Vikings waive Randy Moss; Should the Rams make a move?

Wow. From the department of news that doesn't make sense, the Minnesota Vikings have reportedly waived WR Randy Moss.  

The how and why are still fuzzy since the news is just now percolating on Twitter, but it needs to be asked whether or not the St. Louis Rams should take a chance on acquiring Moss. 

Obviously the "four pillars" thing is something of an issue, but it's not really an issue the size of the Rams' need at wide receiver. Moss is 33, and still playing well this season, if not a little slower than he used to. 

Sitting at 4-4 in an anything goes NFC West, a player like Moss could be the difference maker the Rams need. Imagine Sam Bradford with an experienced option like Moss. If anything, the Rams ought to take a chance based on how well their defense is playing this season. 

Thoughts?

this is a no brainer

If he’s healthy bring him in…there’s enough positive leaders on this team to get him in Line for a half season.

It’s exactly what this team needs.

But you’re right, it could hurt the team greatly.

True.

It is true you need a good QB but not Moss

The Pats were just fine with him

Vikings are just a bad situation getting worse. I think the Rams could handle him.

If it won't cost you any picks?

I would. We’re thin at receiver. He gives us another element. We have a legit shot at making the playoffs.

I like him 1 on 1 on the outside against a stacked box.

I hate to get my hopes up, though.

by Toddius on Nov 1, 2010 2:11 PM CDT reply actions  

thin is an

understatement especially if L-Rob is hurt too…if he is that leaves us with Danny, Brandon Gibson, and Mardy Gilyard we should 100% go after Moss, honestly we could be a playoff team with him

that's where the four pillars comes in

Peer pressure hasn’t hurt them yet why would it start now? If he tried to drum up controversy in the locker room, could you imagine Animal Jr straightening his ass out. I don’t think this team would let him turn stir the pot. but if they don’t go after him, I won’t lose any sleep.

Think of this: If we can move the ball w/ the receivers we have now. What could SJax do we RMoss emptying the box. If our opponents wanted to stack the box, well then Moss is one on one w/ Amen in the slot and Gibson on the opposite side. Not a bad option.

randy moss isnt my favorite player and he has definitely lost a step but

even with a step lost, hes still one of the fastest guys out there and im sick of watching this team let golden opportunities slip away because they are hesitant to pick up players with character issues. screw it man and go for it. WR is by far our biggest need and it wont cost us much. PICK HIM UP PLEASE

Warner and Moss Pro Bowl

Several years ago I watched Warner just heave some balls downfield to Moss for TDs. Even though he threw them into double coverage, Moss still got them.

This should be the type of player you want to bring in. I also think that Moss would be very motivated in turning the Rams into an instant contender for the 2010-11 season.

Would Kroenke object? Every game for the rest of the season would be a guaranteed sell out.

But I don’t want Blount. 2 more years when Jackson WILL be losing a step, we get Trent Richardson. Just patiently wait until then because SJ will give it his all and get us 1300+ yards this year and the next for sure.

Signed, Rams fan.

by douchiedude on Nov 1, 2010 3:55 PM CDT up reply actions  

No it's not

     Blount was predictably a good value in the draft. We all saw how he played when he was in. Unfortunately for him, too many of us saw only the bad. That’s the kind of stuff that frustrates me. I knew how good he could be but when we judge a young man badly for being an idiot, and rightly so, we limit our options and other teams don’t. It’s a perfect example of the drawbacks of the 4 pillars. I know and don’t need to be reminded of the good things this philosophy has done for us, but it ain’t all good.

by dbcouver on Nov 1, 2010 2:51 PM CDT up reply actions

I was always a fan of Blount.
just because he was/is a knucklehead doesn’t mean he is a good player.
He is a hothead not an asshole, and that makes the world of difference.
He is passionate and fiesty, which is what you want from your players. so if he hits a sucka he gets ejected and loses his gamecheck, but as a backup rb it’s not too great a loss.
I’d only object if we would have got him to be a feature back.
he doesn’t seem like a disruptive force in the locker room and plays hard. you can’t fault that.

I was a HUGE advocate of signing him as an UDFA alongside Danario… These are guys who have 1st or 2nd round talent but some extra reason why they fell… signing them is not a negative to our team… so missing out on Blount and then seeing him ball vs us and in the last game kinda hurts, because with that sort of talent whenever SJax leaves the field people will still need 3 guys to tackle him…

Bradford to Onobun!

by Infemous on Nov 2, 2010 9:22 AM CDT up reply actions  

I thought he looked out of shape. I wonder if he will keep up that production.

I am not a big fan of Blount at all. He couldn’t even get into a D2 college and had to go to Junior College out of high school, and guys are all of a sudden saying he’s the next best thing to Steven Jackson……eh, I am not that easily imprssed after just a couple games.

Besides that, I’d rather have a change of pace guy, even the one guy I didn’t want to draft, can’t remember his name but I think he went to the Lions.

by CoachConnors on Nov 2, 2010 1:32 PM CDT up reply actions  

I love the four pillars

so I wouldn’t say screw it…but one player won’t hurt at this point when the rest of the team is already sharing an incredible bond. He won’t ruin the chemistry, they will just ignore it and the coaches could cut him if he does. Bring him in.

The Vikings traded for him

because they needed a #1 WR. He was wanted and needed in Minnesota, yet he quit trying to play well for them already. After the game he was hugging Bellicheck (sp?) and acting like he was his long lost father.

I don’t think he will be happy anywhere but in New England. Why bring him in just to have him quit on us as well? Unless he would tell the world he wants to be a Ram to work with Sam B., it isn’t worth it. At least our current WRs make an effort.

by andyhawk on Nov 1, 2010 2:32 PM CDT reply actions  

Well good news is

we won’t be playing the Patriots unless we were to meet in the Super Bowl lol. So in other words, he won’t be doing that. Bring him in, it literally costs nothing, and if he messes up then waive his ass like the Vikings did. Plus, they didn’t waive him because he was locker room trouble, it’s pretty clear that this weekend and the press conference was the whole reason.

childress is an idiot

and i think this Moss saga confirms it.

I think Moss had more respect in that locker room than Childress and the fact Childress is such a knucklehead as to not listen to a HOF vet who has inside knowledge of a team they are facing proves it.
Moss was upset because he wanted to beat the Pats and some dumb ass coach didn’t do everything to do it.
I know if i was a HC that no matter how good i’d be I’d LISTEN to a HOF vet with inside knowledge and utilise it.

I'm chomping at the bit

Why not?

Potential downside: locker room cancer and throws the team out of whack

How would that impact the W’s and L’s? I don’t think much. This next stretch is by far the Rams most difficult of the year. I don’t expect them to come out with anything more than 1 win in the next 5 games. Moss makes me think 2-3, and that means playoff chances.

I don't see Bradford being that weak

He’s appeared to me to be the kind of guy who listens to coaches and vets with good advice (Clayton). He’s grown up watching Randy Moss since grade school. I’m sure he knows to listen to Randy but not be his lapdog.

Those who say that Bradford will be influenced by Moss aren’t giving enough credit to Bradford. He’s not Jay Cutler.

Picking Randy Moss off waviers

is there any question? We are desperate for any wide receiver, we’re probably gonna have to pick one up anyway and we can get Randy Moss for free. We have a team full of high character guys if we can’t bring in one guy with all the talent but a bad attitude what does that say about our “high character leaders”

BUT with the season about over for them, maybe not

Cost is a Consideration

If a team doesn’t feel it can make it to the playoff’s, chances are they won’t make a move. Not sure if Jones will part with 4 million dollars when he is going to have to pay Wade to leave this year.

i don't see any way

Randy Moss makes it down to us on the waiver list.

There are 13 teams with worse records than us, two of them in our division.

I agree

but if he slips all the way to us, i trust Devaney to grab him up, i guess we’ll see tomorrow.

As heard of "The Fast Lane"

Even if you hate Moss, you should want him on the Rams.

He’ll be injured as soon as he hits the field.

by JTPirate on Nov 1, 2010 3:15 PM CDT reply actions  

NO NO NO NO

everybody THINKs moss will be good on their team it NEVER works out dont hurt the culture by bringing in a “slouch” on a team full of overachievers

by zaviex on Nov 1, 2010 3:28 PM CDT reply actions  

It does work out

He was good in Oakland when he first came, and was great in New England.

Your hatred of Moss blinds you from his upside.

dont hate him i love the guy

he was awful in oakland i saw him play 2x and he had 0 catches both times and i as at the Baltimore v oakland game where he walked off the field in the middle of a play. He was AMAZING for 1 years on NE look at the last 3 years of stats though and compare them to any good WR.

Your desire for a good WR blinds you from his problems

by zaviex on Nov 1, 2010 3:38 PM CDT up reply actions  

Oh I see his problems

If this were a free agent contract or a trade, I’d be way more skeptical.

I just think the upside heavily outweighs the downside. Like I said above, the biggest potential downside is that he continues to be negative presence in the locker room and gives up on plays. In terms of wins and losses, that may not make much of a difference as the Rams head into their toughest stretch of games.

He does potentially give them a better chance to win. That makes this deal a no-brainer in my opinion.

He had the greatest receiving year ever

and 2 more really good years, one with Matt Cassel. The two years after his great year he had 152 catches, 2,272 yards and 24 touchdowns. What gives you the impression that he was bad? Again, the worse year of those two was with Matt Cassel.

Take the leash off of the offense pleeeeeeease.

by douchiedude on Nov 1, 2010 4:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

Sure he has problems, he might be as good anymore but.

He would gain the attention of the defense, Steven Jackson would have more room to run and the other recievers should get open for once.

by Tevin T. Broner on Nov 1, 2010 3:45 PM CDT reply actions  

Good point

That leaves the middle open for the TEs and Amendola as Moss stretches the safeties deep.

Man, what a wacky season.

I’d LOVE to see Randy in a Rams uniform, even if just for a few games. With the bye week coming up, he’d have some time to develop chemistry with Sam, and regardless of what you may think of Randy, he’d still be a massive improvement to the WR corps.

Just laughing at the Vikes for now, but very eager to see how this unfolds.

by Abrantes on Nov 1, 2010 3:48 PM CDT reply actions  

Do it.

Give him a one year contract, our FO won’t put up with bullshit anyway so if they see a lack of work ethic on the field or locker room issues, they’d just cut him. Absolutely ZERO downside with playoff upside. Plus, you have to think that he’d be somewhat motivated being on his third team of the season.

Take the leash off of the offense pleeeeeeease.

randy moss

this is a no-brainer….Bradford to Moss……absolutely!!! Denario looked like an answer, but Moss makes that pale in comparison. Danny will kill people with Randy drawing deep (and sometimes double) coverage. With our defense, we have a real shot at the division title. And remember, Sam’s got an arm and is very accurate. Look what Clayton did; who wouldn’t think that Randy Moss is better than Clayton? If he becomes a headache, just cut him. But I think Randy has something to prove, and in the the weak West, he will terrorize!

by rams #1 on Nov 1, 2010 5:20 PM CDT reply actions  

I agree

There’s no way that Moss could bring down what the Rams have going on. The Ram’s Locker Room is whole lot different than the Vikings Locker Room. There would be a lot more positive energy and Bradford would definitely would be able to get the ball into Moss’ Hands.

If nothing else this would give us an experiment in deciding how we would be affected by a substantial downfield threat

        I can’t think of a better question to nail down and answer while approaching the 2011 draft.

by dbcouver on Nov 1, 2010 5:44 PM CDT reply actions  

The only argument I can think of for against this is his work ethic

But otherwise, go for it DEVANEY!

I'm not trolling, just being sarcastic.

just do it. he has proven to be healthy his whole career so do it.he improves the whole team on offense every play

by RAISEtheDEAD on Nov 1, 2010 10:00 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yes get him!!!!!!!

All the above points are agreed upon but if you get him, he would be instanly be one of the tenured vets on the team who would have the same effect that Clayton did when he arrived. He wants to compete. He won’t have the same problems with the media here also.
 Even if he matched his production of this year, his numbers match or exceed everyone that’s here now. Having him here would also give Shurmar no choice but to challenge defenses downfield which may in part solve the second half funks. Bradford’s numbers would increase (duh) also making his chances for R.O.Y. better.
And if we can keep Seattle from getting him too!
