When some people are wrong, they’re wrong. Boy was I ever WRONG about Randy Moss coming to the Patriots. Consider this hurried post your opportunity to remind me how WRONG I was.

If you missed it, the Pats gave up a 4th round pick (#110 overall) to the Raiders for the mercurial wide receiver. Left unsaid right now is whether New England renegotiated Moss’ very expensive contract, but I’m guessing that’s coming somewhere along the line.

Now then, you all know what I’ve said about Moss before...a malcontent, a quitter, the kind of guy Bill Belichick would never have on his roster. And with all that, I absolutely, positively love the deal, because it basically cost the Patriots nothing. They gave up a 4th round pick they didn’t even posses heading into the draft for one of the top talents in the history of the position, who may still have something left in the tank.

If he continues to be a problem child, he’ll be gone faster than you can say Terry Glenn. If his skills have completely deteriorated, then they basically have another lousy receiver, something Tom Brady is used to anyway.

But if there’s anything there at all, even 75% of what Moss used to be, Brady and the Patriots have a weapon the likes of which they’ve never seen. Think about it…if Tom Terrific can make competent contributors out of Reche Caldwell and Jabar Gaffney, just imagine what he can do with a healthy, motivated Randy Moss.

This non-believer, for one, can’t wait to see!

OK folks…let’s hear the I told you so’s! Can you believe they got Moss so cheaply? Can he be rejuvenated in Foxboro? Will the Patriots lose a game this year?
