Randy Moss from Pats to Vikings, is this good or bad and for who?

Update:

People do your own homework, he went to New England for a 4th round pick. Not a 5th (3rd person to get it wrong talking to me today).

    Good: for the jets and vikings because it take away the deep threat against the jets defense, they should be able to easily beat the patriots without moss, and it open up things for the viking offense, (and you know how farve loves to chuck it deep into triple coverage) percy harvin should see a lot of space underneath like welker did.

    bad: patriots...this take away their deep threat and will affect the way that they score, you have to remember Moss presence alone on the field help turn Welker into a superstar

    Better for the Vikings. They desperately needed a wide receiver, and now they got on that can help their passing game. They needed to make a move like this, and they got a good price.

    I think it helps the Pats, because they can started on life with Randy Moss now. They can adjust their game plan, then later in the season they will probably beast. So, overall it is a good move for both teams. But, the Vikings get the win here.

    Short term the Pats are going to miss him but overall I think it's a good move for both teams. The Pats weren't going to give him a huge deal and he was going to leave if he didn't have one. The Vikings are off to a terrible start and they didn't waste all this time, effort, and money on Favre to not go all the way this year.

    Its good for both sides for a bunch of reasons. Vikes need a #1 WR that is a playmaker/gamechanger to help them win now. Pats clear a little cap space, get younger, and essentially gain some "profit" on a distraction that likely wasn't gonna re-sign with them anyway (bought him for a 5th rounder I'm told and was traded for a 3rd rounder; that's a "win").

    You have one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the game who now has one of the greatest receivers currently in the NFL to throw to. With Adrian Peterson in the backrield, I think it's obviously GOOD for the Vikings offense and BAD for any defense that has to play against them!

    The real winners are the ones that own Moss in fantasy football...... they won't have to bench him onve this year
