Rumor: Mike Goodson Traded To The Raiders?

Not cool! Looking at his overall career as Panther, he was neither unproductive or overrated. In fact, he was probably marginally productive because he was undervalued (or, at the very least, logically sitting behind Williams and Stewart). His only real negative---which is his biggest question mark---is fumbling. He had a bad stint which seemed magnified because they came in a relatively short period, but they were hopefully out of character.

Why can't you just wish him the best? Your bid at cleverness doesn't quite hit the mark.

I was referring to the players in raiders past (fast, unproductive, and overrated) and to what Goodson will probably become with them (fast and unproductive). There is no evidence in his tenure with us that he will be anything but that. And he really didn't show that he will be unproductive in the future either. But rather, and get this, it's just my guess!

He's coming to a better situation here. Kalil and Gross can help mentor and push him. Protecting Cam and blocking for Double Trouble has to be exciting for the kid. This guy should be our project this year. The one we try to get to put it all together in a hurry just like we did with Cam.

We wouldn't have traded for Campbell if we didn't think we could get something out of him. Otherwise we would have just taken the 6th rounder and bid Goodson ado.

What does this say about Otah?

Otah poos all over Bruce. If Otah can get on the field....there isn't anyone we could bring in better. But who knows if he can stay on the field or even get on it for a game.

Campbell was likely a lineman the Panthers had their eye on in the draft, they just didn't draft him in time.

remember the Panthers FO is one of the best in the league at scouting O-linemen.

If they think they can fix him, I trust them.

Must be something. I'm sure he will be gone if he doesn't change, and you never know it might just be the Raiders...

Not sure I could get excited about playing for the Raiders. Could be he just needs people around him to show him how to be a pro. As for expectations, I have the same for him as I had for Goodson...zero.

I remember several mock drafts had the Raiders taking Bruce Campbell in the top 10 a couple years ago.. he is a huge guy and very athletic. Otah insurance for sure. And could compete at OG if Otah is healthy again.

    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
    • What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
