  • i'd take Moss or Owens in a heartbeat...preferably both...with AJ Green as our #3 WR (!). that would be crazy!! and the kid would undoubtedly learn a priceless amount of knowledge from those guys just in 1 season.

    that bit about those guys w potential character concerns playing up to the team's potential...lot of truth in that. they're both better than Mass and Robo...who certainly aren't teachin anybody SH*T about how to be dominant.

    i'm eager to see what Colt and Seneca can accomplish vs a sideline happy real estate utilizing NCO. with Ben W over the top and a deep ball respecting defense Hardesty/Hillis can seriously gash any defense out there...not to mention those guys can all haul in wounded lobs as good as anyone in the league...not since webster slaughter have we had a legit #1 w consistent hands w awesome body control and great field awareness. K2 and BE had some traits, missing others.

    i'm willing to bet Randy and TO would both happily step out of bounds for us, supplied be quick chain moving chip shot 1st downs...all year long...to the tune of about 1K yards a piece, while the rookie gets about five benjamins himself.

    crazier things have happened.

  • Moss also wants to come back to Minn too. trouble is - nobody told him they havent got the QB spot settled yet.

    besides whats loyalty got to do with it?

    Yeah he seemed pretty washed up last year.

    The only way it would makes sense is if he signed a contract like bobby engram did last year and competed for a spot. Which he obviously won't.

    Let's face it we have to get better at wr. If we had any good wrs last year we would have won 3 or 4 more games. All our wrs are number 3s. They are slow. All I keep hearing is we won't be very active in free agency. I don't think you can count on a rookie to make a huge impact. I hope we at least sign a veteren wr.

    I'm not so sure WR is such a huge position of need. The system last year wasn't what I would call WR friednly and WR's often need a few years to adjust and truly come into their own. We saw flashes of Robiskie looking like a quality NFL WR towards the end of last season.

    This team needs D Linemen. D linemen and more D linemen. The cupboard is completely bare. I'd draft a D linemen in the first two rounds and hopefully sign a couple. Justin Bannan is one I'd look at in FA. Also Mike Patterson from the Eagles.

    One of the few teams left he hasn't burned a bridge with and has no ties with.

    plus randy and his agent probably sat down and figured out what teams have a need at wr.

    Exactly.

  • Moss has been his own worst enemy throughout his playing career. His f ups in high school kept him out of Nortre Dame and cost him his full ride at Fla State.

    His attitude cost him professionaly at Minny, OAK, NE and Tenn. To his credit, however, he has responded on the field after facing his self-inflicted adversities. In college he

    had big numbers at Marshall that earned him all-american honors. His first stint with the vikes resulted in him being named rookie of the year and he had several all pro

    seasons. Oakland had bad attidude written all over it from day one. He redeemed himself for a few seasons at NE before the wheels came off. And last year back at

    Minny and Tenn were classic Moss f ups. Say what you will about his anti social tendencies, he HAS been a come-from-behind-guy his entire football playing career

    and his future HOF numbers back this up. I gotta believe he has the juice to put up some decent numbers in the twilight of his playing career. I'd love to see the Browns

    give him the opportunity, baggage and all.

    Andre Rison was never the receiver that Moss is. Plus, Rison was supposed to be a FA at the peak of his career when the Browns vastly overpaid for him causing Modell to go into debt over his acquisition. Modell was desperate.

    Here, it is Moss who is desperate, and I doubt that the Browns or anyone else will be willing to vastly overpay for him.

    Nevertheless....in the between the ears category, he and Bad Moon might be an apt analogy.

    My point exactly, Gip.

  • I still refuse to believe that someone 3 years removed from having the greatest WR year ever can't put up decent numbers. Pending on his price, I wouldnt mind the Browns taking a shot on him.

    He's probably the most talented and physically gifted WR ever. Too bad his attitude was his heel

    Honestly i think its his roots, he is from W.VA and where he grew up most people there root for the Cleveland Browns believe it or not...I also have a few people i know who grew up there that are good friends with both Randy and Jason Williams (Former NBA Point Guard),they can be very hard headed and stubborn but the most important thing to them is loyalty and respect..I Believe the Patriots at once gave it to him thats why he was so succesful there,but people have a right to there own opions...

    I can say that it may be a terrible move for Cleveland to sign him but if you gave him the right amount of Respect from a fanbase and organzation,(something Cleveland is known for) then it may actually be able to work..You are talking about arugably the greatest WR any of us may ever see outside of Jerry Rice,Moss has better Highlight material but not as great of a career thus far..But on talent alone he may stand alone,so all in all would i give it a chance, yeah if they circumstances were right..We are desperate for a Reciever

    I've heard about a lot of Browns fans in WVU, as well as Cowboys and Redskins fans, so I can definitely see him having some Browns fans roots.

    And I agree, if we're talking about pure talent alone, he may the most perfect physical specimen in football. Too badhe can't put it all together.

  • is moss too big of an if for the browns? i think he is. as far as why he targeted the browns? him and his agent probably sat down and looked at his best options/teams in need of a starting wr. he's burned down alot of bridges.

  • wooord.

    but whats the worst that can happen? we finish with the 6th worst record in the league?

    i can't say that i'm 100% against it. but i just keep thinking about how moss went wacko on the pats last season. and they're a good team. i just don't see the worth in bringing a major risk like him here. the browns don't need to waste any money and every roster spot is important.
