Tom Brady & Randy Moss have some unfinished business, can they match their numbers from last year?
I can’t help but think back to Peyton Manning’s 49 TD season, the following year he was being selected way too early, before the top running backs. Brandon Stokley was even benefiting that year after his 10+ TD performance. I had warned people then that Peyton may still indeed be the #1 QB, but to expect 49 TD’s again was ridiculous. In fact I thought that it would be unlikely for him to throw 40. To throw 38 TD’s in a season is a huge accomplishment, and that’s a drop off of 11, (all of Stokley’s TD’s).
With that said, I do believe that Tom Brady and Randy Moss are still the BEST players at their positions and that they just may have the attitude to put up those sort of numbers again.

It won’t happen. No way do they match record breaking seasons. Too many things can go wrong - injury, defensive adjustments. Check out the years following Marino’s 48 TD season and Mannings 49 TD season. Both suffered severe drops. Both were still very good, but not AS good. Brady and Moss will both drop off from last year’s numbers. That is not to say they won’t both be good, but there is no way they match last year’s numbers.
To say they won’t match last year’s numbers is like saying…
well, frankly, they WON’T match last years numbers!
Nobody reproduces a record-breaking year. Maybe Gretsky did a few times but I’d have to look, nobody else comes to my mind.
But, if Brady/Moss come back at 70-80% (which they should…me thinks) they will still fall high in the overall value pick list. Most will undervalue them for this apparently universal thinking, “they will drop-off because of…so…blah-blah-blah”.
Lokk for them ts a better value than expected for those paying attention at their drafts.
