So are you willing to have Culpepper to turn over the ball 3-4 times a game so he can get one or two passes down the field for Moss? Culpepper in this offense would be a turnover machine because he will not be on the same page as his receivers A LOT.
That is a critical point. Listening to Moss post game he noted that on the game crucial escape from the 2 yd line he (Moss) read the DB coverage as inside, meaning that his pattern would have run him straight into coverage, so he the vet WR decided to break off the inside cut and go down the sideline away from the coverage. Moss said that the QB made the same read and completed the critical pass to him. A QB deficient at reading defenses and unacustomed to the wideouts would not have had a shot at that play. Even Brady and more often Cassel will make mistakes reading such situations but most of the time they'll be congruent with their receivers.
