    Meh...no different than Cotchery IMO. I'd trade Cotchery for Moore just based on the fact that Cotchery has been pretty much non-existent in his time with the Steelers...except for a few games last year where he was productive. I'll take Moore's fresh start/upside over Cotchery for now. I don't get why a bunch of Steelers fans are heart broken that he left...he's less than average.

    Still need to find a "starter" to go opposite Brown...

    Def an upgrade over cotch...better NFL career...has won and is reliable...next target in draft needs to be a big tall WR to go up and get balls esp in red zone... Ben has been asking for this type of WR.

    Yeah mjd is more like bell so no change up there...ego could get in the way..blount knows his role on every team he's played for...they need a bruiser who can convert on short yardage and spell bell

    I think the Steeler fans will like Moore. While he is not the player he was he really isn't that bad.

    That's good to hear...I'm a Pitt grad and remember playing against him in college when he was at Toledo...Always seemed like a good guy and had some monster games
