So basically he'll easily be a top 10 rb next year with 1300yds, 10tds, and 40-50 receptions. :rolleyes:

Right, I was more meaning to say that teams are willing to sacrifice talent to save some money and grief that a malcontent player brings. But I guess for every team that is willing to give up malcontent talent, another team is willing to take that player in.

I don't think there was any way that the Niners would've kept him. I believe I was mistaken, he had the option of declaring free agency and his agent failed to do that at the right time. So they could've kept him at his current contract for one more year but the opted to get rid of him. So it...

Well he never really demanded a trade to a contender. He was scheduled to be a free agent but his agent muffed up. The niners caved in when the technicalities were challenged. He was gonna leave the niners regardless at that point in time. If the Niners really wanted him back they would have...

Defensive coordinators play Randy Moss the same way they play every other elite WR in the league. They put their best CB on them. They double team that WR. They try to jam him at the line and put a safety behind to cover the deep pass. He beats them, the coordinators cry. Do they not cry...

What????? What kind of comeback is this??? If you take Rice in his first 7 years he clearly established himself as the best WR during that time period. If you take Moss and his 7 years, you have Marvin Harrison who has outproduced Moss during those 7 years.

Haha, tricked ya. Objectively it cannot be proven that anyone is better or best or greatest. It is only of your opinion of who is the best, so subjectively you assumptions could be right, but not objectively. :D Also, I don't know why you need to bring RB's into this discussion to argue...

:thumbup:

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: The answer is not easy. You can make arguments for plenty of rb's being elite today. Do you discount Priest Holmes just because he has the better offensive line? He was spectacular when healthy. Then you have Shaun Alexander who's been amazingly consistent...

I can't argue the stats over their entire careers. You win there. As I've already stated he impacted the game immediately which cannot be argued about Owens or Harrison. But Owens and Harrison have closed the gap between the best WR in the game in the last 5 years which is a pretty big sample...

Your right, if Moss can keep up his pace and stay healthy, then comparisons to Rice will be well deserved. But Moss over Owens is not as easy as everyone says it is. Moss was instantly good in the NFL, while Owens took a few years to develop which is normal. Moss is not normal so that's why...

I'm not underestimating Moss. He's a great talent. He's the best WR I've seen at the goalline. He's the best at running a deep route and coming down with the ball. He has incredible hands. He has great speed. No question he has more talent. But talent isn't everything.

You might be right about the wind not being a problem in Oak, but playing the majority of games outdoors compared to indoors does make a difference. Maybe not significant but enough of an impact to effect a long pass. I bet that if you look at Moss' stats that he was better indoors than he was...

A GM doesn't rule out looking for a speedy, tall, and soft handed receiver simply because they won't find one. If that's the type of receiver they wanted, they would scout for that type of receiver. But they don't. They look for big, fast and strong. The reason why they don't look for next...

How is that countering my own point? I've already agreed that Moss is more talented than Owens. I know the odds of finding the next Moss is like finding a needle in a haystack. My point was to say that given everything that they've seen with Moss, they still look for the qualities that Owens...
