Yes, the Pats and BB would look super smarty if they traded Moss for a 3rd round pick and then signed him for the vet min a month later. That isn't the point. The point is that if you weren't losing anything on the field (or it was negligible) and he has locker room issues you shouldn't want him back. It invalidates all of your previous on field arguments before Moss was waived.

regarding just this year, yeah I made the argument that the Pats without Moss/with Branch looked a lot like the Pats with Moss. I think the Pats with BOTH Moss and Branch would be even better. I'm not contradicting myself. I have been adamant in saying that Moss is in decline and is not close to the guy he was. I still think so.

I was talking about the Pats reasoning for cutting him

I guess the Vikings decided they didn't want a mutinous player on their hands. again, like the Pats, it couldn't have been JUST about the on field situation

I'm not sure why there is this perception about Pats fans regarding this. I would say more than a small majority hated the trade based on local radio stations and "water cooler" talk at work.

Wow. Those deep balls were Moss is like two or three feet below the CB when the ball is thrown and then jets past him and under the ball to take it to the house are absurd. Randy Moss, how does he work?

Also, it really sounds like Childress made this decision unilaterally and there are multiple sources saying the ownership is very angry about it.

Maybe he molested the entire front office and they're afraid of him now.

His highlights are definitely like those of high school prospects, all of them just run nine routes too since they're so much bigger and faster than the DBs covering him. Pretty sick to be able to do that against the best in the world
