Maybe Moss can explain some of his reasoning to Asante.

basically, we traded Branch for Moss, and picked up a 2008 first rounder
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttttttttt!!!
“I'm still overwhelmed and, at the same time, kind of star-struck that I am part of this New England Patriots organization,” a cheerful Moss told reporters Sunday afternoon.
...
“Really, I was overwhelmed because I didn't expect to hear from Coach Belichick,” Moss continued. “Once we talked and things worked themselves out, I was very overwhelmed. I'm still in shock at the same time and I can't believe I'm a Patriot.”
...
Not surprisingly, Brady was the first Patriots player to speak to Moss, shortly after the trade was made official.
“I’ve always been a big fan of Tom Brady’s,” Moss admitted. “I talked to Tom Brady today, just to jump some things off and just let him know how excited I am to play with him and also the other players on this team.
...
“I think that Coach is going to give me his best as far as getting me prepared weekly and motivate me. I think that he is the kind of coach that can motivate me, and not just me, but the team, to go out there and win. I mean, he has a proven track record, so why not be happy? Why not be excited to come and play for this organization?”
...
“What I have done in my nine-year career was just a glimpse of what I can do,” Moss opined.

I feel bad for 4 of these guys.
I am relieved, if only because we won't have to hear about Moss becoming a Patriot every three days.
Ummm....in Bill I trust.....

2004 -Dante Culpepper - 4717 yards, 39 TDs - Moss 767 yards, 8 TDs
2005 - Kerry Collins - 3,759 yards (6th in the NF), 20 TD - Moss 1,005 yards, 8 TDs
2006 - Andrew Walter, Aaron Brooks, and whoever - 2850 yards and 7 TDs - Moss 553 yards, 3 TDs.
So in 2004, Moss was playing with a QB who would have won the league MVP any other year, but didn't because Manning broke Marino's TD record.
In 2005, Kerry Collins was a good, not great QB who gotthe sixth most yards in the league.
Yes, in 2006, he had horrible QBs.
Don't forget that in 1999, he got over 1400 yards and a dozen TDs with Jeff George throwing to him for ten of the 16 games. So the "Who was throwing to him?" arguement is out the window. Moss used to make bad QBs look good.
