So it was Peyton or Tom now its Terrell or Randy. This weeks NFL debate is about the receivers. New England's Randy Moss or Dallas's Terrell Owens. It has been said that both have had a lack of team spirit and will to preform within a team, but this year both are shining on and off the field. Both are having outstanding seasons..possibly record breaking and both are staying out of the negative side of the news.....can you ask for more?
Randy Moss...6'4", 210 lbs, and 10 years expedience. Through 12 games Moss has 75 receptions for 1,129 yards and 17 touch downs...a great season for many, but moss still has 4 games to add to those mind blowing stats. The Patriots are 12-0 with no slowing down in sight.
Terrell Owens...6'3", 218 lbs, and 12 years experience. Through 12 games Owens has 71 receptions for 1,249 yards and 14 touch downs. Again a great season for some but Owens will surly add to those stats. The Cowboys are 11-1 through 12 weeks and seem to be the favorite in their conference.
Clearly, there are few differences among these future hall of famers, but they are there. Both seem to have escaped their negative attitudes, winning will do that, but Moss seems to be on a better track. Smiling, encouraging, and putting in 100% at all times. True, Owens has also come from under the dark cloud, but it seems that he could slide back into the dark as quick as he emerged. Athletically, both Owens and Moss are gifted. Number one receivers and go to guys, but Moss is the classic definition of "Throw it up and I'll go get it." Granted Owens is a better target across the middle and may or may not have the deep ball mentality, but whats better a short fade to the empty corner of the end zone or a forced ball into the clogged middle? This seems to be the major difference and for that reason I would be inclined to take Moss before Owens if I was in the suit and tie.
