Remember, we didn't have Berrian, Currie, and Bradley for huge chunks
of the season. So yes, bona fide results are needed but we essentially
have two higher level draftee WRs who happen to know our offense
already and have (are) practicing with the team, and Berrian who
played well when he returned.

I'm still not letting JA off the hook entirely, he should've grabbed a
TE, but not adding a WR isn't as troublesome to me (even though he had
a shot at Chad Jackson).

What he really should have done is grabbed an experienced FA WR to
compete with the young guys. There is still time to do this so we'll
see what happens.
