So, What About the Moss for Rodgers Rumors?

On the surface, it would appear that bringing Randy Moss to Green Bay is the Batmobile of bad ideas.

At first glance you might think that bringing in a lazy, pot smoking, locker room cancer and all-around douchebag who has personally and directly insulted your fans is about as good an idea as letting Marquand Manuel drop coverage for another 16 games (but his pirouettes are nice).

I guess the theory goes that past history will absolutely NEVER EVER repeat itself. So what - if Moss has been a destructive force on two different teams? So what- if we've seen other loudmouth players like TO create a circus at three different franchises? Since history NEVER repeats itself, there's absolutely no reason to fear that it will happen here. Right?

I mean, our team is young and seems to be stocked with high character individuals, ...why would we want to protect that? It's not like there's any chance that Moss will be a bad influence on anyone. So what - if he acts like an unrepentant petulant shitstain and still gets millions of dollars, lots of attention, and many second chances? That's the type of example our young players SHOULD be seeing, right?

Furthermore, we all know how well Moss runs routes. Just remember all those highlight clips of him going over the middle or finding precise cracks in zone coverage or diving into traffic on a quick slant. Yeah, he's a super fit for our team.

So, there's no reason to go after other free agents like Joe Horn (who has experience with our head coach), or Drew Bennet (a good 3rd receiver), or Donte Stallworth (experienced in the system).

Nope, those are all dead-ends. It's Moss all the way baby.

Why do I have this sick feeling in my stomach?
