You can have #1 WR production without the issues (Andre Johnson, Fitzgerald, Wayne, Welker etc.) or with issues (Randy Moss, TO, Ochocinco etc.)
The better question is, would we rather continue developing Armstrong, leaning on Moss (Santana) for however long we have him and improving our depth through the draft or renting Moss for a year with all his known issues? And just to keep things in perspective, McNabb was finding people when the OL gave him more than 2 seconds to get rid of the ball.
Would Randy Moss help? Undoubtedly, but is he worth all the additional baggage? Not for me, but that's just my 2 cents
I think Randy would be a stop gap. Personally I'd rather invest the $ in o-line. As you stated the WR stats would be a lot better if Donnie wasn't on his ass 90% of passing plays.

quick question, if we claim moss of waivers...does that mean we're last on the waiver wire with merriman?
Merriman will clear waivers

Santana would still be the best Moss on the team, but Randy would be an upgrade over Galloway.
Are you joking?

This is interesting:
One more reason to claim WR Randy Moss: team that loses him this off-season in free agency could get back a compensatory draft pick.
Very excellent point.

Are you a #1 WR by chance?
:cheeky-sm
No, but i did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. :sleep:
lol.... Ok not every #1 is mental but it's about 50/50. Maybe even more then 50/50 and I'm basing this off the fact that WR's back in the 80's and early 90's were for the most part well rounded players who were confident in their abilities and simply played the game. Sometime after that we started seeing all the big celebrations and dance moves, and that moved to the egotistical WR which constantly needs to up oneself each time on the field. Yes Ocho and T.O. are the biggest prime examples of this type of WR.
I can only hope that future WR's don't buy into this and think they are the best and have to be a better showmen but it seems like the trend will continue... Dez Bryant, the Eagles Desuan Jackson running his mouth about McNabb to the media...etc. etc.

Apparently, there's a giant in the room and we didn't see it. I sure didn't until I saw the waiver wire order on ES.
The Dallas Cowboys.
Yep, even though they're stacked at WR, I'll be willing to be 100000000000000000000000 dollars that Jerruh has always wanted Moss and will pounce now that he's in a perfect position to do so.

There has been a perceived rise in #1 WR's with narcissistic personality disorders like T.O. and Ochocinco. But it's a small minority that is just exposed more on ESPN/NFL network and the like media compared to the past. Decades ago it was guys like John Jefferson and Butch Johnson who were the same but did not have the exposure that these current stars have.
Randy Moss is a special example however because I actually think he has a mood disorder and needs some clinical intervention...
