Patriots Randy Moss speaks out

We’d rather franchise him than let him walk.

Wilfork sent a shot across the bow by not attending OTA’s. Unfortunately, it seems the best way to get a contract is to sit out training camp or something. Sheesh, I wish Kraft, Inc. would just deal fairly with this guys.

We’ve had a need, we’ve known that Moss is getting old. I guess we expected that Moss would slide over to #2 or #3 when we renewed his contract- so maybe finding a #1 is important. I think going back to the beginning of the decade wouldn’t be a bad idea. We could have a bunch of guys who can catch the ball and whoever is open gets the pass.

rushing from football blog to football blog admonishing writers who have never played in the NFL from offering their thoughts about football players.

Do you limit your blogging qualification threshold to just this site or does that include other blogs, the beat writers for the local rags and/or the national media experts who have never picked up a check from an NFL franchise? Does just Division 1 qualify? How about playing in Division 2 or 3? High school ball? Get over yourself and your “qualifications” for contributing to a blog.

There was no dig at Revis’ ability at CB above, just at his comments towards Moss, which were unnecessary. If Moss was indeed such a slouch, then why would Revis need to blow his own horn so loudly, trumpeting his ability to shut him down? How hard is it to shut down a slouch?

Plus, you might want to read what was written before criticizing. You’d have to be blind not to notice the difference between the way Randy Moss runs, and the way Wes Welker runs which was what the Welker speed comment was about. It doesn’t take an NCAA Division 1player to observe that in a straight line run, Welker can be caught up to pretty easily whereas Randy Moss can’t.

Randy Moss gets statistical respect, but he gets zero respect for the effort he puts into the game. He plays his heart out with no complaining and gets called a slouch. Sure, he’s been nominated to the team of the decade- there’s a high chance people would unfairly vote him to the “Malcontent Team of the Decade” squad as well.

Of course Revis had a great season- that’s indisputable. The fact that he called Moss lazy and a quitter when Moss was playing while injured is what MaPatsFan is commenting on. Everyone is quick to forgive Brady’s mistakes due to his injuries- why do we not give Moss that same gesture? Oh, see my above point. It’s because the media wants to, whether subconsciously or on purpose, portray Moss in a negative light.

And Wes Welker does NOT have burning speed. He has blazing quickness. There is a huge difference and that statement is far from ignorant.

You claim to be watching fooball since the 1970 merger. That would date you at, say you watched football the day you were born, at being in college from 1988-92, or thereabouts. Pray tell which players you “covered” are in the NFL right now?

And for a person who throws out judgment about whether or not we should write about football, and for a person who claims to have played DI safety, you appear to glaze over why Woodson was defensive MVP over Revis. In fact, you even said it yourself. Revis was definitely the best CB in the league. Without a doubt. However, that’s all he did. Woodson was asked to do everything and he did everything better than most everyone else- he had the greatest utility and greatest result out of any defensive player this past season. An MVP, whether it’s offensive, defensive or league, doesn’t JUST do the best at their position- they go above and beyond their position. Chris Johnson was the Titans’ offense. Peyton Manning was the Colts’ offense. Charles Woodson was the Packers’ defense. Darelle Revis was “just” the best CB in the league.

Go talk about your irrelevant history elsewhere.

He didn’t say “I shut down Randy Moss” – that’s arguably true. He said that Moss is a “slouch”. Last time I checked, slouches don’t get 1000 yard, 10 TD seasons. Just because Revis is a very, very good CB doesn’t give him carte blanch to rip on WRs. Just like how your playing whatever level of football doesn’t give you carte blanch to rip on a writer on a football website.

“You may be a Pats fan, but you really have no business writing about football until you learn a little bit more. Revis had a simply amazing season”. Where did MaPatsFan say Revis didn’t have a good season? Revis is a mouth. MaPatsFan pointed it out. Maybe when you were playing in your NCAA Division I team you neglected your studies and didn’t learn to read? I repeat: where did MaPatsFan doubt Revis’s ability to play as a CB?

being a slouch and taking plays off? He must have tripped while jogging his route.
