AP just destroyed Carlson's chances of getting into the pro bowl after he had him attempting 55+ yard FGs against the Chiefs. Carlson is now at 82% on FGs this season. Terrible. AP is such a ridiculously bad HC. It's crazy. I can't even watch us play for more than a minute because I just become so thoroughly disgusted with our team. Only players capable of rising above his terrible coaching are Crosby and Bowers. They're too good to look bad even in failing schemes while surrounded by mediocrity everywhere. I haven't watched more than 10 minutes of play since week 4 because I knew how bad it was going to be. This season and last season have been the worst seasons I've dealt with since Gruden's first year. Being a Raiders fan really sucks sometimes.

Reminds me of the Moneyball movie scene where the Oakland A's scouting team is talking about how one of the prospects has an ugly girlfriend so he must have no confidence. Lol. These are the things we need to think about when drafting a QB. Can't have the QB with the ugliest girlfriend/wife you know. But if he's real, real ugly and he has a super-hot girlfriend/wife, you draft that man first overall. Lol...

I would take him pretty early up. Not top 5, but definitely top 10.

This is it. Most of us are on the same page that this year's QB class is one of the weakest in recent memory. We really are better off just adding more pieces to the puzzle and taking a legit franchise QB later on. We should probably trade back in the first this draft for draft capital next year and just keep stacking our picks until we find a franchise QB worth taking. I want Jeanty. I'm going to keep saying that until he ends up being a really good RB for the Cowboys. Then I'll watch him rush for 1,200 yards a season for 5-8 years and wish we picked him instead. I don't care if he's a smaller RB, or if RBs are undervalued. His body control, vision, and balance are legit.

Panthers are the example of why you should never trade up for a QB if your scouting staff is buns. I trust Telesco is going to make the right pick for us this year, even if we don't like it initially (cough, cough, Brock Bowers, cough, cough).

Is Khalil Mack good enough to make the HOF? I don't think so but he does have 106 sacks at 33. He would probably have to play at a very high level for another 2-3 years to make it. Which I don't think he will. Just wondering what people think. I think Bowers is an amazing pick as well. But I'm not the type of person to crown a player as the best player the Raiders have had in the past 20 years after 2/3rds of his rookie season. I'll wait to crown him after his rookie contract. Since that's typically how long we keep our best players before they go somewhere else to try and win some games.

I wanted to post the gif of the little toddler crying while eating a burger but I'm at work and the computers here don't want me to enjoy my Monday morning on this forum.

I would be glad if we got Vrabel. At least he has a winning record. At least he's been a HC recently. I think he would be a great pick.

Someone was tooting Carson Beck's horn recently. I saw his stats on ESPN. They're below. completions, attempts, completion percentage, yards, average, TDs, INTs, long, rating. VS AP 118 195 60.5 1,425 7.3 7 7 67 126.6 NonConf 89 132 67.4 1,114 8.4 16 0 50 178.3 Away 85 146 58.2 960 6.6 3 7 67 110.6 I just wanted to share it. I still don't think Carson Beck is the best QB in the draft. That's just me though.

Getting that DC4 type of coaching.

Lol. Made it personal here.

Watched the game. He played really well against Tennessee. Props to him on playing better.

I really don’t fall college ball but I did see his game against Texas and he looked terrible. I’ll take a look at the Tennessee game. I’m sure there’s footage on YouTube.

Who is the raw QB with fixable traits and a high ceiling? What are the traits that can be fixed?

It’s just not the best year to be picking a QB. I agree with that.
