Randy Moss should be considered just for the redzone

TBH I think he's matured a lot in the last 5 or so years, I wouldn't have a problem signing him in regards to his mentality.

 

That being said, I don't think he's physically capable anymore of producing at the level we'd be looking for, so, I'd still rather not.

The rest of us watched the Superbowl and skipped the commercials and jiggling thighs. We saw that Moss was the cause of the interception because he wasn't interested in the play. Chicken? T-Rex arms? Thought it was a running play? Who cares. No team in there right mind signs players that take plays off.

I don't want Moss for a whole host of reasons, but there's no way I think that interception was his fault.

Please explain. 

 

Go back and watch the play. Moss made no attempt to go for the ball. Instead, he was only concerned about getting hit. If Moss had paid any attention to the play/ball, He could have adjusted his route, deflected/caught the ball, or at least defensed the INT.

Did Moss grow 3 feet taller or something? There's no way he would have caught that. And btw Romanowski is an *. He was the one who earlier in the season was saying that Peyton was subconsciously letting the Broncos fall behind so he could lead a comeback.

In addition to putting the fun in funeral, you also put the U in unforgettable ruksak. Interesting picture...I just can't look away.  :hat:

 

 

It kinda sums up the way this thread makes me feel. 

That picture of the merry go round spinning face & teeth could be used in a dentist office to scare kids straight from the perils of sugar & cavities too. Just a weird thought that popped into my head ruksak.

The ball got there in less than a second, and Reed caught it seven yards past where Moss was. There's no adjusting the route. Kaepernick shouldn't have been throwing the ball there, as Moss was surrounded by defenders, and maybe that's why he sailed it.

 

There's just no way that interception is Randy Moss' fault.

 

And I don't really know what to say about the fact that you linked to an article about Romanowski's reaction to the play.

That doesn't change the fact that Moss had zero interest in going for the ball or risking the hit. 

 

Okay for the sake of the thread.. My original point was- If I put my GM hat on, I wouldn't go after players that "let up" at times or had questionable effort on the playing field.

Yeah, I'm sure if you looked harder, you could find a dozen plays that Randy Moss quit on, and you'd get very little argument out of me. He's admitted to it in the past. He acknowledged not playing hard in Oakland. That's part of the reason I wouldn't be interested in him. 

 

I just don't think he did anything wrong on that interception. I think that's all on Kaepernick.

      It will be wild if the Buffalo Bills make it to the SB and play the Eagles

      By chad72 · Posted

      My SB pick (just AFC rep vs NFC rep) on DraftKings, from before the season started, is different than the two I mentioned above for the thread starter. If I reveal it here, it won't happen, like Dr. Strange with his 1 possibility.    I will reveal it before the SB, whether it happens or not.

      I don't find it surprising either. I think the poll doesn't mean that the Colts front office is bad, but it does mean that other NFL executives and coaches don't view the Colts front office as better than average. That's what I think the Colts front office is -- average, and winning should be the key measure. The team has been, on the whole, average during Ballard's tenure. It is an exactly average team so far this season, 2-2, 85 points scored, 85 points allowed.    I'd like the Colts front office and the team to be considerably better than average. That seems obvious. You can talk about a wide variety of reasons that the Colts aren't among the consistent winners all you want, but it's Ballard's job to make them a consistent winner, and eight years in, he's not getting it done.    Yet, we have threads like this one that are intended to bash the "Forum GMs" who are critical of the front office and the team. Apparently, because EJ Speed and some of the other Colts are at least average-ish players. WTH? Shouldn't we expect more than that?

      A realist would say jags stink? 😁   In "Real Time" observations with real time outcomes are what make my takes on this situation a Realist point of view.   Come on. You may want to not give up on this player yet. You make think my trading him is an overreaction. Actually, I agree with you about my assessment of trading him. It is an overreaction to want to trade him so early because I so want him to be our franchise, but it stems from not wanting to get hosed in the backend for not acting upon what seems clearly obvious at this point. The obvious being that this kid doesn't look like he is going to be able to ever give an NFL team a full complete and consistent season for whatever reason and yes, that is what we all have seen in 9 games including you. Do you need 10 games? How about 17 as the Panthers did with young. How many games are too many to wait until we make a move because by then it might be too late. You stated 3 years. That's a long time considering how many years this team has been struggling now.   I truly hope I'm wrong about this guy. I will be the first to eat major crow if I am. All I know is when anyone gets compared to Cam Newton you run a gazillion miles in the opposite direction and our BrainTrust decided to sink their own ship based on what "could be" in terms of his talent when they already knew what it could be and that was Cam Newton and Cam Newton was a terrible QB. Nuff said.

      I’m going with the odds. AR has ability beyond anything the league has really seen before. Still, QBs fail way more than they succeed. AR is super raw and unpolished so needs a lot of playing time to see if he will develop.   Unfortunately that takes time to figure out.  I doubted he would succeed when we drafted him and I see nothing yet that has changed my mind. The organization and staff are behind him and will give AR every chance to become a franchise QB. I hope it all works out but I strongly doubt it.
