Where would prime Randy Moss be in today's WR pecking order?

This group of receivers is probably the best the league has ever seen from a talent perspective.

Julio Jones
Antonio Brown
Odell Beckham Jr
AJ Green
Mike Evans
Deandre Hopkins
Dez Bryant


Silly talent. Randy a better WR than all of them? I'm leaning yes but think Julio and AB have an argument. None of those guys will touch Randy's touchdown numbers. 17 as a rookie is absurd, but Randy played with a big arm QB opposite a hall of fame WR. He didn't see the double teams today's stud wideouts do. What say you?

Still the most talented WR of all time.

Bro Moss saw triple coverages a ton in his heyday no one was single covering moss.

My memory of him may be hazy but I thought he did, no?

I'm a Bama fan and Julio is my favorite player of the last 20 years. I would still take Moss in his prime.

He was triple covered multiple times and still caught tds.

If anything the offensive passing ingenuity and the rule changes over the past decade have made it much more likely that the big time WRs see single coverage more often than moss back in the day.

He's the #2 WR of all time behind Jerry Rice. He would butt frick the frick out of Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, Odell, Dez, AJ Green, and Mike Evans and make them all his bitches. It's no debate at all.

At his best, Randy Moss was an absolute monster.

There is no receiver in the NFL right now as dangerous as Moss was.

I can't imagine Odell if he played back in the day. Back then was real football and they would have made him cry every game.

Moss is behind Carter in just about everything category and they played together for years. It's the equivalent of Julio and Beckham playing together

He saw some double teams obviously, but those Viking teams were loaded with talented receivers, so Moss didn't get as many double and triple teams as posters claim. I remember it well bc I had Culpepper in fantasy football in those days.

There was a joke in the Vikings film room that 3rd down meant that there would be 3 DBs covering Randy on that snap.

Most talented guy to ever play the spot. Wasted half of it, and is still a no-doubt Hall of Famer.
