A decrepid Randell Cunningham, who had been out of the leauge for a few years prior, won the entire leauge MVP. An over-the-hill Jeff George was voted to the Pro Bowl and put up huge numbers in his one 3/4 of a season with the Vikes.
Todd Bowman and Gus Ferrote - who both started two or three games apeice for the Vikes won NFC Offensive player of the week awards as Vikes QBs with Moss.
Moss isn't an underneath or over the middle guy - he's a vertical guy who opens the field and creates mis matches all over. He doesn't need to have a single pass thrown his way to have a huge impact on the game.
Culpepper ran him out of Minny after 2004 - and now it's nice to see the agent/qb/imbecile out of the leauge.

The Vikings ranked fourth in total offense in 2004 while defense ranked 26th. Again, lets not let FACTS get in the way of an offbased position.
I know what kind of player Moss is. I know he doesnt need to catch passes to have impact. We are all aware of the credentials. At the same time, Culpepper had a few GREAT YEARS. Regardless of how great Moss is, Daunte still had to deliver. In 2004 he did. And the leading receiver yards wise was Nate Burleson.
