Samuel or Moss? - New England Patriots Forums

If you could resign just one?

Samuel is just so smart back there, but Randy really opens up the whole offense. I would say this, I'd be more worried about Randy's production declining in the coming years.

I just thrilled to have them both this year.

I would pick Moss, though. This is no knock on Zante, who I love, but he can be replaced - Moss can't. Zante is a borderline pro bowler - Moss is the most talented WR ever.

id take Samuel. younger..CB is a harder position to find talent. take Randy away..we have Welker-Stallworth-Gaffney-Jackson and..Brady obviously. Take Samuel away..its Hobbs and Gay. not comfortable

im confident both will be back because Moss came to win. He already dicussed why he took a pay cut and he said moneys not an issue at this point in his career. hes gotten tons of money..but hasnt gotten any rings

We'll probably be able to get the top WR or top CB in the draft at this rate. I'm sure their scouting on those positions will factor into their decision.

no need.

maybe we'll draft a CB but not cuz of Samuel. Hobbs isnt so hot imo and Gay ehh

IS THIS A JOKE???

Samuel is a very good cornerback... over the course of a season he will make some big plays and shut down a lot of defenders.

Moss changes the Patriots from a good offense to the greatest offense in the history of the NFL, by a sizeable margin.

One Moss is worth an infinite amount of Samuels.

what?!

did u not see us go so far with CALDWELL and Gaffney and Brown at WR. Now its Stallworth and Welker added..minus Caldwell and maybe a better Jackson if hes got the playbook down.

Moss is great..love him but we've played with bad WRs..Hobbs is underperforming defensivly while Samuel is SHUT DOWN. take away Samuel and our D is a lot worse.

Let's review this situation logically:

By not exercising options on Stallworth and Washington, the salary cap savings for the New England Patriots will be approximately $12 million for 2008. That's enough to sign both Randy Moss and Asante Samuel, especially if Moss is willing to take the home town discount.

Watch the replay of the AFCCG this week and you will see one of the greatest performances ever by a corner. A lot of people say he is not a shut down corner because he doesn't run a 4.2 and he wasn't a high pick...but watch that game and try to tell me otherwise.

I still lean towards Moss, but it is a close call.

Don't fight the hypothetical.
