Find a DT and a corner.Two pieces would make a huge difference.AdamJoshua28 » Thu Nov 30, 2023 7:35 am
No one is waving players that can make a difference, one man's trash is still trash.chucker » Thu Nov 30, 2023 8:23 am
You do sometimes get guys who contribute - sometimes long term, and sometimes just short term. But you're not getting real impact players. Cunningham for the Eagles and Reynolds for the Lions are guys who've made it long term in significant roles since being claimed off waivers. Baker Mayfield was claimed off waivers by the Rams and won a Thursday game a couple of days later. Most waiver claims end up being garbage or simply invisible. We'll see how Jack Jones ends up for us. Tillery was certainly a mixed bag from last year.AdamJoshua28 wrote Thu Nov 30, 2023 7:35 am:No one is waving players that can make a difference, one man's trash is still trash.

I get it but i have a long memory and seems the raiders get burned more often than not, guess I'm just gun shy, and some of those guys we pay way too much money to.chucker wrote Thu Nov 30, 2023 8:23 am:You do sometimes get guys who contribute - sometimes long term, and sometimes just short term.

It does happen simply because some player just don't catch on in other systems or have a falling out with coachesAdamJoshua28 wrote Thu Nov 30, 2023 7:35 am:No one is waving players that can make a difference, one man's trash is still trash.

Webb was released by the Panthers and is back on our PS.CWood24 wrote Thu Nov 30, 2023 9:40 am:It does happen simply because some player just don't catch on in other systems or have a falling out with coaches
Jack Jones was apparently released partly because of not being a great fit & some immaturity issue from what’s been reported. He has some potential to be a decent player in the NFL
Sam Webb actually showed some promise with us before the Panthers claimed him off of out PS & again might be decent depth player if not more

You gotta remember, past performance does not ensure future results.AdamJoshua28 wrote Thu Nov 30, 2023 8:32 am:I get it but i have a long memory and seems the raiders get burned more often than not,

Unless its contract time then professional teams pay you for past performance hoping for the same going forward, very rarely does it work out that way.Attyla wrote Thu Nov 30, 2023 11:01 am:You gotta remember, past performance does not ensure future results.

I agree. ESPECIALLY if we can improve the pass rush.CWood24 wrote Thu Nov 30, 2023 2:29 am:I like the combo of Hobbs, Jones, Hall, Bennett, Robertson,Webb as our CB rotation yeah no stars apart from Hobbs as of yet but all pretty good think you can really develop them
CWood24 » Fri Dec 01, 2023 11:39 pm
It was the reason i mentioned him always thought he could be a good rotational piece if we could develop himchucker wrote Thu Nov 30, 2023 9:45 am:Webb was released by the Panthers and is back on our PS.
