Chris Mortensen: GB source confirms Favre wants Moss

[BF4MVP]

if you buy a million dollar house, and let the yard and pool and driveway all go to hell, don't pay the heating bill so all the pipes blow up causing water damage everywhere, never clean it up, and have animals running around pissing and shitting everywhere. you wouldn't get your million dollars back when you go to sell it a year later. even though that million dollar house probably just needs a new owner to turn it back around

Nice post.

Trading for Moss is just such a no-brainer, it's unbelievable..Whether you like him or not, the guy is a Hall of Famer who if he came here would be catching passes from another Hall of Famer, and he's the vertical threat that this team has lacked since 2004..In fact, a motivated, productive Moss (which is what he could be playing with Brett) is much better than Javon Walker ever was..We need a playmaker at wide receiver? There aren't any better than Moss available, and it's not close..Moss in Minnesota pretty much defined the term "playmaker" and would have done so in Oakland if he had a quarterback who could throw him the damn ball...The fact that we are talking about being able to get him for a third rounder and Martin/Fergie/Holiday should have every single Packer fan hoping that TT pulls the trigger..I can't understand why any Packer fan would be opposed to a move like this..If the Raiders are willing to trade him to us for that price, it should be the easiest personnel decision that TT will ever have to make during his tenure here, and Packer fans should be jumping up and down..Even if he didn't pan out (which I think he would), it's not like we would be giving up a lot to get him..TT would probably trade down and end up with an extra third rounder on draft day anyways....

Here's a column in support of trading for Moss

Mike Vandermause column: Packers should consider trading for Moss


The vision of Randy Moss pretending to moon Green Bay Packers fans at Lambeau Field during a Minnesota Vikings’ playoff victory two years ago is hard to forget.


That’s why reaction to rumors that Moss could be traded to the Packers has been decidedly mixed.

Moss is a five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver capable of filling the offensive playmaker role the Packers so desperately need. But with his extraordinary skill comes potential baggage, which is something the Packers must ponder long and hard.

At first glance, the thought of Moss wearing a Packers’ uniform seems far-fetched. His demeanor and attitude don’t appear to be a good fit in Green Bay.

But stranger things have happened. Who would have predicted in 1996 that often misunderstood receiver Andre Rison would become an integral part of the Packers team that marched to a Super Bowl title?

During his short tenure here, Rison had no trouble fitting into a small-town environment. Winning tends to dissolve problems and shrink egos.

Who’s to say Moss couldn’t come to Green Bay and become the bona fide deep threat Brett Favre has been longing for? Moss would be a perfect complement to Pro Bowl receiver Donald Driver. Moss and Driver would form the most dynamic receiving tandem Favre has seen, and opposing defenses would be severely tested.

Favre and Moss at one time had the same agent, Bus Cook. The players reportedly share a mutual respect. There can be no doubt Favre would love the opportunity to throw to Moss.

For that to become a reality, numerous obstacles must be cleared.

It’s no secret Moss’ team, the Oakland Raiders, have been shopping him around. Moss had a disastrous two-year stint in Oakland. With no decent quarterback to throw him the ball and playing on an abysmal 2-14 club, Moss caught just 42 passes for 553 yards last year.

Some say he quit on his team. Others suggest the Raiders quit on him.

His less-than-stellar 2006 season has made Moss both available and affordable. The Raiders gave up a first-round draft pick (No. 7 overall), seventh-round pick and linebacker Napoleon Harris for Moss in March 2005. The asking price should be much less this time around.

The best guess is it would take a second-round draft pick to get Moss, who will turn 30 next week.

Packers General Manager Ted Thompson made it clear he made no promises to Favre about bolstering the offense. Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy are adamant that no player - even Favre - will dictate how they rebuild the team.
Thompson would rather stockpile draft picks than give them away, which makes a trade less likely.

There also is Moss’ 2007 base salary of more than $9 million to consider. The Packers have enough room under the salary cap and could restructure the terms of the deal, but the sometimes-temperamental Moss wouldn’t come cheap.

However, it’s rare when a special player like Moss is available. Assuming the trade terms are reasonable, the Packers should take a risk on a legitimate difference-maker.

Fans will have to forgive Moss for his past antics. But that’s a small price to pay to acquire someone who can ignite the offense and elevate the Packers into a contending team.

If Moss is still so good why are posters making excuses for his poor performance last year and his crummy attitude.

Ugh. No Moss.

Ugh. No Moss.

Is it debateable to say he had sh@t throwing to him ? The excuses IMO need not go any further than that fact.

Regarding his morale, I think going from Andrew Walter to Brett Favre is going to have a positive effect on your mindset, regardless of how wacky you may be.

Anyone else think this thread gets massive over the next month of speculation?

Anyone remember when massive meant cool?

No doubt Moss respects Favre. With a good QB..which Oakland obviously hasn't had...Moss would once again be a top WR in this league.

is mooning really a bad thing?

many people hate him just for the fact that he FAKE mooned the fans

but is that horrible, or is it a sign of disrespect?

i have seen a ton of folks from wisconsin drop their pants and flash their ass. never once have i seen it done during a fight or between one person that doesn't like another. everytime i've seen it, it has been for fun. something done between friends to get a laugh

its not like he flashed his ass and shoved some kids face into it, or took a giant dump on the G at midfield. he didn't score and flip off the crowd. he didn't grab his crotch and yell to the fans to "suck it".

the reason packer fans hate it is because he just scored a TD to hurt us, and that jackass anouncer made such a huge deal out of it. i missed the fake moon when it first happened and i thought for sure he showed his bare ass to the crowd after listening to theat idiot go on and on about it. it wasn't until after the game that i saw a highlight. and i laughed my ass off

i never once saw it as a sign of disrestect, i saw it as him joking around with the rival crowd. i saw nothing wrong with it, and think a lot of other folks should grow up and quit blowing little tiny things way out of proportion

its like we're in third grade. you're offended my someone fake mooning you?

get over it

Yep, the TD hurt much more than the dumb stuff.

Remember our days of wandering in the desert following the LJ debacle at JSO and we all had to hang out at the Christian website and the mods would edit words like penis out of our posts.

Those were weird times.

Actually, that would be funny to see, in a sick sort of way. Imagine having the bowel control to be able to call one up at the appropriate moment. Impressive.
