If that's what you want, get it, but don't expect unreasonable things. |

Moss is a human being. He's been through the ringer for the last 3-4 years because of his antics. The last full season anyone saw this guy play, he set & still holds the NFL records. There is not an NFL CB that can cover this guy when he's giving effort. I think this is an oppurtunity for Moss to get redemption for his past. I say go with it if he's cheap. I think he wants to change his appearance in the public eye & show what caliber of an athlete he still is. Besides......do you really think Meachem or Devery are even in the same hemisphere of Moss? If you do, you are kidding yourself. Mr. Loomis, get Brees this weapon.....even if only for one year.

My gut says the 2012 version of Moss is a shadow of his former self. Just because he was great 3 or 4 years ago doesn't mean he still is now. If he's still what we saw in 2010, then YES, Meachem and Henderson are definitely better options than Randy Moss, no doubt about it. |

That said, Randy Moss on his worst day is still a better WR than Meachem or Devery on their best days. That's fact.....even at 35! That said......he's cheap, has excellent hands, is 6'4", & is fast. Oh yeah.....he's also one of the best WR's of all time. Why not take a shot at him? If he shows signs of "prima donna" behavior, you simply cut him.....end of story. It's not like you broke the bank for him.
Also.....I know people will probably break out the pitchforks on this, but he also doesn't drop catchable balls, like Colston. I love Colston, but truth is truth. Look at it this way.......Marques Colston for $8-9 million/yr. or Randy Moss for $1 million/ year. Uhmmm.......I'll take Randy & use the leftover money on defense where we really need it. |

People can hate the guy all they want, but the fact remains......Randy Moss is one of the most prolific WR's of all time. Take that into account, the fact that he is so hungry for a ring, & the fact that he physically "still has it." You may disagree for personal reasons or whatever, but there is no doubt that Moss is a better player than Meachem or Henderson on any given day. P.S. - Randy's worst season is on par with either Devery or Meachem's career averages. |
