Exactly Steve. Last year clearly BB was understandably desperate for anyone who could do anything, especially stretch the field and provide a threat. Interestingly, most of CJ's receptions were right on the flat, possibly indicating that he couldn't run routes or didn't know the playbook. It mystifies me why so many fans here are obsessed with an unproven rook who has never been through a single training camp over a starting lineup of Moss, Stallworth and Welker, never mind Gaffney and Washington.
