As oppose to the cancer that is the saints, your team will get beaten again, and again; and the hits will keep on coming, and coming; and your players will drop more, and drop more.
I believe Moss has matured.

Also as numerous stories have said, this is a low risk high reward for the team. Low risk because if he does act up, Jim won't put up with it and neither will the team and will cut him fast.
If he does have a chip on his shoulder (the one to prove haters wrong) he'll perform. And holy crap, he still runs 4.4 40 at that age

Unreal he still runs a 4.4... jesus the 9ers should have gone after Peyton too. Moss + Peyton + that defense (btw did I mention that DEFENSE?!) = ring plz.
Agreed. This is low risk/high reward. A lot of people are comparing it to the Braylon Edwards thing, but I'm not. With last season's lockout, Smith and Edwards had limited time to get acclimated so were already at a disadvantage.

Edwards is a punk with stone hands that's not a fraction as good as he thinks he is. Moss is a punk...but at least he can back it over a career of records.

I don't think Peyton is even in the talk, never was, just fans and analysts wishes.
I agree with the low risk vs high reward. $2.5mil is cheap. At the very least he will stretch the field until he proves he can no longer play. The CB and Safeties will have to respect him as I'm sure his hands are still decent and he's 6'4".
I don't think his attitude will be an issue either. There aren't a lot of strong leaders on offense (maybe V.Davis and Gore) but the defense has Willis and Justin Smith. Those guys aren't going to put up with any crap and neither is Harbaugh. They'll just cut him if it doesn't pan out. They cut Edwards at like the end of the season even though they had no other decent WR.
Now if they can get a QB that can actually toss it deep, convert more than 20% of his third downs, and maybe finish a few drives in the TD instead of FG, they should be superbowl bound. - 29.4% 3rd down conversion...only team worse was the rams. Saints were 56% btw - Browns and Vikings were 38% to give you context.

Trust me, Harbaugh ain't going to take his shit for one second.
If Harbaugh whiffs Moss's doucheness, he'll be out on his ass.

Why don't people like it if they are Niners fans? B/c Moss is a "cancer"? That's been addressed. Have you ever seen or heard Harbaugh?? The dude is beyond intense. He isn't going to take $hit from Moss. While it's true he might not be in NFL shape yet, he's better than Crabtree, Josh Morgan (actually he was coming along OK before he got hurt), Ted Ginn Jr......are you serious, Kyle Williams?? It's like a bunch of midgets running around out there all 6' or under.
It still doesn't address their biggest issue which is QB though. I don't care if you have Calvin Johnson out there....Alex still stinks. WR position is overrated in NFL IMO. Get a guy like Manning and he can throw to anyone. Heck he made Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie seem decent.

Word is out now that the contract with Moss is no guaranteed money on a "show me" contract.
awesome.
It's local news, so I'm not seeing any confirmation online right now. So, SF signs him to a minimum deal, with show me clause!
LOL...looks like he had no other takers...
Randym what can I tell you...it's the business.

"Moss' deal with San Francisco is worth $2.5 million, and he has incentives that could bring its value to more than $4 million, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter."Word is out now that the contract with Moss is no guaranteed money on a "show me" contract.
awesome.

This changed?

no, it hasn't changed. local NBC affiliate said that it's "show me" contract, meaning: no money is guaranteed. 4mil is the value of the contract. If he sucks, then he is paid nothing of what his contract is worth.
Again--I haven't seen this online anywhere, so I have no idea how true this is. could be some local yokel desperate sports dude spreading rumors that make it to the local desk quite easily.

So there is no guarantee. He is still making 1.75 mil base, plus a per game bonus and incentives bonuses. But from I understand, they can cut him anytime and not have to pay any more of the contract.
I assume if they cut him in week 8 for example, he'd make 1/2 of the 1.75 mil "base" (since there are 16 games) and then $46,875 per game for $375k more. I don't know for sure though.
I think basically what the no guarentee "show me" contact is saying is that he doesn't get the rest of his contract if they cut him during the season (or anything if they cut him prior to week 1)
