I am not sure that is the case...to put Givens on some sort of pedestal is just as short sighted...He had many good points as a receiver..but a downside as well.SoonerPatriot said:What's also in vogue this week is minimizing our losses in FA. Sorta along the lines of "oh well, Jabbar Gafney really is just as good as Givens was."
I hope BB goes with a youth movement at WR. Losing proven players like Givens sucks, but at least if you draft someone, rather than plug in a stiff like all of those guys on that list, the potential for legitimate upside is there...sorta like with Givens when he was drafted. There's no upside with Gaffney and those other stiffs, with the possible exception of Caldwell.

There may be some WRs there that were limited by their system and their QBs ability..that is a possibility..one that you may have overlooked. I think I would take BB's opinion on who was a "stiff" or not over yours...I do think there will be vets as well as draft picks and others in the mix. Givens's loss was a big one..but far far from fatal.
