DeAngelo for Darrelle?

Recommended Posts

I'm one of, if not the BIGGEST DeAngelo homer on this site... Having said that see exhibits below:

Exhibit A- we already have two solid backs and lack corners

Exhibit B- The Jets lack a Big name solid back, and are trying to trade their star corner

Which leads me to

Exhibit C- This could be a shocker come draft day or perhaps before. The contracts would cancel each other out basically and with Darrelle's injury I'd be willing to say that it's an even trade.

Crazy yes... Possible yes and no... Does it make sense? Absolutely it does, and it takes Revis from a Divisional foe in the process.

Simple answer, no.

Reason why, we can't afford his contract even if we were able to make the trade for him and it would take a first, a third, and Williams to land Revis. On top of that, we have too many needs to throw away draft picks on him. If you want a good corner, look no further than Xavier Rhodes.

Would I want Revis, yes; if he wasn't such an asshole.

No. We don't have the cap space and I don't want the constant contract headaches that Revis brings. Seems like the guy holds out or threatens to hold out every year. Plus, they're wanting a 1st round pick and then some for him, not a RB pushing 30 with an albatross of a contract. It's a bad deal for both sides.

It's been mentioned before.. but trading Deangelo actually cost money. Don't remember the specifics but because of signing bonus and stuff like that.

Pretty sure that trading Darrelle would cost the Jets $ as well.

This possibility makes a lot of sense to me. On the flip side I could play Devil's advocate and say its a horrible idea. I'd just like to generate the discussion. It likely won't happen, but of all the trade propositions that have been mentioned in the media I haven't heard this one. (Not surprising because it involves a Panther) but at any rate, this is an obvious one for one swap.

Whoever stated that we'd have to give up more than just DeAngelo that's just crazy talk.

As for the cap situation... Give Revis DeAngelo's money. We get rid of "dead weight" as many fans put it here. We fill an actual need simultaneously. I'm just throwing it out there.

Maybe if somebody else other than me brought this up it would be received differently? Either way, it's out of the bag, and until Thursday I don't see any reason why we can't all have a healthy and respectful debate about it.

The Bucs reportedly want to trade a first, a third, and a fifth for Revis, and the Jets are supposedly trying to get more out of them.

But yeah, they'd probably rather have an old, injury prone RB for Revis straight up.

Its funny how the media always gets these Blockbuster trades wrong and the details wrong. DeAngelo isn't injury prone either, so lets keep up with the times and have valid points if we're gonna disagree.

I'm gonna laugh when he goes to Cincinnati for a 3rd rndr and conditional picks at the last second. There's always a team not in the reported mix that swoops right in for way less.

Personally if MUCH rather keep DeAngelo than get Revis. I do think its worth noting and bringing up the possibility which exists.

Crazy yes (should've stopped)... Possible yes and no... Does it make sense? Absolutely it does, and it takes Revis from a Divisional foe in the process.

This possibility makes a lot of sense to me. On the flip side I could play Devil's advocate and say its a horrible idea (still should've stopped). I'd just like to generate the discussion. It likely won't happen, but of all the trade propositions that have been mentioned in the media I haven't heard this one (I wonder why). (Not surprising because it involves a Panther) but at any rate, this is an obvious one for one swap. (Lulz)

Whoever stated that we'd have to give up more than just DeAngelo that's just crazy talk (DWill for Revis, straight up, is not crazy talk? Lulz again).

As for the cap situation... Give Revis DeAngelo's money. We get rid of "dead weight" as many fans put it here. We fill an actual need simultaneously. I'm just throwing it out there. (Shouldn't have)

Maybe if somebody else other than me brought this up (I'm sure they did, and we laughed at too) it would be received differently? Either way, it's out of the bag, and until Thursday I don't see any reason why we can't all have a healthy and respectful debate about it. (Insane OP's typically don't get respect for obvious reasons)

I'm gonna laugh when he goes to Cincinnati for a 3rd rndr (After the Bucs offer? Oh yeah, the media and people who may know something got that news wrong. But Dwill for Revis makes sense...) and conditional picks at the last second. There's always a team not in the reported mix that swoops right in for way less.

Personally if MUCH rather keep DeAngelo than get Revis (Hurney?). I do think its worth noting and bringing up the possibility which exists.

A lot more I could've done I'm sure, but you can't turn chicken poo into chicken salad.

You should have just said this:

"I don't really have anything to add to this conversation, so I'll just poke fun at TCF for the lolz and then add a really played out one liner at the end, worth at least 5 Internet brownie points"

When anybody wants to have a legitimate discussion about it PM me. I'm beyond tired of the immature back and forths on this site. Just want to talk about football and possible moves.

    • 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.
