Well, also enter Lamont Jordan, who was one of the most effective backs in the league last year when he got the opportunity to touch the ball.
Also, Kerry's value hasn't so much come in the ability to get more yards per attempt or complete a higher rate of his passes (which have marginally improved, though) which is where you'd expect a big reciever like Moss to have his most significant effect... it's come in less interceptions. I'm sure Moss has contributed to lowering Collins' picks by drawing coverage away from his #2 and #3 guys... but I would doubt he's improved Kerry's int% by as much as it has been improved.
Again, not saying Moss isn't a factor, and Lamont is Oakland's true savior... just trying to show you that there are plenty of other factors at work here too.
