Nevermind what Rice did on the field in the NFL. Moss is the best.

Moss (like all players) was denied an opportunity to be allowed to play in the NFL in his prime because of the rule that players had to have 3 years of college.

Anyone who saw Moss in the years before he arrived in the NFL knew his prime was being wasted by college.

Terrell Owens did absolutely nothing in college until his senior year while he played for the Chattanooga Mocking Birds.

Jerry Rice didn't start turning it on in college until his Junior while playing in a very pass happy offense at Mississippi Valley State.

When Moss was at Marshall, he was recognized as the best player in all of college football at any position before his 2nd season.

The most reputable scouts awarded him that honor ... even Sports Illustrated called him the nations best player at any position going into his sophomore year.

The Moss who played at Marshall was a MUCH better athlete and had much greater leaping ability than the Moss who caught 23 TD's on that 16-0 Patriots team in 2007. He didn't play a single snap of pre-season that year and was coming off of a dud year in Oakland where he had hamstring issues.

Jerry Rice ran a 4.7 forty yard dash at the combine -- he didn't win with speed or size. Moss won with speed, size, body control, leaping ability, and incredible hands ... do you think he had more of those qualities at age 20 or age 30?

He had more speed at age 20, but he didn't have Brady throwing him the ball until he was 30. Brady got hurt in his 2nd season. So Moss was over 32 years old by the time he got his second season with Brady started.

From age 31 onward -- of course Rice is going to be a much better WR. His entire game wasn't based around his speed.
