It's not a slam dunk that any team should want him by any stretch. He's already quit on two teams. You're gambling that you're going to get a motivated Moss who wants a contract, versus the guy that has jogged through routes and half assed every run block for most of the season.

The Rams sort of make sense although I admit I haven't watched them play enough. From what I can tell they don't let Bradford throw downfield much, but is he ready to? The problem with having Moss is that even a QB like Favre will fall into the trap of feeling like you *have* to get Randy the ball, even if he is dogging it. Having him changes your offense and and it can turn out very good or very bad, depending on what Moss you get. The Rams have nothing to lose and I assume you could cut him again if it's not working out.

Moss and Manning could be fun to to watch, but I don't think Indy would ever take him. That's not just Peyton's team, that's his franchise. They're not going to bring anyone in that might not be on the same page.

It's a chicken and egg question at this point as to whether it's that the offensive scheme is geared toward dink and dunk because of Bradford not being able to go deep yet (or because the team doesn't want to test him yet), or whether Bradford hasn't been allowed to go deep because the system is geared more toward dink and dunk. Or maybe it's just because they don't have WRs they trust that provide a deep threat. Probably a combination of all of the above.

I've seen most of every game this season, and in the rare situation where Bradford has gone deep, he's had the arm strength and the accuracy most of the time. When not successful, it seems like it's either the receiver doesn't make the catch or Bradford sails the throw a bit. Everything he's throwing short are bullets with remarkable accuracy at this point, so I'd like to see what he could do if he had a deep threat.

But mainly, I'm inclined to believe that if they got Randy Moss, if nothing else, it would improve the run game and help the other young WRs because of the defense having to put a man (or more) on Moss every down. That's why I want him, FWIW.

I don't think Bradford's stretched the field simply because he hasn't had the receivers. They at least did it a little bit when Clayton and Alexander were on the field. All of the healthy receivers are better suited to play the slot.

Speaking of Broncos receivers, is Brandon Lloyd somehow cheating? I don't understand.

Obviously, I hope the Phins claim him, as long as the Phins can talk to him first and he accepts the role they planned for him. He is a risk on any team, and I wouldn't claim him if I had a young team, or a coach trying to establish a foundation.

I wouldn't claim him if I were the Rams or Chefs honestly.

The Colts are such a timing based, disciplined team, I don't see any chance they claim him.

It would be fun to watch the Marshall/Moss circus

Having Moss just as a threat opens the door to SJ running down everyone's throat. Even if they pick him off of waivers, if it doesn't work out, they can just waive him...this is a no brainer for the Rams.

Can imagine how good SJ would be if the defense didn't put 8 men in the box every down?
