[Couch Potato]

There have been vague rumors of Moore possibly being shopped by the Vikings the last few months, but of course there he still sits behind Peterson and Taylor. Pinner is also on the roster. Moore is in the last year of his contract and they aren't likely to bring him back.

I'll say that during the next week, Mewelde gets a new lease on football life and a chance to compete for playing time in Favreland. Morency hurt. Jackson hurt/concussed. Pope injured/cut. Wynn not cutting it. Herron a former 7th round plodder. Corey flippin' Hall? No. If Moore does go to Cheesetown and gets a legit opportunity he could become a real fantasy sleeper. Career 4.8 YPC and excellent pass catching skills (9.5 YPReception).

I'd be thrilled if this happened given how I believe Moore is a more talented RB than anybody on the Green Bay roster. However, I'm not confident in Thompson's ability to make strong moves to improve the team so I don't think he'll even get in the mix. Moore really is going to waste with the Vikings, though. He's a talented RB who's proven he can make an impact as both a runner and receiver and he has no chance whatsoever with the Vikings as long as Peterson and Taylor are there. Minnesota really needs to trade him.

[Spartans Rule]

significant interdivisional trades rarely happen

The only time you really see intradivisional trades happen is when both sides think they're fleecing the other. The only way I can see that happening here is if Green Bay thinks Moore is a superstar in the making and offers a first day pick for him.

Ted Thompson wouldn't give up a fourth-round pick for Randy Moss or Darrell Jackson, who are both considerably more talented than Moore is. It's safe to say he isn't going to offer anything of that magnitude given how reluctant he is when it comes to making aggressive personnel moves. While I agree trades within the division are rare, a deal here could occur if the Vikings believe it's better to get something of value such as a late-round pick than lose Moore for nothing at all. He's currently running as their No. 4 RB. It seems pretty silly of them to keep him buried on the depth chart and then let him walk just because they're afraid of trading him to the Packers. They might as well take a late-round pick and get something for him and move on. It's not like his departure is going to cripple their RB talent by any means.

You've gotta be kidding. Moore could conceivably be a solid 3rd down back, but there is nothing to indicate that he can be a starting RB for a full season.

He has a proven track record of success as a starter in this league. I don't believe you can count on him for a full season of 20+ touches a game, but check out his production as a starter. The guy has done very well when given the opportunity to be the primary ballcarrier.

I can't see any reason why the fact that Green Bay is in Minnesotas division would have any impact on this decision...

I understand not trading in the division but not in this case!

 

[packersfan]

Here are Moore's games when he's had 15 carries or more:

2006

None

2005

23-101

22-122

21-67

2004

20-92 (he also had 12 receptions for 90 yards in this game)

15-109 (he also had 7 receptions for 78 yards in this game)

20-138 (he also had 5 receptions for 30 yards in this game)

He's also had two games of 14 carries

14-57 (he also had 6 receptions for 63 yards in this game)

14-57 (he also had 5 receptions for 52 yards in this game)

He's had one game with 13 carries

13-45 (he also had 4 receptions for 60 yards in this game)

That's a pretty good track record of production when given the opportunity to be heavily involved.

he's carried the ball 20+ times in 5 games over a 3-year career. i'd hardly call that a proven track record. but yeah, when he's toted the rock, he's done well.too bad that last year he never carried it more than 5 times in a single game. obviously the coaches saw him as little more than a 3rd down back.

additionally, they've now brought in 2 different RBs in front of him (Taylor, AP)

Both Taylor and Peterson are considerably more talented than Moore is so that shouldn't be a surprise. I'm not saying Moore is the next Eric Dickerson. But I do think he's a better RB than Jackson or Morency and he would clearly provide the Packers with an upgrade - one they badly need. You can't trust him to be The Guy for 16 games but I don't think Jackson or Morency are the answer either. If the cost is a late-round pick, it's a no-lose scenario. If he doesn't pan out you've given up nothing to take a look. But again, given how passive Thompson is I doubt he'll even get in the mix if Moore does become available.

Then they are delusional and should find a GM that realizes that getting a pick for a 4th string running back in a year where you are picked to finish dead last is probably a good move, regardless of what team you are trading him to... At some point common sense has to rule out.

fair enough. i've never been a huge moore fan, but in his limited opportunities, he's done well. i just don't trust the guy to ever stay healthy. then again, the same could easily be said for morency or b jackson.i'd hate to see us trade for moore....we don't need another unreliable guy in the backfield.

Hell yeahhhhhh...BTW I'm not worried about the intradivision trading issue. I think both sides know that the gap to be closed is with Chicago, not each other, and whatever they can do to help their own team is a good thing. We're not talking about an elite player who is going to shift the balance of power in the division either, we're talking about a wasting commodity for a late round pick. Anyway, it's just a little prediction that seems to make sense for both sides. And, since I know that all NFL GMs come to the FBG message board for their really good advice, this thread will probably cause the Vikes and Packers to make the deal.

[Bizkiteer]

There have been rumblings about M. Moore being traded, but I doubt he'll go to someone in their own division. He's got talent, but has shown that he can't play with pain. That is a serious warning to all GM's, so someone might take a flyer on him...just don't expect much in way of trade or real expectations.

 

[Traders2001]

Very funny he cant beat out Artose Pinner and now he would be the starter in GB , and of course way more talented then Morency or Jackon.

Gimme a break , Jackons is nt talented thats why they took him in the second round , But great joke you made my morning .

I think Moore has shown that he can get more than 9 yards with 9 carries though. You might have something here.

I think Cincinnati would be a great fit for Moore. Doubt it would happen, but I'd love to see it.

I do believe the best fit would be a team that needs a 3rd down type. The Giants also come to mind. I don't think there would be a shortage of interested teams if he were to become available.

I think you have to look at the big picture of what the coach has said they want to do in GB as far as their running game goes. They want a big bruising type running back that will run North and south, not a pass catching finesse player(they got rid of that RB already)Every move they have made has been a move that needs a power back. their blocking schemes have been totally revamped and Moore probably would not be the right guy for the offense.

Actually I'd love to see them somehow get Ron Dayne into that offense.

1) He is already a state hero

2) He fits the power running game they want to run

3) Running the ball 30 times a game would open the pass for Farve

4) Plus if your running so much Farve cannot throw interceptions.

Dayne should be the guy GB goes after.

He's had some success, but the problem with Moore is that you can't play him a lot, because when he gets nicked he refuses to play with pain. That is well doccumented.

while this makes perfect sence to us, for some reason it won't to one GM, if not bothwhile Moore is not a 20+ carry guy for 16 games, I think he'd be a factor for GB while Jackson gets his stuff together and Morency gets in football shape---Herron as the starter will get Favre killed, IMO

 

[Colin Dowling]

I wouldn't classify this as "significant."

 

[IndyHavoc]

Didn't finish reading the whole thread, so sorry if someone else brought this up. Personally I think that there will be some Steeler cast offs picked up both here and possibly Indy. I've been quite impressed with how hard/tough both Carey Davis and Gary Russel have been running in Pitt. Between Davis, Russell, Barlow, Davenport, and even Haynes has looked OK; I'm pretty sure you're going to either see a trade or teams being patient and picking these guys off the practice squad. My $0.02.

 

[packersfan]

The Packers don't need another mediocre running back. (They already have several)

It's debatable whether any of the RBs they have are even mediocre (though I do think Morency is). That's the problem. Moore may be mediocre but at least he's proven he can produce when given an opportunity. So far Jackson has looked bad; Morency can't get healthy and the rest are nothing more than "guys" to fill out the roster. Maybe if the Packers can somehow pool a few medicore RBs together they might just get a mediocre running game this season.Dare to dream I guess.

You may be missing the central point here - the Packers RBs may not even be good enough to be called a dime a dozen. Other than the Raiders, I don't think there's a worse RB corps in the entire league this season. As I said earlier I don't think Moore is some kind of stud. He is what he is. But what he is - in my opinion - is much better than what the Packers currently have. Green Bay's RB situation is horrible. In my opinion.

 

[Couch Potato]

Is Moore even better than Herron?

No.

BS. You can question Moore's ability to play hurt, and maybe there are other issues with him that Minny coaches haven't liked, but his production while on the field has been very good. To say he's no more dynamic with the ball in his hands than Herron is a joke.

I don't disagree. I thought they had potentially the worst corps WITH Morency/Jackson in the fold. I think it's more likely they pick up someone for free off the scrap heap like Barlow.

I agree Bruce. When he's on the field he is not half bad, and he is certainly better than Herron.

 

[RedZone]

I agree with CP that the Vikings could get more value from Moore by moving him than they will ever utilize having him on the roster, especially now.

I thought, never posted about this since I was too busy salivating over the thought of M Turner being a feature back, that Moore would have filled some gaps left by Pacman at the Titans, especially after their first round pick went with a ?safety?. Moore could have functioned as in a reasonable RBBC with Lendale and served as a KR/PR.

Vikings could certainly benefit from trading Moore and give him an opportunity as a third down or RBBC back.

BARLOW? Let's all agree to stop bringing up every mediocre running back in the NFL and connect them to the Packers, shall we? For better or worse, Thompson is rolling with what he has on his roster. Now, if someone with legit talent hit the wires this weekend, I don't doubt he'd take a look. But Barlow? Or trading for Moore? Please.

Davenport has looked okay during preseason for the Steelers.

Clearly TT wants people TT acquired.

Running game is goin gto stink it up.

Put me down for the "TT doesn't want to help the offense in order to drive Favre into retirement" camp.

Mewelde Moore should be thankful that he has an NFL job, period.

he's not more talented than anyone on the Packers roster.. he definitely would not start and he's not going to unseat Herron as the #3

but other than that

let's not forget that Vikings line was a meat-grinder in the past few seasons. they ground the ball out on people's faces.

putting up 100 yds in the NFL is no small feat but i don't think 2007 Packers O-line is quite the road grader that the Vikings lines have been the past few years.
