I remember Denarius Moore had a pretty spectacular run with the raiders a few years ago.
Made some crazy catches.

Right now, though, he'd be a welcome addition. James Jones is still the same guy he's always been... With maybe 4.7 speed instead of the 4.6 he had earlier on in his career. A guy with decent body control, but someone who shouldn't be the leading receiver on any team.
Cobb's a good football player, but not a pure wide receiver in the traditional sense. I love what he can do when you have a guy like Nelson pulling coverage away from him, albeit it down deep, on the other side or next to him in the slot.
Adams has all the potential in the world, but I don't quite know what's wrong with him lately. I remember one of his strongest points being his catching of the ball. Not a guy with amazing measurables, but a good football player. I don't know what happened, but he looked a lot more promising last year than this year. Again, Jordy going down hasn't helped him either, but his play hasn't improved one bit.
Not that Denarius Moore is going to fix that fully. I think we'll just have to accept that the passing game isn't going to be as impressive as in years past this year. It's obvious that adding a potential 3th string WR after eleven games isn't going to change everything. What having a guy like Moore could fix is getting that one TD by just throwing it up or maybe allowing the offense to get a little more creative with vertical and underneath routes.
