Randy Moss Thoughts

PrintRandy Moss is a Viking again. I can hardly believe that I just typed that.
I'm generally a pretty verbose guy, but I'm struggling finding the right words to properly put the Moss trade into context. For those of you that know me, I was torn about the Moss trade in 2005. I could understand both the Vikings and Moss wanting to move on, but I thought that bastard Red McCombs did it more as a way to give one last middle finger to Vikings fans on his way out the door. Why? The compensation the Vikings got, which wasn't much, and what they did with said compensation, which was even less.
But you know what? It doesn't matter. Randy's home, in purple, where he belongs. I still have a Moss jersey somewhere in the bowels of my closet, because for some reason, I always thought, way deep down, that Moss would someday wear purple again. And now he is.
And I am overjoyed. And stunned. But WAY more overjoyed.
Welcome home, Randy. Use this thread for welcome home comments, and post your favorite Moss in purple moments. I'll have a winners and losers article up later today, but for now, just revel in this moment, and imagine Paul Allen's dulcet tones:
"Three seconds left, Favre in the shotgun. Moss wide left, Harvin going in motion. The Metrodome crowd is going nuts. Cook snaps the ball. Favre looks downfield and rolls right, pump fakes, LET'S IT GO...AND IT'S MOSS!! MOSS!! TOUCHDOWN RANDY MOSS WITH AN INCREDIBLE ONE HANDED GRAB OVER CHARLES WOODSON!!
VIKINGS WIN! VIKINGS WIN! VIKINGS WIN!!!"
Randy Moss, Minnesota Vikings. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

To Paraphrase the VPOTUS:
This is a big fracking deal.
I for one never thought Moss would be back here—I’m assuming Favre threw his weight behind getting this deal done.

Welcome Back 84 and .....
Favorite moment was the crowd mooning at Lambeau I thought it was hilarious. “Straight Cash”. Haha
That was a sweet moment!
And I still laugh at that bloated moron Joe Buck for having his little feelings hurt by the gesture..
Fake Outrage?
They didn’t put Moss’ moon landing in context. Didn’t Packers fans have a tradition of actually mooning the Vikings and/or their fans?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m a Jets fan here, happy that Moss will be out of the division. Basically secures the Jets division title. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not scared of Moss. Revis continually shuts him down and he will monday night as well so when Moss has a piss poor performance against the Jets don’t give up on him just yet. I’m giddy because the Pats have nothing but Welker now. Fine, put Revis on Welker and Brady has got nothing to throw to!
Kudos for you Vikings fans for getting him for a third round pick though. When Sidney Rice gets back you’ll have some nice weapons. The only problem is, Farve is the 28th worst QB in the league right now at the old age of 41. Not to mention he’s playing on a bad ankle, to have hopes that he’ll find his groove is a reach, he’s most likely just done. Personally, when you guys lose to the Jets next week I think you should bench Farve and start Tavaris. No reason to halt his development because of Farve who’s playing like a steaming pile of waste and will be gone next year. There’s no point in playing Farve unless he’s winning and that’s something that he isn’t doing.

Well...
So far Sanchez has the 4th highest QB rating in the league; 105.3, 8TD’s and 0INT’s. Farve is ranked 28th in the league; 60.4, 2TD’s and 6INT’s. Those are simple facts my friend. Sanchez is playing far better than Farve is as of right now. Maybe it’s because Farve is 41 with a bad ankle. I’m just being real, all facts no bogusness here. Maybe Moss can make your other receivers better, well not maybe he will but if Farve continues this play it doesn’t matter. The guy has thrown 2 touchdowns in 3 games… He’s led you all to 1 win and before you guys got Moss your fan confidence was at an all time low. He’s burying your team and you all know it.

San"CHIZE"
tossed FIVE picks against the BILLS last year in one game. Were you ready to bench him? I will take the “old” QB with a rejuvenated outlook, and a wholly revamped offense with Moss over a sophomore QB, a receiving corps that has trouble staying sober, and an aging RB who, when matched up against AP in the past, has stood on the sidelines admiring his record setting rushing day.
All I read was Last Year and stopped reading whatever came out of your mouth.
Last year has no bearing on this year. THIS YEAR Farve has thrown 6 picks San"CHIZE" has thrown none.

If they amputated his left leg and sent him out there with a wooden stub,
Favre would still be miles better Jackson.
That's a good point.
But if Farve keeps losing why not bench him and play the young QB that will probably have to start next year? There is no reason to continue playing Farve if he’s only winning 1 out of every 4 games. That’s why I said if he keeps losing you mind as well just go and bench him. Like it or not you’ll be seeing more of Jackson next year unless you trade for or draft a QB that can take that starter position.

Favre is NOT our biggest problem on offense.
We’ve had a revolving door of receivers and a sieve for a O-Line to this point.
Perhaps your feeling for Favre’s play are wishful thinking…

don’t feed the trolls
"We have a right to be proud, for in our veins flows the blood of many brave races who fought as the lion fights for lordship. Here, in the whirlpool of European races, the Ugric tribe bore down from Iceland the fighting spirit which Thor and Odin gave them, which their Berserkers displayed to such fell intent on the seaboards of Europe, ay, and of Asia and Africa too, till the peoples thought that the werewolves themselves had come."
-from Bram Stoker's Dracula
I'm considered a troll because I'm only saying the things you all are thinking?
Moss is a GREAT pick up and you gave away basically nothing for him. All I’m saying is that if Farve keeps laying the WAY HE IS he’s gonna run your team into the ground and this Moss pickup will be moot.

The problem with Favre this year...
Is the offensive line and a lack of a solid #1 receiver.
Now that we have that solid #1, our 2,3 and 4 options become much more viable. Which means that Favre doesn’t have to hold onto the ball as long and will help the line immensely.
Well
I’m just having confidence in my team and by how both teams have been playing the Jets are the obvious favorites. Farve is playing horrible, he’s being pressured non stop and he’s going against the Jets blitz happy defense with their best pass rusher Pace coming back. Revis will be back playing on Moss probably, Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes will be back and will make our receivers even better. We stop the run consistently and aren’t worried about AP, so many things are in the Jets favor so of course I’m optimistic we’ll come out with a win. We’re hot, your cold, we’re fresh, you’re not. Coming off a bye week you can make the argument that you’ll be ready and fired up but you still have Farve so moot.

Again, you must have not watched that game.
Sanchez threw the ball pass 10 yards twice that entire game. Why? I have no freaking clue, the coaching staff didn’t take his training wheels off for that game. Their secondary wasn’t even 100%, Reed wasn’t playing yet we still forced him to constantly check down. Pisses me off. Ever since that game we’ve been letting him throw and… Well he’s dominating what can I say? :) The thing is our offense is better then your defense. Can you cover Cotchery, Edwards, Holmes, Keller and LT out the back? I don’t think anyone can and if your defense was so great maybe you’d win more games. We know the troubles you had with the Dolphins and Saints… Scored 9 on the Saint, 10 on the Dolphins… Our D is better than theirs…

It just occurred to me...
you recommend the Vikings replace Favre with Jackson. Seems that is the only reason the Jets amounted to anything last year, when a certain team pulled its starters in the second half of a certain game, allowing a certain team to back into the playoffs. I understand the knee jerk idea for an opponent to do the same this season.
The Colts reference :D
That’s the argument fans go to against the Jets when their back is against the wall. Yes the Colts layed down but hey we still did what we had to do and one that game. Then we beat the Bengals TWICE in a row. First game they played their starters the first half. We were up 30 at halftime. They pulled their starters in the second half and we finished the game 37-0 :) We kicked their ass the next game in the playoffs as well.
And yes I recommend replacing Farve for Jackson IF Farve keeps playing like the 41 year old man with a bad ankle that he is. If he’s losing you games why keep him in? How long will you hold onto this Farve dream and let him ruin you? If he loses against the Jets and then again the week after that you bench him. He’s old, he’s retiring next year, he wont be there, bench him and play the QB that will be there next year and let him get some reps. The Titans had the same way of thinking last year when they benched Collins for Young who than went on a tear. Why play the over the hill losing vet instead of the young QB with potential? Pleas explain why you keep Farve in if he keeps losing. Please do…

k.
The only reason to take the Jet’s over the Viking’s in this game is that they’re the home team, other then that, the Viking’s man for man are a better team..
"If at first you don't succeed - Skydiving isn't for you"
And that's why you won 1 game and we've only lost 1.
To have a team as the favorites just become their the home team??? You already sound like a loser and you still have’t given me a reason why the Vikings have a better chance to win the game. Explain how you are better. Even if you truly believe you are a better team man for man, with Farve playing like dump shit and not being able to score how could you keep up? If he averages 2 INT’s a game how do you expect to win? Tell me what possibilities you have of winning. Here are some reason why the Jets can win. Your O line is horrible and we bring non stop pressure. Revis has proven he can lock down any side of the field. Our best pass rusher is coming back, Super Bowl MVP Holmes will play and do the same things Moss will do for you, spread the field for other receivers and open the running game even more. LT is averaging 6.1 yards per carry, Sanchez has yet to throw a INT and has been passing beautifully after week 1. The Jets continually stop the run and can take AP out of the game. What do you have to look forward to? How can you beat us?

We can beat you the same way you can beat us.
Both of us are run first teams that are great at stopping the run. Both of our teams depend on a good pass rush to stop opposing passing attacks. Your team gets it’s pressure through multiple blitzes and man to man coverage behind it while we rely on our front four and zone coverage behind it. The team that wins this game is the team that does a better job of running the ball, stopping the run, and getting pressure on the opposing QB. It’s going to be a good matchup as it’s going to be strength against strength almost across the board and I believe it’ll be a defensive struggle like your game against Baltimore.
As for favorites and odds just look at Vegas to see how big of a favorite you are. Right now the Jets are a 4 point favorite at home and the standard advantage in spreads given to home teams is 3 points. So the Jets are a 1 point favorite plus their homefield advantage. It should be a close game and will probably be decided by an untimely turnover by Sanchez or Favre.
I don’t assume beating the Jets will be an easy win and you shouldn’t assume beating the Vikings will be as easy as you seem to think it will be.

In my opinion..
I have a +1 factor….
Coming out of a bye week can be good/bad, so we’ll throw that case out the window…
The acquisition of Moss will effect the Jets way of game-planning for the defense.. The mid-week acquisition will make defensive coordinators have to take in an extra threat. An extra threat that is pretty familiar w/ your teams secondary. Now, the question will be… Do we utilize him and throw to him, or use him mostly as a decoy.
I think this may influence the game some-what. Mostly because the defensive coordinators may have to make adjustments… Maybe we may come out passing often, or just doing straight-up run the ball…
Defensively, I think both teams match up very well… Vikings have held teams to low scores..
Offensively, I would of said that the Jets maybe had the slight edge, but maybe we are about even or +1 w/ the Moss-factor.
If either side can open up the run and utilize it well, game-over. Your defense is pretty sophisticated, and Favre is somewhat familiar w/ it.. Remember, he was at one time a Jet… So he may match up well against your defense..
But, where I feel the + 1 in our favor, I believe it is negated by the fact that this is a road game. This should be a close game… Maybe even somewhat boring if its low-scoring.
Here's what I think.

An extra threat that is pretty familiar w/ your teams secondary. Now, the question will be… Do we utilize him and throw to him, or use him mostly as a decoy.
IMO you should use him as a decoy. Moss has never really been a huge threat for the Jets over the past few years. Tom Brady is a smarter passer then Farve and doesn’t chuck as much as Farve does, that’s what Farve is known for. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. Revis continually shuts down Moss, if Farve threw up a jump ball 95% of the time Revis will have Moss blanketed and it could result in a INT. I would use him as a decoy and hit the Jets with something they aren’t familiar with (Berrian, Shaincoe or Harvin)
If either side can open up the run and utilize it well, game-over. Your defense is pretty sophisticated, and Favre is somewhat familiar w/ it.. Remember, he was at one time a Jet… So he may match up well against your defense..
Farve isn’t familiar with our defense. When we had Farve we weren’t coached by Rex Ryan, we were coached by Eric Mangini and were playing “Bend but don’t break” defense. The defense Farve played against in practice with the Jets is non existent on the defense we have now and if we had the defense we had last year the year we had Farve we would have had a nice chance at a Super Bowl.

What can the Vikes do?
Throw it to Moss in the end zone. Ask Revis about that.
Moss has 2 td's on Revis in the past 3 years.
1 was off a no huddle quick snap. Ask moss.

Revis though
Is coming off of a hammy injury, will that slow him down? I guess that is a question we may find out…
However, Revis while being potentially a great d-back.. Can’t cover the whole field.. It’ll be interesting to see how we game plan against your defense
That is cause for concern.
If Revis isn’t 100% I don’t want to play him, hamstring injuries can get serious. I have faith in our D, we won 2 without him so I don’t think we’d get burned without him. He’s the face of our D but he isn’t OUR D.

Run it up your throat.
And, shut down your run, and expose exactly how weak the Jets passing game really is. That should be enough to win th egame i think
We constantly stop the run.
The only running back to have a great game on us was Jones drew last year. We’ve stopped Ray Rice, The Dolphins Wildcat, Marshawn Lynch and soon we’ll stop AP. If the Dolphins can do it so can we. Now I give you credit for your defensive line, you guys stop the run but with all of our receiving threats I’d like to see you stop our Keller Play action, our Edwards fade, our cotchery sideline our LT checkdown and our Holmes slant with YAC. You have an upside and you have a point, but the fact is, the Jets have so much more to offer in this game.

Lol
Moss has 2td’s in the last 3 years on the Jets with Tom Brady who is WAY better then Farve. I’m not scared of Moss, we’ve played against moss time and time again, when Revis went out Cro shut him down and we picked brady off twice that game throwing to moss. The jets aren’t scared of Moss and we damn sure aren’t scared of the 41 year old hot garbage Farve. Farve is going to get pressured all game long, he will throw 2 picks at least and will look to Moss to save him. Throw to Revis’ side if you want Farve. lol

look at the whole offense not just favre.
I would bet money that half of Favres turnovers this season are a result of another player on the offense screwing up. In fact two come to mind. The fumble in the endzone against the dolphins and his second? interception against the lions. On both plays farve was hit as he was getting rid of the ball, because phil loadholt was beat like a red headed step child. Berrian also let a pass bounce off his hands that resulted in a pick in one of the games and did nothing to break up another pick against the fins let alone make a play on the ball. Our offense was/is out of sync except for Peterson who’s been a beast, I’m not saying Moss is a cure all but he’ll get more separation and go after the ball better than Berrian did, which should allow Favre to get the ball out sooner so he’s not getting knocked around cuz the o line can’t block. Favre at 41 just doesn’t have the magic to carry the team every game anymore. He’s a piece to the puzzle now, not a franchise player.
Aww, a delusional Jets fan . . .
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not scared of Moss. Revis continually shuts him down . . .”
Well, except for that time in week 2 when Moss one-handed that pass in the end zone. How is the hammy Revis tore when he got beat?
I knew one of you would bring that up :)
That touchdown was a no huddle quick snap. Our defense wasn’t set and they caught us of guard. Nice call by Belichic. Not making excuses but that’s what happened. Go watch the play, I’m assuming you haven’t seen it yet because if you did you wouldn’t have mentioned it. Revis wasn’t even lined up in front of Moss that play never even got set. Like I said good call by the Pats. Revis did actually hurt his hamstring. If you think he would fake so much that we would leave him in NY when we played a division game on national tv against the phins then you are just insane. He missed 2 games and he will be back for you guys :) Sweet revenge.

“That touchdown was a no huddle quick snap. Our defense wasn’t set and they caught us of guard. Nice call by Belichic. Not making excuses but that’s what happened. "
Actually, those are excuses.
And I didn’t imply anything about Revis’ hammy being faked. YOU did. Interesting that you’re so being defensive about Revis.
It's not an excuse it's what happened.
You lost to the Dolphins because AP couldn’t get 2 yards for a TD. Not an excuse it’s what happened.. And you definitely insinuated that Revis’ “hammy” was fraudulent. He didn’t tear it by the way it was a strain. When a jackass holds out of training camp and gets thrown into a real game on short notice of course there will be straining of the muscles. It’s common sense. Have you ever worked out? Lifted weights? If you have you’ll understand that you get sore and playing a NFL football game has 10x’s more wear and tear on your body than a simple workout at the gym.

A Jets fan on the topic of Brett Favre
Yeah, we should not be surprised that it comes out with that bias.
How is it bias when I'm just stating fact?
I have no ill will towards Farve, he was playing great when we had him, he just buckled at the end of the season because of an injury he didn’t notify anyone about which was a selfish move on his part. I’m not bias towards him at all, he’s playing like shit this year, there is no arguing that fact. I simply said if he keeps playing bad bench him and bring in your young QB, it’s better for your team I can’t see how no one is in agreement with me. If he keeps losing why would you continue to play him? Makes no sense especially when he’ll be retiring next year. When are you going to give up on Farve? The guy is 41 and he’s playing like it. He has a bum ankle and he is playing like it. If he keeps losing it’s obvious that he just doesn’t have “it” anymore. When do you call it quits? He’s helped your team last year immensely I understand that but last year is irrelevant now, what matters is this year and this year he’s playing like an old man. Halt your young QB’s development if you want, if Farve turns it on and plays well, keep him in, if he continues with this disgrace bench him. It’s that simple.

Just answer this question :
If Farve loses you the next 2 games and you end up 1-4 would you like to see him benched and why?
If you wouldn’t want to see him benched then what would he have to do for you to want him benched?
My way of thinking is that it’s pointless to play Farve if he isn’t winning. He’s old and you have a young QB that can be developed. I don’t see the point in playing a Farve that’s losing you games when he’ll retire at the end of the season and then you’ll have to throw Jackson to the wolves next season and hope he’s ready when you can get him ready now.

Favre had a slow start last year too...
Just it wasn’t shown due to the fact that we won the games….
If our offense starts clicking like we hope.. It’ll be hard to stop us…
Remember, Favre was once a Jet and probably understands your defense pretty well. He’s got the experience to understand the game.
Moss may not be the guy who wins us the game, but I see him being a factor.. You still gotta cover the guy…
We have other offensive targets as well… And I am pretty sure the team has game-planned well for the Jets.
Are defense is playing very well. Even holding players like calvin johnson to low yardage.
I think both teams will likely struggle to score often. This could be like a Jets/Ravens game..
A war of field goals… And I like our kicker Longwell..
two things, internmikey.
I could care less about that Fanpost and I wont bother to click the link.
if you took the trouble to write this, then you most certainly watched the video.
Just answer this question :
i won’t answer any question for you unless you admit you watched the video and that yes, yes you do want to be a jet pilot.
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
Here’s how last year is relevant. At the beginning of last season, people were saying the same thing: Favre is done. Look at what happened last year with the Jets. His arm is clearly shot. Plus, Favre is 40 years old. He’s only gonna get worse." In fact, people were saying the same thing after the Vikings lost to Arizona in week 13. “See, I told you. Here it comes—just like last year. He starts out fast only to fall apart at the end of the season. Why? Because he’s 40. He’s done.” However, in the end, Favre proved those people wrong. He had arguably his best season in his entire amazing career and took the Vikings one drive away from the Super Bowl. Sure, he threw that ridiculous pick, but he’s been prone to ridiculous picks his whole career (I’m not gonna defend him when he doesn’t deserve to be). So, no one can say he threw it simply because he’s “done.”
Come to think of it, people were saying the same thing after the Jets traded for him in 2008. “Favre is done. Look what happened last year in the NFC title game. In the 2nd half, he looked like a broken old man out there in the snow. Plus, he’s 39 years old. He’s only gonna get worse.” Yet you admitted that he played well and only fell apart due to injury. In week 11, he beat the Pats in overtime, prompting the ordinarily curmudgeonly Dr. Z to sing Favre’s praises in one of the last articles he wrote for SI.com before his unfortunate stroke. Then, Favre followed that up with a win over the then-undefeated Titans in week 12. Clearly, he wasn’t done then either.
What about the 2007 season with the Packers—that following a thoroughly mediocre and uninspired 2006 season and 29 picks the season before that? People were saying the same thing and those people were wrong yet again.
Favre is the guy everyone loves to hate… unless he’s on your team. Like Coach Ryan said, “He’s a once-in-a-lifetime quarterback” and everybody who follows the game somewhat objectively knows it. That’s why when he’s not doing it for your team—or worse, when he’s doing it against your team—you get sick of hearing it. That’s why you hate the guy. That’s why you can’t wait to see him fail.
Not because he’s done.

Bro...
I’m not a Favre hater, he can be a diva at times but don’t hate him. Personally I truly think he is done. If he can bounce back with a bum knee at 41 the guy is a God. What I was saying is, IF Favre plays bad continuously you should consider benching him. I’m not saying bench him now, bench him if this play keeps up. By the way, Favre wasn’t really too bad at the start of the 09 season. He had 5TD’s 3INT’s. Right now he has 2TD’s 6INT’s, 1INT away from tying his INT’s from last year. Last year Favre had amazing games, 5TD’s no INT’s against CHI, 7TD’s no INT’s against GB. I can understand that after seeing those amazing performances your fan base may defer to the idea of sitting him and letting him retire but do you seriously believe that Favre can still have those type of games now? Those are one of a kind games, do you even believe he can consistently get at least 2 TD’s per game? AP is fabulous and all bt running back can’t win you many games. If Favre isn’t playing at least mediocre your future looks bleak, same goes for every other team in the NFL the only difference with the Vikings and other NFL teams is that their season isn’t riding on the shoulders of a 41 year old QB and hoping he still has some juice left.

Bro...
I realize that you personally think he’s done. All I’m saying is that people have been saying that for the last several years. In ‘07, he was done because he tossed 29 picks in ’05 and followed with decidedly unspectacular ‘06. In ’08, he was done because he disappeared in the NFC title game. In ’09, he was done because he fell apart down the stretch in ’08 and had a shoulder operation during the offseason. And each time, Favre proved his detractors wrong. You would think that by now people would start to give him the benefit of the doubt. Nevertheless, the same people are saying once again that he’s done simply because he hasn’t been playing well through the first three games of a very long season. (By the way, let’s not read too much into his performance so far. After all, he missed training camp, Rice is injured, Harvin has been unreliable for understandable reasons, Berrian has been a bit of a mystery, and pass protection in the two games I saw was spotty. Furthermore, it’s clear that the team itself believes the current receiving corps is blameworthy as well or they wouldn’t have traded for Randy Moss.)
So, my question is this: why? Why do people personally believe year after year that Favre is done, especially when year after year he proves them wrong? You say you have no hate for Favre and you’re just citing the facts. But you’re cherry picking. You’re "filtering" as they say in psychology: you’re filtering out all the facts that support the opposite position in favor of a small handful that support yours.
My next question is this: why? Why are you cherry picking? Why are you filtering? From here, it smells like hate (or at least an intense dislike) because the guy is one of the most polarizing figures in football. People either love him or hate him, and the people who hate him do so largely because of his admittedly selfish behavior during the offseason. But if we’re really talking facts (i.e., the remarkable things he’s done on the football field over the past few seasons), I can’t see how anyone wouldn’t give him the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah, he’s 41 this year. But he was 40 last year. And it’s not like his foot fell off at the ankle or something. And no, I don’t expect him to have the same year he had last season…
But the addition of Moss is very intriguing. Favre has made a career out of making ordinary receivers extraordinary. After Sterling Sharpe went down, who did Favre have? Robert Brooks? Antonio "Watch Me Catch the Ball with My Chest" Freeman? Bill Schroeder? Donald Driver? For a while there, Javon Walker looked like he could be the big and physical playmaking receiver Favre had always wanted (hence, Favre lobbying for Walker to fill in for Rice). Even Sidney Rice. Everyone keeps saying, "Favre doesn’t have Rice. Favre doesn’t have Rice." Actually, Favre didn’t have Rice at the beginning of last season either—at least not SIDNEY RICE as we know and love him now. Who expected him to have the monster season he had last year? I wonder if Favre had a hand in that. Likewise, Moss has made a career out of making ordinary quarterbacks extraordinary (and one extraordinary quarterback otherworldly). In fact, it seems like Moss’ freakish ability has made entire offenses extraordinary simply because he attracts so much attention.
As for me, I’m betting on Favre.
So
You’re telling me if Favre keeps starting and you’re 1-6 or you reach 2-8 you keep playing him? For what reason? He’s most likely gone next year especially if he has a bad year this season, if he puts you in a hole you can’t crawl out of why don’t you give your young QB reps? If you leave Favre in Jackson would have to wait until next year to finally get reps and you’ll possibly throw away that season because he wasn’t ready. All I’m saying is why is everyone so stuck on Favre that you keep playing him even if he’s only losing. It makes no sense at all. How do you benefit as a team by keeping him in if he just continues to lose? At what point do you say enough is enough?

I know its easy to say after the fact, but I never wanted them to trade Randy in the first place. He was the best WR in the game. If we just got rid of Dante(instead of Randy that year) we could have drafted Jason Campbell or Aaron Rodgers. Randy would have made them look really good for many years.

Not to mention...
IF current CBA rules continue, if Moss does not resign with us after this year we get a 3rd round compensatory pick.
A couple interesting facts that may have been covered elsewhere:
- With the timing of the trade and byes, Moss could play seventeen games this year.
- Moss is going to play on Monday Night Football two weeks in a row. I’d be very surprised if that has ever happened before.

If Favre wasn’t motivated, he is now. He’s got Moss and now. If Favre didn’t have anything left to prove, he does now. Favre and Moss have something to prove.
Just the fact that you have to honor down the field again, and keep a safety deep, and then hand off to Peterson or throw a slant to Harvin… that makes for the potential of the Vikings being scary good. For sure, if Rice comes back midseason, we could be a juggernaut.

He’s a Decent #2, but he will have no place after Sidney comes back.
Maybe we Start using alot of 3 wide sets?
But Sidney, Percy, Randy, Shank, AP and Favre… Unstopable!
Keep him for depth...
I guarantee he’d rather sit on a SB winner than “shine” in St.Louis… not that the Rams won’t have something in short time.
Winning teams NEED depth like him. Perfect win / win this year at least.
BB
Will undoubtedly stay at least this season. Trading block in the offseason, though, maybe… 5 WR’s is not a lot, but let’s not forget we also have Basket and Lewis. SOMEONE’s getting cut/traded for sure, I think it’ll all depend on which one of the three stays. I’m feeling BB probably will win out over Lewis/ Basket, but he is also hella more expensive…
Good point,
It’d be nothing off a cap this year either if they institute one again. The end of the year will mean layoffs for a lot of “stars” this offseason I think…
Give him up for a 2-3rd round pick to another team needing depth at WR ... or
Maybe this is just what BB needs to step up his game. Guys like Randy have a way to elevate the players around him…who knows

Go Nevada Wolf Pack!
I think Sydney, while probably thrilled at the news, is also put on edge by it. After all, Syd and Randy are VERY similiar style players. If Syd doesn’t come back this year, the fact that he may be frowned upon by the FO for his decision to wait on the surgery (I mean, hey, I understand it, but I don’t know if the FO will…), and that they essentially now have the same player… but better… will threaten his chances of an extension. Remember, this is a contract year for him! He’ll be chomping at the bit now to get back out there and prove he’s worth keeping. Before Randy, it was a foregone thing- we NEEDED Syd back like nobody’s business, and it was obvious. But now….?
(BTW- That was NOT meant as a Rice slam, I like Rice, I think he’s an awesome player and a real asset to the team, and again, I understand his aversion to surgery when he was told rehab was possible w/o it. I’m just pointing out what I feel to be facts, especially from the FO’s POV.)

Someone mentioned before..
about needing a roster spot for Rice later…I have one..John Cooper, who apparently from all we have seen is the 4th string center as Ryan Cook and Herrera have both gotten snaps before him. Not sure why they are hanging on to him, other than Sully is ailing.

Mitchell trade freed up a roster spot yesterday
"A parent's only as good as their dumbest kid. If one wins a Nobel Prize but the other gets robbed by a hooker, you failed."
That made a spot for Randy, Rice needs one later...

rice is still on crutches....don't hold your breath.
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
Of course they could always cut one of the other WRs
Time will tell.

This is like '98 all over again!
Except for the fact that we have the best running back in the league!
The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.
and...
a hall of fame QB…
AND!!!
a VERY STOUT DEFENSE!
I BELIEVE...

Favorite Moss Moment?
Oh man, the lateral to Mo Williams as he was being tackled. Priceless.
"I run to daylight when I see an opening." - Adrian All Day Peterson
Favorite Moss Moment?
The 82-yard Culpepper-to-Moss bomb versus the Lions in 2004. I was in the stadium to see it, and I’ve never heard or seen a crowd buzzing like that; watching the ball’s trajectory’s seared into my memory.
I have a question -
Now who is the true Purple Jesus ?
Favre, Moss, or All Day ?
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
welll...
that sounds like the Purple Trinity™ to me…
Father, Son, and Holy Cow!
I BELIEVE...

Monday Night;
Can’t come soon enough. Regardless of how it pans out, I want to thank Ziggy and Chilly for having the chutzpah to at least make this season entertaining again!
