Randy Moss to New England

Adam Schefter of NFL.com reports that the Oakland Raiders have traded troubled WR, Randy Moss to New England for a fourth round draft pick.

Randy Moss was slated to go high in the 1998 NFL draft, character issues allowed him to fall to #21 to the Minnesota Vikings. His rookie season, it began to look good for the Vikings, Moss had a big season, the Vikings came within a game of meeting the Denver Broncos (who would have defeated them handily..) in Super Bowl XXXIII.

Then it went bad, Moss attempted to run over a traffic control officer in downtown Minneapolis while there was marijuana in his car. He admitted to sometimes taking a play off. Idiot coach, Mike Tice, instituted the "Randy-Ratio" in an attempt to get the ball to Moss enough times in a game, sort of saying "screw you" to the rest of the offense.

By 2004, Moss had worn out his welcome as the Vikings fell into mediocrity (or worse), and the Vikings traded Moss to the Raiders for some guy named Napoleon. Moss was nearly invisible in Oakland the past two years, though they didn't have a QB who could get him the ball.

Now Moss is off to the New England Patriots. I like the Patriots and what they've done in the offseason. My complaint about the Pats last year was that they didn't have any good receivers. Assuming Moss can get his head out of his ass, they now have a great receiver.

If any organization can straighten out Moss, it's the Patriots. I'd say it 50-50 between Moss having a productive year or being benched a'la Terrell Owens in Philadelphia. I think I'm being genorous towards Moss.

The Globex Corporation sponsors the Pro Football Reference page for a little known WR named Ed McCaffrey. In the sponsorship section of the page I state:

(McCaffrey) has three Super Bowl Rings, more than Keyshawn Johnson, Randy Moss and Terrell Owens combined. See what happens when you shut up and let other people touch the ball, too?


If Randy Moss keeps his mouth shut and doesn't complain when other people touch the ball, he'll win at least one Super Bowl. The Patriots are too good. Moss is just too good, maybe the most physically talented wide receiver to ever play the game. It's up to him now, he can't blame anyone else if he fails in New England. New England won three Super Bowls without Moss. If they can't win one with Moss, it will be pretty obvious where the trouble is coming from.
