Except for living up there, you took the words right out of my mouth. He can run the routes, and he can hold onto the balls. Matt Hasselbeck isn't a bad QB. He could be really good if he had somebody more reliable to go to. The only thing about Rice is that he lacks the speed to be a downfield threat, but he will be quite useful in certain situations.
To go further off topic, on the issue of Moss, you've heard about the fox and the hedgehog. The fox knows a lot of things, but is an expert at none of them. The hedgehog knows only one big thing (hunker down and let the spikes do the work, if ya can't figure it out). Anyway, even if Moss isn't a "complete" receiver, he's a hedgehog. He knows one big thing. Stretching the field, making the catch, and scoring the TD.
It's just like video games (or any other game). All you need is to master one effective strategy, and you can win just about every time.
