Moore is probably Brees favorite target but he's too smart to say it; neither would it be PO-correct to say it. Moore gets the best separation and can get open more effectively than the rest and will make the necessary adjustment to make the catch.
Year after year I've watched them string Lance Moore along: after he lead the team when Colston was out, after the camp torn bicept the SB season, and now a solid #2 without playing every down. He even helped with special teams when Roby went down - much more dependable back there than Reggie. If he ends up unrestricted, we may have to watch him walk. I, for one, would be very disappointed if that happens. If he's still restricted with a 2nd round tender, we need to work a 4 year deal and give him his money...He's earned it. I dread the possibility of us scratching our heads mid-season trying to figure out why certain things aren't working in the offense anymoore. Lance is special in moore ways than one. The front office needs to make this one happen.

Couldn't have worded it better if I tried.

He has earned his contract, Period. Every other reciever has had some type issue dropping balls except Lance. I went to the scrimmage just before the start of training camp here in Houston before the 09 season. You woulda thought Brees and Lance were 10 and 11 in age because team practice ends, then organized scrimmage ends. Then Drew and Lance still out there working. It's no way they don't get a big time deal done. Certain people can be replaced and then certain people you just have to admit that they are not easily replaceable.
