-Randle El is a solid WR who is probably a bit in over his head trying to be a #2 WR. Particualarly when the #1 is Santana Moss
-I have the utmost respect for Caldwell, McCardell, and Thrash. Solid contributors who, for the most part, did their part. But two are gone. And the third probably needs to go soon. Plus we can't fall back on guys like that and the Jimmy Farris' of the world each time we have injuries to our wide receivers, which has happened plenty the last several years (Patten, Lloyd, ARE, Moss, Thrash all out for extended games)
-I'm sure Mix has plenty of potential. Let's see it
-Devin Thomas' upside is...unknown. I was stunned he fell to us.
-As is Malcolm Kelly's. Yet I think Kelly will have the more immediate impact. I think over the next several years, Moss and Thomas will be our star WRs. But they should be thanking Malcolm Kelly for making it easy for them. I was thrilled we got him when we got him.
-When I say no one to throw to, I mean if the starters are hurt.
-What I'd like to see this year. Moss 1, Kelly 2, ARE/Thomas 3 (and then we'll see about the rest)
-So I don't think my opinion has changed. I want to give Moss every opportunity to be the #1 WR. He's earned it. But he needs help and he needs to stay healthy.

Alright, so maybe the "if you don't have anyone to throw" to clause doesn't apply to the Redskins, then?
Just clarifying/playing devil's advocate.
I would also like to see Kelly and Moss start, but early on this year, it seems to be more likely to be Randle El and Moss.
