In all likelihood, it will be Cooley. While he won't be a focus of the passing game, he will be the outlet receiver on many plays. If that nets him 5 catches a game, he's an 80 catch receiver. While he won't lead the team in yards, and likely won't be the leading receiver in any individual games, he will consistantly get balls.
I second this statement.

I dont think Cooley will get enough looks to lead the team in receptions, although I do think he may lead the team in TD Receptions. I'm going to put my money on Taylor Jacobs, I really just have a feeling this is will be the year that he really steps it up. Its either Jacobs or Moss leading the team, if its anyone else we're probaoly going to be in trouble.

I don't know why, but Patten seems most likely to me; given his experience and the fact that he is less injury prone than Moss. Cooley will catch some, but if he is our leader in receptions, that is not a very good sign. I would be surprised if Jacobs leads the team being completely unproven, but hey...ya never know.

I want to see Jacobs lead the skins in # of catches, but I went with the numbers and picked Moss. He's being paid like a #1 WR and if healthy I think the real S Moss is more the 75 catch 2002 player than the one we saw last year.

I'm torn between Cooley or Patten. I'm leaning toward Patten. For some reason I think of Henry Ellard when I think of Patten could mean for us. Just a guy who was always there when you needed that first down...then again that's what Cooley was last year
I could see Jacobs leading in YPC

I can definitely see Patten being a sleeper for us. I like the Ellard analogy. I always remember him being quiet until a big play was needed.
Ellard was clutch when we had him. Even though he was on the downside of his career he was still money. He ran the tightest routes. Too bad we didn't have better teams around him.

Cooley!!! lol
If I told you last year that Tony G would lead the league in catches and Gates would have 13 TD's you probably would have laughed as well!!
Someone save this post, I wouldn't shocked if Cool Chris Cooley lead the skins with 68 catches next year!
But I think Moss will have at least 75-80 catches. . .

I wouldn't be shocked either and if he stays healthy, I can see him breaking 1000+ yards.

gortiz...doubt I would have laughed ...Tony G is and has been the best tight end in league for a while
