My best old guy's not on the list. Jimmy Smith will outperform them all.

Galloway and Harrison are costing...These other old guys are value guys

Isn't McCardell the only WR threat in SD too?

Did you know something the rest of us didn't?
I'm voting "Not Jimmy Smith".I like Toomer.

First instict was Rod Smith, I went with Muhammad. Griese/Grossman should do much better getting him the ball than Kyle Orton and there's no Javon Walker to steal any thunder. I'd lump them together and couldn't complain either way if they were my 3rd WR.

Doesn't CHI have another QB?

I voted Kennison, but thinking about it, would rather change my vote to Moose.
Consider: Muhammed's catch% from the last 5 seasons- 54%, 58%, 54%, 58%, 47%. One of these things is different. One of these things doesn't belong.
With Orton out of the picture (because man, he was TERRIBLE), I expect a nice rebound from Moose. Fewer question marks (in my mind) than his two biggest competitors, Rod Smith (Javon Walker) and Eddie Kennison (Herm Edwards).

06 Derrick Mason = 05 Joey Galloway

06 Derrick Mason = 31 years old. I'd hardly say that qualifies for mention on the "Old guy" list with 36 year old Rod Smith and 36 year old Keenan McCardell.Of course, I also happen to believe that describing 33 year old Muhsin Muhammed and Eddie Kennison as "old guy WRs" is a stretch, since they're the same age as Terrell Owens, and a full year younger than Marvin Harrison and Isaac Bruce. And 32 year old Amani Toomer definitely doesn't belong.
Edit: Now that you mention it, though... Joey Galloway (35) definitely deserves mention.

Not to hijack, I see there is a correlation between the best old guy and steroids, no?

I'm surprised it was this close.
- J.Walker coming off a major injury and learning a new offense while building a rapoire with a new QB.
- A.Lelie AWOL.
- Adams has skill but I'm not sure he's ready.
- Terrell has skill but I'm not sure he'll ever be ready.
- Watts has skills but catching isn't one of them.
- Marshall is a rookie WR in the NFL.
How could anyone go with anyone other than Smith????????? Are people worried he'll be double covered all season? Maybe, but considering the amount of targets he should get he's still going to have a good year.

I do too -- but enough to pass Smith/Kennison/McCardell?For what it's worth, here's how they finished last year:
16. Rod Smith
17. Keenan McCardell
18. Eddie Kennison
33. Amani Toomer
37. Muhsin Muhammad
I see Smith, McCardell, and Kennison all dropping off a bit this year, and Muhammad rebounding. But likely not enough to cross paths in the rankings. The Bears' passing offense just doesn't match up with the AFC West teams. (I know some people are worried about Rivers, but I'm not at all.)

Why no mention of Marvin Harrison? He will be 34 in August.

After all, the thread is asking about old guys.

I see McCardell falling through the floor. Call it the "Phillip Rivers Experience". I also see Rod Smith dropping. Not through the floor, but to WR24-30 range. I'm not that concerned about his targets dropping, but I am *very* concerned about his RED ZONE targets dropping. He's currently option 1, 2, and 3 in the red zone (and Kyle Johnson is option 4). I see Walker stealing a lot of his TDs, and without the TDs, Rod Smith's not top20. I see Kennison dropping a little bit because of Herm Edwards and because last year was a career year for him, but not a whole ton (I haven't done any "hard" rankings yet, but my gut says a couple of slots ahead of Smith). I certainly think that, with a viable QB, Muhammed will be able to rebound and pass those two. Not by a ton, but by a little bit.
