Default Does Moss Really Matter?

I for one am giddy waiting to see Moss catch a bomb from Brady. So dont get me wrong. But even if Moss were to be cut (from the rumors) or injured do you really think it matters?

Last years WR lineup in the first few games:
Cauldwell, T Brown, Gabriel, Gaff., CJ

This year W/O Moss:
Stalworth, Welker, Gaff, Washington

Brady is stacked any way you look at it.

Moss is special. Yeah, the rest of the receivers are good, but Moss is a superstar.

I think we need Moss to get to the SB imo. He will open up the running game big time when he's playing.

I guess I should have stated that Brady would still be a top 5 QB in terms of stats even without him because of the other upgrades made.

There is not one defensive coordinator that would put single coverage on Moss regardless of his performance the last 2 years.

That threat alone makes him matter quite a bit. One guy occupying a cb and a safety is extremely valuable.

Good point! Guess that does change the scope of his value

I equate the need for a great player like Moss to my need for a certain kind of great beer.

At any moment my beer fridge is stocked with at least 1 of ..... Sleeman's Honey Brown Ale, Hoegaarden, Delerium, Fischer, Nethergate UM, Westvleteren and Kilkenney. With such a stock of great tasting beer I never question whether or not I need to also add Guinness to the menu ........ so yes, adding greatness to very good really does matter.

Moss always matters. At the very least, the opposing coaches must invest time preparing for the guy - time that could go elsewhere.
