When I look at Moss, the measurables speak for themselves. And when you look at the long list of players that have had success when Moss was on their team and then have basically disapeared afterwards, his impact on his team is pretty easy to see.
And yes, he's one of the best for quotables too.  I thought this mix sums him up pretty well:

Lmao!!...Man I love that guy..Im all for the player taunting the media and speaking their mind. It never gets old watching the Moss's, T.O.'s, and other players stirring up the wasp nests. Of course you have to have the talent to back it up. You cant be an average caliber player and expect to survive the return fire from the media. I think it brings a whole nother approach to the game and makes it all that more interesting. T.O. use to say if you want me to shut up..then shut me up. Some players like Rice just had that quiet classy demeanor about them. Which is fine and very respectable, but I also like the loud flambouyant ones. They seem to get under the skin of their opponent and use it to their advantage during a game.
