Don't sell Coach Bill short on his ability to take a malcontent and get the most out him. Moss has got to be thinking to himself that if he doesn't want to be in the discussion for the greatest waste of talent ever that he better get himself on board with a quarterback.

This whole deal is about making amends with Brady for forcing him to make due without real recievers over the last couple years. The Dion Branch miscue cost them dearly.

If it doesn't work out they are out a middle round pick. I am glad they took a chance. Ask the Colts if the reciever upgrades amke the Pats more competitive this year. Sufice to say Moss is the best player on the board with the Patriots pick in the fourth round.

I think 105 touchdown receptions automatically elimates any talk of the greatest waste of talent ever. I saw Moss last year against the Ravens what I saw was a WR running patterns with effort and desire but the Raiders could'nt keep the QB upright long enough to get him the ball, Randy Moss will shine with the Pats and return to his old glory as one of the best WR in the game!

I'm not sure Moss's skills have deteriorated that much, he played with Culpepper who could stand on the edge of the beach and miss the ocean with a pass and then with horrible QB's in Oakland...nobody can catch a pass if it isn't thrown to them...what was that stat? Oakland had like 7 Td passes last year with 70+ sacks? Moss can still be an all-star WR, the question is will he behave? The vets on the Pats simply will not tolerate his loafing, I can see Brady going crazy the first time he doesn't complete a pattern. If he's a good citizen, this is a great pickup for the Pats and, like others have said, if he doesn't...well, this should be a wakeup even for him...a 4th round pick?? Still, the Pats have to be careful...chemistry is something that can disappear quickly!

I think Moss's attitude and work ethic can be considered a throwout now. It's amazing what the winning and it's opportunities will do for someone's behavior. Moss is one of the most gifted receivers ever to play and the fact that he is now playing for Patriots will rejuvenate those skills and he will again be a beast. Brady has to be doing cartwheels about now.

They should now be the clear favorites to win the Super Bowl.
