Of course he should. It matters what he does on the field, not off. And if anything would weight against him not making it in, im pretty sure it would be when he ran over a meter maid and not his viking statements
Stats don't matter. Neither Moss nor Owens made any real long term contributions to their TEAMS, and certainly none that wasn't counter-balanced by harm. Say what you want, but LT and Irvin helped their teams, regardless of how they were as a person. That being said, yes he will because you can't forget stats, but no he shouldn't because he has HURT his teams as much as helped.
Hmmm he is the number one WR on the top two rated offenses in NFL history. Second most TD catches in the history of football.... Basically caught the game winning TD in the superbowl for an undefeated team. If the Pats D holds up for one series then he gets a ring. Best deep threat in nfl history bar none. Sure he has numerous bad qualitys but think about it.... This dude takes plays off and people say hes a quitter yet he STILL has top 2-3 stats of anyone ever? Insane.

Does Randy Moss have a great chance getting in the HOF? Yes, he's got the talent and numbers for the HOF. However though, I would refuse to vote for someone who will and has quit on their team if I had a vote.
Should Randy Moss get into the Hall of Fame No cause to me great players help a team out Moss destoried teams in much the same way in TO does but he will get in cause let be honest the stats will get him in
yes he deserves it and yes he will get in he is a great FB player the HOF is not for a team or who helped their teams or not.....this is an individual reward based on talent and play on the field.
I would love to know exactly which teams he destroyed... please tell me. The Pats? They are they are 6-2. The Vikes? They were bad before he got there this year. The Raiders? We were terrible before and after he left. hmmmm....
if people voted him out of the hall of fame due to his personality and his actions, the NFL Hall of Fame would be a disgrace just like the Baseball Hall of Fame for banning Pete Rose for actions he did not as a player
this right here. Im sure he hurt his TEAMS in new england, considering they havent had a bad season since he got there, he MADE Wes Welker, who he is. And if he quit on any plays the year they went undefeated, how many touchdowns would he of really had? Would of been more then 23... Which I guess, 23 touchdowns isnt helping your team, as much as it is hurting them. If Randy Moss is not a Hall Of Famer in your opinion, you need to put the hateraide down, And realize the world isnt made up of these perfect players that you consider role models, because quite frankly.. not everybody has the same type of Role Models, Not everybody wants to be Tom Brady, who never does anything wrong.

Thing about Moss is that if he had a work ethic worth a crap he would be running away with the GOAT title. Hes so supremely talented that hes been coasting his whole career and still been outstanding. As good as he has been, and yes he is a HOF lock, he'll always be considered a dissapointment to me because he should have been so much better. Can you imagine how good a dude like Rice (whose work ethic was beyond compare, making up for his lack of measurables) could have been with Moss' natural talent and physical ability? Holy crap.
Tom Brady? Ask Bridget Moynahan how she feels about Tommy being a "Choir Boy." The HoF is for on field performance. Otherwise Charlie Batch would be in contention...lol.
Could it be that Moss has had a horse crap attitude? Could it be that he half asses some of the routes he runs? Could be be him saying "I play when I want to" back in 2001? I guess the HOF voters will vote him in if they want to.
i agree 100%. I have always felt like Moss has robbed all of us of seeing his true potential. The guy could have been the goat. however, in the same respect, i can't hate the dude for it because it is his life to live as he wants (ala Barry Sanders retiring early). I WISH that Barry had played longer and that Moss loved the game, but I can't really fault them for just living as they want.
