al Toon and of course Wayne. I feel LC belongs with those guys. Because of his friendship with Chad...Chad named his son after LC, and offered part of his salary to get him back from Washington, LC does things for his QB that dont always make him have the best numbers , and which put him at terrible risk. I have watch LC since he played for FSU, and from day one with the jets. Early on he had deceptive speed and was a true burner. He lost a step but his routes became as crisp as they can get, and he has soft hands, and he is the toughest WR in the NFL....OK enough I like the guy. JC does not have the raw talent that LC has, but he is as graceful as a dancer, has great hands and a big heart to match. If these guys had Peyton Manning as a QB they would both be top 20 receivers. Harvlis talks about aWR in the draft named James Hardy...I watch him play, and agree with Harvlis...go after this guy. One big fast deep theat wil make our 2 other guys even better then they are right now. Over the many years that I have been a fan, perhaps the best talent we have has came from the WR position.

(injured and sacked from the Eagles) or Moss (stuck in Raider hell). You are asking us to disregard one of L.C's worst years by comparing one of his best against the worst seasons of two others. It's hard to have your cake and eat it too! Joe, please don’t dismiss L.C’s numbers in 2007 by comparing his 2006 numbers with those of T.O. (injured and sacked from the Eagles) or Moss (stuck in Raider hell).
