Last I checked, this wasn't the 'post your opinions on Randy Moss' thread.

Last I checked the man pulled his hamstring. Let him do something before you kick em down. He may only catch 60 balls, but if that frees up Wes Welker, Donte Stallworth and Ben Watson who cares.
THe fact is Moss will stretch the field and if the Pats use him as a decoy all year long it wouldnt matter to Brady any.
Bottomline he will not be cut.

Which beings up the question of why this thread is even still open.
Right now it holds the same merit a thread title "Clinton Portis, to be cut or traded"
The merit here being zero.

First:He wasnt a signing, we traded for him get your facts straight.
Second: Even if he doesnt catch 60 balls he will be a great decoy and leave Stallworth and Watson and Welker man to man.
Third: The Cowboys will have a top 20 pick. Mark my words.

MOSS RUMORS DON'T DIE
We are hearing more -- not less -- of those rumors that the Patriots might pull the plug prematurely on the Randy Moss experiment.
The talk is intensifying in the media, and among league insiders. One league source tells us that Moss is "bitching quietly" about his perceived role in the offense. A media source says that "where there's smoke there's fire" on this story.
Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald mentions the rumors, and reports that Tim DiPiero, who represents Moss, had not heard of any potential issues with the former Pro Bowler whose arrival in New England has helped to push expectations higher than ever.
http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/football/patriots/view.bg?articleid=1028856#articleFull
Though Moss was not released on Saturday, the team could still dump him prior to next weekend and avoid responsibility for his $2.5 million salary. As we mentioned on Saturday night, the Pats currently have six receivers on the roster -- Moss, Donte' Stallworth, Wes Welker, Jabar Gaffney, Reche Caldwell, and Kelley Washington. (Troy Brown and Chad Jackson are on the PUP list.)
Notably absent are any youngsters who would try to earn reps with the offense in the future through heavy involvement in special teams. As the roster is currently configured, guys like Gaffney and Caldwell (both starters in 2006) and Washington would be used for punt/kick coverage/return teams.
Could it be that the Pats will try to shop Moss to someone like the Packers or the Vikings before cutting him? Though Minnesota coach and former Eagles offensive coordinator Brad Childress surely has no interest in acquiring another potential T.O., owner Zygi Wilf might conclude that a return by Randy could be the way to sell out all of the seats for 2007. |

If PFT is the only source, then I don't understand why it is creating a buzz. If ESPN or Yahoo reports it, then I'll believe it.
PFT: "Charles Bentley to Eagles a done deal"
PFT" "Pete Carroll confirmed to be Chargers new head coach"

Is Moss the most overhyped off season deal? Of course he is. Randy is older and injury plagued now he will not be a 16 td guy again in this league.
That being said their is a solid contribution that he can make to the Patriots team. He will not put up pro-bowl numbers in an offense that spreads the ball around. He will however create opportunitys for other players and make the occasional play.
Moss is a walking attitude problem. BB, however, cancels this out.
Randy is not the perfect WR for the Pats. The pats favor a quick drop, quick pass offense. Moss is that deep threat that thrives on the 7 step drop.
Welker will make more of an impact then Moss this season but Moss is very unlikely to go anywhere until 2008.

I'm so sick of hearing this.
138 Career Games
132 Played
95.6% of his games, hes been in there.
Doesn't seem to injury prone to me. He is older, so there are more chances for injury, but to just write him off and SAY that he's injury prone, i think is a little silly.
