<blockquote class="Quote"><div><strong class="bc-author">HarveyCanal</strong> said:</div><div>Moss is arguably the second best receiver of all time. But this season, since he has chosen not to run actual routes and just trots downfield like he's doped up on Ritalin or something, he's no better than a steaming pile of dogshit. He really needs to hang it up as he's doing nothing but tarnishing his legacy.</div></blockquote> <br /> That wasn't the case when he was with the Patriots early this year. Moss would pull up on some running plays and short passing plays after his decoy role had already been played, but he was on the field running deep routes constantly, playing almost every snap. I didn't see a single quote from any coach or player indicating that a lack of effort had anything to do with the decision to trade him.<br /> <br /> What I think did it was the fact that long passes to Moss were low percentage plays that were dragging the offense down, a problem that was looking especially acute against the Jets. Brady works better when he doesn't feel obligated to concentrate more on one receiver, and since the trade the Pats offense just keeps getting better as it gets less predictable.<br /> <br /> Moss isn't what he was in 2007, but he's still got major skills. Running "actual routes" was never one of his major attributes.
