I would say Steve Young/Jerry Rice or Dave Krieg/Steve Largent. Who do you think was the best pair?

Montana to Rice = G.O.A.T to G.O.A.TRenegade_Fury

This is the correct answer. Unlike the Brady/Moss tandem they finished the job and won titles. Dave Krieg, the all-time NFL leader in fumbles? Mentioned in the same sentence as Joe Montana? I think not.

Correct. To answer anything other than Montana to Rice should be construed as ignorant.. While brady to moss set records last season, that is only 1 season and not ALL TIME. While Brady to moss was great last year, Montana to Rice shredded defenses for years on end!

Dave Krieg ranks 15th in most passing catagories. Steve Laregnt held most recieving records before Jerry Rice came along. That sounds like a solid combination to me.

Montana to Rice for the Rings

Manning To Harrison for the numbers

I mean either duo was better than any other duo known to man in there heyday....although Brady and Moss could end up killing it if Brady and Moss Stay Strong for another 5 years.

Because they broke NFL records in that first year.

I agree and disagree. Definitely not Brady and Moss, but I think it's Manning and Harrison. The numbers speak for themselves...

But its history overall, not best in one season.

Because they broke NFL records in that first year.

That's because they played against inferior competition (I say this because of salary cap there are far fewer juggernaut teams out there, and the game has become far more pass friendly in general), played every game, and all while running up the score. Peyton Manning would have still had the TD record if he went all out for 16 games too. As for Moss's TD record, Rice made that record in a 12 game season due to the strike. Also let's not forget the two SBs Montana and Rice won together, as well as the records and clutch moments they shared together during those playoff runs and throughought their careers. I could go on, but you get the idea. Brady and Moss are going to have play lights out for the remainder of their careers if they're going to take the mantle from these legends.

Your question was who's best. Not 15th best. Largent on the other hand was a legitimate all-time great player.

15th best QB in NFL history isn't something to take lightly, and when you pair it up with one of the best recievers who has ever played, you have a great matchup. I think Young/Montana and Rice was the best combitnation, but I was trying to think of a couple runner ups.

In my time: Peyton/Harrison. Also, I'm surprise people talking about the future of Brady/Moss and something like: "next 5 years". Get this straight: Tom Brady as we know it is OVER. He's no more.
