I think if the Vikes dont't bet Williams or Edwards Burley will be the NO. 1 WR. What you guys think?

I think he could do it.....he produced big #'s when moss was hurt last year. I think he can do it agian........Plus even though Travis Taylor has put up sub par numbers with the Ravens he WAS a 10th overall pick and he never had a QB like Daunte Diesel throwing to him so he could step up and be a #1 guy too.

He can be...in my mind. I mean with the Randy Ratio(1/5 of the balls thrown his way was it?) we are gonna see alot of people rising up, given the chance now that is

people are probably going to kill me for saying this...

but in my opinion there are only a few maybe 5-6 total #1 recievers in the league (moss, t.o., harrison, holt, etc.) these are players that you have to double team and account for on every play whether its a run or pass you better know where they are...

besides them i look at it as whether they are a player thats able to start and be productive or not. and, in the case of burleson he can start and he will be productive. so he will be a very good starting reciever. and if you can pair him with another very good starting reciever then that makes him more dangerous and vice-versa...

look at the patriots last year they had 5 very good starting recievers and thats what made them so dangerous...

i'd rather have that (5starters) than one #1 reciever...

so with that said burleson: solid starter, robinson: solid starter, taylor: solid starter. its starting to look good get me one more, maybe steal one of the patriots troy brown) and campell at the fifth and we'll have a very good all-round corps...thats my dream.
