Randy gets some credit for being a WR who's a team guy

[JSn]

Moss is outshining Owens by flying under the radar.

Owens' selfish criticism is way off target

Excerpt:

I have to give a lot of credit to Randy Moss, who lost Tom Brady to injury and is on the field with inexperienced Matt Cassel. In years past, Moss might have complained about not getting the ball, but right now he is taking the high road, maybe because his team continues to win.

Moss went into Sunday's contest with the 49ers averaging six targets a game, but he made the best of it with five receptions for 111 yards and a score. He is still only being targeted six times a game with 17 receptions, which could be frustrating, but he's acting like a guy who understands the situation.

A lesson Owens could learn.

If the Brady injury had happened last year, it would not have surprised me if Moss had just shut it down week 1. IMO, he still believes there is a lot to play for this year and in the future.

It's amazing the extremely low opinion so many have on Moss. As if Brady is the ONLY reason the guy wants to play football.

This is the guy who made plays with the likes of Jeff George, an aging Cunningham, Daunte, Gus Frerotte, Todd Bouman, and even Kerry Collins at QB. So I agree that it's funny to see the ignorance of some people on here. Throw him the ball and he will make plays. Oakland was supposed to be committed to excellence....Randy came to win and the team didn't have those same intentions. I can't agree with how he acted in his 2nd year there, however I think that being in that organization is much different than being on 30 other teams in the league (excluding the Lions of course). So many former Raiders players have come out and bashed how poor of an organization Oakland has been in recent years. I'm sure I would do the same thing if I was working for a place that running itself into the ground and wasn't showing any signs of wanting to get any better, regardless of how much I was making. It's even more frustrating when you're as competitive as a guy like Randy.

I have cited the great work by Kirwin on this site in the past. He continues to be among the very best at what he does.

The long bomb last Sunday was beautiful. Let's hope we see more of those.

I think there are more differences between the Raiders and the Patriots than just the Qbs. Randy seems like a total package and is a team captain for a reason.

And next to Burrass both Moss and TO are saints.

To me Randy realizes that its take an team to win and that everyone plays their part to win. As long as Randy does his part and helps contribute (and lead) then that's what matters.
