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. ![]() |

That remains to be seen, but according to everyone who was at his Saints tryout........it's looking like "is" is the term to be used. Regardless......like I said before, Moss's worst seasons are on par with Meachem & Henderson's career average.

Meachem and Henderson have never been labeled team killers or quitters either.

Ask yourself.....of the 3 bad seasons Moss had, who were his QB's? Daunte Culpepper, Aaron Brooks, Tarvaris Jackson, & Vince Young. Hell.....I wouldn't want to play either! What did he do when he had a good QB? Class act..... Ask Brady & Warren Moon. Both have nothing but good to say about Moss & his efort. Bellichick, who holds no punches, even said he was a model player with the Patriots. Okay.....he said something bad about the food. You ever eat food in New England. Stuff is bland & Randy's a southern boy. C'mon! ![]()

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. |

@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." |
