You know damn well Bill B. is not going to stand for the Randy Moss that played Oak. You can bet your life on that. Plus NE has solid vets to keep his ass in line. I think RM was also down because of the situation he was in. He knew Oak sucked and he's not the type of guy to have in the locker room when things are down. But I can't imagine how good he is going to be with Tom Brady throwing him the rock. This is the first time Brady has a true stud at WR.

First off, I watched Randy Moss sit at the podium when the Oakland Raiders introduced him following the trade, and out of his own mouth he was so happy to be a Raider and get a 'new start.' So, if Randy has been down it's certainly of his own doing, not the Raiders. He knew the situation he was getting into from day one. Oakland brought him there to help turn it around, I'll bet now that he's gone they'll actually make some progress. Secondly, as fast as Randy Moss is, I highly doubt he can still rip off at 4.3, not guaranteeing it, but I doubt at this point he still runs a 4.3/40.

Listen, I don't want to turn this into some Randy Moss hate thread, because that's not the stance I'm really trying to take here. Facts are facts. Moss will probably end up Canton some day, he's had a great career. And who knows, he could have a great year up there in N.E.
I'm guessing, barring any type of injury, he'll get around 1,100 yds.
