The Facts:
Former Raiders OC Tom Walsh isn't sure Moss can ever be the guy who averaged nearly 13 touchdowns a season in his first seven years in the NFL. "Randy Moss is a player whose skills are diminishing, and he's in denial of those eroding skills," Walsh said. "Randy was a great receiver but he lacked the work ethic and the desire to cultivate any skills that would compensate for what he was losing physically later in his career."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
One could easily argue that Walsh, who was fired along with Art Shell following last season's 2-14 debacle, has a bit of an ax to grind here. Still, he only seems to be confirming what we all saw with our own eyes. Not surprisingly, Shell agreed with Walsh, telling Globe staffer Ron Borges: "[The Patriots will] find out Randy can't run consistently anymore. He'll drive [Tom] Brady and [Bill] Belichick crazy. He teases people because every now and then you see something, but he can't keep it up consistently anymore. ..." While that's interesting stuff, it's still possible a change of scenery -- and a move to a more successful organization -- can rejuvenate Moss.
