I actually agree w/ the general idea that good WRs given enough targets can have a solid production. (idk about Jones though)
And in that light i view Moss production as solid.
You sighted his yds/target stat in a previous thread being around 7ish.
But, 7ish isn't bad for a primary WR.
Here are some other primary target WRs around the same yds/target number as Moss:
Roddy White 179 targets/1389 yards=7.76
Moss 146/1115=7.64
Reggie Wayne 173/1355=7.83
Colston 133/1023=7.70
*Larry Fitz=6.54 (but he had a horrible group of QB limit his production)

I don't see a contract extension to be filling any sort of hole in our offense, instead it just holds the status quo.

Moss's production isn't bad in my view.
And the status quo might get better as Kyle learns how to make better use of his skills i.e. running him deep more and not wasting him running slants and in breaking routes that require physicality and good hands. (Kelly should help in this area)
I think upgrading the passing game can more easily w/ lower risk by getting more production/upgrading our 3rd WR then by letting Moss go and hoping to find an improvement.
