I guess I’m just trying to make the point that Moss would transform this offense with current personnel. A lot of people doubt that because of the QB and line. Those would remain problematic but it’s all relative like a bowling ball on a semen-stained mattress, or whatever the scientific analogy is. A poor offense could mire him in the clay like in Oakland, but I believe it would work with this Bates offense and this personnel.

Lots of the FG introspection that goes on, about how we interact as a community and the friendliness and whatnot, possibly is searching for nuggets like this here. Rather than just say, I think he’d transform the offense moderately, I wrap it in some glib comment for people to read between the lines about what I am trying to say. I think part of that comes from the culture and the community, and I adjust my tone accordingly. Just a thought.
