I guess Tom Brady will have someone to throw to this coming season.

Wow, nobody would give them more than a 4th round pick?

 

He's on the downside of his career, skips practices, doesn't play hard, and has major attitude problems.

Only on a team close to a championship like New England does it make sense.

And for a team like New England, this is an absolute steal.

Moss will be energized and may actually do something with a great QB and coach both of whom command respect and won't take his BS.

 

stallwoth and moss

damn!

 

Raiders also got former 1st round pick WR Mike Williams and QB Josh McCown for a 4th round pick.

When we took WR Johnnie Lee Higgins with the final pick of the 3rd round last night, the writing was on the wall.

No way the Raiders could have afforded to finance JaMarcus Russell's contract with Moss and his contract being dead weight.

His time here was unfortunate, we were in extreme rebuilding mode, Davis was stubborn and wouldn't take a 1st round QB, Art Shell and Norv Turner were very big mistakes. It has been 4 years of hell and bad decisions.

It wasn't a good fit and now he's going to go somewhere else, I don't blame him at all.

 

if they do get him, DAYUM, Brady and Moss are going to destroy secondaries.

 

I think this is the case of what I call 'player pouting.' Guys who are very skilled but don't feel like playing 100% when they aren't in a top team. My Browns had an overall #1 and overall #2 pick on their defensive line. Yes, the team sucked, and I know it's demoralizing. But these guys clearly didn't give a damn about their job and were worthless. The whole d-line gets traded to Denver and suddenly it's one of the best d-lines in the group. In life you always have control in how much effort you put in your job. Especially for a few million a year these guys need to take pride in their own work ethic.

That said, I consider Moss a 'pouter', and in NE it will probably inspire him to start trying again, like you said. Unfortunately 'pouting' works in pro sports.

 

I cant believe the Raiders couldnt get a 3rd...

 

Everybody says fourth rounder, but Yahoo has fourth rounder and a 2008 first... which would be a huge difference. I'm guessing they're wrong, but who knows?

(look at the blurb on the right)

 

Never mind... the official press release is out... it is just a fourth rounder. Wow.

Haven't heard anything about that, but the trade isn't official yet until Moss passes the physical (in process right now)

Green Bay apparently wouldn't give up a 3rd rounder so it came down to who had the highest 4th round pick, the Patriots got a high 4th rounder from San Fran yesterday and now some chump CB named John Bowie is now known as "the guy who was traded for Randy Moss"

 

amazing..

Moss and Stallworth.

But let's not forget Wes Welker. This guy was pretty underrated in Miami last year imo. Esp. given the QB's he had throwing to him.

Those 3 make a sick group. Add the main holdover in Reche Caldwell who developed a solid rhythm with Brady...and Ben Watson who's still coming into his own.. NE is gonna demolish teams. All they really need is someone to help split time with Maroney just a little so he doesn't get pounded

 

New England = 1990's 49ers

 

Where is Jabar Gaffney?

Rocket RIver

 

A past-his-prime Moss is still better than 80% of the receivers in the league. This is like Brady having a bigger and faster Deion Branch.

 

To those who say Moss is past his prime... You are right. But he ran a sub 4.3 recently. So he can still spread the D

 

Who is Randy Moss?

 

Look what New England did for Mr. bad attitude Corey Dillion.



I can't believe Moss is 30 -- man time freaking flies.

 

The NFL is way to skewed toward the draft. I mean marshal faulk went for like a second rounder. I think monkeys shooting at dart board would have about the same success as some of these so called experts/ Teams.
