That happens and Carr may finally be a Top 10 QB.

Flags, and the league-mandated “10 Mississippies” rule.

3 more weeks until deadline day.

I posted this on roster moves…

Victimized a couple of close friends, Cowboys fans, for some cash on this one. Was positive we were winning.

Winning will shut them up but it won't fill the stadium with Raider fans when half the tickets are being comped by the casinos to whoever rolls in with the cash to blow. Sorry but it must be pointed out - this part isn’t even remotely close to being true. Perhaps it was hyperbole for effect, and if so, my apologies. 40% of PSLs were purchased outside of Nevada. Of the remaining 60% of the PSLs purchased in state, my PSL rep said 80% of them went to individuals (as opposed to companies).


I believe the Raiders are having a hard time attracting new fans, particularly younger fans. Kids like winners and players who they see outside of the football realm. It’s the ‘Mahomes’ of the world that attract new fans that don’t have some intrinsic love for a team, or parents who influence them to like who they like. ‘He’s’ the one they see playing on national tv every week, in commercials, on posters and ads. In school, kids don’t talk and dream about being Derek Carr.

How many times have we seen the old timers on this forum state “I’m just glad I was around for the good old days and the memories I have of them”. It’s a sentiment most older members share - a winning culture and exciting times. The Raiders have shot themselves in the foot with the new generations by putting out decades of sub par football which is completely unattractive to potential young fans. If not coerced by outside forces, they’ll choose to like and root for a winner instead of a perennial loser.

Raiders defenses are ranked by how well they perform against Fat Andy's offense.

Bradley.

Bradley's Raiders defense couldn't slow down Mahomes. But his DE stomped on the Chief's logo, so there's that. I guess.

We don't need a baby like Diggs. Saw one of those pieces where a player asks questions of his teammates and Diggs was the most common answer to which guy would you least want to date your sister.

Further to your point, I would expect we would have won more games in 2022 with Stiddy than we did with Carr in 2022.

I gotta admit, that has me concerned. I don't believe in embarrassing a man in front of his peers. If he's a grown up, he'll be embarrassed enough for himself. There's no need for "Hey everyone look at this idiot!"

For millions of dollars I'd be able to get through it because there's a very bright light at the end of that tunnel.

If I was already set for life, well... I'll give Carr credit for not telling McDaniels to go fuck himself in front of everyone. I know I would've.

But that's also a personality thing. Some people thrive in it. Gannon and Gruden used to battle it out on the sidelines in front of everyone and that worked for them.

I don't think a coach with a different personality would've done any better though. Film study isn’t embarrassing anyone. If it is you’re soft as hell. Every player knows they make mistakes. You point it out on film. Then go try and correct it in practice. Practice doesn’t make you perfect. Perfect practice does.

I’m stoked for this off-season more than I have been in years. Z is a sharp dude

Josh Jacobs not only lead the NFL in total rushing yards, but also in yards after contact with 825 total yards after contact.

Even when you're not carrying them anywhere.

The last 3 years Daniel Carlson has been on :fire:.

He's only missed 8 field goals out of 115 attempts.

Has made 21 out 24 field goals over 50+ yards.

Most 50+ yard field goals ever made in a season in 2022.

Top 3 in points scored by a kicker in 2022(1st team all-pro).

Tied for #1 in points scored by a kicker in 2021.

Tied for #1 in points scored by a kicker in 2020.

Daniel Carlson is arguably the best kicker in the NFL right now and the stats back it up.

Where to go with this one.......

Brady, grab some D for fuck’s sake, and position ourselves to have 1st round move-to-the-top draft capital for ‘24. Presumably if you get Brady you’re picking nowhere near the top of the draft unless something goes horribly wrong.

The only shot at both Brady and a high pick next year is if you can con the fuck out of someone that thinks they’re a QB away - gives you a future 1st for Carr.

Rte66BBQ wrote Tue Jan 10, 2023 9:47 pm:Newsflash. Brady Bucs had a losing season this year.

It doesn't matter. What matters is 25 TDs, 9 Ints, 67% completion percentage, and 4694 yards.

Do people really think there is a chance in Hell Brady to the Raiders actually works? :unamused: I really want a defensive player at 7 man.

Just a guess as always, but with Brady I would expect a top 5 offense with two offensive linemen and Jacobs.

We would have to knock it out of the park in FA and the draft, requiring some starters in the 5th-7th rounds and hitting in rounds 1-4.

We have at least 10 positions to improve to the level that our backup should be better than the current starters.

In other words, probably not next year but I will never bet against Brady in the playoffs. I think we win 10 and make the playoffs next year even missing on high picks and some free agents (Which we will). This is 100% assuming Tom plays at around 20 only, which I have no idea about.

I am with HesterLayes, Brady or a week 10 starter top level rookie gives us the best shot of at least a playoff win next year, but to me a real shot at a title is slim to impossible. The defense did not show a huge improvement from week 1 to week 18 so throwing talent at it only takes us so far and that is not top 10.

Option three for me is a trade of 7 for a '24 first, '23 second, and a quality starter at a position of need locking in a big move up with two firsts next year. If I hate the QBs at the top and Brady says no, I would go with Brisset and Stidham next year and make it right by Adams by allowing a trade, with maybe two first round picks to make up for our deadcap, but without any complaints if he wanted it. There are QBs there.

I pretty much hate every other option at this point. Man, if they love AR though you won't hear me complain. We just need a guy worth four years of solid QB development.

Just lol.

Everybody was making excuses for Stidham after the 9ers game. I saw no reason to do that as good as he played.

Oh, that INT wasn't really an INT (the 49ers just got the ball and it went into the stat sheet as an INT).
Oh, that was Kolten Miller's fault.

He looked terrible and all those "oh it wasn't his faults" from the week prior started look more like "his faults" this weekend. He definitely threw the ball directly to a Chiefs player that dropped the ball and that did not go in the score sheet as an INT.

I still loved some of the stuff that he did particularly with his feet.
But we're a million miles from home at this point. There must be a big move made at QB. It would be criminal to stand pat and bet the farm on Stidham at this point. Just lol

Amusing some of the same folks that had the jury out on Carr after 9 years are mocking the kid after 2 games

just lol indeed

;)

He still doesnt look like a guy that will stay healthy. He was injured this entire year almost. Eventually he just say f-it and start sitting out when hes injured. There has never been any indication that Jabobs said he wanted to sit out when banged up. It's the opposite - sounds like the staff has to force him to sit. After week 8 his lowest number of carries was 15..... he could get truly injured, for sure, but he wants the ball. The kid's got heart.
