Best duo ever?

It's going to be hard for Randy Moss and Tom Brady to replace Joe Montana/Steve Young and Jerry Rice as the best QB/WR tandem in NFL history. But, while it's only four games into their time together, the possibility is very real.

Prior to the season, I posed the following age old question to many of my friends: "Does a great QB make his receivers better or does a great receiver make his QB better?"

I always side with the receiver. Not to take anything away from Brady, but he wasn't putting up these kind of gaudy numbers with such big names as Deion Branch, David Patten, David Givens, Troy brown and Jabar Gaffney. Granted, he has three Super Bowl rings, but those could be attributed to many other factors of the Patriots' system.

Now, with Moss, Wes Welker and Donte Stallworth in the mix, Brady is on pace to break Peyton Manning's record for TD pass in a season (49). Brady has 13 thus far. It'll be hard to do because he'll be playing in the frigid winter conditions in Foxboro come November as opposted to the comfort of a dome, but it's still a possibility.

Meanwhile, Randy Moss has decided that it's okay to play football again now that he's out of Oakland--the NFL's version of hell. I don't necessarily agree with his attitude. When athletes are being paid as much as they are, they should give 110 percent at all times no matter where they're playing. But, it's nice to see that he's gotten his career back on track.

For my avid readers, you're probably asking why I am writing about the New England Patriots. Did I jump ship on the Chicago Bears? No. Did I jump on their bandwagon? No, not really. I simply have a great deal of respect for Tom Brady and enjoy watching Randy Moss make opposing CB's look like they don't even exist.

Oh yeah, and somehow the other 11 guys in my fantasy league let me wind up with both Brady and Moss on my fantasy team. To quote Borat, "Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeee!"

One final note: Through 4 games, has their ever been a better line for a Wide Receiver? Moss currently has an eye-popping 31 catches for 505 yards and 7 TD's. If he stays remotely close to those numbers this trade--the Pats' gave up only a single 4th round draft pick for him--will go down as the greatest trade in sports history.

Why can't the Bears ever luck into a Brady type at QB? Why can't they ever pull off a trade for a guy like Moss?
