nogohawk Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) I was watching WPVI (a Phila. news station) this morning at 5 AM, and in there sports coverage announced talks between the Eagles and Raiders. A possible trade of TO for Jerry Porter. Apparently, Lurie is sticking by his guns and not re-negotiating TO's contract. Point 1 - An unbelievable combination of Moss and TO, but are there enough balls to go around and 2 head cases in the lockerroom. They had a brief clip of Moss' reaction, I think he said there wouldn't be any problem and would like to play with TO (sorry, couldn't hear it all - the dogs were playing). Point 2 - Is Jerry Porter enough compensation for TO? I would love to see them get one of the other Raider WR's like Curry or Gabriel in addition. Sorry, but no link - I'll try to find more later. Let the discussion begin! Edit for spelling (Yukon I'm not) Edited June 30, 2005 by nogohawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizards Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Al Davis, T.O. and Moss...come on who would be in charge??? Believe it when I see it....Collins value would go through the roof.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanruiz13 Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I would love this... since I have Collins in my Dynasty league But I think this hurts both TO's and Moss' values. still don't believe it'll happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 And the first pick of every 2005 fantast football draft will be LaDai.... no, wait.... Kerry Collins. It'll never happen. Would be pretty interesting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I hope not, as juan said it would hurt both TO's and Moss's value. Not to mention the bickering that would go on all season long. And where would Oakland get all this money from? Imagine the competition for contracts these two would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 FWIW, if this did happen, Philly would, once again, suck balls. Which is a good thing. McNabb's numbers would drop significantly, Moss and TO's numbers would probably drop off a little, and Collins' numbers would go through the roof. Not to mention, it might actually improve Jordan's value as well. I mean, you think ANYONE would have the balls to put 8 in the box with Moss and Owens at wideout?

Caveman_Nick Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 That would be crazy. It would be like having Shaq and Kob..... uh, nevermind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I'd love it. TO and Moss could fistfight between offensive series over who Kerry Collins likes better. The scenario is like this-- "Fire! Fire!" "Don't worry! I'll just throw this gasoline on it--should drown that silly fire right out..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scourge Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I don't see how this could possibly happen. I would not complain though. I think Porter could do well in Philly. Anyone have a link to back this rumor's validity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Scorp Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) I think there was some speculation last year about MN going after TO so that the Vikings would have C-Pep throwing to TO and Moss! I can't see Oakland being able to pay both enough to keep them happy. Edited June 30, 2005 by T-Scorp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I have Collins in our Dynasty league. I would love this for that reason and as a Cowboys fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Men In Tights Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I think there would be enough passes to go around for Moss and TO. Let's assume Oakland throws the ball 35-times a game and then have both Moss and TO. I will assume that 34 passes goes to those two clowns. This means each gets 17-passes thrown their way. I am thinking of it like the numbers McCardell and Smith put up in J-Ville. I also would love to see the tag team of TO and Moss taking their turns after each series railing on Collins for overthrowing them again and again. Porter is not nearly enough for TO, throw in Curry and that is a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I thought the Viqueens already tried this all offense/no defense thing. The Chiefs and Colts tried it too. It doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you and I have a spelling bee to determine who's smarter. BTW I wasn't implying that their defense got them to the SB, only that it helped them win it.

Sure, the Rams were good fashion for a period of time, but they actually put a good D on the field in 1999. They were 4th best in the league in terms of points scored. Also, they only gave up 4 TD's on the ground that year. Not a bad D. They had a pretty decent D in 01 as well. Oakland was second to last in points scored against last year. They would be best served to shore that side up IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muck Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 ...ring...ring... Hello? How are you getting along these days? Oh, hi, Mr. Peterson. I'm doing pretty good. The foot is coming along nicely. I'll be ready for camp. Hey, did you see that Oakland may be trading Jerry Porter for Terrell Owens? <gasp> Uhhh...no. Hadn't seen that. <pause> So, what does your schedule look like next week? We'd like to have you in town. Well, I'm playing x-box on Monday and Tuesday; a couple of guys are coming over for some cards on Wednesday. I guess I could come over on Thursday. Great. We'll pick you up at the airport like last time. We look forward to seeing you again next week, Ty. Sure 'nuff, Mr. Peterson. Bye. Bye.

And for the record, I think it was more of the Titans offense not showing up as opposed to the Rams defense playing well. Here's the boxscore: http://www.superbowl.com/history/boxscores/game/sbxxxiv Rams had 29 yards rushing and 407 yards passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keys Myaths Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 By the way, I'm in class, so I have time on my hands... Neither WPVI.com, or a Google news search turned up anything...maybe it was just the sportscasters' stream of consciousness, rather than an actual trade proposal.

Clubfoothead Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 In that case, I'd take Burleson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
