Bruce Campbell A Panther...

[fieryprophet]

Wow, he is extremely raw. Pad levels stay way too high, and most of his good blocks are a product of him using his physicality to outmuscle much smaller defenders than are typical in the NFL. I hope his technique has improved, because from what I can see it is very limited. Hopefully he responds to coaching (the Raiders coaching staff has seen so much turmoil over the years its hard to judge how much they can actually improve a player.)

The body is there for a dominating freak, but he needs some serious polish before I'd trust him with Cam's blind side.

Now, all that being said, the sheer fact we could pick up some OL depth out of Goodson makes this a great trade.

average = solid is all i was saying

Everette Brown Vs. Bruce Campbell would be epic to watch.

Matsko: Get 'em soldier

Campbell: MLEEEEEUUURGGGHHHHHHHHAAAARGHHHHH

meh. goodson was going to be cut anyway. might as well pick up a physical freak to see if we can do anything with him. if not, not a big deal.

I don't think it really matters "who got the better end of the trade", or which player is better at their positions. Goodson barely suited up for us last year and was most likely getting cut. We got a young OL that could at least turn into solid depth. We got something for nothing, same thing (to a lesser extent) as what the Bengals got out of the Raiders last year. Great trade for us. Even if the guy ends up getting cut too, at least we made a move to try to address an area of need. We would have traded one guy we were gonna cut for another guy we're gonna cut. If he does pan out, it's one less thing we need to worry about in the draft.

raiders were ready to move on as well, the fact that these players were expendible is completely irrelevent to whether it was a good trade or not.

but of course no use telling you that you think it's a good trade even if campbell ends up getting cut LOL

hows that "getting something for nothing" work out if we end up cutting campbell? what exactly do we get then? and if goodson ends up being a solid #2 back for them and we lost stewart next year, still gave up nothing? LOL

I'm willing to give the guy a chance. Raiders have awful coaching and this guy needs it, so there was probably the worse place for him to land in the league.

The Panthers see his potential and think they can get the best out of him. If he makes the final roster, I think that will be a good sign.

There is basically no risk but has potential to have huge rewards.

If Campbell ends up getting cut then at least it was an attempt to improve. We still gave up nothing to get nothing. Nothing wrong with that. Goodson could end up being their #1 and it still doesn't affect our end of the bargain, because no one could have known that would happen and there's no way we could have gotten more for him anyway. I don't think anyone disagrees that Goodson was most likely getting cut, and in light of that we gave up nothing and potentially got something for it.

I am assuming if the Panthers were willing to bring in Cambell, they knew about his lack of mental talents and have a plan in place to deal with it.

I like this trade and hope we can take the physical talents of John Coffey urr umm Cambell and make him into something special.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

so if we attempt to improve... but fail... it's still a good move, cause yah know hey at least we gave it a try! LOL love the high standards around here

[PhillyB]

Chances are Campbell will see the field, and chances are Goodson never would, so we had nothing to lose and everything to gain by pulling the trigger. wtg hurney
