These are two names being thrown around as possible Patriot aquisitions. Who would you rather have?
Obviosuly Randle-El had a huge day yesterday, is Patriot-versatile, and could even seve as the 3rd QB, which would open up a roster spot. The one question mark I would have on him, is despite all the extras, can he consistently make the 3rd and 6 catch that is the bread and butter of being a Patriots receiver?
Jurevicius is kind of boring, but seems to work his ass off, get open, do his job, and every team he plays for seems to end up in the Super Bowl.

I like Jurevicious but think he will want more money than Bill will pay. Randle-El will clearly over rate himself. If we are going to overpay then lets overpay for Givens.
Well McGinnest did the same thing and he's no dummy. I'd take Randal-El.
I was upset with Willie when he did it too. Especially since that game was after this Pitts game. But, Willie's wasn't as egregious and he didn't turn the ball over. I'm sure Randle-El wouldn't come cheap. I don't want to ever see him in a Patriots uniform.

I like him best.
I could see the Pats adding Jurevicius even if they keep Givens. I disgree that he is going to be super expensive.
Randle El is said to be coveted by the Bears. He would clearly be the Givens replacement, in which case I agree with you that if they are going to overpay, they should keep Givens.
How about neither? There's other names out there you know. Randle El will be offered too much money, and Jurevicious is just plain too old and slow and I don't want him.

I hope what you say is true. Jurevicius is a beast, Seattle's most consistent player yesterday by far. I'd say the best player in the game next to Hines Ward. I'd certainly hope for him as a Pat.

Not really. Until teams start making cuts, there is not much depth to be had at WR this year. Here is the list of Unrestricted Free agent receivers:
David Givens - Obviously everyone's first choice, but will probably get a better offer from someone else, no matter what the Pats offer
Reggie Wayne - Would command same, if not more money than Givens
Antonio Bryant - Very big gamble - Donald Hayes anyone?
Keenan McCardell - Actually makes sense for Pats, stop gap until younger, long term solution can be found, won't break the bank
Koren Robinson - I'm sure he'll stop dropping the ball so much and run good routes now that he's in rehab
Antwan Randle El - If Givens leaves, the fact that he can save a roster spot for a thrid QB and contribute on special teams could make his high salary more palatable
Joe Jurevicius - basically same as McCardell
Restricted FA - Probably not going anywhere and can't see Pats matching offers and giving up draft picks for any of these guys
Brandon Lloyd
Nate Burleson
Kevin Curtis
