Lance Moore has best hands in NFC South

Didn't he catch on with the practice squad? Seems to me he was back and forth for a couple of years. We are really going to miss Curtis Johnson.

Yeah, from what I remember he was only starting sometimes because of injuries, in 2007, but then in 2008 we got lucky and had so many injuries that Lance Moore became our #1 receiver . I don't even think the coaching staff knew just how good he ready was. It was complete accident that he got to shine helping Brees put up almost 5000 yards .
After that season Brees was in love with him, and SP started to take him seriously. Moore not being at the GB game was one of the major reason we lost. That plus smith and porter out.
Still I shuttered every year I say him on FA. If failclowns,Bucs, or kitties would have signed him they would have been brilliant.

Dont forget it was Moore that dropped the pass that would have given Brees the receiving record in 2008.

Yeah, I'd bet he's still holding a grudge.

I worry about that too. At least all of our guys have been coached by him for quite a while so they don't need development as much as tweaking.

I'm hoping his replacement fits the bill.
