I remember the first time I saw Jerry Rice in 1986, my reaction was who is this guy, he is the best WR in the league with a backup QB (Montana was hurt for most of 1986)

His second year as a pro

I thought Moss was the best receiver in the league as soon as he hit the field. He had a shit QB too, which might have actually helped him, since he had to attempt more spectacular catches from off-target throws.

reply

1998 was his rookie year, Randall Cunningham was his QB, Vikings were 15-1

maybe he was a shit QB but he was not shit in 1998

reply

I forgot Cunningham was there. Was thinking of Culpepper.

I knew they had a great record.

Dolphins picked Dante over Drew Brees in 2006

They were concerned about his shoulder or torn labrum but not concerned with Dante's knee problems

1998 Atlanta beat Vikings in OT in NFC title game, head coach was Dan Reeves

1998 Viking HC was Dennis Green, OC was Brian Billick

reply

Wow! I had their QB sequence way off.

Moss had a big game on Thanksgiving at Texas stadium vs Cowboys

John Madden said I think Randy Moss is the best WR in the league

edit: 1998

I think that was the first time I saw Randy Moss because I didn't see him play in college

also in the NFC title game, Madden said the Vikings are being too conservative, they need to target Moss more

Gary Anderson missed a 38 yard fg and you could hear Vikings fans panicking

reply

The other top receivers were all getting old at that point, it seems like.

Rice, Irvin, Brown, Carter, etc.

reply

Cris Carter? I always thought he was overrated, am I being too harsh? probably

Moss was traded to the Raiders in 2005 then traded to the Patriots in 2007 then traded to Vikings in 2010

had a brief cameo with 49ers in 2012

reply

That’s why I thought Culpepper was there earlier. I thought he was one of Moss’ QBs.

reply

iirc, Cunningham, Jeff George then Dante Culpepper who was drafted in 2000 or 2001

Culpepper panicked under pressure, once his knees were shot, he could not evade pass rush

1 quarterback, 2 quarterblacks

bad joke

edit: I liked Randall Cunningham, never a fan of Jeff George or Dante Culpepper
