The defense wasnt **** with Seymour in 08, he was never the impact player Moss was for the team. We went through 4 seasons where seymour was mostly an afterthought, so this team was well equipped to handle the loss. Throw in a first rounder for a guy who was gone and the deal is sealed. If Moss was gone for a first, hell even a 2nd wouldn't be bad. But a 3rd rounder is nothing.
We're talking about a guy who's easily a 1000+ receiver. And if he dosen't I promise you his teammates will. Seymour doesn't have that kind of impact, he was never the kind of player people made him out to be. After 05, it was over for big Sey. He had a good statistical year in 08, but he didn't do the things Moss does for the offense. Since 07, this team lives and dies with the offense, Moss was a part of that everyday. Seymour was hurt most of the time, and didn't lead a dominant defense. He sure had himself a nice contract year to help himself get paid, and he sure has made a big impact in Oakland huh?
It's going to kill me watching Moss turn Minny's season around. I realize Moss was gone after this season, but a motivated Moss over 16 games is deadly for the opposition. If we come to learn his release is due to his strained relationship with the coaching staff I'm going to puke. His teammates didn't hate him, and this team needed him. We just won in Miami but it feels like we lost 50-0. All the people calling me chicken little can say whatever they want, they're heads are going to explode when this offense struggles without Moss and suddenly are amazing rookies TEs aren't so amazing anymore.
