One of them produced a SB win the other did not. I voted Dillon.

they were both extreemly fun to watch
on one hand Dillon was a blast to watch as he challenged LB's to tackle him and he absolutely punished anyone under 250 pounds
On the other hand you had Moss running away from those CB's who thought he lossed a few steps and having fun playing with the greates Qb to ever don a helmet

It's crazy that there isnt more youtube higlights out there of Corey Dillon that season. Actcually, there isn;t much in the way of CD highlights anywhere on the web that i coiuld find.

In summary;

Randy's 23 TDs = stylish and good for ESPN highlights

Corey's 1600 yards = effective and good for Lombardi Trophies
I know results matter...but you can make a pretty damm good argument that the 2007 Pats were a far better team than the 2004 Pats. It was more than highlights with last years Pats teams, they were amazingly efficient until the SB.

Take another way to think about it; which player forced the other team to make more accomodations in their defense.

Now granted Moss is undoubtedly in the top 5 of wrs all time; Dillon while a great back; IS LIKELY NOT in the top 10 all time. So Moss should be considered a greater player than Dillon.

But when push comes to shove and a defense has to counter a player; a WR just doesn't touch the ball on enough plays nor does he force the defense to make as many adjustments as a top flight RB does.

How many times do you hear "8 men in the box" when playing against a top RB. that greatly opens up the field for more pass plays. With a top flight WR you double him or keep a S over the top or have multiple second guys help out through the depth of coverage. But it doesn't necessarily vacate a whole lot of the field to adapt to that 1 WR.

Whaaaaaaat?? Did you watch the divisional playoff game against the Jags?? If there's one receiver defenses have to adjust for its Moss, and we saw it all of last season. Randy Moss is the epitome of forcing other teams to make accomodations in their defense.
