Moss calls him the best WR ever at Super Bowl press confrence
If people can think that Seattle Slew was a better race horse than Spectacular Bid ... obviously Jerry Rice doesn't deserve to be compared with Moss if that's the case.
Rice had that Spectacular Bid like level on unbelievably sustained elite production ... but anyone who actually watched Moss in college and early in Minny knows there will never be anything like him ever again. |

The greatest football play I've ever seen a player make is at 7 minutes and 43 seconds into this video clip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0oGFz48foA He catches a Hail Mary, and manages a no-look behind the back lateral for a TD as time ran-out in the 1st half. The Vikes won the game by 8 points to go 6-0. Interestingly, the box score credited Moe Williams with a 15-yard TD reception on that play. http://www.pro-football-reference.co...0310190min.htm That Minny team in 2003 was really bad outside of Moss being at the tail end of his prime. They had the 23rd ranked defense, and the leading rusher was Moe Williams and the 2nd leading receiver was Moe Williams. Moe Williams 2nd best rushing season ever was 414 yards...and his 2nd best receiving season ever was 251 yards. And he was that teams leading rusher, 2nd leader in receiving yards behind Moss, and the defense was 23rd ranked in both points allowed and yards allowed. Below AVG defense, plus Moe Williams as your 2nd best offense weapon, should never translate to a 6-0 start and a winning record. Maybe that is why Nick Saben took Duante Culpepper over Drew Brees. |

A classless Jerry Rice responds:
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=8895051 Man, laugh it off if you are truly the best. Personally I've got him 3rd behind Moss, Monk, then Jerry Rice. |

After the last comment, it's pretty safe to say Rice is the best ever. DB1985 is never right about anything. Nor does he ever pay off his debts. Quite a combo.

Montana made Jerry Rice great. And he is one of the greats, no doubt.
Moss made Culpepper look like the greatest QB of all time. I don't believe it can even be debated that Jerry Rice isn't Jerry Rice if he has Dante Culpepper behind center instead of Joe Montana. If you can only define greatness by stats, then you not only have to be one of the best, but you then also have to fall into a perfect scenario to make you great. Like Jerry Rice. If you can define greatness based on sheer impact - Moss is greater than Rice. Period. Rice was an outstanding WR who benefited from having an outstanding cast around him, which often led to single/blown coverages thus amazing plays and stats. Moss would force defenses to scheme around him. Moss, in his prime, changed the game. |

Sure Rice had Montana, BUT Moss had Pennington in College, it's a wash!
