Skyy is lousy yes, but to act that andy and veach are morons for keeping the guy that already had salary cap space sunk into him, knows the playbook, and is maybe a good teammate....is some pretty low faith in those two.
They already ate toney's cap but he was also making stupid videos bashing the team and actually turning the ball over to cost us games. Sometimes you just can't fix everything in one off-season.

Nobody thinks they're morons - they just think they're wrong.
And ultimately, this idea that you don't want to upgrade your 6th WR slot because it takes effort just runs contrary to everything we've seen from Veach. He's always looking to refresh/replace the bottom of the roster.
And ultimately we just learned that your 5th WR can become your WR3 as quick as a hiccup.
So I hope (and expect) that Veach learned from this. Next year, we won't see any more of these damn charity case roster spots. If you have a guy you don't think you can trust if he moves 2 spots up the depth chart, you shouldn't have him on the roster. The end.
The problem isn't that Moore can't step in and play WR1 if we need him to - nobody expects that. The problem is that we can't trust him to play WR3 now that we've had a couple of injuries. He simply cannot play the position and the team clearly has no interest in asking him to.
That means he never should've been on this roster to begin with. It should've been someone like Noah Brown -- a guy who CAN actually contribute if/when called upon.
Moore clearly ain't that guy.
