I started this thread, and I can't believe you come here NOW that we have acquired Moss to point out how stupid it was. Where were you BEFORE we acquired him?
For the record (and I posted as much earlier today), I have softened my stance on Moss somewhat - for two reasons - we only gave up a 4th round pick for him and we only signed him to a 1 year deal and only commited 3M to him. (Is any of that guaranteed?) A 4th round pick is a long shot to make a team like this anyway - so why not take a chance on a talent like Moss? If he starts to cause problems you just cut him and the experiment didn't cost you very much.
I still am nervous about the guy, but in BB I DO trust and if he thinks this was a good risk to take I am ok with it - with the caveats stated and covered by the low draft pick and low risk contract.
It's just that I can remember some awfully distasteful things that Randy Moss has done - such as using his automobile to push a meter maid because she was writing him a ticket, or pantomiming a moon job on live TV. Is that the kind of role model you want for your children? That's why, even while I will hope he has grown up and will give him the benefit of the doubt, I will have a hard time rooting for him wholeheartedly.
