We won't know till the whistle blows. As for Decker he would have been a great asset for the next QB but with his price it would have hurt the team more then helped. We drafted a WR at the right time to learn the system before Welker's contract is up
I agree, Decker's price was too high to keep. But that is a different issue. I'm excited for Lattimer.
As far as Moreno... I'll disagree. I don't think he did everything well. He didn't break tackles, he didn't hit holes with authority, and he CERTAINLY didn't have good speed. I also have to disagree that Ball has stone hands. We'll see on how much he's improved on blocking, but it didn't keep the offense from keeping him off the field the last 3rd of the season. So I can't imagine him getting worse. To me, it shows that the coaches and GM are pretty confident that Ball is the guy considering how cheap RBs were in the FA market.
