He's an ******* and a lunatic, but 9 people from the 1970s Raiders also happen to be in the HoF. |

There's only 7 wide receivers in the HOF who started their careers after 1970. Only two were first ballot Largent and Rice.
Irvin got rejected once, Tim Brown and Andre Reed also have been rejected. Moss is not first ballot. I don't care what his stats say. WR's aren't respected by voters for the HOF. Fact. |

If you really believe Moss is not 1st ballot material, you're fooling yourself or you don't know football! Even Michael Irvin himself said Moss should be a 1st ballot Hall of Famer & that compared to Rice & himself who always had great QB's......Moss played for average QB's at best most of his career. Stop hating on the guy!!!

You make a very compelling argument for signing Moss and I just wanted to point out post #68 or so in this thread where BGWhoDat put into question the "4.39 to 4.42 forty time". That to me signaled the Randy Moss debate had, or will soon be, a media circus. The "facts" are flying and who knows what's true or not. You can see where BGWhoDat quoted sources both stating and then not confirming a Randy Moss signing. But, I think in light of everything that's gone on lately, I say the Saints embrace the 'bad-boy' image and sign him. Embracing that image did wonders for the Detroit Pistons of the '80s and led to multiple championships. Give Moss a second chance to prove himself as long as you can cut him loose should he revert to his old ways. Make the gamble worth the risk by signing him cheap. For better or worse, I'm now officially on board the Randy Moss bandwagon. IDK if it means I love controversy and/or I am an excitement junkie, but I do know there probably won't be a dull moment, good or bad. |

A lot of his issues the past couple seasons with half assing routes, his character problems and such, will hurt him. Moss is a second ballot WR in my due to the fact of the issues I've stated and there only being two first ballot WR's since 1970. The odds aren't in his favor. In no way did I say his numbers weren't impressive or first ballot worthy, nor did I say he wasn't credible. I'm aware of the QBs he has played with. There's no need to say I'm fooling myself or don't know football. Relax buddy. |

@SloMotion
I'm glad you read that. I was very disappointed to see so many signals crossed. I know NBC Sports later said the he didn't run the 40 either. I'm not sure where SportsNOLA got their information. I know Moss claimed when he made the statement he wanted to play football again that he could run that and recently clocked at it. Maybe that's where. I was displeased to say the least with my Editor making a false claim that the Saints were going to make him an offer. I never make claims in my articles or posts unless I can confirm them with a few legit sources. I never rely on one persons/websites claim. I'm sure you can understand my position when I have to correct people due to them reading something someone who is "higher in position" than me wrote with absolutely no credible source to say such a claim. It would have been different had he have said "should offer" or "could offer" instead of "will." |
