Randy Moss Waived (claimed by Titans)

Jontrem · 11-03-2010, 05:42 PM

Oh and lets not forget we get to play the titans in two weeks, judging on how badly we have covered tall elite WRs like Andre and Calvin Johnson I wonder how badly he is going to burn us?

It would have been nice if this team had added Randy Moss.

Of course, what many teams are in agreement about is that there shouldn't be a long line to stand in to add Randy Moss. He doesn't offer a ton of value to an NFL offense, say the Patriots and the Vikings. And he's a king-sized pain in the rear. And doesn't play special teams.

Completely justifiable to pass on adding Moss right now. Just don't know if I would have done it.

Not sure it would be a 3rd...(anyone know?)
But imagine this....Moss for half a season...for nothing but cash....and a decent pick to use on a center/RB/OLB

I told you guys that Bruce Allen was average.
How come the Titans continue to win and make this deal happen...do any of us think the Skins FO is better than theirs?
They are probably laughing their butts off right now

I really don't think we stand much of a chance against the Titans w/o Moss. They're the best team in the league and it makes a lot of sense for them because they need to chase a super bowl title, not just a playoff berth.

They're the favorite right now to win the whole thing. They were the favorite before Moss, but he helps their cause.

After watching Moss give up playing for the Vikings a second time why the hell would we want him. If we did add him it might (thats a very big might)lead us to maybe one or two more victories but he is not going to carry us to the SB so its just a waist.

one or two wins to a likely 7-9 team is the difference between the playoffs and the worst position you can have....barely not making it and getting screwed on next years schedule and lame draft pick position.

SirClintonPortis · 11-03-2010, 05:49 PM

Shanny and R. Moss would probably be butting heads every damn week. Shanahan wants to see 100% effort from his guys. Moss never gives that kind of effort.

I'm still not sure myself which side to take, but that's probably Shanahan's perspective.

I would rather have Moss full speed 90% of the time than any other WR on the team...he is that good.
(except Santana)

Not to mention, his mere presence would create huge opportunities for TE's and the other WR's and could potentially loosen up running lanes for our struggling running game...UGH!

Jontrem · 11-03-2010, 05:52 PM

I think its worth it JUST for the draft pick honestly. If they are getting ready to admit McNabb was a mistake then why not try to get back a draft pick that we gave away to get him? Remember this was a chance to get Randy Moss and a highish round draft pick for cash and we watched it go right by us......

diehardskin2982 · 11-03-2010, 05:52 PM

complete failure for this organiztion... sad day for me as a skins fan.

Player_HTTR · 11-03-2010, 06:00 PM

I am so glad we did not sign him. He does not fix the team and causes more issues than I would put up with as a HC. Its hard to pass on his talent but its not worth the headache when passes don't come his way and he starts quitting on routes, walking off the field and interviewing himself.

KI Skins Fan · 11-03-2010, 06:01 PM

Mike Shanahan doesn't want any stars. He is way too busy trying to deflate the egos of Clinton Portis, Albert Haynesworth, and Donavan McNabb to take on Randy Moss right now.

A compensatory draft pick for Moss would have been no higher than a 5th, and we're talking the bottom of the 5th, so essentially a 6th. Players with 10+ years NFL experience cannot command more than a 5th. Plus, it would have been for the 2012 draft

I'd rather have our guys then some pecker head that only cares about himself.

Some of you guys seem to be missing VC pretty bad as of late. And a coach holding players accountable, how dare he?
