Now? Amari Cooper = traded Jordy Nelson = retired Martavis Bryant = Probably going to IR, and not that good anyway Raiders fans have to be sick. No, after trading Mack everything has just been numb. Since then nothing shocks or surprises me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre retracting imo cuz they dont wanna be outed for people finding out who leaked the news. Vic Tafur, who's very close to the team, has all but stated it's Nelson. It's just a reporter trying to keep from looking untrustworthy to the team. Plus if Jordy wasn't retiring, you'd think him or someone in the Raiders would deny the report.

Pugger Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Well, this is very strange. I guess until we hear from the Raiders/NFL/ESPN we shouldn't jump to conclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have an eye for talent and shown no actual skill in developing players. Hey I'm not the owner. I didn't hire him. I'm not going to damn him before he even starts. If he fails and is terrible, I will call him out. It's far too early to do that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddfather Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I would hope they would let him go, but who knows.. I can see it either way, He was kicking around retirement after the Packers offer anyways. He was one of my favs, and I would take him back in a heart beat, but I just don't see it happening. It would be a nice gift from the NFL who seems to like mess with us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruden is coaching/creating a train wreck. And it's a 10 year, guaranteed train wreck! Not necessarily. You have to give him time to put together a roster he thinks will work best for his scheme. There may be a couple of rough seasons, but I think he will at least be able to make them competitive given a little more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just sucks as a coach and has no idea what he's doing. Silly him. It's too bad that Cooper and Mack are gone. We were dominating last year with them so I have no idea why we need to rebuild. Especially because so many of our drafted players from 2015-17 are starting for us rn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchie Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 First off, I think it was kinda crappy for Gruden and co. to waste the man's time, knowing they were ultimately going to tear it all apart. Considering all that's transpired, bringing in Jordy made absolutely no sense. I was however excited to see Carr and Jordy make some noise, but that deal just hasn't materialized for whatever reason. Honestly, I don't think he'll retire retire. He's probably just trying to get out of a bad situation. The Raiders should do the right thing and cut him loose so he can latch on with another team, and hopefully salvage what appears to be another lost season... 19 hours ago, RuskieTitan said: Enjoy retirement, Jordy. Unfortunate ending to his career. Do you guys think he makes it on the first ballot, or is he one of those guys who don't get in? He did play for one of the more recognizable franchises, but he can't get away with more mediocre numbers at a place like Pittsburgh for example. If he hangs it up right now, I really don't see him getting in the Hall. The bulk stats just aren't quite there (88th all-time in rec yards; 38th all-time rec TDs). Now he accumulated about 75% of his career stats across a 4-5 year stretch, which is incredible, and remember, he was grossly underutilized during his first 3-4 years in the league, so he could possibly get some outside consideration, but in all honesty, it'd be a longshot.

titansNvolsR#1 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 He should try to snag that "old veteran that used to be amazing" role the Saints are looking to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
