First three seasons of Asomogha's career, he had zero interceptions. He was considered a below average starter at best.

Amazing what becoming second team All-Pro and Pro Bowler will do in year 4.

Ascending player > descending one.

Though it took a few years for Asomugha to recognize his potential, Hali will never sniff his level.

Not saying it will. It could, but I don't think it will.

The point is that Asomughas had two seasons he couldn't even get on the field, a subpar season as a starter, then a phenominal season followed by two good seasons.

The glow of that one good season will start to dim if he doesn't build on that year.

He was first team All-Pro in '08.

He built on the '06 season.

Reputation more than production.

Whats the deal did he steal your girl friend or something? After reading your posts I find your username ironic. I have heard sports writers, coaches, players, and GMs state he is the best in the game at his position. Dang if you want to run smack on Oakland there is a shit load of material you can use. Calling out the best CB in the NFL is making you appear as an idiot IMO

Don't know if you realize this, but a lot of experts say a lot of things. Oakland games haven't exactly been drawing large crowds the last few years. Once Asomugha had his one great year, he earned a reputation. The reality is that the national guys don't see him enough for him to tarnish it.

I am not calling him out. I think he is one of the best corners in the league. The only thing that I am saying is that I have no trouble throwing the ball to his side of the field, because over the last two years, even when he gets his hand on the ball (20 times) he intercepts it 10% of the time. (2 Ints)

I am not just trashing the Raiders. I was impressed with the game last night. I think it will be a good game this week. I am just not concerned about the Chiefs throwing away from Asomugha.....that's all.
