Default Moss trade GENIUS no matter how it works out

No matter how this ends up, getting the potential of what Moss could be here for a 4th rounder is genius.
Moss MUST come in, shut up, and play hard. If he does, it was the steal of the decade, if he does not, we lose a 4th.

The potential for this offense is scary. Moss and Stallworth will open up the deep and intermediate game like we have never seen here. What you may not get with them, (the Branch/Brown underneath routes with rac) comes from Welker, Caldwell, Gaffney, Jackson, and/or Washington.
Oh, and what does this open up for the freakish receiving ability of Ben Watson?

The threats of receivers probably does more for Maroney in the running game than upgrading the OL would have.
The potential of this offense is the scariest I've seen in Pats history.

I would only add "in a draft where BB/Pioli clearly don't like the talent available."

I'm pumped & jacked for what this O might be able to do to defenses next season; it not only stretched the field, but it also opens up "the box" and the potential for Maroney to use his speed to go 40+ yards.

I hate Moss and I can't find fault with this deal.

Never thought it would happen. If he comes in, becomes a team player, and plays to his ability, this is a steal. He should do that for one year anyway to win a ring.

I think the player who could benefit the most is David Thomas. The guy is a perfect underneath WR. Too bad he is injured right now because he could really have a great year as our number 2 TE. I think he works hard enough to beat out Kyle Brady, though his lack of size is an issue as far as blocking TEs go.

He might be Corey Dillon II. I remember watching one of the college allstar games in January, and they interviewed him in the box. I remember thinking, wow, this guy acts more mature than I thought he would be. His comments were all about wishing he had a chance to go to a winning team, his ultimate goal is to win a championship before he retires. I started watching and listening to the interview wanting to turn off the sound, and finished listening and being very impressed. BTW, Andre Ware was one of the guys in the booth, and he looks to be a bright star as a commentator for the future.

I am not a Moss lover, but with all the big time leaders here, and our penchant for winning a lot his ego will be neutralized and I suspect he just wants to get along for a ring... This O is incredible, we are giving a lot of D coordinators headaches right now.
