| Re: Randy Moss Traded To New England For Fourth Round Draft Pick This was an absolute steal.
I never thought of Brady as a dink-and-dunker, so I don't really get the "he doesn't fit into the offense" complaint. And if they are, it's hard to imagine the Pats being set in their ways after bringing in such an incredible athlete. If you bring in a player of his caliber, you adjust the system to utilize his talents, not vice versa.
They did the same thing with Dillon. Before Dillon, they were pretty mich a passing team. Then they brought in an extremely talented RB, and they chose to utilize his strengths. Evidence: Their total pass attempts decreased 10% in Dillon's first year, and their total rushing attempts increased 10%. As a team, they rushed for over 500 more yards with Dillon than a year earlier. They went from 27th in the NFL in rushing to 7th. They went from 8th in passing to 13th.
So, the Patriots obviously have no problem adjusting their system to a star player with attitude problems.
Moss will come in, he will be playing for a winning team with an excellent QB, and he will have nothing to bitch and whine about.
Also, Moroney is a beast. I actually think it's a blessing that Dillon is gone, because Dillon got really old and fat, and wasnt nearly as effective as before. Moroney, on the other hand, looks like a fabulously talented guy. |
