Is Randy Moss. This is the opinion of Mike Reiss according to this weeks mailbag.
I tend to focus on Randy's reputation etc. as the major reason he seems to be continually held under the microscope from both media and fans. Reiss, however, identifies something else. I found his take especially interesting. Thoughts?

I look at Moss's playing time this year and he's been on the field 90 percent of the time, more than any other receiver. He plays in every package, expect for the goal-line run-based power package. Has he gone all out every play? Probably not, and sometimes his frustration of not having the ball delivered when opportunities are there shows. But other times you see him blocking relentlessly downfield in the running game, or making that big catch against the Jets with one second left when he had previously been pretty quiet due to double-teams, and it sort of clears up the picture to me. I think he's working hard. I also think sometimes it looks like he's not working hard, because he has the most graceful stride I've ever seen on a football field. In all, he's probably the most scrutinized Patriot.
