I am saying that finding a guy to play opposite of Andre Johnson is a lot easier than finding the next Andre Johnson.

Very true. That is why if the Ravens had remained in the game and the bidding on KW had gone much higher, I would have been ok with seeing him walk. He is not so good that I would overspend on him. But he is not so interchangeable or such a "system" guy that I think it would be easy to replace him.
