Could other guys on the team stepped into and preformed his role, obviously not. Kelly on the bench and shown zero since he has been here. Santana helps this team much more than hurts. Do we need a number 1? Absolutely all day. But to say we need to replace Santana with someone else as well? I think first year in this offense and how he picked it up, plus he has put up solid number in really multiple bad offenses. He NEVER has drama and has been for the most part injury free. Yes to this offense needs a number 1 who is a red zone reciever and general playmaker...I wouldnt put that on Moss, I think he has earned an extention. If extending Moss for some reason denotes our offense as going in a bad direction, that sh*t is on Kyle then, not Moss.

I don't think Moss is solid, I think he's shaky. Productive over a long season, but inconsistently so, and you can't put him in the slot receiver 145 target/season role and possibly expect to have a good passing offense. Too many chances on an inconsistent player, and it defines your offense as inconsistent.

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.
