Ok, so let me get this straight, you'd rather have a guy with #2 receiver potential as opposed to somebody that could become a true #1 WR Tell me this, would you consider Issac Bruce and Torry Holt in their primes as #1 receivers, and if you answer yes, why wouldn't you like to have 2 #1 quality WR's as opposed to a #1 and #2? I would love to have a tandem like Bruce and Holt (before Bruce lost a step) or Boldin and Fitzgerald. The fact is I would want to have 2 go to guys as opposed to one that the defense would have to gameplan for.
Now, when the Bills had Lofton and Reed, opposing defenses had to gameplan for both of them with someone keeping an eye on McKeller/ Metz as well as Thurman. I would want to have 4 or 5 playmakers at the skill positions instead of just the 2 that we have at the moment.
