PFT: Moss would return if Pats come calling

[Rob0729]

Moss still averaged a TD a game the last time he suited up as a starter for the Pats.

If one values scoring TD's as being productive then Moss still was a very productive player at the time he was jettisoned off the Pats roster.

I would strongly argue that attitude, not lack of production, was what caused Moss's termination as a Pats player.

And two of Brady's four INTs were passes to Moss that were forced that Moss couldn't fight for.

Moss had 3 TDs and two of them were against a bad Buffalo defense and the other one was against Revis when he tweaked his hammy on the play. Let's not make it out that he scored these TDs against good defenses. When Revis went out, Antonio Cromartie beat Moss like a rented mule and Brady threw two INTs because Moss couldn't fight for balls and Brady tried to force it in like he could.

Moss is done. You want his touchdowns, but you gotta accept that Brady will likely double or even triple his INT rate getting it to Moss. Even in 2009, most of Brady's INTs were passes in Moss' direction.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

(I really do think these Mossy's are the Patriots version of Red Sox pinkhats)

Looks like Brady would welcome Moss back.

Hmmm...

Sounds like Brady and Moss have a plan ?

Yeah, the whole 'Brady has no faith in Moss' thing is fan-mad BS imo.

Tom Brady is a master of "say all the right things in the media". What did you expect Tom to say?
Sorry Mossy's but Ruff Ruff Randy ain't walking through that door. Patriots have been there, done that and won nothing doing it.

Dunno. Brady a few years ago spoke of running for office. Natural politicians do not close the door on anyone or anything that may help them in the future. It's both a habit and an inclination for guys like Brady. I wouldn't put any credence in what he said today either way. I do know that Brady was doing a lot of yelling at Moss last year on the field.

Time will tell, and what BB does will tell more. If we have injuries at non slot WR's, and he's not brought in, then you have the BB answer. The truth might not come out of Brady for 20 years or never. Maybe when he writes his memoirs. "From Star QB to Senator from Massachusetts".

lol at the spin fans can put on anything a player says or doesnt say.

He could have said the usual "I can only play with the players here" or simply, "I dont make those choices"

All you have to do is look at the Miami game last year as proof to the opposite. Brady didn't even look in his direction.

Brady knows that Moss isn't coming back to the Patriots. He likes Moss personally. It doesn't mean anything. He isn't going to trash Moss and say that he just couldn't trust Moss anymore.

Brady and Moss have a good relationship. That doesn't mean that Brady trusts him as a receiver. If the Pats were going to resign Moss, they would have already. If Brady really wanted him back,I am sure he would be on the team right now. Fact is the Pats do not want him back or he would be back.

That isn't Brady speak. That is Belichick speak. Brady talks up everyone plays with or have played with. Brady has never said anything remotely that he can only speak about the roster. I have heard him talk up Reche Caldwell when Troy Brown trashed his work ethic. He would probably say good things about guys like Joey Galloway (who he was caught reaming on the sidelines for not knowing his routes).

If you nitpick enough you'll surely find something wrong ..... if finding something wrong is your intention.

I knew that the Moss brigade would jump on Tom's answer to the obviously uncomfortable question he was forced to field by the morons he's contractually obligated to tap dance with weekly. I happened to have listened to the interview. The Moss question came on the heels of Tom explaining to them for the umpteenth time why the media gets nothing but canned responses from Belichick while behind closed doors the players hear everything... There was a long pregnant pause before Tom again answered the annoying question that mediots can't let go...

FWIW he said if it were up to him Brown and Patten would still be here and Branch would have never left. He freely acknowledges it is a good thing personnel decisions aren't part of his responsibilities... Every WR/TE/RB/OL he's ever played with remains a friend and/or talent he admired and he will never disparage any one of them. If you told him Belichick was bringing Wiggins back as the blocking TE (which would at least get him off the air where he is unlistenable) Brady would tell you that he would welcome Wiggie back with open arms. Although I doubt that would be what he was privately thinking...which would be more along the lines of WTF is Bill smoking...

Brady also opined this AM that while being physically tough matchup wise matters being mentally tough was probably as if not more significant. Mental toughness and the ability to handle his emotions and ego has always been Randy's achilles heel...

LOL! I am nitpicking?!? You are right. Moss is awesome! Belichick would have been crazy to trade Moss away last year considering he was such a dominant force in the Pats' 14-2 season. Do you think Brady could have gotten 36 TDs and only 4 INTs if Moss wasn't on the team all year last year. Oh wait.

If Moss was remotely any good and would have helped the team, Belichick would never had traded him and he certainly would be on the Patriots roster right now since he could be had for an one year veteran minimum contract.

It isn't nitpicking when you stat the glaring facts. Moss is not a receiver who can or will fight for the ball anymore. He can get beat in one on one match ups. Brady makes most of his interceptions over the last two years trying to get the ball to him.

Seriously, does anyone really believe that if Belichick thought Moss could be a positive addition to the team, he wouldn't have resigned him by now? It's not like there are teams beating down Moss' door and Belichick doesn't want to get into a bidding war. Moss wants to play for the Patriots and would probably take the veteran minimum to do so. Belichick never came calling though.

Like I said..no pats fan wants moss back..unless he comes back, then suddenly everyone will swear they've always wanted him back..

See, Ochocino..most people did not want him, and said it would NEVER happen..then suddenly every swore they always wanted him, and knew it would happen.

 

[conway]

TFB wants it. It's going to happen after week 1.

I don't want Moss back and will be pissed if he comes back. Brady, at this point, is a better QB without him. The only way I would want him back in any circumstances if both he and Brady realize he is not the focal point of the offense and he will only get 1-4 passes a game. If Moss has anything left, he is mostly a decoy and complimentary player at this point. He is not a main target. I think we saw that on three teams last year. He is you third or fourth WR at best at this time.

That is not remotely what he said... He said Randy is one of the greatest talents he's ever worked with and privately he remains a friend. He said he can't get into Moss' head, and that is an understatement... He said if he did come back he would welcome him with open arms. If for some equally strange reason Bill brought AD back, Tom would essentially say the same damn thing... Diplomacy is high on the long list attributes on Tom's unique face of the franchise QB-ing skillset...

He wants Patton and Brown back too...and they have as good a shot as Moss of that happening for different reasons...

 

[Rob0729]

Moss is beast

LOL! It ain't 2007 anymore. The only people that beast was scaring last year were the head coach who had him on his roster in that given week... and some poor caterer in the Packers' facilities.

Moss is average at best right now. Probably not even that good.

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Moss is an enigma

Fixed that for you...
