I think a WR is distinguished more by his ability to make clutch catches and smart on-field moves (like Jerry Rice, for instance). Heh, I’m sorry I’m not impressed by Moss’ “jump ball” play at WR.

Moss if a Hall of Famer, and the best receiver on the field. He's not just tall, he's fast. He also knows just how much he's allowed to push off without getting caught, and one thread amongst all great players is their knowledge and use of the rules. But you can continue your Patriot-hater fantasies if it makes you feel better, Oliver. I still like your blog, and imagine your output will increase even more once the Redskins are eliminated from continuing their season. “Moss isn’t even remotely close to Jordan/Gretzky or Rice”…which is why I said “okay, he isn’t at that level”.

It's like how teams never covered Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky. Okay, Moss isn't at that level, but it's close. Teams think they <i>should</i> cover Moss, but they <i>can't</i>, especially if they think that Wexler and Stallworth should be covered as well. Doesn't help that the play previous, his cover-man was injured. You know, you’re right. It’s like how teams never covered Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky.
