Randy Moss retires... REALLY???

Randy who?

Greatness wasted. When he wanted to play he was flat out one of the best ever. To many ups and downs in his career.

I still snap awake some nights visualizing how Moss crushed the Saints. His problem was always that he needed a qb who could make that long throw. I'm not sure Brady still could last season, the Vikes couldn't throw themselves on the ground, and the Titans were in such disarray that no one even noticed Moss was on the team.

I bet if properly situated, Moss could have 2 extremely productive seasons. He's still one of the fastest, tallest WR's. You can't play cover 2, and you absolutely must blitz to keep this guy contained. He's more problematic than Bush ever was.

I'm not advocating, I'm just saying. Moss still has Jerry Rice taunting him in his sleep. My bet is that he could be compliant. Throw 2 outs and 4 deep balls to him and he'd be happy.

If he were to be signed by the Saints, I think we could lose Arrington. No one really fears Devery, though they should. Because we can't protect Brees long enough to make a 30 yard throw, there's no incentive to keep a safety deep enough to matter, much less two. Arrington, while he may have upside, has one meaningless game under his belt in 2 years.

I feel that we need an upgrade in WR. Moss may not be the answer, but we need more speed and more height to make a serious SB run.

I believe our offense is fairly stout. Marshawn Lynch would call Gregg W. to remind him of our necessary options for defensive improvements.

Moss wouldn't make our 53 man roster.

If only it sticks AND if only Favre stays out too!!

I am having a hard time remembering exactly which player, that Moss threw under the bus, and for which team? I have seen him take plays off, yes, but I don't remember him pulling an Ocho, or a Owens, at any point in his career. Anyone wanna refresh my memory on this? In fact, other than his talk about a new contract, with new england last year, he's been pretty quiet the last few years.

Lance Moore can actually run routes in stead of just run deep.

exactly.

plus he makes the clutch catch for first down, when your QB only has 1.5 sec to release.

We already have Devery for the home-run plays.
