Career playoff numbers:

.............REC...YARDS....AVG....TD
Moss......52.......936........18.0.....10
Rice......151....2,245........14.9.....22

Jerry Rice in the Super Bowl

REC...YARDS....AVG....TD
..11.......215.........19.6......1
....7.......148.........21.1......3
..10.......149.........14.9......3
....5.........77.........15.4......1

Randy Moss in the Super Bowl

REC...YARDS....AVG....TD
....5.........62.........12.4......1

So Jerry Rice's worst Super Bowl performance, as a 40 year old receiver, was better than Moss' sole Super Bowl appearance. And Moss' Super Bowl came in the same year he caught almost 100 passes, 1,500 yards and 23 TDs. In fact, just look at what Moss did during that entire playoff run that year. He didn't do shite. Caught 7 total passes for less than 100 yards in 3 games. Dude disappeared

Wow. Those #s are just sick. Didn't realize he was averaging like 10 catches for 165 yards and 2 TD's in his first 3 SB's.

As to Moss' claim; I think he could be the GOAT IF he would have tried every game for his whole career. He was amazing. I remember watching him at Marshall jumping over people and wishing the Saints would take him. In the NFL, when he did try, he was unreal and unstoppable.

But Rice, who I hated because of division rivalry was downright unstoppable at times too. But when looking at #s, you can see that Moss could pass up Rice had he played all out for his career. But he didn't and so ends his GOAT talk.

I'm with others in that if Megatron plays for a long time w/o injury, he could pass up every # in the book.
