The human version of Discreet Cat.....
Had 183 receiving yards in his Pats debut today.
And the Jets really should have been thankful that it wasn't the same version of Super Freaky-ness that lined up for Marshall with the double eights on his jersey in the late 90's. A sight for sore eyes if there ever was one......  Anyone who didn't get to see Randy Moss play college football missed a lot. He was the most impressive college player I've ever seen - and by a gigantic margin. He not only was good enough to start in the NFL when he played as a freshman at Marshall - but I steadfastly believe he would have been clearly the best reciever in the NFL, at age 18, had he been allowed to join the leauge out of high school. Nice to see their is still a little juice left in those fragile and injury plagued legs.

He's definitely one of the most talented receivers of all time. It's a shame that he's so stubborn. Could've been the greatest.

I've said from the start of his career that he was a monster. He's among the most physically gifted athletes I've ever seen. He does things so effortlessly that u feel that he's not even trying. Over the past couple of years, he probably hasn't been although, playing for the Raiders, u almost can't blame him. I mean, who wants to kill themselves going all out for that sorry bunch? I know all about how he's paid to be a professional whether it's the Raiders or the Pats but let's be real here. It was the Raiders.
Have u seen the dude play basketball? I know he was good enough to make All-State (I know, not a big deal in West Virginia) in high school. He may have even been the state player of the year, even though Jason Williams (Miami Heat) was there also. Those two were teammates and watching Williams throw lobs to Moss then was just like watching Culpepper and Cunningham throw them to him in the NFL. What a lot of people don't remember is that before Randy was playing for Marshall, he was on the campus of Florida State and at Notre Dame and the coaches at BOTH schools said the same thing......that he was the best athlete to ever come there. I don't know if he was the greatest college player I've seen though. Michael Vick might still hold that title for me. But I agree with u that he was well ahead of his level even then and could have probably starred in the NFL as an 18yo. I also don't know if he could have been the greatest of all-time either. Jerry Rice set that bar pretty damn high. As it is though, I rank him as the second-best receiver I've ever seen in the NFL. Jerry was more steady and consistent but as far as big play capability, Moss is second to none.

In the late 70's I lived in Houston for a year. Saw Oklahoma play Rice. Billy Sims got about 150 yards in the first quarter. He spent the 2nd quarter signing autographs in the stands. He's as good as I ever saw in college.

I'll put Earl Campbell ahead of Billy Simms.
Both from tiny Texas towns.
