Cut Driver for Moss?· Page 3

Agreed.

I was one of those who chastised Thompson for letting New England get Moss. But that was then, and this is now.

The Packers do not need another WR, much less another 30-plus WR. I don't agree with Rock re: getting rid of Driver, not until someone beats him out. But the notion of "upgrading" by adding Moss is, now, well, just silly.

Not to mention, from what we have seen of Randall Cobb, the kid is explosive, can catch, and can get some YAC.

The only way I'd like to see Driver in a Packers uniform is if he is willing to take a significant cut in pay, as well as playing time. He is a beneficial player in terms of locker room presence and if he stuck it out for another year and helped develop these players (almost being a coach), that would be great.

Now as for the article, dumb. 👎

Can we just have one player that stays in GB his whole career?

If Donald Driver wants the distinction of having spent his entire career with the Packers, he can retire. Problem solved.

In my opinion the only thing Driver does anymore is holds back the younger guys' snap counts. Pittsburgh is dealing with the exact same thing with Hines Ward. They are both warriors for their teams, but there comes a time when the team is forced to make a decision when the guy won't accept the fact that he needs to retire. I say we move on because we have more talent in Jones and Cobb playing behind Driver right now. Bow out and retire Driver and don't force the Packers into an ugly situation. It really boils down to selfishness if you allow yourself to put down the green and gold loyalty glasses.

“If the Packers don’t want me, I’ve got to go somewhere else and play. I don’t have a choice,” Driver said. “I’m not ready to hang the cleats up.”

Couldn't stand Favre in a Vikings uniform, but.......

You'd look mighty fine in purple, Donald.👍

Chris Carter on Moss, "Randy, not like any other superstar I've met, he has more quit in him than any of those other players."

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
