But, but, but ... Moss quit on RUSTY SMITH! He is letting down the franchise he just joined, and the 52 guys in the locker room he just met two weeks ago!
Forgive me for not sympathizing with a player who refused to play for one of the league's best teams. And also forgive me for sympathizing with a player who has been on 3 teams in 2 months, 2 of which have terrible QBs.
Moss's numbers are irrelevant at this point, because he's playing with fucking Rusty Smith. This is a lost season.
But guess what? It's still better than anything Vincent Jackson has done all season. And had Moss stayed in New England, his "half-assed" numbers would have equaled Vincent Jackson's career averages. So basically, by not trying, Moss managed to give the Patriots Vincent Jackson type of production. That got him traded.
