Is Randy Moss a deep threat? Moss averaged over 16 yards per catch 4 times in his career, Jerry Rice did it 5 times. Randy Moss' career high was 19 yards per game (rookie year), Jerry Rice's was 20.4 (1986).
Two WR's from Trestmans past have come out and blasted him.
One being the greatest WR of all time.
If Trestman was so great, it wouldnt have taken now to get the poor guy a HC gig.

Define deep threat?
Jerry Rice was money after the catch, he was never somebody who was a speed guy, as his 40 was timed at 4.6. Randy Moss was a deep threat on account of his speed and ability to catch the ball over his shoulder. Rice used his intelligence and ability to read defenses instead of pure speed. I didnt see Jerry Rice just blow away defensive backs with his average speed, but again, I actually seen Jerry Rice play.
I wont even mention how Yards per catch has no bearing on being a deep threat and is just a statsitic that has no way, shape or form a barometer on annointing somebody a "deep threat" when it is more alligned with yards after a catch, something Rice was possibly the best ever at attaining.YPC is an irrelevant stat.
So again, tell me how Jerry Rice was a deep threat when Rice himself stated he never considered himself a deep threat and didnt want to be pigeon holed such a claim and instead wanted to be known as the best all round wide out in the game.
Seau's family is filing a wrongful death suit against the NFL.
This is nothing against Seau but I have a problem with this. Seau was an NFL player, he chose to play in the NFL and he knew the risks of playing there. He I am willing to bet several times lied to doctors about his own health to continue playing, everything that happened to him in his career was a result of his own choice.
Now his family is suing the NFL because he suffered brain damage? Yes he did, because he choose to play in the NFL, if you don't want to possibly suffer a head injury don't play in what is the most violent sport on the planet, go be an accountant.
Fact is these players know the risks and are willing to take them for the reward of fame and $ they'd never see elsewhere. You can't go suing the league after the fact. You knew what you where doing and the risks involved.

While they are at it, they might as well sue the manufacturer of the gun he used to kill himself.

I mean, if Jerry Rices says so......
For your own link
The main problem was how Trestman used Rice, as a possession receiver, an inexplicable tactic for one of the NFL's top deep threats. Trestman's explanation was the 49ers' running game was suspect, and he needed Rice for first downs in what had become a possession offense.

And that means what, actually?
Because its on the interent it has to be true when anybody who has actually played the game will tell you Rice wasnt a deep threat? The opinion of a sports writer is now considered something more then opinion when Jerry Rice himself has stated he didnt consider himself a deep threat?
It says on the internet that the world has been infiltrated by shape shifting aliens. Is that also true?

Things on the internet matter, except when they go against your point, then they don't. Go it.
Apparently Revis is on the trade block, and the Jets want at least a 1st rounder for him. I thought he was under contract for a while, but apparently his deal will be voided after the 2013 season, making him a FA. Odd timing to put him on the block, coming off ACL surgery and all. Obviously it's not a surgery that is career threatening anymore like it may have been viewed years ago... But you still never know how he'll respond, and then you're not guaranteed to have him beyond 2013.
Don't expect the Bears to go after him. I don't really see anyone towards the end of the draft that would make a trade for him, and I wouldn't give up a top 20 pick and then some for him.

Revis has long history of holding out and generally being pain in the Jets ###
Honestly there secondary was ok without him and I think the Jets are just looking to end there relationship with him
+ If he is healthy at camp he would probably just hold out like he always does
