OK, so I saw a little speculation about Raiders' D. Moore


top dawg

there have been plenty of guys who were reported as exhibiting this sort of behavior, switched teams, and suddenly were the most dedicated, energy-infusing, locker-room-strengthening guys anyone had seen. sometimes a change of scenery can do worlds of good for a guy.

problem is that for every one of those guys who are completely different there are 10 times as many who don't act differently and stay the same. She. You are paid millions to play for 7 months a year it doesn't matter who you play for. You should be plenty motivated.

because he can actually produce when on the field(51 catches 7 TDs), fits this offense, and has the potential to run every route on the tree.

We had tight ends with more catches. Why will he be great here and not there? Because it is Oakland? Sorry but when you are paid millions you should play hard for anyone.

Are you really offering a highlight reel from his rookie year as proof that he is not having motivational issues in preseason going into his 3rd year.  I never heard anyone say he doesn't have potential, they said he is inconsistent and at times unmotivated.  Completely different things.

 

I know what you're getting at, but the Raiders just suck.  You can talk about being a pro and all that jazz, but I would think that it would be a little difficult on anyone to maximize their talent if they don't have the proper level of talent around them.  I have to take everything that comes out of Oakland with a grain of salt.  Moore's production actually went up last season by more than 100 yards and a couple of more TDs.  Moose actually referred to Chicago as the place where receivers go to die. Now, I would suggest to you that Oakland is the place where talent will never get a chance to live.  Frankly, I wouldn't wish the Raiders on anyone, least of all a young talented WR that has to put up with the likes of Matt Flynn.

Moore would be an ideal receiver to stretch the field and allow Smitty to work the slot. Lets be real, Armanti will not give us half the production Moore will at the same cost.

Not to mention Moore gives us another viable WR under contract next season allowing us to possibly double up on OL in the draft.

    • I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.
    • Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...
    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
