The Pats

[docicu3]

Drugs when Randy left Marshall was he not thought of as "most likely to spend the offseason in a correctional facility".

The reason he fell to the 21'st pick was that Randy's graduation was from the well known "Lawerence Phillips Charm School" that year....he scared the hell out of GM's who considered him higher....

Having said that the Pats have titrated his medication flawlessly all season without incident. 20 mgs of BB's mystery potion each night before bed and you have a quiet productive all pro who has learned to be accepting of structure and purpose. Randy seems to actually care about winning a Super Bowl the one thing you can't buy with "straight cash homie".

You do realize how many "can't miss" baseball prospects don't pan out, right? Drew Henson managed to fail as a can't miss baseball and football prospect. Very impressive.

Not bashing Moss but what some MLB scouts have to say is like using something PG1985 said to support an argument.

I remember that 1998 draft. There were THOUGHT to be 4 can't misses: Peyton Manning, Ryan Leaf, Peter Bouleware and Moss. OK, we know now the "experts were 100% wrong on Leaf. But Moss was thought to be top 4. As a Bears fan, who drafted 4th, I thought we had a shot at getting Moss. Instead we took Penn St RB Curtis Enis, who is now pumping gas in Libertyville. 9 years later, Moss is putting up 20 plus TDs. I don't know if the Bears organization would've been able to handle Moss early in his career. Maybe Minny was the right spot for him. But when you see high picks spent on the likes of Enis, Rashan Salaam and Cade McNown, it makes one angry knowing they passed on Moss.
