OT: Randy Moss says he is the GOAT WR

[sb1]

I think he was the most feared. 0 Super Bowl rings though.

TO as the second best over Rice? That's a really warm take.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

TO over Rice...lmao

Harry is 4th

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I'm fine with that take. Rice is overrated, although he stayed healthy and had a strong work ethic. I don't think he hit Randy's heights, though. His stats are mind-blowing, but I'd rather have Randy for a game.

Who would i take in their prime? Moss over everyone. But longevity is hard to ignore

 

[Triumph]

No

Moss could have been the GOAT. Josh Gordon had it all too and would have easily worn the gold jacket.

Had Moss came down with that pass in the 2007 Super Bowl, we'd have a different conversation. Had he scored, this might not have been debatable. Always thought he mistimed that jumped/didn't reach out enough.

He initially thought Moss actually pulled down his pants, but still stands by it today that it was a "disgusting act".

Moss said he did it because Green Bay fans liked "mooning" the opposing teams bus.

I think Moss was the most physically gifted wide receiver ever, but not the best.

So Randy says don't count rings or stats.

Really? Moss often checked out during games. Rice gave 110 percent every play.

Id take it. Not just the big plays he made but the overall effect moss had on defenses was immeasurable. He was the focal point on 2 of the greatest offenses of all time, one with randall cunningham on his last legs as qb.

Rice also used stick em after it got banned...he had an average rookie season then all of sudden he became great

That's the moment I define Joe Buck's announcing career by. I don't care about anything else.

The stickum thing is probably real, but you've just described the career trajectory of just about every good player.

It wasn’t so much he used stickum it was the hypocrisy of calling the Patriots cheaters when he admitted he used stickum to get an edge which was not legal. Kudos to Florio of all people for calling it out.

I think this is a case of greatest vs. most talented. Then again, I have no qualms with anyone saying Moss is the greatest. I believe it myself, but Rice did have the more decorated career. He truly was incredible. Was it his first game where he had 3 catches for 160+ yds and 3 TDs?

He also helped Brady have that stupid statline against the Dolphins... 11/11 220yds 4TDs and a 158.3 passer rating lol.

Not that stats are everything. But my goodness could that man produce in just about every condition..

I really miss the Brady to Moss connection.

And to think, there was brief moment in 2010 where this team had Wes Welker, Randy Moss, Gronk, the other really high producing TE whose name we redact, and Edleman. That's absurd haha.

Love me some Moss. But you could depend on Rice every Sunday. That strong work ethic shouldn’t be dismissed as secondary. Truth is : on some Sundays (though rarely when with BB), Moss was more of an immature headache. His antics detracted from his out-of-worldly skills.

I wonder : if 40 year old Moss had 20 year old Moss’ body - he might’ve never been a Patriot. His antics (that I referenced as a negative) are exactly what made him available.

 

[brdmaverick]

The age old debate.

I'm probably biased because I'm a big Randy Moss fan, but his receiving skills and physical attributes are why I would pick Randy in his prime for any one game.

Jerry Rice does seem like he worked harder, may have been a better teammate, and still put up stats (and rings).
