Joe Horn wants to be a Falcon ...

I could name a list of guys who could do what Joe Horn did ON THIS TEAM.

I took ON THIS TEAM to mean you were talking about guys ON THIS TEAM...

Whodi, you can make totally unsubstantiated comments about what other guys might do on this team all you want. My counter argument is simple and strong.

In 2004, Joe Horn was 2nd in the league in receiving. He did that with the 27th ranked rushing attack. The 32nd tanked defense. A QB ranked in the middle to bottom part of the league in many stats who had a bad year, and TEs and WRs that offered no other real threat. In 2004, the key to stopping the Saints offense was easy - stop Joe Horn. No one else produced at a high level. Teams knew who to key on. No one could stop him.

If all these other guys you listed could put up 90 receptions, 1300 yards, and 11 TDs on a team with the 27th ranked rushing attack, 20+ ranked QB, no other WR in the top 50, a 20+ ranked TE, and the worst defense in the league, why can\'t they do it on their teams?
