Moss apologists, like those with Maroney will never accept the facts.
Your whole post makes me cringe, every part. Are the Patriots known for being an organization that would trash a player, let alone a past Pats player? I guess the 10+ reports of his pathetic attitude and his obvious quitting during games is blind to you. Did you happen to watch the Carolina game last season? I know, I know he played hard right?
The bold isnt even worth my comment because your just drinking the koolaid BB sold on you about the trade. He forced BB's hand, that's a fact.
How is that a fact?? Show me how that is a fact. Anything will do.
Reports are less reliable than his teammates comments about him. The "reporters" weren't there, they heard it from someone else. And even if you accept those reports as fact, there was nothing in them that demonstrates that Moss had become such a cancer that Belichick couldn't even stand to have the guy on the team anymore.
Your hatred for the guy is irrational, and so are your arguments. You speak as if you were on the locker room, there are no "facts" here, merely opinions, as neither you nor I have real knowledge of what went on. I am merely coming up with a more reasonable explanation as to why he was traded, without resorting to mediatic sensationalism. But, obviously, you're blinded by your personal bias against Moss.
And oh, by the way, I never drunk the kool-aid on this trade. Actually, I was against it when it happened. If anyone is the homer here, it's you, for the mere fact that you are placing the responsibility for the trade solely on Moss, acting as if Belichick had no other choice, and thus made the undoubtedly right decision by trading him. I'm not saying he was right or wrong, all I'm arguing is that it might not be as black and white as "Moss was a bum and the team would be ruined if he weren't traded", simply because there is absolutely no evidence to support that claim.
Minny traded him because he is psychologically unstable and quickly realized the Vikings weren't going anywhere, so yeah, he surely quit on them because he had that "oh s*it" moment when he figured how dumb it was of him to not be more of a team player here. I don't contest he became somewhat of a problem in 2010, I just think the situation could very well be solved if it weren't for the fact that it was the last year of his contract. Bill just didn't see the value in resigning him and got what he could because he thought the Pats would be successful without Moss. That's the more reasonable explanation.
