Then, he busted his ass and got bigger, faster and stronger in the off-season. His reward for this from the franchise, was it faith he could be the man? Nope, they went round 1 and took a guy to be a #1 WR. Since that pick, in the back of my head I've quietly questioned if that would impact Higgins negatively in his opinion of the team. I know if there was a promotion at work and I could move up to a better spot and worked hard to show I earned it and the company I worked for hired a guy from outside with a previous relationship with another guy in the department, I'd be a little annoyed. And let's face it, NFL players have egos.

I get what you're saying totally, and as a FSU homer, I was sick of watching Lawrence hit him deep...lol. When we snagged him, my sickness turned to joy. To be a little optimistic about it all Murdock, it could work out that the team wanted a guy like Chase to draw coverage away from Boyd and Tee and to hit the occasional homerun....like a Chris Henry. The difference there being they used a first rd pick. We'll just have to see how it all plays out. At least for two more years, it's a good problem to have.
