terrifNick21 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Who's the other "legit target"? Gaffney? lol "Legit target" doesn't mean Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald. Gaffney's a solid vet who has sure hands and is coming off his best year as a pro. He'll help out the younger WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibbidoe Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Is it safe to say that SM89 is the best WR we've had since The Posse was split up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x96bryan10 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Man i would love if we could just fill this thread with moss highlights each of those vids were awesome many great moments from that man. Best Redskins over the past 10 years?I cant think of any other player who has given me so many great moments the past few years. ST excluded.

Symbol Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Is it safe to say that SM89 is the best WR we've had since The Posse was split up? Not sure, Henry Ellard, though he wasn't here long, was a beast as a receiver when he was here. Though Moss is definitely one of the top 5 receivers of my memory since I first started following the 'Skins back in '78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tibbidoe Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 IMO after the posse we haven't had a WR better than Moss. I agree. Symbol brought up Henry Ellard, and he WAS good here. But he was only here for 4 years (3900 yds, 3x 1000 yds, 17 TD). Moss has been here 6 years (6100, 3, 33). If he's not the best since The Posse, he is at worst 2nd best since then. Plus Moss coming back this offseason when he was free to leave just makes me rank him 1st on principal alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejay183 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Was at the game. My favorite memory at FedEx Same here. I was so pumped before, during and especially after that game. I cant wait for this team to get good again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 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. When you have averaged over 1000 over the past 6 seasons, while dealing with Brunell, Campbell, Collins, McNabb, Grossman and possibly Beck all without a true #2 WR to roll the coverages to the opposite side of the field, then you have done an AWESOME job.

RFKFedEx Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 The Monday Night Miracle and the Jax overtime win cleansed the palate for future 15 yard penalties such as the pretend shoe shining in the Cinci game in 08, and numerous unnecesary ball spins on 1st downs when we were behind and far from taking the lead. (Art Monk never did these kind of things, but then again, he didn't go to Da U). But ya, Tana is a top five fave for me in the Syder era along w/ Samuels, Janzen, Cooley, Fletcher. * I don't care about PED allegations. Everyone juices, it doesn't bother me. I will never forget the tears of joy that flowed down my cheeks after that Monday nighter in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Levi Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I like Moss, but I have a hard time being "in love" with the guy. He's just one of the better players we've had during a terrible era of Redskins offensive football. The fact is, he's been #1 here for years and he wouldn't have been #1 for most teams. He's a good player, I like him, but I'll never get all misty eyed thinking about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaRonDontLikeUgly Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I don't appreciate his juicing. You are maybe the biggest jackass loser on this board. Pretty much every time I read one of your posts I think to myself, "If I was in the same room with this dude he would get smacked in the mouth in about 5 seconds." What Moss has accomplished in a Redskins' jersey should make every single fan extremely proud. This guy has played for crap teams with crap QBs/coaches/wideouts/GMs/owner with fans that boo the home team and he STILL LOVES DC. Moss is a humble guy, a hard-worker, a great teammate, and he comes up big when you need him. Any messageboard Skins' fan who has anything negative to say about Santana probably just hates themselves anyway. Keep that **** out of the tribute threads or go root for another team you weasel nerds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 He and Sean Taylor were always my favorites since he came into town... that has changed a bit though recently after I heard about his strip club party (my beliefs, leave me alone, not forcing anything on anyone). But yeah, he's been a true Redskin on the field since he's been here. I lean more towards London Fletcher and I have an inkling that Barry Cofield is going to be a big time favorite of mine real soon. Santana Moss certainly deserves all the accolades from us Skins fans for what he's done for this team. His work ethic has never been questioned, and he's always produced, even though he's been the only threat on our team at WR for most of his stay here.

Rayn Steebonz Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Tana is MOSSOME. I'll never forget the sense of glee that night he SMOKED the 'pukes, the sense of pride I've had in drafting him in ff these last few years, and the honor of knowing his jersey would be relevant in my closet the day I learned he re-signed. Viva El Tana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I love Tana (as if you couldn't guess that ) I was happier than Jay-Z at the VMA's last night when I heard he had re-signed with the Skins. I am looking for him to outdo 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Interesting. Who all would you include in your Top 5 WR (at least since '78)? Since '78 you'd have to find a place to put Charlie Brown in there, with of course The Posse (IMO the greatest receiving trio of all times). I give Moss the edge over Ellard because of the longevity as a Redskin. Ellard was a very good receiver for many years before coming to the 'Skins. But my top 5 list since '78 would go, Monk, Clark, Brown, Sanders, Moss, in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffylookin Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Good thread H2S. The good to great stuff Moss has done here far outweigh the negative. I think Michael Westbrook was the more talented player but Santana is easily the best and most productive receiver the Skins have had since Monk and Clark. I loved Henry Ellard but Moss did it for a longer period and has had more iconic moments and games. As for top 5 since 78, right down my wheelhouse. 1. Monk 1a. Clark 3. Moss 4. Sanders 5. Brown Tough call between Charlie Brown and Henry Ellard but I went with Brown because those teams were so good and nostalgic. Ellard was clearly the better player overall, but just looking at their time with the Skins, I'll take Brown's 82 and 83 seasons over Ellard 94-98.

justice98 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 When he's done, he'll quietly be second all time in catches as a Redskin behind Monk, maybe in yards as well if he plays out his contract. All time, it's probably gotta be Monk, Taylor, Mitchell, Clark, and then Moss in great Redskins WR history. But I think in Redskin history, he probably won't get his due because of the unfortunate Redskin era in which he played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Skins Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I've told this story before, but it's always worth repeating. I went to training camp in 2009. There was only one player's autograph that I really, really wanted, and that was Santana Moss. Sure enough, Tana came over to where I was standing and started signing autographs. When he got to my mini helmet, he took my silver sharpie and proceeded to sign the helmet. However, the sharpie wouldn't work. He asked if I had another one, and I pulled out the backup one, which also failed! Santana was in the middle of a fan riot for autographs, but he kept trying to make my sharpies work until finally one did. It may not be a huge deal to some people, but it certainly was to me and I'll never forget it. Especially since I've waited for athletes to show up to signings that I pay for (6 hours for LaRon Landry to show up). Santana Moss is far and away my favorite modern era Redskin.
