It was interesting to find out that the only person to ever outrun Moss was Antonio Brown, and the only person to beat Antonio Brown was Moss, say what you want about our WR's at this point but we have significantly upgraded our team speed, when Portis say's Antonio ran the fastest 40 he's ever seen you know the kid can pick them up and lay them down. I think our return game this season will be as exiting to watch as any we ever had, and we may be the greatest team of all time in that department to date. In the brief time we had to watch Brown perform I have to say he was running as fast as anyone I have ever seen, I am Talking D.Green fast, at least.

It's not how fast you can run. It's how good you can catch the ball and how you run routes. Speed kills, but good hands are devastating. I mean, no one has ever committed murder with speed have they now? Think about it!

You're right they do have to have good hands, but to stop the complaining about a deep threat, you have to have someone that can get open deep.....our receivers this year were no deep threats.

Well - speed kills in the return game. A couple good blocks and these guys are HISTORY! May be the only way we can score!
Anyhow, Brown may be intersting to at least give a small role to at WR spot. Just to see what he can do in a game with adrenaline flowing. Dick Vermeil once said: "You can teach someone to catch a ball, you can teach someone to run routes, but you sure as hell can't teach speed!" That's a paraphrase. I agree with it

That's definitely a good quote coming from Dick Vermiel. All of you know he coaches em up and makes em playmakers. Look at Dante Hall. Fell off last year, but year before that man was getting it done outside of the return game as much as he was in it.

Even if a player is not a quintessential WR doesn't mean he's useless [brown]there are plenty of way's to get a player the ball on offense to utilize his speed on occasion, and as far as the return game goes he look's phenomenal, add Moss into that picture and look out. It's up to Gibb's to utilize their talent's to maximize their production.
Dante Hall does a pretty good job of impacting games in KC and he's no prototypical WR.

What about vehicular homicide? ;)
The road to greatness is littered with incomplete players. Guys who can catch, but are too slow. Guys who are burners with bad hands. With Moss, we have a player who has had a 70+ catch season, so hopefully he's not on that list.

I had exactly that in mind when i wrote "think about it!" Think about that!
