Big hypothetical talk

[the butch]

A lot more goes into a trade than good player for good player. One of them, depth, you mentioned, but there are a poo ton of ither variables: contracts, draft board, cap space, team needs, and team-building strategy. That's why player for player trades are so rare in the nfl.

Has it ever dawned on anybody that the reason we won't make a move like this is because we finally have a quarterback who can elevate the play of his receivers and doesn't need two pro bowl caliber receivers out wide?

We also have a GM who is light years ahead of anything we've ever had in that position and our fan base.  That GM has:

-Fixed the o-line (which in doing so; protects the face of the franchise and allows him time to spread the ball around and make his receivers better)

-Built a top flight defense which provides short fields for our offense and limits opposing teams scoring opportunities.  

-Drafted two big targets at receiver the last two years (one of who had a dominant rookie year and the other who is going through the normal progression of being a rookie receiver in the NFL).  If you don't believe in the "normal progression" of a rookie receiver, take a look around at the rest of the receiver draft class from this year (sans Amari Cooper) and see how they are performing.
