Randy Moss to the Jets? Yes, please…

by

First off let me say that the chances of Randy Moss ending up on the Jets is slim to none. First we heard reports that Moss spent Tuesday with Jets players, then the Jet said they hadn’t put in a claim on him which of course doesn’t rule out the Jets signing him if he goes unclaimed.

But let me just say as a Patriots fan I’m all for Moss going to the Jets. In some ways I think he’s more effective for the Patriots if he’s on the Jets than if he was still on New England.

Why? Because Moss’ skill set is similar to that of both Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards. All are supposed to be “deep threats”, though Moss is the only one of the trio with reliable hands. But Mark Sanchez’s accuracy problems are well documented, and he’s already having problems trying to spread the ball to everyone. What’s the use of having three guys who all basically do the same thing?

Basically with Moss in the fold you’re looking at three volatile wide receivers, all on one-year “prove it” deals, with a quarterback who’s going to struggle enabling any of them to “prove it”. And I’m sure Holmes and Edwards would have no problem seeing their playing time reduced so old nemesis Moss can get in the game, right?

So yes, at the end of the day Moss probably isn’t going to end up on the Jets. He’d have to go unclaimed, then choose to go to them. But if he did it would be like adding plutonium to a concoction that already contains gasoline and plenty of matches. So this Patriots fan says “YES PLEASE!”/

“The New England Patriots are the antithesis of the National Football League right now,” Dilfer said. “They simply come to work. They bring their lunch pails. They try to get better each day, and they try to do their job. At the end of the day they don’t try to explain very much. They just simply tell you ‘Yeah, we did our jobs well today’ or ‘We didn’t do our jobs well today.’ They’re definitely not glamorous. They only have one star on their entire football team — he happens to be their quarterback — and he’s not even putting up staggering numbers.

“Then why are they the only one-loss team in the National Football League? Because the Patriot Way is the right way, and more owners and more coaches around the National Football League need to figure that out and implement the same philosophies that Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick have.

“They don’t have the best talent, but they have people getting better each week with the right mentality. That’s why they’ll always be the class of the National Football League.”

No Chance Moss Comes Back to Pats

by

I’ve been surprised to see how much buzz “Moss Back To Pats” is generating. Of course it’s all speculation, especially since Moss seemed to miss New England so much during his post game press conference.

But why did New England get rid of Moss in the first place? Was it just so they could get a 3rd round pick instead of nothing if we walked as a free agent? Or was it to eliminate a growing distraction from their locker room?

I think both of these factors played into the decision to trade Moss but possibly the biggest factor was the fact that the Patriots offense is evolving into a team that no longer wanted or needed Moss.

Yes Moss is a deep threat who pulls coverage, but as we’ve seen a lot of times that’s just about all he does. The Patriots won quite a few games with Moss doing just that, sometimes without Moss making a significant or meaningful catch. 

But the time had come to evolve on offense, and as we’ve seen over the last three games the Patriots haven’t exactly missed Moss as much as he misses them.

Everyone loves a coming home story like the one we had with Deion Branch, but the option of brining back Randy Moss makes zero sense at this point.

What message would that send to the Patriots organization? It would make it seem as if they only traded him so they could get some kind of compensation for him. While that might’ve been a factor, it was probably the smallest factor of them all. 

Or do they suddenly think that all the Randy Moss distractions are behind him? I doubt it. I loved watching Moss, but he was high maintenance both on and off the field, and the Patriots team now feels more cohesive without him.

The Randy Moss era with the New England Patriots is over. We can appreciate all the great things he did, but we’re never going back. Even if no one else wants him.
