All the QB had to do was the throw the ball deep and Moss would catch it.

Moss refused to try. He gave up on routes. Just because he was the only threat and his team was going to lose even if he had a good game, he decided not to play. It was choice, not talent. Moss is not deserving of the Hall of Fame for this fact alone.

The lack of a offensive game plan. Randy was the #1 in Oakland and every team knew it. In NE he is part of a very well planned out offense. He isn't the #1 player but the #1 reciever.
The raiders never had a combination of a good QB and O-line when Moss was there. He either had a good QB sorry line or a ok line and a bad QB.
As a Pat Randy is a big part and in the NFL you can stop a player not a system.

That's simply not true. Randy Moss has basically proven to be useless if he does not have a good quarterback and a good system to play in. In Oakland he had a poor offense and a quarterback who did not always get him the ball. And the FACT is that when they did get him the ball, he often dropped it. That's the truth. The problem was his attitude. If he is not in a winning atmosphere, he doesn't try. That is why I would never want him on my team. If not for the work ethic and success of his teammates, Moss wouldn't be any better in New England than he was in Oakland. His coach and QB won't let him be the attitude he sometimes is, and their success aids in keeping his attitude under control. It is not as simple as just throwing the ball deep and Moss catching it. If you really believe that, you don't really know football very well.

It was QB Aaron Brooks with no offensive line to give him time to get it to Moss and he was the only guy on the feild to cover.

Because most people here don't watch the games they watch ESPN. If they get rid of T.O who is going to be the threat down the field. Roy Williams they will end up like the Giants they thought they were so much better without Plaxico and look how far they made it. I think they don't know who they are on the cowboys

like you said, the qb had to throw the ball deep
too bad the QB would think the other teams safeties and cornerbacks are his receivers, and throw to them

He didn't have a reliable quarterback in Oakland like he does in New England.
