I know Jerry Rice is the clear favorite, owning almost every record, and playing quality football into his 40s. But, I think Randy Moss is the best reciever ever.
Obviously, Moss is the most athletically gifted receiver ever, with 4.3 speed and a huge vertical. Not to mention some of the best hands ever.
But, if you look at the larger picture, the two top ever scoring offenses, Minnesota in 98 and New England in 08, he was the main factor.
Rice may be a fan favorite, but Rice, IMO, played better than he really was because he always had a QB throwing to him whether it be Montana, Young, Gannon or Hasselback. Moss had crappy guys like Cunningham and Culpepper.
I am kind of splitting the argument I guess, but I think Moss is the most skilled receiver ever, and a key component to the top offenses in history, while Rice was consistant over his years, but didn't make the weekly amazing catches.
