Which Would You Want

[Alexander]

When Tuna was asked last year in a pc what receiver he considered the best his answer was Tory Holt.

Okay, irrelevant...

Moss v Owens, both extremely unlikable, but I will take Owens for his willingness to improve his game and for being a more complete receiver.

Listen to the lady.

I will also add that if Moss broke his ankle, he would not have worked like a demon to make it back for his teammates to play in the Super Bowl like Owens did.

To borrow one of your own phrases, this is "Purely speculative, without a shread of tangible proof."

Moss only makes you back up your FS, TO takes controlof the ENTIRE field, not just the distance, as CB get faster they will keep up with Moss and his numbers will go down, meanwhile TO well continue to get his because he plays all overthe field, and thats why TO is a better chocie than Moss

That's an extremely weak argument. As CBs get faster?! I didn't realize they were such a slow breed. Speed is a big part of Moss' game but there's more to it than that. If he were such a 'one-trick pony' teams would've surely figured out a way to stop him by now, yet he keeps producing astronomical numbers.

Terrell Owens is the best in football and has been since about 1998.

The best since 1998:

1. Marvin Harrison

2. Randy Moss

3. Torry Holt (granted he began in 1999)

4. Terrell Owens

5. Isaac Bruce

Note the absence of Joey Galloway Ravi!!

Colepeppe>Mcnabb

Minn RB>iggles RB


Minn 2 3 WR> iggles 2 3 WR

Tell me where Minn Off is inferior to the iggles.

and second The eagles had a great defense so they never had to score as much as the Vikings did, which is why Moss had so many TD's,as did the rest of the WR crop.

Man I just saw this now:

First of all, I don't think Culpepper is better than McNabb. I think they're both great, but it's highly subjective as to who is better (perhaps a new thread?)

Second, I'd take Westbrook over any of the Vikings RBs.

Third, the Vikings had the better receiving corps, but the Eagles had a far superior defence and if you read carefully, you'll see that I said that Owens played for a superior team.

Since this completely hypothetical, I will join.

First off, I think Moss is more of a game breaker, and with a coach like Parcells I think he would be on better behavior. Just how much he would open things up for Jones and Witten underneath would be enticing. And we don't have that much speed at WR, plus Keyshawn is a good chain mover.

As good as TO is, Moss is better. Sorry. And let's not forget the Star Incident.

In a sense, the aforementioned post about Culpepper being better than McNabb is accurate.

They both can maneuver in the pocket and scramble to avoid pressure. McNabb is a better pocket passer but Culpepper is better on the run. Which comes into play more often than being stalled in the pocket because they both can run. But, if you have to run away... you want Culpepper. He can get it downfield with accuracy and has the size to shrug off some would-be tackles.

Minnesota had the better corps. Perhaps they still do. They'll have to see how Troy Williamson pans out over the next couple of years.

I'd take Minnesota's backfield over Philly's anyday. They don't have much behind Westbrook while Minnesota has Moore, Bennett, and Moe Williams.

The Eagles didn't have a great defense but they were better than Minnesota. Philly had good players at key positions but lacked greatness everywhere else. That's where New England had them beat.

You can't compare Moss to Owens in terms of gamebreaker-ness because they both are. Randy Moss can sucker an entire defense while T.O. just uses his stature to sucker in a safety or two. T.O. can't create if he's trapped. Moss can create when he's trapped because he has the elusiveness to not be pinned down. T.O. has to have room to move around otherwise he's useless. As per his performance in the Super Bowl.

Both are good receivers but Moss is better. Speed kills and that's something Moss has a lot of. It makes him much more dangerous than Owens.

Moss, no contest.

i wouldn't ever want to see that scumbag with a star on his helmet. <--(TO)
