Moss has slow acceleration, but can cover ground when he gains speed. Theres no question Randy Moss is faster than Jerry Rice, the dude ran like a 4.7 coming out of college. Jerry Rice was considered slow by WR standards, and the reason why players like Larry Fitzgerald(4.6) are still high draft picks. Randy Moss runs a fucking 4.25 for crying out loud. That's faster than like 90% of the players in the league.
Just to give you an idea how silly that last post you made really was: Wilt Chamberlain is the only player ever to average over 50 points a game for an entire NBA season. He has also led the league in rebounds, blocks, and assists. The only argument anyone can make against him whatsoever as the best player ever in any sport is that he didn't win every championship every year. Cuz he did everything else. (including banging 20,000 women! rofl)
Wilt Chamberlain is known for his scoring. I'm saying that Randy Moss is known for his big receptions in the endzone. Jerry Rice, however, was a more all around player and did everything great, a la MJ. That's the only comparison I was trying to make. When Randy's career is over, you'll see how much of a better scorer Moss was than Rice, as he's already proven that he can score more TD's than Rice, and he'll continue doing it over the next few years in NE.
