I'm just thinking out loud about our wide receiver questions but we definitely could use a proven wide receiver. We definitely have some talented young guys on the team and it'll be great to watch them develop, but having another proven target for Tanny would help his development. How about this... We have a ton of QB's. I doubt we go into the season with them all still signed on. My guess is we trade Moore, let Tanny start and have Garrard as a back-up. That puts Moore on the trading block. Green Bay has a seriously pressing issue at the QB position. Behind Rodgers, they have no one. They may have the least QB depth in the league now that Flynn is gone. What happens if Rodgers goes down and they have to school a new QB on their system? Nothing good, I can tell you that much. One thing that Green Bay does have is a glut of receiver and tight ends. We have Philbin which would help in discussions. Why don't we trade Moore to the Packers for one of their receivers or a mid round draft pick? We can use the receiving help/draft pick and they can use the depth at QB. It just seems to make sense.

You can't even trade it. Because you'd be trying to trade a 45 million dollar point guard that can't dribble or pass.

Quietly a good preseason for the Panther defense, particularly Hardy and Brown. Are you, like me, a little surprised? If Moore or Clausen turns out decent, is this a playoff team?

No, I think they're far from a playoff team. Although I think they will play hard and play physical, I don't think they can mount a serious pass rush consistently in 2010. That exposes the back end that is not an elite cover unit, though they're not bad. The whole key for this football team will be to run the ball, eat up the clock, not ask their defense to be on the field the whole time and hope their QBs don't make mistakes. You're not going to see a lot of exciting plays and probably more than any other team in the NFL, this team needs to play mistake free football on both sides to have a chance to win.
