Also apparently, Mortensen and Glazer are reporting this was Childress decision and that it was news to the Vikings. Moss isn't officially on Waivers.

Awesome. So, can you detail for me what my "agenda" is? What exactly am I hoping to accomplish? Athletes who quit really irritate me. So sue me. For your reference, I have also been loudly critical of Carlos Lee, Lance Berkman (though not nearly as much), Terrell Owens, and Tracy McGrady for the same issues. I have conceded this, sir. Doesn't mean I have an "agenda", though. What is it I'm hoping to accomplish? There you have it. (you left out that he quit on the Oakland Raiders) quitter • one who quits So, I can't apologize for stating the obvious. That's fair. But you're accusing me of having an agenda. I dislike the guy. That's not an agenda. It's an opinion. I've conceded the ugly names I used and will agree with you that I shouldn't have used them. Do note that -- I'm meeting you on that point. You're right. But re: the word "quitter" you just said he quit on a few games. One who quits = quitter. I never gave any numbers. You're confusing his career numbers with what he would provide right now. Would I take a chance on him five years ago? I had reservations, but yeah maybe. As it stands right now, he's not as fast as he was, he's burning bridges right and left, and a team just ousted him, effectively wasting a third round pick! He's not what he once was, man. Who cares why he quit? He quit. Because, he's a quitter, and that's what quitters do. Does Britt have a long history of quitting on plays and teams? You're grasping at straws with this. Perhaps the most damning statement of all.
Cancer or not it's worth a try to have him for the remaining of the season. Don't want to over use Andre. The guy does have a bad ankle this season. Can't have him running full blast to bail matt out all the time. Need a second threat down the field. Even if he does quit on route. Other teams still has to respect him. Perfect decoy to set up andre for a career year.
Well i'm not using Agenda in the literal term. I should clarify that, when I mean one has a agenda against a player. I mean that they are heavily biased against a player. Not that you have a plan in process or anything like that. Just that you dislike the guy so much that it's hard for you to judge anything he does fairly. I'm not even a big Moss fan or anything. I did say he earned this reputation because actions earlier in his career (The Oakland thing) and I see many times if the guy is overthrown or something people go "Oh...there he goes quitting again." For me the difference between Tmac and Moss is that Moss is a HOF and Tracy will be lucky if any teams even retire his jersey. I just respect his game too much to call him a quitter. Great players are usually not quitters and I can't name one other guy that has had the rep of a quitter. Even if he did so in a game, or on a team. We don't know the entire situation. Moss is obviously the type of guy that is rubbed the wrong way by management, he'll go out and do that type of stuff. Also Moss just isn't good at running routes when he's doubled, it's a problem with a lot of WRs when it comes to selling routes and drawing attention. Randy just isn't that. I don't see it, that he's only driven by money. If so I think he'd be playing his *** off right now to get one last paycheck. I also know Moss isn't what he used to be. He's 33 so I expect that, but he's still accounted for. That's why I would not mind him on this team. Also again on that pass, if you really look at it he made every attempt to go after that ball. He stumbled and stretches his arms out before seeing it in front of him. He could dived for that ball yes, and I bet if he was 26 years old he would. I don't think it's obvious that he quit on that play. It's not really grasping at straws but sometimes your body tells you "Don't do that..." right in the moment. He was going for that ball all the way up to that point, why would he suddenly just give up on it? Makes no sense to me especially for a WR.
Well if you meant "biased" that say "biased". I never had an "agenda" neither literally nor figuratively. But I am biased against quitters. And you've admitted that Moss quits...
Probably a moot point, I dunno though...McNair has a preference for "Boy Scouts"...but a little PED action hasn't lessened his affection for Cushing (unless he is the one human alive who believes the "overtrained athlete" story.) The people who are saying "Moss has never had tantrums/been a cancer when he has been winning" are making an unconvincing argument. That's like saying I am a nice guy unless I experience any sort of adversity. Would he be happy coming to one of two franchises in football where he would clearly be the second best/second choice receiver? I assume it is a moot point, but if it fell to us...and the coaching staff wanted him, in an uncapped year...I roll the dice.
I don't know what Moss has left, or what his mindset is. I don't think he would handle the Twxans situation (or their coaches) well. Having said that, IMO we don't have a legit #2 WR. Walter is a workhorse, but he is a 3. Jones is talented but if he's not streaking toward the endzone for a deep threat then he's non existent. His hands are pretty sub par. If OD isn't 'back', then our WR situation is worse then we thought.
I've changed my mind, I think they do need him, besides andre, everyone else is having a very hard time getting open, imagine being able to throw it up to either andre or moss and knowing they are gonna come down with it
I wouldn't mind taking him as a one year or half year rental.. Moss and AJ would be scary good on offense. I say do it. But who am i kidding.. Kubiak or Smith signing a pro bowler? Not gonna happen...
Another reason why the Texans have lost me... Moss to the Titans, Texans should have just claimed him to simply block him from going there. I wouldn't have minded him on the Texans but now Vince has CJ and Moss to help him out.
This is extremely bad news for our two games against them. We had fits trying to contain Johnson even when we brought Pollard up. Now Randy's going to clear Quin and Wilson out on his side and expose the (Texans) left flat for stretch plays all game. Or worse, switch sides and dare Pollard to come up and play the run (or worse, try and cover him). Headache. Seeing as McNair refused to pay for help at a position at need....no wonder.
how did the Texans have a chance to get Moss? Weren't we directly after the Titans on the waiver list?
Titans were before us on the waiver for moss. edit-waiver list for nov 1st before our loss to the colts.
dunno.. but that's what their list said... http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/21003/wheres-your-team-in-nfl-waiver-order
