I think this will be a good pick up... as long long as he leaves the diva at the door. And if the money is right.

That's like saying buying a 250 year-old French Quarter townhome is a good buy so long as it has no structural problems and you can pay less than $250,000 for it.

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

You have a point, I need to try a little more of that before I go postal.

'Goos-fraba' seems to have a calming affect and has been working for me lately,

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.

Well I think the question here is "is this that Randy Moss?"

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.

"4.39 to 4.42 forty time", "ran precise routes", "caught everything thrown his way", "looked physically in great shape", "wowed everyone there". Now.....I'd say that sounds like the old Randy. 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.

I honestly could not disagree more with this statement.

You and I frequently agree, but we are polar opposites on this one my friend.
