Anthony Mix Must Be Our Man

Those are rare finds. You give them a chance to earn jobs in camp, but if you're EXPECTING them to develop into a starter, as a GM you should be fired.

If you feel you have a hole at WR, you need to make a move cap-permitting. And the cap permits in this instance.

The only reason I made that comparison was to show that sometimes guys who you think are nothing more than scrubs, rise above and become good players in the NFL. I'm not saying Mix is the next A.P., far from it. I don't personally care if Mix ends up being worthless or if he becomes a good player for us, because I'm not on the "Mix is our guy" bandwagon.

It just sounds to me like you refuse to believe that some guy who you don't have a great impression of has the ability to cut it in this league. Besides what you have really seen of AM to give you this impression? You are just going off what you've heard, which is really to say nothing at all because there haven't been any reports of any kind about how Mix is faring in the NFL so far. Let me say again I'm not on the "Mix is the next Rice" bandwagon, but I'm not ruling it completely out that some day in this league he could be a productive player. And when I say productive player I'm not implying a productive starter, simply a guy who can contribute moreso than other guys at his position.
