So I believe had things played out differently, he could have had that title. His stats may not quite meet up with Rice's for the greatest. But they sure put up an argument for 2nd greatest.
T.O. might have something to say about the argument for 2nd greatest. Not that I am a fan of "Two" but his stats are right there as well.
If you really think about it, T.O. might be more ammo for the argument in favor of Moss as the GOAT. T.O. played well for several teams but it was definitely his time with the 49ers that I believe he had his greatest years, playing with the same Steve Young that threw balls to Rice. In other words, more proof that Rice's accomplishments were augmented by the fact he was catching balls from two HOF QBs for many years, whereas Moss' tenure with HOF QBs was rather short-lived (Brady and Favre).
Personally, I still rank Rice as the GOAT however, I like the way Mike Sando of ESPN phrased it best. He basically said, if Rice was the greatest WR of all time, then Moss was the most feared of all time.
