Coles vs. Moss update

Wanted to bump this oldie. Can't say enough how much I love how Santana has quietly gone about his business this year.

And oh yeah, we damn sure got the better of this trade. Not even close.

Coles retired after the 2009 season

Moss is a true redskin and quietly has had a great career here. Always one of my favorite players.

Funny I was thinking about this the other day. Coles retired like 4 years ago right? Yeah I also think that pretty much sums up who got the better end of the deal.

Next to the Monday Night Miracle, this is the play I remember him for. (Credit to youtube user "89 Santana Moss".)

He really does so much for the team, without drama. Moss deserves more recognition.

On the offensive side of the ball, Moss, Cooley and Portis kept us going through some pretty bad years...... Wish they were at their prime now, when we finally have the missing pieces of the puzzle in place. HTTR! WE WANT DALLAS!!!

I'd really like to see Moss end on high note here. Both as a Redskins and at least a trip to the Super Bowl, if not a win.

I think Moss has carved out a nice niche on this team as a guy who plays about 400 snaps a season and excels in a limited roll. We're paying him like a 1b type wideout, but in this role, I think he can play at this level for at least another year.

And I give Moss a ton of credit. Re-watching that clip from Sept. 2006 reminded me of a couple things: just how long he's been in decline, and just how hard he has had to work in order to remake himself as an NFL player. It's remarkable looking back on it how fast and explosive he used to be. The fact that he's still relevant in this league is a tribute to the work he's put into it.

well said.

If he can remain injury free he can play for another 3 to 4 years at a semi-high level. He's another Henry Ellard, no matter how old he gets he still produces and makes big plays.
