One more season before watching the Packers looses much of the appeal! The most popular pro football player ever - gives us one more year |

So it's a "Good Friday" Greg?? Eh, eh??? All kidding aside, I agree the league is better for him coming back for what I believe will be his penultimate season. Records to be broken, a Madden with an unhealthy love of Mr. Favre, and again, records to be broken. Just pray he doesn't turn into Brad Johnson overnight Packer fans!!! |

Purple to Black to Green and Gold March 16, 2007 Written by Ken Hollern - PackerChatters Staff So Randy Moss is a Packer. Maybe it isn't official yet, and maybe it is. Maybe it will happen tomorrow, and maybe it won't happen for another month. Regardless, it’s a done deal. Buzz of the current level isn’t generated without some underlying truth, even in this age of media frenzy. I reserve the right to be wrong; but – my internal sources tell me – the only sticking point is whether or not Randy’s game day pants can be cheekless. Oakland, with the first overall pick, will draft another “once in a generation” freak in Georgia Tech’s Calvin Johnson and, for financial and personnel reasons, Moss will not be a Raider next year. He is going to be traded because the Raiders want something – anything – in return before they cut him. The Packers have more interest in Moss than any other team. Other potential suitors have gone in a different direction and Brett Favre wants Randy Moss on this team. Sure, Ted Thompson proclaims he doesn’t acquiesce to the wishes of Brett Favre. He probably doesn’t. On the other hand, I tell friends my wife isn’t going to tell me when I need to pick my socks up off the floor and throw them down the chute. Still, every time she does laundry they’re sitting pretty on top of the pile. Bob Harlan has said calls to him are overwhelmingly against Moss becoming a Packer. Apparently (paraphrasing him) Packers fans are taking the moral high-ground and do not want such a negative player on their team. Let me be the voice of the silent majority. C’mon people! We aren’t talking about Charles Manson, we’re talking about a player who had one minor brush with the law and is known to pout from time to time. On the other hand, he’s put up 10+ touchdowns in six of his nine NFL seasons, and, over 15 touchdowns three times. He has a career average of 11.2 touchdowns per year. Would that productivity have helped our anemic red zone offense in 2006? He posted those career numbers despite living in obscurity for the last two years on a dreadful team with terrible quarterbacks. In seven years at Minnesota he averaged nearly 13 touchdowns and over 1300 yards. Bottom line – if Randy Moss can regain some semblance of his pre-Raider form the Packers immediately go from middle to upper tier in the NFC. In the NFL elite receivers are generally productive into their mid-thirties. Randy Moss just turned 30. Imagine Wayne Larrivee calling his play by play for this December 2007 formation. “Third and nine, Packer’s offense comes to the line…Brett Favre under center, Randy Moss and Koren Robinson split wide to the right and left respectively. Donald Driver and Greg Jennings lined up inside them in the slot. Marshawn Lynch the lone running back…” The above foursome would arguably be the top group of wide receivers in the NFL. I relish the thought of having one or two receivers who can stretch the field. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see if our running game is more effective when the other team’s defensive backs and linebackers don’t dare crowd the line of scrimmage? How successful would Donald Driver and Greg Jennings be in the middle of the field when teams had to roll a safety over the top for a potential deep route by Moss? Furthermore, I recall Ron Wolf’s signing of a tainted Andre Rison key to winning Superbowl XXXI. Please – I implore – let’s view this situation sensibly. Moss doesn’t have near the baggage Rison did and is twice the talent. The Green Bay Packers are starving for playmakers. Release those inner feelings of hate toward the receiver who, despite triple-coverage, used to catch three touchdowns a game against us. We should embrace Randy Moss and his 101 career touchdowns with open arms. No risk, no reward. |

He's still not a Packer of this writing and all parties are denying the trade. Although I'd welcome his return to the NFC North with open arms, it'd provide me with much fodder for my Pigskin Prognostications for the upcoming season. And to think but four years ago, the lad was wiping his bottom against the goalposts at Lambeau. And by the way: Randy has a bad back. And he's due to get paid about $9 million+ this year. Enjoy. If it goes through. |
