Vincent Jackson is easily better than Moss right now. But I doubt the Patriots do this. Now their top three receivers are Welker - Tate - Edelman, and Taylor Price will probably start being active on gamedays now.
What? Vince Jackson is easily better than Moss right now?
Because he's had 2 decent seasons?
Moss 2009:
83 catches, 1264 yards, 13 TDs.
Jacksons 2009:
68 catches, 1167 yards, 9 TDs.
Moss 2008:
68 catches, 1008 yards, 11 TDs.
Jacksons 2008:
59 catches, 1098 yards, 7 TDs.
Jackson has had 2 seasons over 1000 yards in his entire career, and they were barely over 1000. He's never caught 10 TDs.
Moss has had 3 seasons in a row over 1,000 yards and 10 TDs.
Vincent Jackson is 6'5", can run, and has had Phillip Rivers throwing to him his entire career. Why is he barely a borderline 1000 yard receiver?
He's nothing special. Every good QB in this league turns their number 1 WR into a 1000 yard / 8 TD guy.
