I hate to say it, but, I don't think Moss is helping this team. You can argue with the stats, etc, but he takes Brady's vision away two weeks in a row on huge momentum shifters. Brady looks to Moss way too often.

I think this team needs a WR corps like the Eagles, huge depth but not one superstar.

Thoughts?

The Intimidator

He was great for us in 2007 and last season wasn't he? Is Randy Moss the reason for the pass rush being horrendous? Is Randy Moss the reason for the poor corners? Is Randy Moss the reason for this bad offense? No its not. It is the personnel that was brought in here in the off season and the bad playing calling. Moss has been great for this team. Not his fault.

Welker gets one on one coverage fron nickel backs because of Randy Moss. The middle of the field is wide open because of Randy Moss.

The Patriots are missing a 2nd WR who can beat single coverage.

Edit: The two "momentum shifters" you name both involved mistakes more than forced passes. In the Saints game Brady was late (due to pressure) on a slant that was wide open if thrown on time. In the game today, Brady badly underthrew the fade route. In watching the replay, the ball appeared to wobble from the start, this might have been a poor throw due to his injury.

Well, I mean, history does bear that out a bit doesn't it? Our most successful years were when Branch, Givens, and Brown were all doing their thing with Faulk serving as something of a swing man between lining up with the WRs and catching screens in the backfield.

They should still be able to do that... although losing Edelman does seem to hurt a lot, since both him and WW would be able to open up the sidelines a bit.

The offense is to blame, but it's not on Moss.

The Patriots give the opposing offense WAY too many chances/drives this year.

Yeah...take moss off the team and give the D more attention to Welker and slow down the offense....great idea

Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

I was talking with a friend about Moss the other day. I was saying that Moss is a terrible posession receiver. With Moss it's either a bomb or nothing for the most part. When was the last time you say Moss wide open on anything just over ten yards? I was watching Branch and Givens against Indy last week in the 2003 regular season game on NFL network. They were both wide open constantly on crossing routes around 10-15 yards down field. I miss that!

Any of you guys that know engines (I know....only the engine guys will get this)Moss is like a top end only motor. He has no low or mid engine tourque. It's killing drives. Sure....he can give you that big play from time to time....but, he is a drive killer IMO

Other than his cap #, you can't possibly convince me having Moss is not a good thing.

It is possible to have a weapon like Moss and not throw the ball downfield 50 times a game. He's not the one calling the plays.

I know right? Who needs a good wide receiver when you can have a bunch of average ones. And then we could be like the Eagles! Woohoo!
