#'s 2, 3, and 5 all seem to have a common thread at WR.
#'s 3 and 5 also have a common thread in that they both royally suck.

Whenever you look at passing stats in the last 10 years, you have to consider the rule changes that have gone into effect. I don't even know/careenough to tell you the exact year within the last 5-10yrs when they made the major rule changes, or if there were several progressive, but they have made rule changes, -mainly those pertaining to defensive pass interference and illegal contact(within the route running of a receiver), but also significant is what you see as another recent rule allowance (that is so well known it is Coached into WR) where the receiver is allowed one "tap" or moderate one armed shove on the shoulder pad area to separate just before the ball arrives.
QB Stats of all kinds are devalued because of the rule changes, but this obviously means more in terms of cross-era comparison.
That aside, Moss is one of the best WR of all time.
