I don't know how they do their team rating system, but I think it's lame. Regarding the Raiders: I think the discrepancy between the Raiders and the Chargers is what doesn't seem right to me. The Raiders beat the Chargers twice last year, beat the Chiefs twice last year, and beat the Broncos twice last year. If anything, put the Chargers down some. They have been overrated for a while now. Aso leaving the Raiders does hurt the secondary obviously, as losing the best player at any position will do. Whoever was talking about how great Routt is has obviously not watched any Raiders games recently (within the past oh 4 years or so). As someone who watches EVERY Raider game each year, Routt is a BIG liability in man coverage. If Aso is gone, the Raiders will need to make a move for someone else in the secondary.

I gotta disagree with you about Routt... I watch every game and he played great...Sure he got burned sometimes, but considering what the Raiders ask their corners to do he did his job... Not every cb on the raiders can be Nnamdi..

He had the 3rd lowest completion % against him last season among corners at 39.4%...which was tied with Nnamdi...Teams never threw at Nnamdi so they often challenged Routt and he more than held his own imo...

Routt needs to have at least a 90 in man coverage
