They finished 3-3 with out him, if you count the New Orleans game where he got hurt and went 5-5 with him.

he could have just not played. moss on the field, the defense has to respect him.
as far as the vikings record goes, their defense was absolutely horrendous. and moss scored 13 touchdowns in 10 games... it would seem that he was certainly productive.
does he "dog it" on plays? sure, he admits it.
does he lead the team. i don't know, as i don't play for them, but a good or a great player doesn't have to lead the team in football. when the cowboys had there run in the 90s, was it troy's team, emmitt's team, or irvin's team? idk.. but i do know all three of them were great players.
just look at the numbers that he's put up in his first 7 years in the league, they're astonishing! there are very few wide receivers in the league that can compete with that.
while i can see how his behavior, both on the field and off the field, can upset some people, i don't think that one can say that moss isn't good.
seems like last season, a lot of people wanted to say t.o. wasn't worth it... maybe this is the next iteration of a misunderstood receiver.

not to mention that the raider mantra has been and always will be to throw the ball deep. didn't do it much during the gruden years, but now that he's gone, the long ball is back.
i can only imagine if we resign porter, and add moss...
