Packers make feeler offer for now retired Keyshawn Johnson

[GBRulz]

I agree (mostly) with your take on Aaron Rodgers. Where we may differ is that I've seen little that gives me hope in Aaron Rodgers. He appears lost when he enters the game. He seems to lack that IT quality.

Favre often seemed lost in his first 2 years as a Packer. He got by merely on his ridiculous talent most of the time...which Rodgers clearly doesn't have, along with 99% of other QBs.

Favre also had Sharpe to throw to. I truly think that having a top WR like that helped his progression as a QB. It gave him alot of confidence, which is key. That was one of the biggest reasons why I wanted Moss to come here, for Rodgers. I think a top WR can do wonders for bringing a young QB along.

back to keshawn, he turned down 8m to play for the Titans and didn't really like the offer by GB (whatever it was) and play with Favre. More than likely he wanted 8M and play with Favre, but Gb said we will have incentives rather than guarantee you the money. With Johnson it isthe money, he already has a ring so it just money. ESPN must be showing a better cash value than the NFL.

The whole deal about whether Rodgers has 'it' or not has been hashed out a million times on this board alone.

While I don't agree with the direction TT has taken in building this team, I have to think he and MM see something in Rodgers. At minimum the ability to be a competant starter.

They wouldn't keep him around, and cut their own necks, just to be obstinate. And MM has no reason to hold on to him at all. There'll be camp bodies, etc around this fall. If Rodgers is as bad as some think he is, he'll be gone by the end of TC this fall.

[PackerBlues]

At best, Keyshawn would have been a large target in the red zone. If one of our young guys cannot fill that need this year, I certainly wont be crying about how we should have picked up Keyshawn. On the other hand, Moss in my opinion still had some wheels, and would have complimented not just Driver, but Jennings as well.
Again, its a moot point, however if Moss returns to his Pro Bowl form with NE, Thompson is going to be looking pretty damned stupid.

No, because he was a TT first round pick. GM's are to stubburn to admit when they have effed up. Now i, like you guiness, dont agree with the way that TT is takin the team, but we disagree on Rodgers. The little times hes gotten to play , has he dont anything? Yes i know its shit time but still i havent seen a glimpse of anything from this kid. And personally i think TT's throat would be cut faster if they released him now and admited he was a bust(not saying that he is) but its smarter for TT to keep him for a while because first fans arent real happy with TT to start of with and secound he would take even more shit.

[PackerBlues]

To be honest with you, I cannot see why they got rid of Craig Nall. He looked a hell of a lot better than Rogers did. In my opinion anyway. Shit for all that it matters up to this point, lol.......they could have kept Pederson and used that first round pick on a player or position that we actually needed.

Someone get Gureski on the Nall Phone!

[the_idle_threat]

Oh shit ... here we go again with Nall! Too bad we let him go to the Bills, who made him the highest-paid 3rd string QB in the league!

[The Leaper]

Craig Nall?

Sheesh. Buffalo NEEDS a QB and Nall can't even get a sniff of the first team on the practice field. Yet another of Sherman's failed draft choices.

[PackerBlues]

We could have used Robert Ferguson as our backup QB for all that it matters. Questioning weather or not Rogers has talent has been moot. He was just our first "wasted first round pick" under Thompson, certainly not the last though.

BH, when do you finish school? We finished today

[Scott Campbell]

We always can't use the excuse that he hasn't really had time yet to prove one way or the other what he can do.

Why not?

Valid points, but rumor has it that Moss only wanted to sign a one-year contract (which is what he signed with NE), so he could prove his worth and get one last decent payday. Very little chance, IMHO, that Moss would have resigned here if Favre wasn't here.
