Randy Moss is coming back


Recommended Posts

I'm not for or against hiring Moss, that's up to the Panther coaches/management, but you can bet we are on his short list of teams to play for. Our receiver coach (Fred Grave) had Randy at Tenn and spoke highly of him last summer at training camp.

If he does come here, I would worry more about Randy and Steve butting heads, than him interfering with young players development.

I'd expect a guy who had an up close and personal view of his time in Tennessee is more likely to recommend against signing him than for it.

Moss was available last year and we had no interest. Why would we now after a year away from the game?

I would love it and I think it would open things up even more for the offense. We'd be 4 deep at WR with guys that can all make plays down the field and Olsen, hopefully Shock, and hopefully Barny... That's a lot for a defense to deal with.

That being said, I doubt it happens. If we didn't put a claim in on him after the Vikings let him go and never gave him a call all of last year, I doubt much has changed now in terms of our interest.

    • Funny, because I think it's monumentally stupid to go in as a WR and not CB for him for two main reasons. First is that he's very slender, he has a much better chance at having a longer career as a CB than a WR because of that, and if he can't stay healthy as a WR, he's never going to get the huge contracts and play 10 years in the league like he could on the other side of the ball. The second and more important, is that CB is so much more difficult of a position to play at an elite level, you can't keep dipping your toe in and out of the water on that end and expect to be great. So if he's a full time WR, it will be really hard for him to play any CB part time and be successful at it and make it worth their while to let him to continue doing.  But if he's a full time CB, it's much easier for them to have a few select packages on offense to where he gets maybe 10 snaps a game, half as a decoy, half getting the ball in creative ways to get him space to work in and make a big play here or there. Because also if that works while being an all pro caliber CB, he'll get paid so much more than any CB due to what else he offers, which then would probably rival top WR money, but have the chance at a much longer career while doing so. He's also just a better CB than he is WR, so why go full time at your weaker position that is easier to do part time and still have success?
    • Why sign him for him to play 2-3 games before another trip to IR  
    • This game would be 4-1 at worst with Freddie
