I hear that some players/relatives/friends occasionally drop in on us. I would like to put this out there, on the off chance this is the case:
Dear Mr. Moss,
You know fans live to idly speculate. We love it.
There were rumors for a long time Coach Bellichick was interested in getting you on the Patriots. You know what? Until it happened, I personally thought it would be the worst thing that could happen.
Then you signed with the Pats that draft weekend, and you know what else? I instantly assumed that when the Pats' front office scouts a guy and gauges his mood and character, they almost always get it right.
I saw you saying that you hope fans do not rush to judgment.
You have spent a whole season proving to the world, the media, and everybody who's ever counted you out, that they were dead wrong. And I never heard a negative word from you, despite the press looking for them all season.
When you requested we not rush to judgment, all you requested of us was common decency and respect.
Some people demand respect, and some people command respect. You, Mr. Moss, for your performance and your embracing of the Patriots Team and fans, command respect.
Nobody "knows" anybody based on the fact they see that person on camera. But what you've definitely displayed to all of us is tremendous class and focus, something that's a trademark of the Patriots organization. And it's ridiculous to even mention your on-field achievements this year. They speak for themselves.
So will we, the fans, judge you? I can only speak for myself.
You've come too far with this team, added too much to this team, and shown too much grace under pressure to be abandoned based on one side of a story. You've got our faith and our trust, and we quite frankly have no right to judge you based on hearsay and media uproar.
Think about how you guys rallied around Coach Belichick when every clown that had ever lost to the Patriots was crawling out of the woodwork with an opinion.
That's how I feel about whatever media uproar we will see in the days prior to the San Diego game.
You're our guy. Go win a game dawg.
