Bringing in Aso

Nnamdi Asomugha is the best CB in the NFL, even better than Revis. With Gamble already solid at his position, bringing in this guy now would ultimately make us a top 5 defense next year for the new coach. So what would it take to bring him in? With a good GM and FO, it would take the bank to bring him in. Yet with Al Davis and the Raiders FO, all it may take is flashy names and a 1st and 4th round pick. Here, read this interesting debate on the Raiders forum

http://www.raiderfans.net/forum/oakland-raiders-forum-message-board/173860-jimmy-clausen.html

So here's my proposal.

Panthers get: Nnamdi Asomugha

Raiders get: Jimmy Clausen, Charles Godfrey, next year's 2nd

Godfrey has shown to the league he can be a probowl safety. Since alot of fans feel Clausen hasn't been given much of a shot here in Carolina, Al Davis may think he can give life to this kid's career. So what do you guys think. My eye will be on the Raiders constantly this off-season to see what they do with Aso.

Is the objection that this deal wouldn't be enough for Aso, or is it giving up too much for one player? I know people wouldn't be sad for giving up the players mentioned. Both Godfrey and Clausen have been complained about more than any other two players this season. The only objection I can see coming from fans is giving up a 1st, but Aso is more than worth the pick and the players.

Champ Bailey is a FA while he's not as good or as young, he'd be cheaper and we don't have to trade anybody to get him.

The secondary is pretty good already they've created a lot of coverage sacks the last few years, we don't need a superstar there. Both of our saftey's have CB skills. Gamble and Munnerlynn are solid.

D-line is where the D needs help.

Godfrey isn't really good trade bait. Either way that would bite us in the ass.

1. Trade him for a low pick, he sucks with new team. We don't have proper compensation to get somebody better and we look stupid.

2. Trade him for a low pick, he improves with new team. We look like bigger doofuses.

Might as well keep Godfrey and hope he improves with us when we get some DTs worth a damn.

Having Aso shutting down a side of the field is way better than anything Godfrey can do with his career. We can get another safety to replace him and we would still have Sherrod at that position, a solid guy. Plus, if we can get any value for Clausen, that is always a plus. Champ is getting older, and if I'm going to pay a guy long term, I would want the best I can get out of him. Bailey may be playing at a good level for 2 more years before his talent starts to decline.

You want to give up next year's first? Seriously?

I dunno about you, but I think that Andrew Luck is going to be worth more than Aso... :)

If we get Luck and he turns out to be great, and bring in Aso, then we won't need a first next year. Good management this season will make up for anything we lack next year.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd edited to be more clear where he was ahead of league average, but realize it was easily missed, sorry.  I do hope he falls off a cliff production wise because if he actually continues at this pace it's highly likely the TDs come and then he'll be a real problem. Anyway, to the stats... Shough is substantially better than the average in completion percentage, YPG, and INT% (68% vs 64.4% and 237 vs 215 and 1.7 vs 2.2). He is pretty close to the average in Y/A (7.14 vs 7.1) and rating (91.63 vs 91.8). He is a bit below the average in TDs per game (1.3 vs ~1.5, which is hard to average exactly due to the number of players that are part of this stat), QBR (51.54 vs 54.7) and quite a bit below in TD% (3% vs 4.7%). In advanced stats, he's above the league average in intended air yards/attempt (8.1 v 7.7) and on target % (76.8 vs 74.6), while barely below is in bad throw % (16.1 vs 16.0). This jives with what I've seen - decent young player, playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter, on a bad team. I've always said (and this is true of Bryce too, I even mentioned it this year) that I am less concerned with 30+ yard bombs than consistency at 15+ yards, because you need to be able to threaten past the sticks. Shough is doing that. Vs us in week 15 he had ~one third of his passes 15ish or more yards and he was money on them, and that wasn't really an exception, he has had some nice throws outside of that.  All that said, dude is just super new to the league, and once film gets out, if he does have limitations they will be exploited. No way he can get OROTY. And thanks for the kind words - I am prone to hyperbole at times, but I'm also just impressed by Shough. We'll see if he can keep it up (I hope not, unless the Saints randomly trade him lol)

      To be fair, going from 2 wins, to 5 wins, to 8 wins at least is a pretty big positive no matter how insufferably miserable a select handful in this group want to make everything.

      Yeah Moore is definitely going to be a problem.  I remember he was the favorite for our job at one point in time.
