So of course this thread had to be made. They have one over the Vikings forum as well. While not defending Moss in any way I just want to point out some things about his skills over the years. Can he still play. Yes. Did he alligator arm that missed catch in the super bowl? How many WRs will attempt to catch a ball 10 feet over their head? The ball was way over thrown, although he could have at least put his hands up. It was completely uncatchable by him. Not even close.
While Moss may seem a shell of his former self, you have to remember how good that former self was. To put it in perspective. Moss had 28 receptions for 434 yards. 15.5 yards per catch. His average YPC for his career, 15.5. He did slack off on TD's, having only 3. For a ratio of 1 td for every 9.3 catches. As compared to 1 TD for every 6.3 catches which is his career average.
FWIW, the following WR's receptions to TD's Ratio
Jerry Rice 1 td every 7.8 catches
Terrel Owens 1 td every 7.0 catches
Cris Carter 1 Td every 8.5 catches
Tony Gonzalez 1 td for every 12.0 catches
Marvin Harrison 1 td for every 8.6 catches.
Calvin Johnson 1 TD for every 9.0 catches
Anquan Bolden 1 td for every 13.3 catches
Larry Fitzgerald 1 td for every 9.9 catches
So what Randy has become is an average WR who can still stretch the field.
Jerry Rice went from a 1 to 7.1 ratio to 1 to 11.7 ratio after he was 35 years old. So it age slows everyone down. Does he still have something left in the tank, yes. He was wide open several plays in the Super Bowl. I don't think Kap was even looking his way. On the right team, he could still light it up, but it would have to be the right team. I don't think the Packers are that team. Had he not done his stint just before Childress was fired maybe the Vikings, but that bridge has been burned. But Randy being Randy, someone might sign him.
