Speak for yourself, my Dad would kneecap Favre and push him down a flight of stairs.
Your dad must be Fran Tarkenton!

I'm not sure what you think I was trying to say. I'm trying to point out two things:
(1) There is a specific rule that limits what the Patriots can get as a comp pick if Moss leaves as a FA in 2011.
(2) People who are arguing that "the Pats can get a comp pick if they don't trade him and let him walk in 2011" are, by and large overstating the best-case scenario.
Personally, I'm not happy with the idea of trading Moss, but I'm kinda resigned to the fact that one way or the other, he's not going to be a Patriot in 2011.
Agreed. I certainly hope this whole trade issue falls apart and Randy stays with the Patriots this season. He has so many things he brings to the table that I simply cannot see how losing him makes the team better. BB consistently says that the only time he will make a trade or release a player to sign someone else is if it makes the team better, and I just cannot see how that happens in this situation.
There simply aren't enough WR's of Moss' caliber out there.
We'll see.
A better question is what he does to the Jets. Right now that game is a toss up. Add Moss and it gets interesting.

Let's not forget the crucial info here: Moss asked for the trade.
On the flip side, BB hates Childress. I mean, absolutely hates him. Probably more than he hates Ratgini.
Got it, I think. A trade now for something lower than a 5th would give the Pats more than they would have gotten by letting him walk.

and he and Grandfather Favre aren't going to have time to put anything together in less than a week other than, "You run as fast as you can and I'll throw it as far as I can."
True...but I still don't know how it make sense to trade Moss this year...so he walks next year...so what? But we are 3-1 with a great shot at doing good things in the playoffs this year.
Belichick must be really confident in relying on the dink and dunk approach and strong defenses this year.
Unless this year is a scratch for him...but again...we are 3-1...just doesnt make much sense for me...
Agree with this. If we keep Moss and let him sign a UFA deal, we would get a (best case) 3rd rounder in the 2012 draft. If he doesn't perform with his new team, or if he signs for moderate money, the pick could easily be lower. Compensatory picks come at the end of the round.
So, a 2011 3rd rounder from Minnesota is clearly not the same thing. It is unambiguously better. And it's tradeable.
I didnt think it was that funny...
Yeah definitely seems like Belichick has quit this year.
Yeah, it was so interesting in Week 2. I don't think he'd make a bit of difference. He couldn't do anything against them with Brady and he and Grandfather Favre aren't going to have time to put anything together in less than a week other than, "You run as fast as you can and I'll throw it as far as I can."
Source: Randy Moss trade moving toward happening in the next day
Moss backThe Patriots talks with the Vikings are heating up, and it all centers on Randy Moss. The electric receiver may have a new home sooner rather than later.
One source with intimate knowledge of the situation just told me that not only is the belief that the Moss-to-Vikings trade will happen… but it will also likely happen in the next day.
That means that this person believes Moss will become a Vikings receiver by the end of Wednesday. Nothing is certain, of course, but things are moving quickly.
Now, there have been no contract talks between Moss and the Vikings, and it’s not clear what compensation the Patriots would receive. It is also not 100 clear positive that a renegotiated contract will come immediately with the trade.
Meanwhile, Moss waits. He has not seen or spoken with coach Bill Belichick today, and I’m told their relationship is still strong. But it may be close to ending as coach and player. Stay tuned…
