View topic - Joey Galloway to visit Steelers

I wouldn't complain if Galloway could contribute in the capacity of a possession receiver. The fact is that Sweed is an unknown as of right now. We have Martin Nance in the wings and maybe a draft pick, but if Holmes or Ward goes down, we're in trouble. Adding a slightly over-the-hill veteran receiver wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Galloway never was and never will be a "possession WR." He is a pure deep threat, and that won't change even though he will be 38 by next season. See James Loften. Those guys don't turn into possession WRs just because they get old. Galloway won't turn into Hines Ward. Either he gets deep or his career is over.

Just because we could use depth at WR does _____NOT_____ mean that depth should come in the form of a player who had 13 catches last year and turns 38 next season.

My GOD some of you need to splash some cold water on your faces.

They should be looking at players such as Ronald Curry, Drew Bennett or Reggie Williams. You know, guys who aren't in their late 30s.

This is an exercise in trying to trick the fans into thinking they aren't being lax in free agency, but they are.

If you're looking for a good 3rd option possesion type receiver Bennett would be a viable option. He could also bring back the WR pass as he was a college QB. He has good size as well.

He's not a good #1 WR. But I think he could be a hellofa #3. He has size and can get down field and can _________________________catch__________________________
