Isportsweb: Raiders need to trade Moore


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Guess who was mentioned as the example for a trade partner? Easy answer, huh? Well just because an answer is easy doesn't mean it's wrong. Like Joe Horning suggested, it makes "perfect" sense.

 

Given his production and speed, he would make a nice trade target for a receiver needy team. Someone like the Carolina Panthers, who have nothing but a raw rookie, aging slot receivers, and untested practice squad to throw to, Moore is a perfect option.

A 6th could be a pittance to pay for this Guy. I would love to get him before the Browns or the Falcons. Proehl would probably help Denarius Moore play with consistency and unleash his potential.

It just makes too much sense I guess.


BTW, creating a thread with a phone for the first time is...interesting.

We'd only have him for this year, and frankly it wouldn't be worth it to pay his salary. He's not a missing piece to the puzzle, and it's very possible he wouldn't even be a starter for us. Moore is an okay receiver but he dropped the ball as much or more than LaFell, which everyone here hated. Not worth a draft pick, even a 7th in my opinion. He had opportunities to put up huge stats in garbage time because Oakland was down so much in so many games, yet he couldn't even do that...

You have a point, but Moore had at least two coaches, OCs, and probably at least four or five fair to crappy QBs since he has been in the league. Yes, he has had problems with consistency and focus at times, but unlike LaFell, Moore has shown legitimate flashes and play making ability. Moreover, we do need a speed receiver because Underwood is apparently underwhelming so far and has never really been a play maker.

I bet if Moore hits the market, some team is going to jump at the chance to get him, especially with Moore having great potential at a bargain price.

Didn't our last trade with them result in a certain sixth round draft pick in 2010 that we used to get a sea monster?

No, it resulted in the shipping off of an unfocused RB (Goodson) for a hulking LT (Campbell) who never saw the field.

Let it be known that MHS gave you your 2000th pie.  (I read your profile info--hats off, sir).

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
