Re: What this all means for Moss?
I think the added depth could help Moss only indirectly. What I noticed most out of him last year were the dropped passes. Statistically, I don't know if it was the worst among starting WRs or anything like that, but what I do know is that in way too many 3rd and long situations when Moss got his hands on the ball he dropped it to end the series. As many have pointed out the passes from JC aren't always perfect but in the NFL if a "#1" WR can just get his hands on the ball then it is supposed to be a catch, right? So the other targets on O might get him open for a bit longer but he still has to make the catch to be dominant.
I've been wondering how reactive Zorn might be if Moss has really terrible performances. Would Zorn bench him for a quarter or maybe even a full game if the replacement is productive? I say this because there were games last year when Moss played so poorly I thought he should have been benched, but then the question of who to put in was always hard to answer. Maybe, if Kelly and/or Thomas develop quickly we'll see a type of rotation emerge where Moss only gets to play when he's performing.
Beyond this year I hope Moss is not our #1 WR. Overall he seems to make a lousy possession WR due to his small stature, sketchy hands and overall inconsistency.
