Seems like those fans “mentally checked out” if they weren’t aware that the whole reason Moss went from team to team was that he was trying to convince some team – any team – to sign him to an extension before the lockout.

So it’s not a question of whether Moss “would not” play at a high level because of lack of motivation – we know he was motivated.

It’s clear that Moss “could not” play at a high level – which is why the Patriots cut him and improved once he left.

All he did for the other two teams he played for was get the coaches fired.

Coaches probably aren’t keen to let him do the same for them this season.

Doesn’t seem to have helped him lately.

Good luck, Randy — I do hope you can latch on somewhere!

Just face it he runs one route .. Arguably the best down field WR to play the game.. He took plays off… Like anyone Who HAS played football has done and if you say you haven’t YOU ARE FULL OF CRAP.. it’s a hard sport to play.. I personally want to sit by every Moss hater when he scores on your team and rub it in accordingly

IMO Moss was able to flourish in NE due to Wes Welker and Stallworth to run freely underneath. With Mike Turner seeing soo many carries it might loosen the defenses up and make them rely heavily on D-line play to create pressure verses sending 6 and 7 people on a blitz. No Def coordinator likes to see there cornerback one on one w Randy or Roddy then to throw Julio in the mix .. Could possibly turn into the NFC’s version of what the Colts used to be or what the Saints are now… Moss will prob cost a hell of alot less than ray Edwards and will prob be more productive. Hey BTW Georgia Dome weather is pretty nice in December opposed to NE ;)

Problem is, most receivers drift that way when they get written out of the game plan. Makes you wonder what the Pats and Vikings were thinking when they decided not to throw to him, but still started him. Doesn’t make sense. One thing about Moss, again, like most receivers- all you have to do to get him motivated is get him the ball. But unless he is a WR who loves to block in the run game, most guys will do what Moss did. If offenses would stop considering Moss a “big” receiver and just think of him as one of the small ones, like Jackson or Jennings, just a speed guy on the outside, with very little blocking responsibilities who just has to demand a consistent double team, especially one of the safties,….then Moss’s value jumps out at you.
all this media talk about Moss’s performance last year is misleading.
just look at the highlights. and that was with minimal targets.
hmmmm. the team that takes him this year for minimum salary and a legit QB, will be playoff bound.

What kind of shape is he in between the ears?

That is the only questions when it comes to Moss.

His physical ability with, say, Jerry Rice’s mental commitment and attitude? Now THAT would truly have been “freakish,” and who knows how great Moss could have been. But the space between Moss’s ears has forever been childish and egocentric, stunting the growth of what could have been something really special.

Moss will only be long-term happy playing with a guy that can get him the ball.
That was not a problem with Brady. A problem everywhere else.

Moss might take the best offer given but that certainly doesn’t mean he’ll be happily content midway thru the season. Frankly, he should eat some humble pie and go back to N.E., where he knows the system, knows he’ll get the ball and will have a legit shot at a title, though I’m not sure Belichick even wants him back.
