Well, it was more an "at the time" thing. In the context of who Santana Moss has been since 2007 -- a guy who was behind Antwaan Randle El in the third down progression -- his 2011 season was disappointing (in terms of catch rate), but not totally or inexcusably below expectation.

I think you hit it on the head when you allude to the fact that the difference between Moss in 2010 and Moss in 2011 is health and natural aging. I just happen to disagree on which season was the aberration. I think Moss was in rare health in 2010, which allowed him to be effective late in the season and hit marks in receptions and yards and touchdowns that he hadn't hit since earlier in his career. Also putting a lot more "good" tape out there in the process.

Which caused the Redskins to vastly overpay him that offseason.
