Will Randy Moss be a Hall of Famer?

Question

as of this moment in his career...

Answer 1

yes because


Rookie record 17 TD catches

He is third only to Anquan Boldin and Bill Groman for most rookie receiving yards with 1,313.

Moss has caught 101 TD passes through 9 seasons, 5th most in NFL history. He trails Jerry Rice, Cris Carter, Marvin Harrison, Terrell Owens, all of whom have played more seasons than Moss.

Has caught 13 or more TDs in a season 4 times. He trails only Terrell Owens and Jerry Rice in such seasons.
Is the only player next to Jerry Rice to catch 17 or more TDs in a season twice (Moss accomplished the feat in 1998 and 2003).

Moss has had 3 seasons where he averaged at least one receiving TD a game. 1998 (17 TDs in 16 games), 2003 (17 TDs in 16 games), and 2004 (13 TDs in 13 games). By doing so, he is the only wide receiver in NFL history to accomplish this task.

He had back to back 100 catch seasons, first in 2002 and then in 2003. He joined Sterling Sharpe, Jerry Rice, Herman Moore, Cris Carter, Marvin Harrison, and Rod Smith as the only receivers to do so.

At the end of the 2006 season, Moss is averaging approximately 11.2 receiving TDs per season, which is an NFL record.

Holds the record for most 1,000 yard seasons in his first seasons of the league. In his first 6 seasons in the NFL, he had 1,000+ yards in each seasons, setting an NFL record.
Moss is the only player in NFL history to average 100 yards and 1 TD per game through a 16 NFL game season

those are some good numbers

Answer 3

You know to tell you the truth I don't even think Randy Moss is going to be as big as everyone thinks he's going to be in New England. I honestly don't see things working out to well with Moss because Brady doesn't exactly have the arm to throw it 60 yards out so Moss can outrun the defenders and we all know everyone is going to cover Moss like crazy. I think if anything Moss is just going to open up the defense for Donte Stallworth to run all over it. While they're busy covering Moss, Stallworth is going to be using his speed and ability to make plays considering he's going to only have 1 man coverage most of the time. Why do you think New England shelled out the money to get both Moss and Stallworth. I think Moss is going to be nothing more than Stallworth's Terrell Owens. I also see the problems coming when Moss realizes he's not getting the ball very much and begins to get upset like he did in Oakland because we all know how Moss plays when he sees that his number isn't being called in the play they're running. Granted I'm a Pats fan but I also know how to call a spade a spade.

Answer 4

As of this moment, it is questionable. He has put up some impressive years in Minnesota, nearly taking them the distance with Carter and Cunningham in '98. However, the past two unproductive years in Oakland and on the field issues (not playing that hard when he doesn't get the ball) and off the field issues (pushing a traffic cop with his car, admission of smoking pot) have hurt his image. But this trade to New England could be the thing that he needs to get in. He will be with the second best quarterback in the league, which will help his stats, and the favorite team to win it all this year. A ring or two and a few good years with Brady will no doubt put him in.

Answer 5

If he don't get his head from up his Axx and understand that he owes the team, and the team does not owe he might. If this season is like last season where he sits on the side line and sulk.

Like at this stage of his career he should be a leader on any team he plays on. Look at last year he was appointed a team leader and then did not even go through the motions.

You may blame the situation on anyone and everyone. If you worked at wal-mart and you did not like the management or department you were working in, if you did not show up and give at least 60%-70% your manager would show you the door.

This idiot showed up and refuse to go to work at practice as well as the games. He called management names and his team mates also. He refused to talk to the media. Who vote for the hall of fame. Well if you don't talk to them they are not gonna vote for you.

Now if he stays straight and lead his team both on the field and off the field as well as practice. This will cause his stock to go up again. He will be judged by how his last few years with the New england team.

All that he has done with the Vikings will not count. It is how he handles himself with New England. His production, attitude, conduct and leadership skills.

I hope he does, but if the question is at this moment "NO"

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

"FIGHT ON"

Answer 6

If he retired right now, No way. He was right on track playing with the Vikings. He was the rookie of the year, and was even considered being an MVP one year, and for a WR thats incredible! He got his Ego in the way though, and went to Oakland. He was lucky if he caught 3 balls a game in Oakland, in Minnesota that was considered an "off day".

No Way at this moment, but if he plays for the Pats, and puts up big numbers, he could be in the same situation like Tiki is, on the cusp of the HOF.

So maybe if he plays like Marvin Harrison in the next 5 years, he might be considered.

Answer 7

I doubt there's a single player in the HOF who had a habit of taking plays off. I don't see Moss being the first. If he plays up to his former abilities (he's lost a few steps for sure) for the next 5 years or so, then maybe. But right now, no way.

Answer 8

Yes, he has the numbers, but as long as he doesn't do his stints that he did in Minnesota, and it doesn't hurt that he will have Brady throwing
him the ball...I think Moss could and should have a break out year, baring injury of course and that Big head syndrome
which if the Pats make it to the super bowl and win it again.....
Canton open your doors cause Moss will be walking in.

Answer 9

Maybe, but that's a long way off.

He does have almost 700 receptions, over 10,000 receiving yards and over 100 touchdowns.

If he stays healthy he will pass Terance Mathis, Gary Clark and maybe Andre Rison on the all-time receptions list and Stanley Morgan and Gary Clark on the receiving yards list.

That will halp his case to be inducted into Canton.

Answer 10

he'll be a hall of famer but not a first ballot one. Maybe after like 15 years of retirment he might make it, but it'll be a while. WR is the hardest position to make the hall of fame.
