His career began by getting drafted in the 12th round by Tampa bay in 1992 (the early 90s Bucs were terrible), and got waived by them. Got picked up by San Fran that same season....and got to play in 3 straight NFC title games, which culminated with a Super Bowl victory in that 3rd season.

+1. I know I'm a LM homer but this guy seems to always know how to make a clutch catch or keep the chains moving. Although we struggled at times on offense, he definitely didn't have the UHaul packed in 2012.

Give em hell Lance!

Miss debbie is a class act person for raising an awesome football player and person.. And your right i'm kissing but.:

Every WR at some point drops passes they should have caught, lance has got a much better track record of not dropping passes than a lot of our WR's

Namely jimmy graham

What is a high drop rate to you? Lance's # is less than 7.

NFL Leaders - Football - NBC Sports

Less than 6
NFL Leaders - Football - NBC Sports

5 drops out of 104 targets

2011 - 15th best hands in the league

Gets cut by Cleveland.... hauls in a Superbowl ring in New Orleans. Sounds like a success story to me!

I not saying anything about rankings or stats. Its just the drops when they count. Droped balls on a game winning. Or the very least is a 3rd and 5 or 6 and need that first down or its over and it touched ur hands or you caught a million like it and did't game over or drive killer momentum shift. Just plain cridical drop. Could be the reason lance don't get the espn headliner if thats whats the thread is all about. Look i love me some lance too. Its just not lance also. Grahm. Colston. Just because they keep colston out of the Pro bowl don't mean hes not an elite reciever to me.

He is a go to for Brees and has always been appreciated here in N.O.

The only drop that Lance made that will stick with me is the one that ended Drew's TD streak and it was against the clowns of all teams. His best catch to me is the one in the endzone against the Ravens a few years ago. That showed some serious eye hand coordination there.

Very classy lady. Loomis frequently speaks about the Saints selecting athletes with character. Well, in Lance's case we now know where it comes from.

I bet that Koby would trade a few of his championship rings to have a mom like Mrs. Moore.

If your going to say Drew doesn't go to him because of drops then that is a stat, and when it comes down to it with the game on the line Lance is my go to guy above the rest.

Lance Moore is the most clutch receiver we have. There is a reason that Drew goes to lance in all of those situations, it isn't because he drops.

lance does not get ESPN headliners for the same reasons the rest of our WR and RBs don't. We spread the ball, and they wear a Saints Jersey.
