Perhaps Gruden looked at more than just last year? I couldn't really care less either way but the hate towards the guy seems irrational to me. Especially based off of last year. Literally everyone on offense took steps backwards last year. Every WR had issues with drops. Every WR had issues with route running or being on the same page as Carr.Ismail86 wrote Sat Mar 17, 2018 3:43 am:This is one of my biggest fears. I’d personally like to draft 2 this year. A red zone threat and a small shifty fella.
My question is, with Gruden not being allowed to talk to the players yet, all he can do is watch tape. When watching Roberts last season, aside from his effort and run blocking, what can you possibly watch that says “hey, we have to keep this guy!”?

I never felt all warm and fuzzy about Roberts when we were having our good season. I felt he did some good that caused many to forget about the huge warts in his game. So I disliked him even when that was a no no and got you a death sentence.Spirit in Black » Sat Mar 17, 2018 5:13 am
Everyone took a step back but at least at times Cooper and Crabs had some great games and made some big plays. Having Roberts on the field was actually detrimental to the team with his dumb play...MH_Raiders wrote Fri Mar 16, 2018 11:32 pm:God, I have never loathed a Raider player, current or former, more than Roberts. This basically means more drops, unnecessary block in the backs, holds, wrong routes, and just plain stupidity.

Edger Bennett thinks he can coach Seth up. I hope he can.kinz » Sat Mar 17, 2018 6:17 am
Most hated player ... an UDFA that made practice squad, next year made the team, and in 3 years has turned in about 400-500 receiving yards a year and 11 TDs. Played through 2 hernias in for I think all of 2016. I don't recall him missing a game. Caught 66% of his targets this year. Never in trouble. Great blocker. Could be faster, too many penalties, a bad fumble this year.Gmac » Sat Mar 17, 2018 6:21 am
Contract aside...kinz » Sat Mar 17, 2018 6:32 am
I agree with you. However, it really comes down to the following. Spending Bowman;s money in FA, using a second for a guy to push Seth down the depth chart this year, or using a 3rd/4th for one to push him down next year, or a 6th for a replacement down the road. Of course, can get lucky and hit with a 6th right away, can also use a 2nd and have the guy not beat out seth.Gmac wrote Sat Mar 17, 2018 6:21 am:Contract aside...
I hate Seth as our #3. I love Seth as our #4. Big difference to me, and I don't mind him on the team as he seems to be a hard worker and a good guy. But we could certainly use an upgrade as our #3, which is basically a starter in today's NFL.

Wow....I sure don't understand this one either. Hell, we can find a 4th - 6th rounder to play better than this clown!Commit2Excel » Sat Mar 17, 2018 7:05 am
Apparently he is one of Reggie's guys. Well, we have one more year to watch him flounder and take up a valuable roster spot. He needs to get his act together or I am sure he will be benched during the season and/or gone after the season.RunOverByHubbard » Sat Mar 17, 2018 7:07 am
Finally some news you can sink your sharpened anti-Reggie teeth into. Go for it. You clearly are a better judge of football players than the Raiders staff.FlyBono24 wrote Sat Mar 17, 2018 1:09 am:What a useless piece of shit... Reggie re-signing this garbage was the worst decision in a long line of bad decisions for him.

Apparently we couldn't find anyone in FA to play better than Seth. I think we will use a 6th on a WR (maybe a 2nd too). Lets see if that 6th takes snaps from Seth. The second will, doubt the 6th will.Coach dd 11 wrote Sat Mar 17, 2018 7:05 am:Wow....I sure don't understand this one either. Hell, we can find a 4th - 6th rounder to play better than this clown!

or maybe he's just bad at being a receiver and people want him gone?kinz wrote Sat Mar 17, 2018 6:17 am:Ro, Jamarcus, Jihad, Amerson, why should Seth be most hated raider ever?
Weird to me. Genuine witch hunt.

Seth lives in the slot - where both Cooper and Jordy have excelled. I think we are a better team with our WR3 being a guy who lives on the outside. And Seth doesn't play ST at all, so if he's not WR3 then he has no value to the team at all - I think that keeping him is a real mistake unless they can turn him into an outside WR.
