Im not dogging on the Patriots or trying to start trouble but I know that Randy Moss is a ticking Time Bomb, look at Minnesota and Oakland, and I hear alot about how Belichick has reformed him into a team player. I honestly believe he is such a 'team player' because of their undefeated season, in which anyone becomes a team player because they are winning. If, and its a pretty big IF, Patriots somehow lose in the Playoffs or Superbowl will we see the Randy Moss of old or has Belichick really turned him around?

Moss is only unhappy when his team is losing. He only started having his little episodes in Minnesota during the later part when he was there, other than that he was fine.
The Raiders told him they would build around him and make the team a contender but that never happened and he hung in there for years without showing any real meltdowns that I can recall.
I'm not so sure Bellichick deserves any credit for a happy Moss that has matured to some degree. I'm sure that Moss knows Bellichick is a no nonsense coach as well as Bellichick knows Moss will speak his mind if it comes to that.
The team is 13-0 and they both have nothing to complain about.

The majority of fans that I know supported the trade. Most thought it should have been sooner. The super bowl showed that brady tried to force to moss to often. Most saw that as a step back fro finding the open guy like tom had always done. The ones that i saw saying that releasing moss was a mistake was only the talking heads. The ex players that are now the talking heads seem to have a thing against bill, and the patriots in general. The funny thing is most of these guys the patriots not only beat, but embarrassed at some point in the last ten years.

Well he was quiet in Minnesota his rookie year when he was 15-1
I feel that Moss gets frustrated at times because some teams don't really know him and how to use him we have seen thru the years if you want to win PUT THE DAMN BALL IN MOSS'S HANDS i think those other teams underestimated him and trying to be fair by spreading the ball to players that were not the same caliber of a player Moss is
Is it greed or is it just his desire to win look at his best 2 seasons in the NFL his rookie year and now , Not a complaint or Rant from him .
Now he is with a competitor and the Pats look to remain a competitor with or without Moss i think they sign him to a longer contract and he Buys into the Patriots way . If he puts 2 consecutive years of Play-off caliber football he may go off and break his own TD record

The same thing was said about Corey Dillon, when he came to play the Patriots, from Cincinatti... .and look how he turned out. The way Belichick coaches the players, is to take the individual attitude, out of the player, and indoctrinate him, into thinking as a team member.. I don't think he'll have any issues, with Randy Moss acting out, as he did in the past. It just will not happen.
go Patriots 13-0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It appears that Randy Moss has found a place where he is happy. If Moss starts to cause trouble I do believe he will be gone. The Patriots have no problem with getting rid of great players. It may catch up with them some day but it seems to be working for now.

I think that at some point you get to a stage in your life when you just grow up. And it helps of course to be on a team that wins obviously. The entire atmmosphere in Oakland was terrible for a Randy Moss personality. He is very candid. He said it himself recently after a game. He is just thankful that he was put in a good situation. Listen to him talk, and due press confrences, and then listen to Terrel Owens. They are both having a great year, but T.O stills runs his mouth like he's 19. You just don't see that out of Randy anymore.

Uh...Randy Moss is gonna be a team player on the Pats...Period...Motivation could be different things, winning the Super Bowl, playing with the best QB in the NFL, possibly elected to HOF...but they said the same thing about Corey Dillon...They didn't make the Super Bowl in 2002, but you didn't hear Dillon raising hell about the Pats...

I live in Massachusetts and a big Patriots fan...Moss has been reformed. When he came to New England, Belichick told him, straight to Moss' face..If you pull ANY of your old tricks, you're off the team. Now, Moss just wants to win !

I agree people dont change over night. Randy Moss is Randy Moss. That is the type of person he is on and off the field. As the Eagles and Ravens showed if you are physical with him he shuts down. If he gets frustrated off the field same deal. So he isnt reformed. Im waiting for people to say that about T.O. next.

He could turn back around, just like TO could if the Boys lose. All that really matters is how he performs on the field, and hands down Randy Moss once again proved that he is the greatest reciever in football, by far. Even TO cannot compare to him, and he is a star as well.
