When you add Green, who has been an exemplary East Division and CFL All-Star player, there is some reason to be hopeful.
If these players have a modicum of their previously demonstrated talent, we might have a reasonable receiving crew. One player who impressed in the 4 games he played last year, was Posey. He has size (6' 2"/210) and speed (4.39). He ran sharp disciplined routes and appeared to have good hands. If he has kept in shape and is motivated, he could be an asset to the team this year.
I just hope that people do not put too much pressure on S.J Green. He is clearly the veteran of that group and it isn't much different from the circumstances that Jeremaine Copeland found himself in when he was acquired by the Argos in 2010. Now, Ricky Ray is a way better QB than Cleo Lemon, but I do recall Jeremaine Copeland receiving some criticism (from Foley's brother mind you) about his lack of production. You'd also recall that not only was the Argo QB situation unstable at the time, but the receiver depth wasn't great either.
