Hall of Famer

With two weeks until free agency I'm going to sit back and watch this play out. I think everyone is on the same page about what needs to happen here...

It's not entirely beyond the pale. I mean no one thought we could get a 1st for Amari Cooper, but somehow we did. A team desperate enough would...

You say that like agents and players have the advantage when it comes to contract negotiations and can just ask for whatever they want and the team...

They do get really, really quiet when teams do it, don't they? Dude was let go 4 days before the contract was even a year old. And it looks like the...

Faith can only get you so far. Even the most devout Hebrew had to wait 400 years before Moses showed up to free them from Egypt. If it was just up to...

Actually, it was Watt that said that he wanted to sign with a contender. They were just parroting him. Guess we now know the truth. He wanted out of...

Not quite. Gruden thought that he could easily replace Mack. If he thought that he could do that with Carr, he would have already traded him. Not...

Seattle would want much more than that. And they'd get it. Maybe not from the Raiders, but from lots of QB hungry teams out there with lots of assets...

Honestly, I see Carr giving Mayock and Gruden this season to turn the defense around. He won't sign an extension. Won't ask for it. His agent might...

You make a good point. Far too many Raider fans want to throw Carr out with the bath water, despite the fact that the man has shown nothing but...

Trust me when I say that I'm doing the world a favor by not drinking. I come from a long line of hyper-violent drunks. We jokingly call it "Black...

For now Carr's contract alone doesn't prevent the Raiders from building a solid defense, or generally building around him. Yet. I don't see the...

This only works if Dungy had taken Mora's old team to the Super Bowl the very first year that he took over from Mora. I'm going to need a few drinks...

That's the hidden irony of it all. Gruden wanted personnel input badly. So Al Davis gave him his first big decision. Told him he had an offer of two...

Carr on Indy would make that a very, very dangerous team. But it looks like it's Wentz's spot now.

Agree with you there. I didn't expect at this point of Gruden's second campaign that we'd be looking at some of the same problems that we had before...

Considering how much Gruden complained about not having any real power when it came to personnel decisions and the draft, I think it's a stretch to...

Mayock? Gruden??

Right, but since signing that extension in 2017, what does the Raiders' playoff appearance ledger look like? And I wasn't comparing Watson and...

There's always one. Sigh.

RIP. Assuming no foul play, it could be any number of things. Let's not be too quick to blame CTE. NFL players are always talking about how...

Never thought we had a legitimate shot at Watson. But it's good to know that the 3 first rounders that I proposed in the other thread now seem like...

It wouldn't surprise me if Short hangs them up. Word is he has a chronic shoulder injury. I can't see the Raiders taking a flyer on him, but you...

Let's hope that he's healthy enough to send Harris packing.

Everyone keeps saying last year was Abrams first full year, so we have to at least see what he's learned. But he obviously needs to see a depth chart...

It's those times when the Gruden offense goes from "smoke and mirrors" to "choke and jeers" that I will remember fondly.

Well said. Although I do have to admit that when Gruden finally leaves the job for good, I'm going to miss watching the Raider offense attempt...

So you're not buying the speculation that Joyner will be released?

We have all watched Carr firsthand. When they played in Oakland I was just a quick BART ride away, whether coming from home or work. So I attended...

I honestly don't think Carr would feel threatened by a rookie. Whomever they draft has to come in and learn Jon's playbook and arcane playcalling...
