This is a passing league with rules designed by Bill Polian to help passing teams. I would absolutely investigate a contract for Vincent Jackson provided it was a 4-5 year deal. I'd investigate a contract for Lance Moore provided it was a 3 year contract.
The Patriots are now a passing team. The Patriots have been a passing team for a while. If Tom Brady is our greatest asset, you don't put mud around him. You put quality around him.
And we have a remarkable run of 1 straight of SB winners who's QB was their best player and passing game was their biggest strength. Oh, and it should be noted, that team was medicore until its running game and defense improved.
Just because teams throw more often does not mean the difference between winning and losing is a moderately better pass offense. Actually quite the contrary seems to be what is supported by the facts.
Besides, WR production is very much a chicken-egg argument. 90% of the production comes from running routine routes, and running them somewhat effectively. Production from WRs is as much a function of being the guy who gets picked to run the route as it is talent, which is why you see tremendous production differences when players change teams and situations.
