Could Randy Moss be a worthy gamble for Carolina Panthers?
23.05.12
Why not get back to business in Charlotte?
I'm serious. If Moss can be anything akin to the devastating New England Moss, and not the bored or occasionally disruptive Oakland, Tennessee or 2010 Minnesota Moss, the Panthers should jump.
They shouldn't hand him a check. They should treat him like a serious job candidate.
Moss didn't play last season. So he should be rested.
What did he learn from his time away from football?
Moss has said he plays when he wants to play. Will he commit to playing when his employer wants him to?
Maybe I've given him too much credit, but did he miss being part of something bigger than he is? Most of the superior athletes I know say after they leave their sport that they miss being part of a group.
Couldn't Moss have evolved? Reputations are flexible, as Cam Newton will attest. Many teams (and we forget this) would not have invested the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft on Newton. The Panthers trusted their instincts.
