NO SOUP FOR YOU!
Well, it was Al Davis' fault that Moss never got a solid QB in Oakland. In the last two or three drafts, Davis passed up on a total of FOUR potential franchise quarterbacks in the draft, including Ben Roethlisburger, Phillip Rivers, Matt Leinart, and Jay Cutler. Davis even admitted the mistake going into the draft, and promised he would not repeat it again in this year's draft.
Well, Moss got himself a solid QB with the first overall pick. But that didn't change the fact that he was flat-out not happy with the Raiders, which is sad, because I thought the Raiders would be a PERFECT fit for Moss, given the Raiders' history of colorful characters and bad boys (if you wanna call 'em that), such as Lester Hayes, Ken Stabler, John Madden, and Fred Biletnikoff, as well as players whose careers went downhill only to join the Raiders and have their careers reborn, such as Jim Plunkett.
Now, while Moss in the Pats' WR corps looks good on paper, I think Moss' presence there might cause some problems between Moss and his fellow receivers, as well as Moss and Brady, and possibly Moss and Belichick, given Moss' reputation. He may get upset over not having the ball thrown to him very much, which would be understandable, since Donte Stallworth is also on that receiver corps. Now I wonder which 2 Wideouts will be starting this season. Probably Moss and Stallworth.
I think the Pats' acquisition of Moss carries the same risk/reward factor as T.O. going to the Cowboys last season.
