Moss is more valuable than Brady

No offense to Tom Brady, one of my favorite NFL players of all time, but Randy Moss is the MVP of the National Football League.

It ain't even close.
Seriously, denying Randy Moss this year's Associated Press MVP award would be borderline criminal. If Allen Iverson is the answer in basketball, Randy Moss is the question that no one in football can answer.

How do you stop him?

He can't be stopped; he can only slow himself, as he did for a couple of miserable years in Oakland.

Brady is on the brink of shattering every single-season passing record known to mankind and the Patriots are well on their way to smashing every scoring record. And we love nothing more in this country than showering superstar quarterbacks with awards, hype and credit.

But Randy Moss should not and cannot be denied this season. His impact on the football field is so obvious and so overwhelming that even Joe Buck should cast an MVP vote for Mr. Moss. The value of wide receivers has never been more evident than this season.

Terrell Owens earned Tony Romo a $67 million contract and paved the road Philly fans will use to escort Donovan McNabb out of town. Marvin Harrison went down with a knee injury, and Peyton Manning's feet got happy again and his interception total escalated.

Look, it's still a quarterback's league. Manning and McNabb are great players. Romo is headed for greatness. But they're significantly diminished without their favorite toys.

Moss is a kingmaker. This isn't the first time he made a good offense outstanding. The scoring record the Patriots are chasing is the standard Moss' 1998 Vikings established. In that same year, Moss, a rookie at the time, turned 35-year-old Randall Cunningham into the league's top passer. Cunningham threw 34 TDs and 10 INTs and the Vikings finished the regular season 15-1.

Denny Green looked as smart as Bill Belichick.

Randy, despite 17 TDs and 1,313 receiving yards, didn't win the MVP that year because Terrell Davis took a run at Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record, cracking 2,000 yards.

Well, the excuse this year will be Brady's numbers. I'm not knocking Brady. He's an incredible player. He's just not as valuable as Randy Moss.

I definitely disagree. Moss has also proven that if he doesn't have the right QB, he can't do much either. If Brady was having a year like Cunningham's year back in 1998, I might agree, but Brady is having a much better year in just about every aspect of the game. Moss is definitely a big part of why Brady is doing so good, but a lot of credit also has to go to that offensive line, which has been giving him all the time in the world to find a receiver. Its a team game. But it is Brady that is breaking all of the records... if he continues on this pace, theres no doubt in my mind that it should be Brady that gets the MVP. It would just be another year that Moss had a stellar year, but was outshined by another player...

Hey I was wondering what is Randy Moss' touchdown celebration (not so much a celebration actually) but the thing he does when he spreads his hands out suppose to be?

One big problem with this. Tom Brady was one of the top 2 quarterbacks in the league for the last couple of years and he had awful receivers. While Branch and Givens are above average receivers, you never here about them as much as you used to, and last year he had Caldwell as his #1 receiver. Compare that to Manning having both Wayne and Harrison, and its like comparing dirt to gold. Brady proved a great quarterback can win with a bad supporting cast of receivers. Now that Brady has all these weapons its not even fair, give the best quarterback in the league the best receiver and its like shooting a one legged dog. The ironic thing is at the same time Manning has lost Harrison and he's collapsed from who he used to be. If he was so great he would still be putting up steller numbers like Brady did.

No way. Brady is looking amazing out there. Moss is a great help, but he ain't the reason. Brady gets MVP, Moss gets Offensive player of the year.

Think of it this way... Brady was alot more valuable without Moss then what Moss was without Brady. That's just my opinion on it.

Remember Moss whining with the Raiders? Because he wasn't putting up spectacular numbers? Seems to me Moss needs Brady/a good team to make him look good.
Brady is good no matter who he has. End of story.

This Whitlock guy must have a thing for Moss.

Uhh, Brady is definitely more valuable than Moss which is why it is foolish for Belicheck to keep playing him so late in the game. They lose Brady, they lose their season. We all know what happened when they put Cassell in, first pass interception for a TD. Yay!
