WaterMan Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Randy Moss Randall the Great is another player that bitched his way out of a situation he didn't like. When I heard the news I was stunned. Randy Moss goes to New England? The home of unselfish play, keeping your mouth shut, and giving it all you've got all the time, and winning. All foreign concepts to Randy Moss. Most of you probably know better than to draft Moss this season, but just in case you are climbing out on the ledge, I'm here to talk you down. Clear your head. Cleanse away the hype. Moss would be lucky to put up numbers closel to those Deion Branch had before the Patriots let him go. It is just the way the Patriots do things. There is no guarantee that Moss will have anything other than an average middle of the pack fantasy receiver season, and an average season is exactly what I expect. Yes, Moss has the best quarterback he will ever have throwing him the ball. But unless the Patriots give their game plan a facelift, I just don't see Moss fitting in. Unless Belichick is changing his philosophy of coaching, this move makes almost no sense at all. I look at it as a knee-jerk reaction to getting offensively spanked by the Colts in the playoffs last season. Belichick figures he needs some firepower for that one playoff game he knows he will have to win to get to the Super Bowl. And that is where Moss comes in. But I think there may be a false rush to judgment that the Pats are going feed Moss the ball on a consistent basis, and I just don't see it. Moss will have some big games when the situation warrants it, and he decides to show up. But his last big season was all the way back in 2003. Three years of mediocrity while his skills have eroded, his interest has waned, his weight has increased, and his speed has slowed. But suddenly this new address is suppose to cure all his ills? Going to a team that spreads the ball around like nobody's business? Hmmm. And even if Moss is a good soldier, finally grasps the concept of a team, and does have a rebound season, he still plays for a coach that makes fantasy players pull their hair out on a weekly basis with his injury report circus. And Moss will likely be overvalued in this years fantasy drafts. If you are a dynasty leaguer, and you are holding Moss, pray that he has a big game within the first three weeks of the season and then in the full glow of the hype, dump him like a cheating girlfriend. http://www.thehuddle.com/x7/articles/kr-07...10-to-avoid.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 McGahee was also on that list. Really, all it goes to show is that we're all in the same boat, guessing at who will do well and who won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how the biased writer's jealousy and hatred of Moss together make him forget the fact that Randy Moss is the best WR currently playing in the NFL.

I don' t know if he got "nine of them" right: I'd have taken: Chad Johnson in his career-best yardage season Fred Taylor, David Garrard, and the Jacksonville defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yep, and also the hatred of the topic creator, blinding them to the fact that the author missed more than just Randy Moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Swerski Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) That's just me being happy over someone taking a record away from Peyton Manning. Brady attempted 578 passes this season, while Peyton attempted only 497 back in '04. Brady went into Week 17 of this season with 48 TDs and played the entire game. Peyton went into Week 17 of 2004 with 49 TDs and was pulled after the first drive (two passing attempts). This was against the Broncos, who Peyton played two weeks later and went 27/33 for 457 yds and 4 TDs. Thanks for playing.

dabuffbills Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I in the presence of the all-mighty WaterMan. He knows more than all of the Huddle creators combined and can predict exactly how well players will perform in the upcoming season. I think we should give him his own blog on the main page since he can do such a better job. Oh...almost forgot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Swerski Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 As with Moss, who is in the record books? Not Peyton or Rice. Nobody cares that Moss has more TDs than Rice had in a strike-shortened season. And nobody who follows football thinks that Moss is better than Jerry Rice. And speaking of the record books, Brady is still about 15,000 yds and 100 TDs behind Peyton. Maybe he'll narrow the gap if Belichick continues to go for it on 4th and 10 with a 30-point lead in the 4th quarter for the next 4-5 years.
