How far away is Crayton from starting? Base this on personal assessment, not what you think Parcells will do cause his favoritism isn't a part of this question. Personally I think he brings just as much to the field as either of the other two. He's almost like a combination of both their talents.

It's hard to say. He was really good as the #3 at the beginning of the season. After he got hurt, he lost alot of his explosiveness. Notice how he was our punt returner at the beginning of the season, not because of his blinding speed, but because of his explosiveness and his shiftiness. He seemed to have not regained that when he returned late in the season. I think he has the tools to be a very good WR in this league. He's got great hands, runs nice routes, but it's different when you become a 1 or 2WR, teams are gameplanning around you more.

Seatlle got rid of Robinson prior to this last season, they went to the Super Bowl. Pittsburg got rid of Burress prior to this last season, they went to the Super Bowl. Two cancers out, two rings in. Maybe there's something to it..........

I'm not sure who the cancer is. Bryant was a cancer, and he's out. Keyshawn, by all things I have heard, and his conduct on the field, is a great teammate. Glenn doesn't seem like a problem either. So I'm not sure what you are getting at.

So what do yall really think we have with Glenn and Keyshawn, what can be replaced about them, what can't be replaced about them?

Glenn was the only legit deep threat we had. So if you can find me a guy who can run fast AND play WR (no more Randall Williams), then you could replace Glenn.

Keyshawn is a good blocker, a vocal leader, and he gets the tough cathches over the middle.

Between the 2 of them, if you see 133 catches, 1,978yards, and 13td's on our roster right now, then I think we could replace them.

I don't see Reggie Wayne being a better option, he makes some amazing grabs, but let's see him outside the Colts offense. Moulds isn't the youngest guy, so I see no point in bringing him in.

Overall, it doesn't make much sense to get rid of either of them. It does make sense to add some youth to learn behind them. Perhaps the draft?

Is this going to be a type of thing where we have to literally run Parcells out of Dallas to ever see someone else playing the position over his "Detention Boys"?

Yes, his boys held the 1 and 2 WR slot, but look at Price. Parcells had the vet, and he chose to play Crayton ahead of him. That shows you that he isn't only going for vets, and that he is playing younger guys.

I can't say that our WR will hold up for another 16 game season, but I feel we have more pressing needs coming up.

My point was we'll never really know about Price because he never went through camp and BP never played him in games. We can't tell how good he was and hte feeling you get was he wasn't allowed to compete with TG and Key. Not saying he was better, but how can anyone, including BP, tell? Maybe the nail in Price's coffin was Flozell getting hurt and a dearth of blocking for deep patterns.

BTW, I was really disappointed that Crayton never came all the way back from his injury.

Price excelled as the #2 in a pass happy Buffalo offense.

He went to Atlanta and didn't do anything.

When will you guys get over the fact that he had 1 good season. ONE. Parcells may have his oppinions about players and his ideas, but I dont think he has an agenda.

Of course Parcells has an agenda. To field the best team he can, not necessarily the most talented.

TO is not even being anywhere as obnoxious and full of himself as Key was now that he's going through a similar thing. Just something to think about when you constantly read about the TO and Ricky Williams of the league and how so many would never trust them, yet we start two eariler versions of them without a worry in the world.

First of all. see how long Ricky Williams stayed out of trouble? He is once again affecting his TEAM!!! T.O. has affected both of his teams.
Keyshawn may be a bully and a brat, but he has done nothing to affect this team in a negative way. Same with Terry Glenn. Before both of them were here, I wanted the Boys to sign both of them. I do not feel that way about T.O.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why not wait and see what Parcells does in FA and the draft before making the conjecture that no young wide receiver will play here. That position has been the least of our needs in the last few years. Now it is becoming important that we get some youth.
