Lance Moore ought to fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum of hits and misses that the Lions have had with veteran receivers who’ve been brought in recent years to fill a specific role.
Moore, who was signed earlier this week, doesn’t have to hit a grand slam to be a positive addition, but a season like last year in Pittsburgh would be a disappointment.
Moore’s background and familiarity with the Lions’ offensive system from the eight seasons he spent in New Orleans make it more likely that he’ll be a hit than a miss.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford expressed optimism over what Moore can bring to the offense in terms of production and knowledge when he spoke to reporters at the annual “Taste of the Lions” event at Ford Field.
