Randy Moss was greatness, wherever you might rank him

Randy Moss has called himself the greatest receiver ever. Was he:

• Displaying the kind of useful arrogance that defined his career?

• Ignoring his own flaws?

• Or making the same kind of modern, analytical argument that has made the Baseball Hall of Fame voting so frustrating and fascinating, that has destroyed certainty when it comes to evaluating greatness?

Moss will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend. His fans have progressed from worrying whether he would enter the Hall of Fame on the first ballot to debating whether he ranks first among all receivers.
