To reward TO as having to carry all the water while also punishing Moss for having Carter and Welker when we all knew who drew the double teams is misguided, IMO. No doubt Owens was productive for longer than Randy, but that does not make him a greater talent.
I tend to believe the guys who played against these receivers, and while I haven't searched for their opinions (yet), I would be surprised if any or many of them thinks that TO was better than Moss.
