Moss really helped Carter squeeze a few more quality years out.
Cris Carter was in his 12th year for Moss's rookie year.
People forget that Cris Carter couldn't get on the field for the Miami Dolphins in 2002. He had just 8 catches for 66 yards for the Dolphins in the 2002 season -- he only started one game and was a reserve by seasons end.
If Cris Carter was really helping Moss out so much in 2000 and 2001 ... why was he such a spectacular dud with the Miami Dolphins in 2002? The Dolphins had Chris Chambers, James McKnight, and Oronde Gadsden as their other WR's ... it's not like his competition was murderers row.
Cris Carter has always been honest about how much Moss helped prolong his career ... but people would pretend that the decrepit Cris Carter that played with Moss in Minny in 2000 and 2001 was the same Cris Carter from 1994 when he was in his prime.
