Jason Whitlock does a superb job of summing up Randy Moss' career. HM has a poll on his blog on Randy Moss and his Hall of Fame chances. After reading Whitlock's column, I am persuaded that Moss should be a first ballot HOF, despite all his issues on and off the field

We always expect those with great talent to be even better than they are. Examples -- Shaq, Vince Carter, LeBron, Manning, Wilt.
Yet the true greats who do always win (Rice, Emmett, Montana, Russell, Jeter) you hear people say, "well, it was the system..." or "sure, but they had great players around them" or even "overrated because their team hid their weaknesses."
The only exceptions I can recall -- Jordan (his 2 year absence cements the case that it was, in fact, basically all Jordan) and Gretzky.
Moss isn't first-ballot material.
I hope you have stated this opinion to HM. He turn offense to my arguments agaisnt Moss as a first ballot.
