WHo Needs More Touches?

What an eventful offseason for the NFL. A face of a franchise for over a decade dealt to a division rival, another franchise face gets in some serious legal troubles, a great college coach takes another shot at working in the NFL after failing before, a controversial coin toss, The Redskins and Cowboys staying quiet in free agency during an uncapped year, the Jets trying to be like the Redskins, and all this without a single mention of The Gunslinger. Now oone of the most talented WRs in the league gets dealt. Together with Boldin and Holmes, Marshall makes it three big time WRs that have moved this year. Another big name WR, though not as good as he thinks he is, still hasn't even found a home.

The league is, finally, fighting back against the prima donna wideouts. For years now, we've all accepted that WRs are arrogant and selfish. We've been okay with it. But now a new breed of wideout is entering the league. Led by Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson, and Andre Johnson, these new wide receivers are showing us that selfishness doesn't have to be a pre requisite to being talented. I mean, look at the best WRs in the league: the aforementioned three, Welker, Austin, Rice, Wayne, Smith, Jackson, Jackson, White, Jennings none of these gave caused problems within their locker rooms. The ones I skipped over are those that have switched teams at least once now (Moss, Holmes, Marshall, Boldin). To be fair, Welker did witch teams, but that was before most anybody knew he was great,

There are still some young WRs that seem to take the mold of the old ones (Jackson, Crabtree), but that can change. If these guys see how the prima donnas are being treated as compared to those who aren't, they might adjust their begavior. Hopefully, at least.
