I do not believe that any amount of Shanahan magic is going to make Moss a valuable player like he was in 2004 and (particularly) 2005.
Most players are like Moss in that they keep playing until they just don't have the desire to play anymore. Maybe Samuels would have been like this if he had the option to play longer. But in his ten year career, he was still our best lineman when he went out, and that's pretty special.

I think Moss will have a good year next year. In fairness to Moss, he needs some time to get separation especially since he was the only wideout that had to be accounted for. He didn't look done in Detroit.
When you have a 3 step drop offense, a little guy isnt' going to produce (See Randle El and Moss' numbers from last year).
