Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

I wanted to share this message I received from Lance Moore's mother who is a registered member here at BlackandGold.com. Thought everyone would enjoy reading this.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Welcome to B&G Mrs. Moore!

We wish more mothers would visit.. Mothers provide insight that Scouts just can not discover watching tape.

Feel free to give "that look" to any members that need it. I still get "that look" from my mother and I am 42 :-).

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

No wonder Lance is a standout player and an individual of impeccable character. His mom sounds like a loving and devoted parent. She has reared an outstanding young man and that's even more important than being an outstanding athlete. Although, the fact that the Saints have benefitted from his athleticism is pretty great, too!

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Love the guy and I agree he's a bit under-rated, but he disappears at times.

I think he's one of those cat-quick match-up guys. If he up against one of those taller CB's who can't cut on a dime, he has the advantage. Up against a CB who can also cut on a dime, maybe not so much.

But I'm nitpicking.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

And she right ! I want more Moore.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

See that handbag Danno? Keep nitpicking... You'll get it flung at ya. :p

LOL @ cut by Cleveland.......Mom, that was divine intervention....you should be thanking Cleveland every day for that haha. And cut on his birthday? Yeah, that was a birthday present !

The story kinda reminded me of one of our former punters...Klaus Wilsmyer. His career began by getting drafted in the 12th round by Tampa bay in 1992 (the early 90s Bucs were terrible), and got waived by them. Got picked up by San Fran that same season....and got to play in 3 straight NFC title games, which culminated with a Super Bowl victory in that 3rd season.

My favorite Saint by far

Won me over with that 2 point conversion in the SB, hence the avatar. To me that was the epitome of 110% I-will-not-be-denied type moments that make sports so fun to watch

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Don't totally agree with u danno but lance dropping more than his fair share of passes is what keeps him from getting the big time attention he really deserves. He just sometimes loses his concentration on the easiest catches then makes these all world acrobatic imposible throws to him. But i see your point. Miss debbie is a class act person for raising an awesome football player and person.. And your right i'm kissing but.:google::

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Super Bowl cacth was the best LANCE MOORE !

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

+1. I know I'm a LM homer but this guy seems to always know how to make a clutch catch or keep the chains moving. Although we struggled at times on offense, he definitely didn't have the UHaul packed in 2012.

Give em hell Lance!

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Every WR at some point drops passes they should have caught, lance has got a much better track record of not dropping passes than a lot of our WR's

Namely jimmy graham

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

What is a high drop rate to you? Lance's # is less than 7.

NFL Leaders - Football - NBC Sports

Less than 6

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

lance has always been a fav around here.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Gets cut by Cleveland.... hauls in a Superbowl ring in New Orleans. Sounds like a success story to me!

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

I not saying anything about rankings or stats. Its just the drops when they count. Droped balls on a game winning. Or the very least is a 3rd and 5 or 6 and need that first down or its over and it touched ur hands or you caught a million like it and did't game over or drive killer momentum shift. Just plain cridical drop. Could be the reason lance don't get the espn headliner if thats whats the thread is all about. Look i love me some lance too. Its just not lance also. Grahm. Colston. Just because they keep colston out of the Pro bowl don't mean hes not an elite reciever to me.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

He is a go to for Brees and has always been appreciated here in N.O.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

The only drop that Lance made that will stick with me is the one that ended Drew's TD streak and it was against the clowns of all teams. His best catch to me is the one in the endzone against the Ravens a few years ago. That showed some serious eye hand coordination there.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Very classy lady. Loomis frequently speaks about the Saints selecting athletes with character. Well, in Lance's case we now know where it comes from.

I bet that Koby would trade a few of his championship rings to have a mom like Mrs. Moore.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

If your going to say Drew doesn't go to him because of drops then that is a stat, and when it comes down to it with the game on the line Lance is my go to guy above the rest.

Lance Moore is the most clutch receiver we have. There is a reason that Drew goes to lance in all of those situations, it isn't because he drops.

lance does not get ESPN headliners for the same reasons the rest of our WR and RBs don't. We spread the ball, and they wear a Saints Jersey.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

wait, wait wait. i never said or came close to saying drew won't go to him, we were talking bout drops gees

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

The way Drew played that game, he deserved to have the TD streak end. Worst game I have seen brees play since the browns game of 2010

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

And who cares about a TD streak when your losing.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Nobody is perfect.......if we were we wouldn't need referees. :yinyang:
He works hard!

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

If only he would have a break out season!! lol

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

What's with all this Lance Moore's mom schmoozing on here? You guys are pathetic. I could give a list of negative things to say about Lance. First of all.....well....ummmmm...hold on, give me a minute....I'll think of something....Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm. Ah, screw it. I got nothin'. The guy is clutch and I'm glad he was one of Sean Payton's diamonds in the rough.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

WHAT A GREAT LADY! ... and so that's why the Browns suck, :rofl:. Oh man, get her a Chunky Soup commercial with her boys!

I remember that Toledo victory over University of Michigan where Nick caught 20 passes, ouch! But it was the beginning of the end for H/C Rich Rod, so for that, I'll be eternally grateful, :mrgreen:.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

I forgot he got cut by Cleveland. I'll have to remember that when I talk to my Browns fan neighbor. Lance is the man.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Wait, someone in your neighborhood cheers for the Brown? Seriously?
I thought Browns fans went extinct just after the second to last #1 draft pick they wasted on a worthless QB.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Welcome.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

He has fans in my household for sure

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Mention Lance Moore within earshot of my girlfriend and she gets..... Well, let's just say, she gets verklempt......

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Lance Moore's mother sent me this PM in reponse to an article about Lance being an under rated receiver. I have a lot of respect for him and how hard he has worked so I said clearly that "I love me Some Lance Moore." Which I have said often since he came off the practice squad and I'm gonna' say it for a long time.

I was impressed with how well spoken she was and you could feel a mothers love.
She is obviously a classy lady who raised a humble man that had to earn it his whole life by hard work on and off the field.
Ask Coach Payton..........he'll say give it to Lance Moore.:bng:

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

"That's what she said..."

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

You do realize the drop happened in the 3rd quarter which would have made the score 17-14 and with the other FG we scored in the 3rd the game would have been tied heading into the 4th. But it's all history now and I do believe Lance is our best receiver, I'm just saying that particular drop stays in my memory. Lance is the best route runner we have.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Moore has the fewest drops of any of our receivers. Not even close.
He makes adjustments on the ball, he can create seperation, he's great after the catch...
He's the best we've got. Colston has more catches/yards but Moore has the beter skill-set.
Payton/Brees wide distribution of the ball will keep most guys from getting the recognition
they might deserve. As long as we keep winning, oh well...

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

And just exactly what does that mean?

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

IDK, but I'm kinda' wondering if I shouldn't just buy a case or two of those books & distribute them around Detroit, :lol:.

Re: Lance Moore's Mom says he's 'Underrated'
 

Well, that goes to show how much I know. I thought Lance has been with us from the start. As far as I am still concerned; he has.

I'm glad we have him. And thanks for posting this Rugby. She talks about Lance they way I talk about my oldest daughter. Who by the way just won her 4th MS Class 4A State Championship in fastpitch softball this past weekend!
