KurtGodel77 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 That guy drops too many passes, and he's scheduled to make $8.5 million next season, his tenth in the league. This past year, he just barely surpassed 1000 yards, despite being Drew's main target on most plays. Moulds has three seasons when he got to about 1300 yards or better, and that was when we didn't run the ball often enough to take pressure off the passing game. If we put some other guy in the possession receiver place he might do just as well if not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisiskeith12 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Or Pro Bowlers. You shouldn't cut Moulds just because he had an off year. He still did get over 1,000 yards not to mention being hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New England got rid of Lawyer Milloy because they thought he was a good player, but overpaid. They won the Super Bowl that same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the year went on, teams began putting 8 or 9 men in the box, showing they had no fear of Moulds. He's just another guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just another guy. 190003[/snapback] Last time I checked, he was over 100 yards, had 90 catches, and is one of the most feared WRs in the league. There is no one to replace the guy, there arent many guys the cliber of him in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started looking at all his WRs, instead of always keying in on just one guy. Getting rid of Sharpe made the other receivers better, not worse, and Sharpe was twice the WR Moulds is now.

Moulds may have 90 catches, but it wouldn't surprise me to learn that he also has 45 drops. Sam Aiken outplayed Moulds today, and maybe he could do so over the course of a season. Certainly Sam Aiken could have equalled what Moulds did in Cincinnati, and there are probably several other games where the Sam Aikens of the league could have equalled or bettered the production of Eric Moulds.

jester43 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 this franchise is not in a position to start cutting players who are good enough to start on any team in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisiskeith12 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 You're missing the point. He was injured this year plus he had Bledsoe throwing to him. He still made over 1,000 yards and a damn nice one handed grab in Baltimore to go along with that one handed grab against the Colts a few years back. He's the toughest starting receiver in the NFL. He has a veteran leadership role on the team, with the old Buffalo of the 90s in his blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEE http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player?statsId=3510 190017[/snapback] Those weren't dropped passes, those were fantasy owners dropping him for whatever reason. If anyone can find out how many real drops he had, it would help this discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Bledsoe throwing to Moulds should inflate his numbers, because a lot of times Bledsoe locks into Moulds while ignoring his other WRs.

Eric has been a pretty much team first guy and hopefully that continues, as love to see us restructure his contract in order to keep Pat Williams and Jonas Jennings. As a loss of either one would definately hurt this team immensly IMHO. I think Moulds' loss would also hurt as much if not more but do think we have to start thinking of his eventual replacement in 2006 or 2007.
