Again we need to get a number 1, but for where we are at, he is the only reliable reciever we got, numbers show that. To improve the passing game look to scheme, QB play and lack of other WR sorrounding Moss.

I think that's an important observation here. If he's open short, the QB is going to hit him, and that's going to result in high targets. But it's the same argument against Brandon Marshall: if those targets result in catches, but not first downs, big yards, or points scored (and they didn't this year, at least), then all they are is downs that contribute to a below average offense.

I think getting high reception totals is a skill that some receivers have and others lack. But I don't at all think that all skills are valuable. Moss, in his current role, has a skill of getting open and commanding the football that does not help the Redskins win any games or score points to get closer to winning games.

Like I said, in the red zone he's a precise route runner that helped him score six TDs this year. That's not nothing. It's something. It doesn't make up, I think, for the rest of what he does.
