It ain't a coincidence that the two highest scoring teams of all time in NFL history had number 84 on their roster. When he had the guys around him, he was as close to unstoppable as anyone has ever been in football.
Anyone who thinks Eric Dickerson's rookie year was better than Moss's doesn't know football period. People just don't realize how much harder it is for a wide receiver compared to a running back to come in and be successful as a rookie. Moss came in as a rookie and had over 1,300 yards and 17 touchdowns! there have only been 4 other players in NFL history besides Moss to have 1,300 or more receiving yards and 17 receiving touchdowns in a single season. And Moss had 3 such seasons in his career!
IF U THINK CALVIN JOHNSON IS BETTER THAN RANDY MOSS IN HIS PRIME YOU ARE A IDIOT!!!!... RANDY MOSS WAS BETTER IN HIS 1ST YEAR THAN CALVIN JOHNSON EVER WILL BE THOMAS SIZEMORE !!!!!
greatest receiver in vikings history...because of his rookie season, that is why Jerry Jones drafted Dez Bryant because of his mistake. Thank You Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys for not picking Randy.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion about Moss. But one thing you cant deny is hes the best of his generation and no one comes close to him. Marvin Harrison had Peyton Manning throwing him the ball, Terrel Owens had Steve Young and Mcnabb and Romo. Moss had a collection of journeyman and he made Culpepper look like the second coming of Dan Marino.
@NordicBlood84 Marvin Harrison needed the "Peyton Manning Pocket Passer" type because he couldn't blow by people like Randy Moss. Randy had the "Cannon Armed" QB's in Randall Cunningham and Daunte Cullpepper (which he needed).
Moss's rookie season is the G.O.A.T. A lot of people think Eric Dickerson's rookie campaign was better because he had 2,200 yards and 20 td's. But he is a running back and touched the ball 440 times. And a lot of running backs have had rookie seasons with 15+ td's. The next best season for rookie receiving td's besides Randy Moss's is 13 td's by John Jefferson in 1978, and other than that there has only been one other season of 13 receiving td's in NFL history and that was in 1958.
THEaTEAM52 I love Brian Billick...Randy Moss on the other hand - sore loser! Did you see how he reacted after the Patriots lost to the Ravens?
Who isn't a sore loser? I hate losing more than anything in the world, can you imagine the competitive nature of a professional football player? I am a Ravens fan, but as a fan of sports in general who doesn't like to see emotion at the end of a game won or loss
He turned Vikings into a Superbowl contender in his rookie season, 17 td catches, 15-1... gimme a break son. I don't even like the guy but you can't deny his rookie season was immaculate.
i thought gale sayers rookie season was better due to the fact that he was the only guy who could do it. During this time of year, you expect players to be that kind of impact. not 17 touchdowns but certaintly 10.
what about adrian peterson? he was on track for a monster rookie season if not for his injury. he was still able to get 1300 yards. he had 2 200 yard games. 226 against the bears and the record breaking 296 against the chargers.
@VpY22 well you could say that for a lot more rookies who had superstar potential, not just AP - staying healthy in the NFL is a feat as well, especially as a rookie learning the ropes

What is also really impressive about that season is that Moss had 14 catches of 40 or more yards. Thats rediculous!

Eric should have been number one. In fact, another, shorter Top Ten Rookie Seasons, Eric Dickerson got #1 with 1,808 yds.
