Uno Moss

When the San Francisco 49ers signed Randy Moss, I was impressed. It was a nice move. Outside of the Buffalo Bills signing Mario Williams and my homer pick of the Minnesota Vikings adding Jerome Simpson, the 49ers adding Moss to a Super Bowl ready team could be the best addition of the 2012 offseason. Moss' last time in the San Francisco bay area was less than perfect. Some expect a repeat of those sad Raiders days. Many in the media mention his pathetic season of 2010. He played through a coma with the New England Patriots, Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans in one season. Few players have ever had such a disastrous exit from that many teams in one season. All three teams sent him packing with little thought to his cost. The Patriots gained. The Vikings lost. The Titans didn't care. No player has ever had such a pathetic last season, then skipped a season, then joined an NFL team and made an impact. I don't even have to research that. Common sense and physics excludes anything close to what Moss is doing. He's sitting in a nice spot. For a plodding, efficient offensive team with a dynamite defense, Moss could be explosive. Maybe not 2007 New England explosive but a whole lot closer to that kind of explosive than anything that he showed in 2010.

The more I hear the media spout their opinions the more convinced I am that they simply do not get football. They do not understand the players. They have no clue about the game. Even worse, they think that they get it all. The people writing him off now are likely the ones that called him done in Oakland over five years ago. Moss then exploded in New England. No one on this side of the field has ever understood the football player that is Randy Moss. I've spent way too much of my time trying to figure this sumbitch out. I've never seen another football receiver more naturally gifted than Randy Moss. Jerry Rice may be the greatest receiver of all-time but he was climbing a hill to hit the mark that came naturally to Moss. No one has touched that mark. Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson are in his shadow. Moss at his best made others wish they had chosen some other sport. Defenders and receivers. Even at 35, he puts more receiving talent on the field than the majority of the teams in the NFL. So few in the media truly understands the football genius of Moss. He's always been a brilliant football player. He's given little credit for his football mind. Bill Belichick saw it. Even said that Moss was the smartest receiver that he'd ever known. He may show to all that he's an idiot off the field but he regularly shows that he knows what's going on between the lines.

Randy Moss just wants to play football.. Get a ring. Say goodnight and good bye. The 49ers will be a bunch of happy folk this year as Moss is a whole lot of fun to watch.
