his exciting submit crafted me smile. Certainly will need to you throw within a amount of pics it could make the whole issue supplemental engaging. Anyway, in my language, there often are definitely not a complete good deal remarkable supply comparable to this.

Diommi86,

You obviously don't know much about the Seahawks.  Yes, the Seahawks gave a #1 for Branch, who was a #3 receiver in New England.  And if you knew anything about the Seahawks you'd know from day one Holmgren didn't envision Branch as a #1.  What he continually said was that Branch would give them an element (in an elusive slot guy) that they didn't have. 

Nate Burleson was never a #1 receiver.  Not in Minnesota, not in Seattle.

TJ Houshmandzadeh was always a #2 behind Ochocinco.   Ochocinco was the guy who command double-teams and Houshmandzadeh ran free as a result.  Most of the concern over his signing was because they were giving #1 money to a career #2/3 guy.

By your logic, any receiver they signed must have been signed TO BE a #1.  They signed Brandon Stokley last year hoping he'd be a #1, right?  Of course not. 

Go back and check the first clown's comments, he called these guys #1s - meaning they were #1s before they came to Seattle.

Not one of the three guys mentioned was a star.  Not one a true #1.  Maybe there's room for argument based on how you define a #1, but that clown was just trying to bang on the Seahawks with a BS statement that wasn't true.  Sidney Rice is the first guy they've signed who was considered a #1 around the league.  Personally, I don't like the signing, but that's the fact. 

Before you go bashing someone elses comment, you might want to check your own facts.  I gather you may "call" yourself a Seahawks fan, but if you really were an intelligent fan, you would realize the Seahawks gave a 1st round pick to the Patriots for Branch, who you say was a #3.  Not many teams (ok, none) would give up a 1st rounder for a #3 receiver.  Nate Burleson was given a huge contract to attempt to be a #1 receiver...  I think you may sense a pattern here, but I will continue...  And finally, TJ Houshmanzadeh was signed to be the #1 in Seattle as well.  Three attempts, and three swings and misses.  Join the real world fella...

So Brett Favre made Rice?  Did Favre run out and also catch the passes he through to Rice?  Remember, a lot of receivers had trouble catching Favre passes.  Rice didn't.

I would rather have the vikes put money towards AP & Greenway next year than overpay for Sidney this year. JMO

Im do not like tarvaris jackson at all but i also dont see him being with the team for long. I think the Hawks should go and see what the market is for Vince Young. He's not the best but he would be an improvement over Whitehurst and T Jack

Maybe Minnesota can get someone else or hit lightning in a bottle with another receiver talent.  Maybe they could steal Jones away from Green Bay and even things up a bit in the NFC North.

Please. "Steal" Jones. The Packers are not trying to re-sign him, at least at his salary requirements. He can be very good at times, but he also drops big passes even when all alone and looking at a sure TD, or at least a crucial 1st down. Can a team pay big bucks for a guy who can cost you the game? Every big play that goes to Jones is an adventure. He's missed on more big plays than he has hit. What's that worth to a team?

As far as evening things up, you'd have to replace Rice before the Vikings receiving corps will be close to what it could have been if they kept Rice in MN. The Vikings have some work to do if they want to make any ground on the Packers, who will enjoy the huge bump Grant and Finley give them in 2011.
