Return To The RAIDER-FORUM
For me I always wanted to Stabler but it was a bit before my time and he was my avatar for a while but when I stopped and really thought about it given when I became a fan it was easy: Marcus Allen
1982-85 was awesome to see (admittedly tough living in Western NY to watch games) but fortunately they were on quite a bit even on the East Coast.
1985 and 1986 seasons were heartbreaking for different reasons.
Everyone remembers the Divisional game vs the Bengals where Bo got hurt (I was a Bo fan too) but forgot just how well Marcus played that game. While the TD to Swervin' Mervin was cool. The running of Bo and Allen was great that game as I recall. But the runs that Marcus was ripping off were just awesome.
I recently found the game is on YouTube. Going to have to rewatch it.
I had a few favorites during their times: Tatum/Snake, Marcus, Bo, Jett (yes James Jett!) Tim Brown, Woodson, Nnamdi. Cliff Branch might be #2 on my list, but Lester Hayes will always be my all time favorite.
2- Freddy B
3- Tim Brown
4- Jack Tatum
5- Howie Long
Bo Jackson would have been my favorite if he played Football all season and had a longer career....
That I have seen Tim Brown he deserved so much better imiage if he had Raider Rich Gannon his whole Carrer.
Darren Waller is my current Favorite cause he is the classic Raider second chance succes story and he is awesome too.
Bo Jackson
Charles Woodson
Worst
Jeff Schrader
Charles Woodson - was super excited when he got drafted and then to see his hof career playout....one of my favorites by far
Bo Jackson - when he was on the field the Raiders had the best athlete in the world and he didn't disappoint. Was must see tv. That Seattle game on Monday night was the talk of the sports world.
Worst - by far Jamarcus Russell....I remember arguing with a sports talk radio host in Sacramento that they should draft Calvin Johnson over J. Russell....it sucks the one time this franchise got the #1 pick and it was wasted on that fat lazy excuse for a QB.
I would say Stabler but I never got to see him play so I don’t think it’s right for me to pick him

Loved Lester, eons ago when I played in HS (like probably a lot of us) I played DB and wanted to play just like Lester. I loved his menacing of Charlie Brown and Monk in SB XVIII. Him and Haynes are arguably why we won.Devilspawn wrote Sun Feb 21, 2021 7:39 pm:Lester Hayes.
