Randy Moss was wrong in 2013, and he’s wrong now

This is not the first time that Randy Moss has declared himself the best receiver of all time. He initially made this claim in the days leading up to Super Bowl XLVII, his last game in the NFL.

“I think I’m the best wide receiver to ever play this game,” Moss said at Tuesday’s event during Super Bowl week, known at the time as Media Day.

“Put my numbers against his numbers,” Rice first said in response to the argument. Rice elaborated later.

“I’m very surprised that Randy Moss used that in those words, that he’s the greatest,” Rice said on ESPN. NFL Live. “You will never hear me say that I am the greatest football player to ever play football. I let my work speak for itself and I think I was able to be very productive on the football field. . . . You got to look at the stats, you got to look at how you influenced the game, and it’s all about winning here, that’s it, the Super Bowl, and I was lucky enough to win three. Randy finally has a chance to prove himself this weekend, and I wish him the best.

Moss had two catches for 41 yards in Super Bowl XLVII, making him largely a non-determining factor in San Francisco’s loss to the Ravens.

While Moss remains firmly in the conversation for No.2, with Terrell Owens and arguably Larry Fitzgerald, Moss is not the best wide receiver ever. He could have been. If he had worked like Rice, Moss would have been.

Moss had the most god-given talent of all receivers in NFL history, but Moss failed to make the most of his talents. He took the matches. He took away the matches. He took a season or two off, while in Oakland.

“I play when I want to play,” Moss said early in his career. Rice was playing all the time. Rice combined her natural skills, hard work and determination to achieve more than any other catcher. Moss is entitled to his opinion, and we are entitled to say that his opinion is wrong.

Rice was and still is the best receiver in NFL history. Moss arguably had more talent and potential, but Moss claiming he was the best is no different from the high school kid who claims he’s smarter than the Major because he could have gotten better. notes if he had tried harder.

The fact that Moss didn’t put in more effort means something.
