Unhooking the dinghy from the Dock

There’s some unwritten code among football scribes that we spend most of late June and July on vacation recharging and freshening our batteries.

It’s an interesting debate: Which of those two wide receivers would you want? Are you guys convinced the current collection of wide receivers can get it done or do you believe they still have to go out and get a No. 1 wide receiver?
