Vikings release Randy Moss

[TheoSqua]

Keep in mind it's an uncapped year, so salary is generally not an issue with any team.

Minnesota coaching just baffles me.

They have one of the most dynamic running backs in the NFL right now and they basically just run him straight up the guy 15 times a game and then he sits down. He's getting 25 touches and 3 receptions a game, so it's not like they're under utilizing him. It's just the plays that utilize him are so predictable and uncreative. I'm shocked he's averaging 4.7 yards per game. I guess after those years of seeing Marshall Faulk basically be superman on the field, seeing a similar talent used in such a conventional manner just seems like a waster.

Brett Favre's best asset right now as a 41 mostly-broken QB is his ability to read defensvie schemes and lineups and adjust to those. Childress makes an emphasis this year of Favre not calling audibles on his plays.

Randy Moss was thrown to like 3 times? The last few weeks they keep going to Moss and his route running. There's nothing fancy there at all. No slants, no comebacks, no fades. Just moss running up the field while two guys mug him. Maybe part of it is Moss not wanting to work hard, but seriously, you gotta try to utilize a talent like Moss a bit better then that.

Visanthe Shiancoe is a great TE, Percy Harvin is a fast inside guy. Why is it they seem to only have two plays in the playbook?

The play calling for that Minnesota offense is just maddening.

Calling Kansas City "New England midwest" sems like an incredible stretch to me.

The Broncos have absolutely no use for Moss. Wide receiver is probably their deepest position.

Obviously not in terms of talent or success yet, but they have changed their entire organizational philosophy.

GM Pioli (2000–2008), OC Weiss (2000 through 2004) and DC Crennel (2001–2004) were all big parts of New England's success.

So apparently Moss wasn't released today, at least not officially.

That connection makes sense. I was thinking Cassell and Pioli, but forgot about the others.

If he's likely to mess with Bradford's head - I say forget about him.

I really don't think there's anything that could mess with Bradford's head.

If the Rams get Moss, they instantly become the overwhelming favorites to win the West. Its time to take a chance. I hope Devaney/Spags realize this.

No use for a HoF wide receiver? Really? Saying you're happy with your current receivers is one thing, but saying that the current depth at that position puts your squad in a position to have "no use" for one of the best WRs to ever play is going overboard.

Let's not forget that this HofF receiver has been dumped twice in four weeks. Just sayin'.

Well, they're 2-6, so they definitely have needs. But trust me..... wide receiver is not a concern for the Broncos. Their 2 best defenders are out for the season with injury, they are starting 3 rookies on the offensive line, and have no running back depth. Their wide receivers are really good. It wouldn't make much sense for them to spend a dime on Moss.

I know, but his point was that they have enough talent already to have no use for him (unless I misinterpreted your post Socnorb). There can be no doubt that talent-wise, Moss would make any team better. I guess that's my point.

Maybe my wording wasn't the best. Obviously Moss "could" help any team. Let's just say that the Broncos are probably the last team that should be looking at him.
