I'm not sure how your scared of going up against Plax / Mason.
in my opinion it's not a bad signing, as he does provide experience/depth + can act as a possession WR
?? Not scared or particularly 'worried' about anyone---just saying that so many predicted/assumed that Sanchez would have Patrick Turner and Jeremy Kerley to throw to, lol. They also tried to spin some other no-names in there to make themselves feel better in the off-season.
Guess that was just another 'assumption' that was about as right as them being one of the worst teams up against the cap...and how they'd be in 'cap hell' etc.
As we all know, you can't be worried about the other 31 teams, but if you don't see Sanchez having more options than were predicted, you're kidding yourself.
Yes, Mason is obviously getting up there in yrs, but he does not provide the diva presence and drama that guys like Moss/T.O. etc provided at that comparable older age. He has proven himself as a viable possession WR. Hell, he seemed to do alright with Baltimore, and I don't remember anyone bringing up his age then. 2010 playoff loss in January:
Receiving Leaders
Baltimore REC YDS AVG TD
A. Boldin 64 837 13.1 7
D. Mason 61 802 13.1 7
Or how about as recently as October of last yr, when we barely escaped with an overtime win?? He absolutely torched the Patriot defense, and was the game leader as a WR:
D. Mason 8 (rec) 100 (yds) 12.5 (ave) 20 (long) 10 (total targets)
I Don't remember anyone bringing up his being 'old' then??
