He's just trolling because he's upset about the trade. Raiders fans certainly have a right to be upset about it and the rest of whats happened today. I hope you guys still manage to do well and turn those pics into something worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you guys don't fully understand is that a team should not pay a non QB 23 plus million when you have a QB under contract making 20. Trust me Carr is much more critical to this team than Mack was. A 20 million dollar non QB severely handicaps depth, FA and imagine if that that 20 million dollar DE gets severely injured, the team is serious trouble. The only teams that are able to pay players like Mack big time money are teams with young QB's on rookie contracts. Now all the garbage comes out that Gruden has lost his mind, MD doesn't have money to pay and the Raiders are a dysfunctional franchise once again. Blah, blah balh, all trash and nonsense. Average fans are hurt, I get it and Mack is a hell of a player but let's say the Bears are terrible which I fully expect them to be and we land Bosa. That would be a great move, we get a 21 year old apparent stud on a super friendly contract for the next 4 or 5 years. I'm not saying Bosa is Mack but you get what I am saying. If the NFL didn't have a salary cap I would be furious with this move but football is a business first and from a business prospective moving Mack makes sense as bad as it stings. AD was a totally different situation for the Rams bc Goff's rookie contract is team friendly for the next few seasons and by that time he gets paid AD will be 31 and they can cut bait with him. If Goff had a contract like Carr I can assure you the Rams would have had to move AD. I think you're pretty much spot on, it's hard to pay 2 players close to 50M/Y especially when you've been getting almost nothing from your last 3 drafts.You need a solid roster around those 2 to be able to compete and you can't do it if you don't have cap room and your draft classes aren't producing. I think Mack is a better player than Carr but obviously QB is more valuable. The Raiders were in a unique situation having to pay 2 guys from the same draft class elite money. They made it even harder when they extended Gabe at the top of the G market. That would have been 3 players from one class getting top 5 money at their position on one team! Had the Raiders prioritized re-signing Mack in 2017 over Gabe, they could have re-signed him around 20M/Y. Having 2 Gs making 10M+/Y on top of a QB at 25M+ is extremely questionable.

I will admit that I was very optimistic for the 2018 season but after today my expectations have been revised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackinBlack Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 All my excitement for week 1 is gone. Gruden has made this all about his return. This move did not need to happen, and the Raiders throwing in a 2nd round pick shows that they wanted it to get done. Sad sad day for Raider fans.

Tbh, I'm more upset about Bryant. I agree 100 percent and I'm about to crack open a cold one. Not sure if it will do the trick but it cant hurt.... I thought Bryant would ball out in Oakland. now one can only imagine what could have been with all of that wasted talent. He has elite skills and a .50 head on his shoulders. Cutting MB stings way more than losing mack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
