Spare me, please, all the wonderful words about what a great locker-room presence, unselfish warrior and all-around statesman Randy Moss was in New England....

...Here's what I find interesting: Think of all the teams with employees who have close ties to the Patriots and needs at receiver. None of them wanted Moss.

Kansas City (GM Scott Pioli, Belichick's right hand-man for a decade, and Charlie Weis, former Belichick offensive coordinator) has a tight end as its leading receiver and could use a deep threat to supplement Dwayne Bowe, Chris Chambers and multipurpose threat Dexter McCluster. No interest.

We're not a complete enough team, and still very young

We’re not quite yet done with the rebuild, so we can’t really afford to go lobbing draft picks for 32 year old veteran WR’s.

If we were legitimately in the super bowl hunt for this year, picking up Moss would be a good move. But we’re realistically still probably waiting on the 2011 season. We still have some glaring holes to fill, just not nearly as many as we did this time last year.

Once we reach that point of it being assumed we’ll be going to the playoffs (instead of our usually – “Holy crap, we could have an outside shot at the playoffs?!? Remarkable!”) – then dealing for those type of vets to put us over the top make sense.

Right now, that would make no sense.

I just posted a new post (probably in the wrong place)

I posted a comment about Freddie Barnes (Bowling Green). 19 TD’s (4 more than Golden Tate), 2nd most yards receiving (behind Danario Alexander), broke Randy Moss college records, did not get a combine invite, went undrafted, and is setting on the Bears practice squad. Fluke Senior year? Bad attitude? Not one of the right 53? Anyone?

Success is when preparation meets opportunity!
