Brett Favre is reportedly making a pitch for the Packers to bring in Randy Moss. According to profootballtalk.com, Green Bay has already offered QB Aaron Rodgers.
On the surface, this idea seems can’t-miss for Green Bay. Donald Driver is aging, Greg Jennings and Robert Ferguson battled injuries last year, and Koren Robinson is in and out of jail. Plus, apples for apples, giving up a huge project in Rodgers for a proven veteran like Moss is a potential steal, although it seems far-fetched that that’s all Oakland would want.
There is no issue when Moss is winning, but look at the disaster he is right now in Oakland. Seriously, watch Moss run an out pattern when he knows he isn’t getting the ball. Watch how he barely fights for the ball if it isn’t a potential touchdown. Watch how he doesn’t cut off his routes when the quarterback is in trouble, and look at his sideline demeanor. Why sacrifice a promising receiver’s game time like Jennings or a highly touted rookie (Dwayne Jarrett maybe?) if Green Bay goes that route in the draft? One could say that he would be more motivated with Favre, but what happens when Favre finally does retire and the Packers bring in a young quarterback or free agent? Is Moss going to behave for the new guy like he presumably will for Favre? Moss may help the Packers get to the playoffs this year, but what happens when or if things start to fall apart? Why should anyone think his actions would be different than they are right now in Oakland?
And remember, Moss just turned 30, not 23.
