I was more so referring to your "being jacked in the head" comment with Moss. Hall of Famer or not, still willing to gamble.

He may have been a head case earlier in his younger years, but at this stage in his career/life, that's debatable. That said, I don't have issues with the Saints willingness to give guys with character issues second chances... as long as the risk factors aren't outlandish. 5-20 years, that kind of fits the bill. Now if that weren't the case, I would definitely kick the tires on his talent if the price was right.. I think he fits Spags' system perfectly minus the baggage.

Giving second chances is great, of course they can backfire, but occasionally you get a very happy ending like with what happened with Hargrove.
