I'm hoping you're right. Corey Dillon had a crappy attitude before he came to New England because he was stuck on a team that sucked. While that's true for Moss too now, he's always had an ego. So I don't know if he'll be able to drink the kool-aid enough to mesh. The Eagles got wrecked by this sort of thing two years ago and I'm hoping the Pats don't do the same.

TO is a whole different animal compared to Moss; I don't know why people make that comparison. TO got pissy over not being paid enough, thats the entire reason. Moss got pissy over not winning (and to some extent for not getting the ball enough). He's taking a huge paycut just to get the hell out of Oakland and get to NE.

Yeah his stats declined the last 2 years but he had high school caliber QBs throwing him the ball, and was double and sometimes triple teamed!!!!!!!! you won't be able to double team him on the Pats, not with Stallworth and Watson running free. And the running game is substantially better than Oaklands. Teams will need to bring up safetys to stop the run, not to double and triple Moss.

I like Stallworth, he proved his worth in Philly as a deep threat. He just can't stay healthy.

Yes the New England passing game IS greatly improved.

But this whole argument is about the men behind those two...which the fact remains, are still all underachievers and have proven NOTHING.

That's really where the difference lies. What will Moss produce in NE? He's the best mix of athleticism, hands, field vision, and speed I've ever seen along with Rice and Sharpe. If Randall Cunningham can put up the numbers he did, Brady will that great rushing attack behind him and all of the options spread out is going to have a career year.

Moss'll never be a 100 reception guy but on a team serious about winning, he can find the endzone as good as anyone.

TO's a completely different receiver in how he uses his size. He uses his size vertically, not horizontally. He's slow enough to be contained by a select group of NFL DB's.

Moss is unstoppable when he wants to be.
