hail2redskns Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 5'10" 209lbs. is not a typical size for a number one reciever in the NFL. Santana Moss has been that for our beloved skins over the past 6 seasons. One of the lone pillars of consistency for the team since his arrival, 89 has averaged 1023 yards each year. He has always been a great teammate and someone who has carried himself as a true professional. It is evident now more than ever. Since Moss has been here, he has had to deal with so much drama (new QBs, coaches, offenses, media circus, and no quarterback being able to hit an open receiver consistently.) Yet he choose to resign with the skins even though we have two unproven QBs and are in a rebuilding state. He could have spent his final productive years as an extremely productive slot for a competitor, but choose to stay here in DC. He is under appreciated, and I ask everyone to think of memorable games the past 6 years where 89 wasn't a big factor. All in all, I just wanted to show some love to Moss. I'm happy to have him back in DC, and having a guy like him stay with a team that is rebuilding gets me excited for our team going forward.

Hitman21ST Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Not a bad idea. Love Moss, love what he does, love him for the Monday Night Miracle. Can't wait to see how he does now that he's not the only legit target we have at WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campbellcooleyconnection Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Great idea!! Moss is one of my favorite skins after Rak ,Fletch ,Dirty 30 & Cooley :logo:I was excited he came back to finish career with us :giantsuck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Imagine if Santana Moss actually had a real top quarterback. This guy would have been the wes welker before welker if he had a qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieskin Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Mossy leads by example, he is all heart and guts and now it looks like the skins are developing other players with those characteristics i hope mossy has another 1000 yard season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Missed out on him in my fantasy draft today, was pretty mad about that. Santana's a great WR and by all accounts a great guy. Core Redskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyc Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yes. I don't know if you are aware of this, but he is a very mediocre receiver. He's only had one decent year in his whole career and he's 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braindx Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I don't appreciate his juicing. Where's the proof? His doc was supposedly caught with drugs but that doesn't mean Moss took them. The NFL didn't give Moss a suspension like they have for other substance abusers in the league. (Although I would concede that most athletes in the league are probably juicing; but if there's no proof it's innocent until proven guilty).

skinsfan66 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 An average reciever could not do what he has done and been though here in washington. Above average reciever just below probowl bowl level but could be considered some years is how I would rate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it very odd that his numerous hamstring injuries just disappeared during the years he was rumored to take them. Let alone how the case was just dropped easily. I've heard through the grapevine that there were much bigger players in the NFL that used that same doctor for them and for the sake of the NFL they just let it all go.

Idaho fan Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I still remember being excited when he came over from the Jets. This guy has been CLASS since he has been a Skin. Great leader on the field and lets his play do his talking. I love his attitude and what he does for this team. I hope the younger receivers on this team are watching and learning from a true pro.

elkabong82 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Every player has their faults, but for a guy with minimum faults I don't get why some find it necessary to only bash/criticize him in a tribute thread. Couldn't come up with anything positive at all in a tribute thread? Absolutely had to be the ones to try and rain on the parade? Nobody is perfect guys. To put it another way, since some may not understand why others have an issue with people bashing someone in a thread meant for tribute, how would you feel if you left your work on the going away card your colleagues got for you, among the well wishes there were some who only said "you were late a couple times" or "you weren't the best of all the employees"? Wouldn't you say those people were being inappropriate and/or are jerks? So thank you Santana Moss. From an overall perspective, you've been the only consistent WR here in many years, you've mainly been a class act and worked hard, and you've been productive. And you want to retire a Redskin!
