ILoveTheVikings Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 9 more years of Gruden. Sorry Raiders fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very inconsistent hands, and he also needs to be open to make the catch. Cooper IMO is the best route runner in football behind Antonio Brown though (and thats a big gap). Coopers route running, even in college, was better than 95% of NFL WRs. Adam Thielen has something to say about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justwinbaby81 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Have to think that Gareon Conley is also being shopped considering he was given 0 defensive snaps this week despite being our best CB. Gruden cleaning house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kid would be a stud with a team like the Rams, Saints, Eagles, etc. I think both of those players could be really good still with the right situation and better positional coaching.

We weren’t sniffing the SB with this roster, and we also werent gonna get a Top 10 pick. Starting fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I thought Carr 2 Cooper was going to be a decade long connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see ghosts Derek Carr, Inconsistent Amari Cooper, Bust Karl Joseph?? These guys are untouchable? Yeah we traded away a HoF in Mack unfortunately... but it didn’t make sense to pay 23M to a guy for 5 years when we wont be contenders for 4 years. The better play is to get better draft position.

I didnt think you guys were too far away. Were you Super Bowl contenders? No, but if you drafted well over the next 3 drafts, you'd be right in the hunt. I didn't think Oakland needed to blow it up and I certainly didn't like your decision to trade Khalil Mack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better play is to get better draft position. If we hadn't traded Mack we would easily be 2-4! Seriously we were a 6 win team once Mack left. Now that he is out there is nobody untouchable. Full rebuild. Needs to happen on the offensive line too. We have high-paid players in a blocking scheme that doesn't fit the personnel. Could see Gabe Jackson, Osemele, or (lesser extent) Hudson traded...anyone with trade value could be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
