Santana Moss had a lot of catches this year but his big gains were limited. The reason is that he was the only receiver that the Skins had who could reliably run the immediate short routes, catch the ball and then have the potential to do somethingwith it after the catch. However, that is not Moss's game.
If the Skins have S. Moss doing the same thing next year with similar production from everyone else on the roster, count on another year of no playoffs and a sub-.500 record.
Having said that, re-signing Santana Moss is
imperative for a reason that has ZERO to do with stats.
Santana Moss is one of the VERY few WRs in the NFL who is simultaneously:
1. Competent
2. Productive
3. Not a diva
The Skins need to keep him here for the next couple of years to be the mentor/role model for whomever they bring in to be the WRs of the future for this team. Santana Moss has to show them what it means to be an NFL player.
Think back to Crash Davis and Nuke LaLoosh in
Bull Durham...
