Re: 2nd best WR ever is Randy Moss
IMO, especially after his 2007 season, him being ranked #2 all time should be fairly easy considering he's compiled his numbers over just 10 seasons and just turned 31. Of course, if you're like many nfl fans and unable to analyze Moss the player objectively because of the exaggerated negative media press that he's same crazy cancerous TO type, who he's nothing like, then he isnt even worthy of HOF consideration and should be out of the league, lol.
Seriously though, his numbers are mind boggling. He's played 10 seasons, made 7 probowls(should be 8) and has had over 1000 Yards in 8/10 seasons, and 1300+ Yds in 7 of those 8. Of the 2 years he failed to eclipse 1000 Yds, in 2004 he was essentially injured for 5 games but still got an extremely impressive 13 TDs, and in 2007 when he also played on a team with the worst QB, worst Oline, and worst coaching, but to be fair where he also quit on the team, one of the few legitimate wrongs he's done imo.
He's even more impressive when you look at the ridiculous TD numbers he has compiled over a short timespan. To put Moss' TD numbers into perspective, TO is imo a top 5 alltime WR, but his best TD season, 16 for SF in 2002, would be FOURTH among Moss is 10 seasons. The comparisons to other guys of his era like a Steve Smith or Chad Johnson are even more staggering, to the point that they're really not in the same stratosphere. For example Chad Johnson, who is obviously a great WR, has hit double digit TDs just once in his career, and just barely when he had 10 in 2003. Comparitively Moss has done that in 7/10 seasons, including seasons of 23, 17, 17, and 15, the first 3 being in the top 10 all time for a WR, something even Jerry Rice, who has 2 top 10 TD seasons, hasnt done. If not for Jerry Rice, we would be calling Randy Moss a statistical freak everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.
