Moss Waived by Vikings
-
-
First, we are assuming that "renting" Moss until after the Pats game (and his knowledge of the Pats) was over. I agree that it would be stupid to waste a third round pick for two weeks' worth of help.
I have quietly said all along that Brad Childress is a coach who gets away with stupid things (poor clock management, suspect team management) because his players are that good. He's mortgaged his whole career by NOT developing a QB and trying to ride #4, The Coach Killer.
Can cutting Randy Moss after this short of a period of time not signal what this guy is like in the locker room?
There is no way in hell he falls past the Jets. None of those teams near the Pats are going to allow them to get him back for nothing.
I'll tell you what though. How would you like to be one of those Viking fans who went out and bought a brand-spankin' new Moss jersey?! LOL!

Can't imagine why Moss would go to anybody he can't put over the top and into serious contention. I don't see us fielding a QB who's gonna downfield enough to keep him happy anyway.
On the other hand, it does seem like other teams can take on different kinds of personalities while we're trying to win Miss Congeniality or something.

Shep,
First of all. Good to see you back again.
However, I must disagree with your generalized statement about the makeup of this team. It's incredibly unfair to make that claim about Mangini's roster moves and Heckert's as well.
While I agree that Edwards and Winslow have (or at least had) Pro Bowl talent at the time they were jettisoned from the roster, let's also not forget that Mangini parted ways with guys like Shaun Smith and Brandon McDonald who were cancers without the talent. He needed to change the culture of the team. It was a must.
On the flip side, Mangini also has rid the roster of good lockerroom guys like Kamerion Wimbley, Sean Jones, and Hank Fraley. They just didn't fit his scheme because they were either finished or not versatile.
So the bottom line is that Mangini has rid the team of more than just cancers. He also wants to upgrade the production when he makes moves. He's done that in some areas like Roth/Wimbley, Ward/Jones, Haden/McDonald, Mack/Fraley, Wallace/Quinn, Hillis/Harrison.
To be fair, we're still waiting on replacements for Edwards and Winslow in terms of talent. But as far as locker room chemistry goes, those were tremendous moves. Signing Moss now would be counterproductive for this franchise. If we were where the Patriots were three years ago when they traded for him, then great, make the move. But not now, not this team. He would be junk from the get-go.

I just wanted to stop by and tell you all about a truly lovely autumn day in Wisconsin! It's just *that* sort of day. You know how it is.....the air is cool and crisp, and you can smell a hint of winter in the air. Quite lovely!
Add in the fact that it's been a day of celebration and, yes, soul-shaking laughter; it becomes a whole lot of fun. You know how every-once-in-a-great-while something happens and you laugh and laugh and laugh till there are tears coming out of your eyes? And then right when you think you have yourself somewhat under control, you make the mistake of reading on ESPN or wherever and the laughter starts all over again?
Yes, folks. It's that sort of day.
Now, if you folks end up with this marvelous physical speciman whose mind, unfortunately, resembles that of a somewhat demented and petulant child, I'll still be pulling for you in all things *not* Packer related. Who knows? Maybe the Walrus could control him?
I feel another fit of laughter coming on.......back later!
:lol: -

Sorry man. Can't help it.
Think about it, what if this was happening in the Steeler's organization?

That would be 'beer cheese soup'.

That actually sounds good...
Shit what am I saying.

It's *very* good! Quite easy, too!
Definitely a staple for the more robust tailgaters.
***note*** I said 'robust', not 'rotund'..lol!

Agree.....nice to see you back.

We would be stupid not to at least put in a claim for him. He played the last 4 years in New England without incident, now all of a sudden because he was cut he's this huge cancer. I call BS, if its possible to get him in a Orange and Brown uniform I'd be all for it. He can go against the Patriots 2 weeks in a row

We aren't that smart.
-
just accept the facts that we aren't going to claim him. I know it may seem like a good idea but we aren't going to.
IMO, here are the three most likely teams int he running:
1. san diego-have a good shot to get him and just makes perfect sense really
2. oakland- al davis is crazy, nothing more to say to that.
3. washington-my kind of wild card, but again dan snyder is a crazy owner who will make this move, its a matter of if he falls.

First off, if Moss gets waived, it costs the Browns nothing to pick him up- outside of his contract.
Second- Belichick ain't a jerk- he unloaded Moss for a reason- and now Randy has worn out his welcome in Viking land in a few weeks?
Moss the player-could he help the Browns? Sure no doubt. Moss the clubhouse cancer? Well, I'm pretty sure he won't land here. Now should the Bengals Halfway House pick him up to try and keep the rapidly sinking ship afloat, that would be too funny.

I wouldn't want him as a Brown.
Geez, Minnesota is a mess.

The Browns do not need a locker room cancer like Moss. Don't go for a loser that takes plays off, runs down his team and wishing he was somewhere else. The world wide receivers does not revolve around him. Hope he rots on the waiver wire.
