Randy Moss Waived (claimed by Titans)

SmootSmack · 11-03-2010, 06:10 PM

I would like to have seen him in a Skins uniform for the remainder of the season...but this isn't some major disaster that we didn't sign him. Think some people are going off the deep end here

For real? No way.

On this fourm, never.

RobH4413 · 11-03-2010, 06:17 PM

A few things I alluded to earlier...

1) Moss probably commands some sort of leverage towards sitting out if he doesn't like the team. I can see him not wanting to deal with the, "Shanahan Factor" for lack of a better term (maybe Cardiovascular Factor?). He probably sent out a message to all the teams that will attempt to sign him. If I don't like you, I'm going to talk about how much I love Tom Brady and how much I had your coach.

2) This probably wasn't a good fit for the organization. Part of it has to do with Randy Moss' mental state. It doesn't mesh well with this team. Yeah, I've heard the "Not in our long term plan" argument... but neither is Joey Galloway (or Santana for that matter). He is a potential short term disaster, and that carries over to the credibility of the coach. Just look how stupid Childress looks right now. You think he's coaching the Vikings next year?

3) Who cares about a late round 5th round pick. It's not worth anything... lets just move along...and suck it up. It's not the end of the world, it's not the death of society.... nor is it the end of this season. Pretty much nothing has changed. In fact... Nothing has changed.

4) Yeah, I too entertained the idea of McNabb to Moss plural. It's fun to think about... but so is Jessica Alba. I'll go back to thinking about the latter.

Yeah who needs Randy Moss , we have Roydell Williams and Joey Galloway

They conveniently forgot about Shanahan wanting guys who give their all. Moss would refuse no matter how much nagging he receives. Bad blood is not good for the locker room and is a REAL distraction.

The season is over!!! Why isn't Cerrato here making knee-jerk free agent acquisitions anymore?!?! Shanahan and Allen obviously don't know what they're doing!!! We should've given up X amount of draft picks to acquire a WR on the downward trek of his career!!! This team is doomed!!! Ugh I'm going to weep, get high and drink PBR. Peace bitches.

aceinthehouse · 11-03-2010, 06:32 PM

Not only did we NOT improve our offense or give Mcnabb a true #1 WR target,we allowed the Titans to be better and improve.

We also play the Titans in 3 weeks on the road. And we haven't really played very well against 6'4" or big receivers in case you haven't noticed. (see Calvin Johnson and Andre Johnson)

I didn't criticize Shanny for cutting B.Banks and starting him immediately
I didn't criticize him for the Fat Albert fiasco all off season
and i didn't even criticize him on pulling Mcnabb (yea,I think I'm the only one...lol)

But this is just absolutely and monumentally freakin' retarded Shanny...

You were willing to trade for moss with new England before the Vikings traded a 3rd rounder for him. (we were offering less) as reported by many sources.

But you wouldn't claim him off waivers for free,block the Titans and give the offense 2 weeks to work him in the system for a Playoff run.

Not to mention give Mcnabb a true weapon for when he adlibs on throwing the deep ball.

Shanny..I can officially say..you're a freaking moron and you're FIRED!!

Oh..and you'll tryout "coke head" Matt Jones,but pass on perhaps the 2nd greatest WR to ever lace them up.

Yea,lets stick to Galloway and Roydell

Well guys...it was a nice run,while it lasted.
One thing is for sure....you won't have to worry about me posting 3 game look a head Threads.

Shanny is using this season to put his stamp on the team....Playoffs are obviously not what he is after in his tenured season.

Our FO is obviously clueless and flabbergasted from all the D.C. media stories.
They can't handle it.

Tme to hire Russ Grimm and fire this stupid POS.

I get it...our Oline sucks....but we cant improve that midyear...but we are given a gift to pair up with McNabb and we pass it up because of "behavior?"

C'mon...Haynesworth should have been playing all year...but because Shanny can't manage anything but 100% compliance, he is benched...you have an all star WR with a big mouth....outside of Santana...your wide recievers basically suck...except one up and comer...perhaps...and you walk away?
That is totally nuts!
If he hasn't pissed off McNabb enough, this week...he may have just slammed the nail in the coffin...

So not only do we have issues at oline, we still have WR....probably will have a major issue at QB....and that is just the offense...oh yeah...also RB, at least we have TE covered...lets wait until Shanny pisses of Cooley...that would be amazing.

Not really because without a good ol RM is useless just like the fancy rims.

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

Shanahan said Monday that he would consider Moss, which is more than the outright "we're not going in that direction" response he gave to Ed Werder and others when asked about TO before the season. I heard Schlereth talking last week about Childress's credibility issues, and he brought up (as he does frequently) how Shanahan created his own credibility problem in Denver when he let Steve Atwater go after the '98 season and signed Dale Carter, who lacked some respect around the league. Given the example he tried to make of AH this year, I'm guessing he considered that he risked going down the same path if he signed Moss, especially in light of the fact this is a week in which his judgment has been a tiny bit of an issue.

You saw how Moss takes plays off. The media reports regarding AH after the Bears game had Shanahan proud of AH because he gave 100% effort. Taking plays off means not giving 100% effort, and Shanahan hates players like those. If Devin Thomas

I'm not disagreeing with you. Randy Moss is not a Shanahan-type guy, no doubt about that, and that is probably the main reason why he passed on him. But I was just suggesting that he may have had in the back of his mind one of the more notable instances in his career when he went a little bit off his own beaten path, and the response he apparently experienced in the locker room. It's possible, but it's still just my conjecture. He and Bruce may have simply decided that it wasn't a good football decision. I would have liked to see Randy Moss here, but I'm okay with the decision to take a pass, regardless of the reason.

Agree, I mean how many of these type of moves do we make before we learn it's not as good as it looks, Deion Sanders, Stubblefield, Wilkinson, Jason Taylor, Bruce Smith, AH, McNabb, and so on... I'm sure you all could add to this list. But remember how excited you were and then how disappointed?

Don't sweat this one.

SFREDSKIN · 11-03-2010, 07:20 PM

Did the Redskins really need a 3rd drama? Don't we have enough already? You guys want the Redskins to become Dallas East? I'm glad they didn't go after him, now they should promote Austin from the PS.

aceinthehouse · 11-03-2010, 07:23 PM

You guys above can pretend if you want,that we made the right move and hopefully we did.

But lets hope we aren't discussing this again when we lose to the titans 31-17 and Moss has 6 catches for 158 yards and 2 TD's cause we can't cover him.
OK?

I think it was a 'terrible" football decision,to not claim moss.

Now,the titans will be getting a compensatory pick as well,when they decide to let Moss walk next season and probably net a 3rd rounder or so...

Something,we also need. Draft picks to build this team.

This wasn't a bad move...this was a very stupid..STUPID decision,to not claim him off waivers. imo
