Who is a better player, Terrell Owens or Randy Moss?

Question

I'm stumped here...

Player wise I think Randy Moss would receive the award. He's always diving 6 feet, jumping 5 feet, avoiding and running past 5 defenders, just to catch the ball. He plays every play like it decides the game. He is just so skilled when he runs out and catches the ball that you can have your whole defense go after him but he'll find a way to catch the ball, that's for sure. He also has better stats than Terrell Owens by a bit this year.

Person wise I'd have to go with Terrell Owens. He's the better entertainer of the two. If you remember the Sharpie incident a couple years ago, or if you didn't, Terrell Owens caught the ball in the endzone for a touchdown, then took a black sharpie out of his ankle socks, signed the ball, and threw it into the crowd. He's a great entertainer otherwise so this award would go to him.

They've both had character problems in the past. Randy Moss was reportedly a bad teammate in Oakland and Terrell Owens with the Donovon McNabb incident.

Answer 1

Randy Moss...He is the best receiver in the NFL this year...The stats speak for themselves...Leading in TD receptions and yards...

The sharpie incident with TO just shows how self-centered and egomaniacal he is...Randy Moss has grown up a lot since being on the Pats...Moss is a team player...

Just wait until Dallas crumbles in the playoffs or before that, and TO will call out Romo just like he did McNabb...

Answer 2

Career Stats: Randy Moss= 189 games, 14604 yards, 151 touchdowns. Terrell Owens= 208 games, 15103 yards, 144 touchdowns. Averages: Randy Moss= 77.27 yards per game, 0.80 touchdowns per game. Terrell Owens= 72.6 yards per game, 0.69 touchdowns per game. It has been said that Randy Moss would have been the greatest receiver to ever step onto a football field if he didn't have his "I play when I wanna play" attitude. While Randy Moss will never be able to compete with Jerry Rice for the G.O.A.T (Greatest of All Time) he is without a doubt the second best receiver in NFL history. So if Randy Moss is #2, and Terrell Owens is not #1, then by deduction we see that Randy Moss is the better "all time player" than Terrell Owens.

Answer 3

Rand Moss and T.O are great WR. But I think T.O is the better one. The only reason why Moss is geting so many TDs and yards is becuz Brady is always throwing the deep ball to him. Moss does not have respect for his team. I mean, he got angry when the Raiders lost when he was part of the loss. T.O and McNabb probably have set their differences and may their playing do the talking. T.O is definitely the more entertaining one. Even though he can get fined by the NFL he is still give the fans what they want and they want to not only see their team do good but also see something funny or get something from one of the players, etc. I think if T.O and Romo can connect just like how Brady and Moss are, they can go all the way. Randy Moss I would say is a ball hog and T.O the entertainer.

Answer 4

Before this year I'd not have wanted either, and was a bit worried when they traded for Moss. However losing only a 4th rounder for the potential...I must say he has been an outstanding teammate so far, on the surface it looks like he's bought into the team concept and has become a valueable addition.

TO has always been a bit too self centered for me, he has relaxed a bit this year but is still looking for the attention to be on him, not the team. I don't dislike him as much as I used to but he'll still too outspoken to be just a teammate.

Stats, well, can't complain about either one.

Answer 5

MOSS.....compare stats numbers dont lie

Moss leads in all catagories.not by much but still leads.Moss has an unbelievable one handed spider man catch he makes on a regular basis.its amazing.I didnt know what to make of him when he first came here to New England.But he is having the best year of his career.hopefully he will stick around for a a few more years.I dont think the Patriots would have taken the risk on T O . wait for Dallas to start losing and you will see he hasnt matured like Moss has.

Answer 6

lets face it I am not a fan of either player. I am Cowboys fan and I am slowly warming up to the fact TO is wearing cowboy colors. But he is selfish and as Skip Bayless calls him a team obliterater. Randy Moss is the same way look at his last year in Minnesota and his 2 years in Oakland. Look at what TO did his last year in San Fran and then his 2 years in Philly. Both players feel like need to be the center of the attention and if they are playing on bad teams with a bad cast around them they dont try as hard and voice their disapproval in the public in front of the media. But I think Moss is the better all round player. He is tall, fast, outsanding leaper and he catches everything. There isnt one player defensively who can cover Moss and he knows that. I think the last few years TO has diminished with the exception of this year. With the emergence of Crayton and Hurd and maybe even another your receiver and healthy terry glenn next year I dont see TO numbers close to where they are this year.

Answer 7

You cannot go wrong with either one of them. They are both football receiving stud kings. I might give a slight edge to randy moss but I would love to have terrel owens on my team too.

Answer 8

I'd have to say Randy Moss.. sure he had his issues in Oakland, but now he's a team player, and making some incredible plays...

TO, has a big mouth, and doesn't know when to shut up... he may be a good receiver, but, he's definately not a team player, he's always showboating...

Answer 9

I believe that Terrel Owens is better because he has more TD catches even with a QB that isn't as good as Tom Brady. Also, Terrel Owens was droping a lot of catches last year so he came in with less confidence and is still doing better. Finally, Terrel Owens came to a new team last year and wasn't used to the team but became a part of the family. A lot of people disliked him also, so his support wasn't great.

Answer 10

Randy Moss and not just because I hate Terrell Owens either.
