Apparently Randy Moss threw out an invite to help out the team (not sure in what capacity). Looks like it was declined.

Quote

The Carolina Panthers seem to be in a bit of a spiral downward this season. After finishing 15-1 in 2015 en route to a Super Bowl appearance, a 4-8 record in 2016 isn’t what anyone expected. The losses would be bad enough, but as they pile on, other nasty things are finding their way out of the cupboards as well.

Take for instance franchise quarterback Cam Newton sitting over not wearing a tie when the team traveled. That sparked immediate outrage and conspiracy theories abound. Now retired wide receiver turned analyst Randy Moss is making some news of his own.

Randy Moss on MNF: "I live in Charlotte ... We want the Carolina Panthers to get back on track. Whatever it takes."

 
 

 

Moss threw out a really great sentiment for Carolina that could have been turned into quite the motivation. Moss, known for being a bit of a prima dona during his playing days does have a certain fire to him that helped set him apart from others. That fire could in turn be used to get the Panthers out of their funk.

According to Moss though, Carolina turned down Moss’ advances.

@LibbyWeihsmann ive sent the invite and thts wht frustrating!#egos

Arrogant as hell. Despite Moss' diva reputation, coaches have raved about his football intelligence. Plus, when you're a young player and a guy like Randy fuging Moss is willing to come try to teach you a thing or two you fuging listen.

KB has regressed this year. Funchess hasn't improved. What's it gonna hurt to let Randy fuging Moss talk to these guys? Afraid you're gonna hurt Ricky Proehl's feelings or something?

I bet even Ricky would've welcomed this. He would've been a service to at least the WRs.

If he's offering to help the WR's, then yea, we could use his help. KB still can't run or finish a route to save his life, and Funchess definitely needs the help. 


Randy Moss was a terrible route runner, don't really want him teaching anyone how to run a route. Now if he can teach someone to be 6'4 and run a 4.2 in pads then I'm all for his help.

Lol, what?  Randy Miss is one of the best receivers of all time.  I'm sorry, I think he ran routes just fine.  Jesus.

Randy Moss ran like one route for the majority of his career, the streak and it worked because he was an absolute freak of fuging nature. If he had even half of the technical route running ability of a guy like Jerry Rice he would have shattered every damn receiving record by such a large margin they would have renamed the position after him. The dude coasted on his natural ability for a huge chunk of his career.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
