I think if you compared Henry to Moss at this stage of their careers you'd find a lot of off the field comparisons. I think a lot of people here would have stayed away from Moss last offseason becasue of his checkered past.... what about now? Do you wish we made that move? I know I do.

I agree with you. the kid has all the tools to be a Randy Moss duplicate. But the kid is trouble. He is only 24 years old. I think it would be different if he was late 20's, and finally realize that this may be his last shot. But at 24, in his mind, he is still indestructable, he thinks he'll always have the "right" to play football. I watched this kid, he is an AMAZING talent at 24, but honestly i just dont think he is worth the POTENTIAL trouble he could bring. We have such a good locker room that I just dont think it is worth it.

now, on the other hand - do you think Moss, Portis, Randel el, Griff, Thomas all the vets would be able to keep him in line?? Personally, I think they would be able to keep this kid in check, but they wont be around him 24-7, which is when this idiot gets himself in trouble. Now, take a 24 year old kid, with money, with the issues he has and put him in the northern va, DC area. Do you honestly think he is going to be able to stay clean?
NO way!
