Aaron Rodgers / Picks Vs Randy Moss / Courtney Anderson
If true, this deal works very nicely for the Raiders. They get a solid QB who has learned for 2 years under Brett Favre. They also lose Moss's poor chemistry. My guess is that the Raiders will take Calvin Johnson #1. He will take Moss's place, and then some.
The Packers are now in the market for a QB of the future and a RB. Their WR and TE problems are kind of fixed, but then what?
Why even bother putting Anderson in the trade, he is terrible. I'd be a happy Raiders fan if that happened though, just getting Moss out would make me happy actually.
Well, with Kiffin there, he knows what Rodgers is all about. He coached against him for several years at USC. I think they're going off that scouting report, plus the benefit in the locker room when Moss is gone...
I must say though, as it pertains to Ted Thompson, I would be shocked that he would ship out "his guy" and risk the long term stability of the franchise for a one, maybe two year shot at making some noise in the playoffs. They either really are not sold on Rogers (which is odd since they drafted him) or they are really feeling the pressure to do something for Lord Favre in his last season or two.
Either way, I wouldn't love shipping off your QB of the future, but it does make them a better team in the short run at a time when the Bears could potentially be vulnerable.

Well there have been rumors of the organization not being high on Rodgers since before the draft last year, but it was assumed that they were just a smokescreen.
Personally, I think trading for Aaron Rodgers and passing on JaMarcus Russell would be the biggest mistake the Raiders could possibly make. I might be in the minority on that one, but I'd try and trade Moss for a draft pick straight up.
Obviously, Lane Kiffin thinks he knows something about Rodgers, so he's making the move. He can still take Russell or Quinn, but that seems unlikely now. I would obviously prefer it (as an NFL fan) if the Raiders didn't tank this season...
I think the raiders are making a terrible mistake if they get a-rod. Any packer fan knows hes not a starting qb in this league. Just go back and look at what hes done in his short playing time. Granted its not much to judge from but god did he look terrible. Its a proven fact that "tedford system qb's" dont make it in the nfl. What makes a-rod any different? As a packer fan I would love to see the deal done. Why? because we all know a-rod is not the longterm answer for the pack. Yes we wasted a first round pick on him but sometimes you have to take a loss and move on.

Any Packer fan would know this.
Aaron Rodgers has never started a game. So I'm not quite sure were you get "terribe" from.
Remember that Kiffen has a lot of college experience with Walter. It's possible that he thinks Walter can be the guy with some competition from Rodgers. This would free them to take CJ, who could be a great "security blanket" for Walter's development. The key to all this working is the OL, of course, as Watler's limited mobility is a hindrance if he can't get any time to throw.

i don't think you want any qb learning under favre. Sure he is great but it's his own personal style, he's reckless and will take chance most qb's dont want. It works for him but wouldn't work teaching it to an understudy.
