No, I'd been burned enough by him over the course of 3 seasons to care by then.
As to Mecca's "point", he did have more catches than Urban last year, sure. But he started 7 games to Urban's 2. He's started 19 games in his career and only averages 46 yds/game. Bry Johnson plays like Jane when he gets a starting opportunity. Not that I'm saying Urban is the 2nd coming of Ed McCafferty, but he's had 4 starts for AZ and averages 65 yds/game. He's had ample opportunity to show whether he's a #2 receiver in pass-friendly offenses and failed miserably.
Why didn't he sign in KC, other than the fact he's mediocre at best and we weren't interested? Which situation is he more likely to chose: KC , where he'd be the 3rd option (at best) in a terrible passing offense with an unsettled QB situation, or SF, with a Martz-led O, a highly drafted QB, and no slam dunk options ahead of him?
