Pete freaking Carroll is at 8. 10 isn't that far off course for someone who you (Mark Davis) really wants. So, I'd say get over that. And Gruden isn't making 10 million a year anyway. There is a lot of language in that contract and breaks down more complex that 100 divided by 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 I just want him back and practicing. Hall, Hurst and Key really have shown some promise and should elevate our pass-rush substantially. Even Jelly had some awesome plays collapsing the pocket this PS. It's going to be awesome seeing Mack and Irvin combined with these pieces. They should all help mask the deficiencies in the secondary to a certain extent.

How much manufactured BS and rumor mongering is going on. Honestly.... I hate social media. Everything is just click bait. Very true. Although the article did raise a valid point of it being the byproduct of people's demand for free stuff on the internet. Under that model, these outlets will be motivated by views to generate ad revenue. Twitter is a whole other crap hole. On a similar note, I've been stoked with The Athletic for those who haven't given it a try. Worth the subscription IMO. Tafur (and others) have some good stuff on there and Ted Nguyen puts out some awesome film breakdown articles. Hopefully that model gains more traction with other outlets.

Totally worth it. Nguyen gives awesome looks at players. Tafur is just a solid writer. Twitter is a cesspool. Just constant click bait and hot takes.

Which is a little under 4$ a month. Just for Ted's film review articles, it's worth it. Vic seems to have insider info as well that you won't get anywhere else. He also talks to all the position coaches and Mckenzie from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raiders4life Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 https://overthecap.com/super-bowl-titles-high-salary-quarterbacks/ Steve Young holds the record for highest percentage of the salary cap consumed by a QB at 13%. Next season , Carr will be making nearly 20m which will put him close to 11% (190m estimated salary cap). The question is, if Mack gets extended now, and his number is above the estimated 17~m the franchise tag will cost, is it feasible for a team to win with more than 20% of the salary cap dedicated to two players? Read the link and you'll see that only 3 QBs since Steve Young won that Super Bowl have been above 10%. The average percentage of all the Super Bowl winning QBs comes out to a low 6%. I have no stat to back this up, but with the previous information in hand, I'm willing to bet that no team has ever won the championship dedicating 20% of their salary to only two players. Morale of this story is, as much as I love Mack, re-signing him is likely to reduce the Raiders chances of winning a Super Bowl. I love watching the guy but barring major CBA changes it is very likely to be detrimental to the team to pay him as much as he deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Interesting stats @raiders4life. I think we could manage though. Reggie works the cap well and with the move to LV soon, we will be able to offer players more enticing contracts due to the no state tax. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Is it bad that I'd rather have committed that money to Mack instead of Carr if we had to pick between the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
