Randy Moss Waived (claimed by Titans)

[SBXVII]

Look at it this way....

Any and all talented #1 WR's in the NFL all have personality issues. I think its just an era thing and all the WR's that are big, talented, and money in this league have issues, in this day and age. But more importantly its how the HC's deal with the prima dona's.

All #1 WRs don't have issues. Just look at last night's game with Andre Johnson and Reggie Wayne.

Larry Fitz has issues? Anquan Boldin has issues? Puh-lease...

he didn't have issues in new england untill they wouldn't pay him. give him a career ending contract and tell him to go long!

Looks like Merriman will be waived today according to Jay Glazer:

# Merriman is due $1.7 to 1.8 million remaining on this years. He should have no problem passing. If nobody claims him, longshot, he'll be UFA about 1 hour ago via ÜberTwitter

# Moss may not be only waiver wire name 2day. I'm reporting S Merriman slated to take physical w Bolts 2day.Once he passes he'll be waived too

Man I don't know if I would want this clown on the team. If we don't win he becomes a huge problem!

That really is an ignorant statement. Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Miles Austin, Steve Smith (Giants), Greg Jennings, Calvin Johnson, Wes Welker, and Hines Ward are all #1 wideouts or former #1's in Ward's case who don't really have personality issues. Moss, T.O., Ocho Cinco, Brandon Marshall, Santonio Holmes, and Vincent Jackson are the only guys who really have that mentality imo.

Plus, if he clears waivers, they still have to pay the remaining $3 million left on his contract this season while the team that gets him can pay him the minimum.

This is interesting:

One more reason to claim WR Randy Moss: team that loses him this off-season in free agency could get back a compensatory draft pick.

Perhaps ignorance to one person is perception to another. If I'm not mistaken Boldin had his issues, Fitzgerald had someone ahead of him who had issues prior to this year... wait wasn't that Boldin? Dallas may have meant for Austin to be their #1 but Dez Bryant or Roy Williams would be my #1 and they have issues. Steve Smith wouldn't be the #1 with the Giants if Buress was still on the team, Buress = issues.

I think a lot of the names given are teams in the same boat as the Skins, we have a bonified #2 WR, like S.Moss, but not a #1. Any of the teams with a Rookie WR need to be given time for their play to swell their heads. As with any player who is one of the best at what they do, they have issues of some type.

Are you guys NUTS! The Patriots know it. Now the Vikings remember why they got rid of the guy the first time. He does not go all our every play. He loafs. If it's a running play, he loafs. If he think the pass is not coming his way, he loafs. He shows his ass to the crowd. The Redskins are already dealing with the Donovan McNabb and Albert Haynesworth controversy. They do not need another. This bum is too old and lacks effort. NFW.

This all boils down to what our definitions of #1 wideouts are. You apparantly believe a #1 wideout is a mythical being, that is consistently awesome week in and week out. I believe a #1 wideout is a guy who is just consistent. If he catches the majority of the targets thrown at him, and is always there on Sundays, well he's a #1 in my book. So by my definition Moss is a #1. And there's more names that could probably be added to that list. Roddy White is an elite wideout whose' name could go in there with the Andre Johnsons, and Dwayne Bowe/Steve Smith of the Panthers could probably join the T.O.'s of the list.

All I'm saying is that just because a select few #1 wideouts (they are #1 in my book, I'm not gonna debate that with you) have that I want the ball mentality, it doesn't make it right to generalize all wideouts like that. I'm sure there are plenty of guys on that list that would take the ball less if their teams won games.

Are you a #1 WR by chance?
