I am not a Vikings or Patriots fan. I'm not really a fan of any one team. Why? It creates a biased mindset I want to avoid at all costs.
So, when I look at players or teams I speak the truth. Most "Fans" are blinded by their own emotions when making statements about teams.
But this isn't a psychology class and most of you won't know what the hell I'm talking about if we went down that path.
But I am going to tell you why Randy Moss, if he retired today, is the best WR of all time!
We could argue stats all day. Yeah, he doesn't have Jerry Rice numbers yet but he's only 34 and Rice played into his early 40's. Moss has almost 15000 receiving yards and 153 touchdowns with a 15 yards per catch average.
What did Jerry Rice have at the end of his career? Close to 23000 yards and 208 touchdowns and he played til he was 43!
Moss has 9 long years to catch this man! You don't think Moss can get 8000 receiving yards in 9 years? What about 60 more touchdowns?
Easy. Moss is a freak athlete. He's in the same mold as a guy like Daryl Green was where he could still rip off 4.5's in his late 40's
But forget those stats! You know what will prove my point completely and you can never ever argue with me and win about?
Randy Moss was part of 2 of the best offenses of all time. Originally the 98' Vikings and than the 2008 Patriots!
Oh but the 2008 Pats have Tom Brady? Tom Brady wasn't doing anything like that before Moss arrived. Moss made Randall Cunnigham and Daunte Culpepper look like genius's.
Look at Dante without Moss? He's nothing. Forget his injury we live in a time where if you blow your knee out you can come back. Carson Palmer came back and threw 4,000 yards after blowing out his knee. Drew Brees ruined his shoulder and came back and won the super bowl.
If you look in the record books I would bet a couple of those later Vikings teams are in the top 20 of all time.
He is everything a receiver needs to be. A backbreaker, momentum shifting machine that can make a QB look like a genius. Without Moss Brady wouldn't have the stats he has today. Without him he wouldn't have the confidence either.
Now you can argue the last 2 lines but the main stat, part of the 2 best offenses of all time, you can't!
And I don't want to hear that he's a punk or a bad human being. That has no merit on how the man plays football.
