Will the real Wr #1 in Tampa Bay please stand up? (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Pink]

Based on the last two seasons, and the emergence of a talented Chris Simms, it seems clear that the WR #1 in Tampa Bay has tremendous value. Let's take a look back:

2004

Player No Yds Avg Long TD

Michael Clayton 80 1193 14.9 75 7

Joey Galloway 33 416 12.6 36 5

2005

Player No Yds Avg Long TD

Joey Galloway 83 1287 15.5 80 10

Michael Clayton 32 372 11.6 41 0

Over the last two season, one WR has emerged and produced top ten numbers while the other dealt with, and for the most part, played through some sort of ailment throughout the season. In each case, the two still finished as WRs #1 & 2, which begs the question: If both are healthy, which of these two is more likely to seperate himself from the other, and if such a seperation occurs, could that one produce 1,200 yds and 7-10 TDs?

Secondarily, is there room in this offense for two WRs to produce 1,000+ yard seasons?

I think it is possible for 1100 - 1200 and 9-10 TD's if one or the other gets hurt and the other one is healthy. I don't think there is room for two 1,000 yard receivers based on what we know, MAYBE if Cadillac is hurt and they fall behind in games.

I think the outlook for both of them barring injury is:

900 - 1000 for Galloway with 7-8 TDs

800 - 900 for Clayton with 5-7 TDs

It's one of those situations where it's hard to predict IMO. Simms is coming along nicely. I've heard it said that Simms and Galloway are very good friends on and off the field and that means good things for Galloway. I don't know how much friendship wieghs into it or if that even means Galloway gets looked to more.
