I think when we get close to the goal line, Moss is our best route runner. I think thats where his value still lies. In the rest of the field, there's just not enough attention to detail to be effective.
For the record, I would take Santana Moss on my team 100/100 times over a guy like Brandon Marshall, a headcase who does everything worse than Moss. That doesn't mean I think Moss is good enough to take us where we want to go. He's fine for where we are...but again, his contract is expiring.

GT, I understand your argument, I think. He has good #s simply because he's that much of a target, analogous to a basketball player that has a high ppg but shoots a low fg%.
I also understand what others are saying too, he's been our best reciever. I know you've criticized his effort & route running in some games, but I agree w/the others here that say we need better wr's on the outside & his faults will be reduced. Likewise, his #s will drop as well, but I would think w/better options on the field his flaws would be minimized.
