That catch there illistrates what I have noticed about a lot of the catches Moss makes.

Prior to this season, Brady did not have a receiver who could make that catch, or a lot of the other catches Moss makes.

It's getting to the point where if you see the ball headed in Moss's general direction, you almost know he is coming down with it.

best thing i like about moss..

he doesnt talk to the media much.

Keegs · 10-02-2007, 07:57 AM

they say Rice is the best receiver ever... and he probably will be considered that for a long time.

But i've never ever seen a receiver as talented as Moss. Nobody is close.

Almost drove onto the sidewalk.

Good on Bill. Reminds of the way the old Roman emperors used to employ special slaves who, when the emperor was being feted by his people as "god", would whisper in his ear: "you are only a man, only a man, only a man... "

This is almost exactly what Brady said in his interview last night. Something to the effect of "He catches everything I throw to him."

The second one wasn't bad either........... Brady overthrew that ball (kinda had too with the coverage), and not many receivers could have made that play. Certainly not any others on this team.

Brady's not the most talented player we've had?

On pure talent.......... I'd say Moss (he is a freak)

As for best player's on the team, It'd be close I think. I think that Moss may be the MOST talented receiver to EVER play. He'll go down as one of the top 2-3 receivers in history when all is said and done.

Brady is probably one of the top 3-4 QB's EVER to have played that position, so I think that it's a pretty close comparison between the two. If it came to it though, Brady is by far the most valuable member of the Patriots (outside BB).

Does it really matter? We have two of the best skill players EVER playing pass and catch each week. How often does that happen. Last time in football - Montana - Rice. They are that good.

To throw a bone to all the Colt's trolls - Manning/Harrison is a great combo too, but what took them several years to master, Brady/Moss has reached their level in what, 2 games? They will only get better.

Holley was just recounting how Moss came to be here. Access is incredible, other mediots would do well to cultivate some. He was recalling how Borges Oakland sources ripped Moss as aging rapidly, said his knees were toast, said he didn't care and did what he wanted to,

...

Apparently when they brought Moss in they did some hardball good cop, bad cop tag team smackdown on Randy during the interview process to test his resolve. Told him they had their rings and they wouldn't put up with any crap. He finally broke down in tears and said, just get me out of there, I'll play for the minimum. And to date the turnaround has been better than they even expected. On and off the field where he is not only productive but a leader, mentor, solicitous of his teamates, coaches, fans. He's doing charity work including bussing in 45 kids from West Va for the game last night. They saved his career and his sanity, probably put him back on track for the HOF. I have a feeling he isn't going anywhere.
