look i know were a forum of mostly ill-advised football observers but can some one please explain to me why there is apparently no effort to re-sign this stud?
I'm as big a Moss fan as you will find but even I will admit he's clearly lost a step in his 3 years here. Other than TD's, he's started the year pretty slow from a yards and catches perspective.
Rice made quarterbacks stats look much better than they actually were. Not taking anything away from those Qb's but Rice had a great ability to take 5-10 yard passes and turn them into 50 yard gains, and touchdowns.
I have always said that quarterbacks should only get credit for the DISTANCE of the pass and the receiver should get credit for the yardage he gains after the reception.
Both now get credit for the same amount of yardage,. For example, on his own 1 yard line, the QB throws a one yard WR screen (stupid play though) and the receiver goes the distance with it. Both QB and WR get credit for 99 yards. Makes no sense.
Moss is the most dominating player I have ever watched, dating back to the early 70's, play in the NFL. I dare say that if Moss had the HOF calibre QB's that Rice enjoyed, during much of his best years, then Moss likely would be on the doorstep of breaking Rice's records as we speak.

I can go there if I please thank-you because it's fact! Look it up for yourself!don't go there, seriously.
Moss played in a dome with a pretty good QB for a majority of his career.
In Oakland, Moss played on a sh!tty team so lets say he lost about 20 TD over 3 yrs but he also dogged it for most of that time and gave up on lots of his routes.
He doesn't really deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Did a little googling...Rice's records are......
Receptions (1,549)
Receiving yards (22,895)
Touchdown receptions (197)
Yards from scrimmage (23,540)
All-purpose yards (23,546)
Combined rushing and receiving touchdowns (207)
Total touchdowns (208) [197 receiving, 10 rushing, 1 fumble return]
Plus records by quarter, etc. Sick.

6. Stopping to appreciate Randy Moss. I know Randy Moss can rub people the wrong way with things that he says and when he says them. Two weeks ago, he was talking about his contract after a big win over the Bengals. He's been criticized for that, but at the same time, I hope the fans in New England realize that they're watching one of the best wide receivers in the history of the NFL. He now has 151 career regular-season touchdown catches. Jerry Rice (197) and Moss are the only players in NFL history with at least 150 touchdown catches. Moss also has 14,604 receiving yards, passing Marvin Harrison for the fifth-most receiving yards in NFL history on Sunday. Moss is in the conversation when talking about the best receivers in the history of the NFL. When he is gone, no longer playing for the Patriots, we won't see catches by anyone -- whether it's a draft pick or someone else they bring in -- like he made last week against Darrelle Revis. No one will be making catches like we saw Sunday -- in the middle of three Bills defenders, teammate Brandon Tate and an official -- for a touchdown. It's not something that should be taken for granted. What we're seeing, what we're witnessing, is something that no receiver will ever do again in New England.
