Randy Moss signs one-year deal with 49ers.

[St. Francisco]

We had the 29th ranked passing offense last season...Moss can't make it worse.

We'll have to wait and see then.

Great move by the Niners. A motivated Randy Moss will produce.
For all the people bashing Alex Smith, the guy got it done last year. OK, he's not perfect, but Smith is good enough.
The Niners brought in a potentially elite WR with size and breakaway speed on the cheap, and a very motivating contract.

thats not a compliment to moss.

he'll be cut by the regular season. Moss is done. made 0 impact last year, no reason to beleive a few ustream videos is going to change that.

The only reason I'm thinking this is going to work, is that Moss doesn't have to be the fastest WR to be a tall target in the redzone. Even an old Randy could cover more ground in the endzone than anybody the niners have right now. The WRs were just terrible in the redzone last year getting open, and Smith threw more balls away then I think I've ever seen any QB throw because he was just never confident with anybody come touchdown time. Now I don't know if Moss is going to be as explosive or productive even at getting the niners down field at this point of his career, but they don't need that. The niners need a 6'4 WR that can catch in traffic at the back of the endzone, and Moss can do that all day.

If he was cheap enough, ME LIKEY!

Anymore salty posts you want to make Aso? We get it, he didn't care to put forth maximum effort for your terrible team. Move on.

Doesn't the 49ers offense consist of the power run, WRs running crossing routes and dinking and dunking down the field? Even when younger and somewhat motivated that type of offense would piss Moss off. I don't understand the support for this move. The only way for Moss to be successful is when he's involved in the offense, which is just deep balls of which he’ll maybe get 2-3 per game......Moss isn't going to be blocking for Gore or running crossing routes and he isn't going to like being a decoy.....he's going to become disinterested and quit on the team….. as he has on every team he's ever been on. His only savings grace is Harbaugh, but IDK, because Harbaugh won’t put up with him being lackadaisical and apathetic.

Harbaugh going into some madden type cheese, run, run, run, play action, Davis running a seam route and Randy on the fly, auto TD

I'll move on when everyone else does which shouldn't be too long after he gets cut before the season is over.

 

[jms493]

I predict he gets hurt......tries to come back.....has no real impact. Maybe 2 TDS

Moss reminds me of how Madden 2004 still had Terrell Davis on the Broncos as a 90 OVR.

And if it happens, so what? Didn't hurt us with Edwards and I dont see why you would think Moss would kill this team. low risk no matter what happens. It's not like we traded Napoleon Harris and a 1st rd pick for him :melo:

trollolololol good one.

The Braylon Edwards signing didn't hurt them? They were relying on him to be a starter and then ended up having to rely on Ted Ginn and then eventually Kyle Williams. If he gets cut mid-season for being trash then they'll have to rely on someone lower on the depth chart and I believe it can in fact hurt this team.

He didn't make a single play on the field for us and we were still a few plays away from the super bowl. Morgan's injury was worse than Edwards not being there. You made it seem like Moss will kill team chemistry. Even if Moss catches 7 passes, he'll be better than anything Edwards did for us last year.

Well I didn't say anything about team chemistry but if they are relying on him to be a starter and be so good and he's not then you'll still have to put someone else into that role. At the very least they should sign another somewhat high quality free agent or use a draft pick/s at WR.

 

[Acesuper]

Anything that moves Kyle Williams* deeper into the grave that is the 49ers WR Depth Chart makes me happy.

*edit: that vermin Kyle Williams

 

[Villain]

It'll be free again since Josh Morgan is probably gone now

I've read that they are planning on re-signing him if the price is right.

See my above comment.


I love the deal. Low risk if it doesn't work out, high upside if it does. Moss shows up when he's in the position to contend and the 49ers were only a few mistakes and an unlucky bounce away from the superbowl last year. There's no good reason to expect less out of the unit. Harbaugh will actually have an entire offseason to work with the team, unlike last year because the lockout. The 49ers are no longer pressured into spending a 1st rounder on a WR so that means that O-Line depth can be addressed. Moss won't do shit in another 9 sack game.

Which goes back to what I said before. I don't think this signing changes anything we do in FA and the draft. We had a need at WR prior to Moss, and we still have that same need. If Morgan resigns, we are back to where we were a year ago outside of having Ginn. I'm sure our GM knows this and will take precautions.
