oakdb36 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Michael Thomas should be in the discussion for MVP. He has 5 straight games over 100 yards (7 this season), 8 or more catches in 10 out of 11 games, 23 more catches than the 2nd best on the season. He's the best and it's not close.

That's why guys like Williams and Renfro are being left open more. Waller has opened it up for others. Unfortunately today, the others didn't make the plays to keep drives going and completely dug us into a hole. This is why they need another #1 WR. The Raiders need a money guy who can get those yards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. This offense will never be great without one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the most consistent but idk if he's the best. Doesn't have that game breaking ability and he's basically their only receiver on the team worth a dam so obviously he's going to get his targets. He's like a very rich man's Keenan Allen. When you watched AB the last four years with his skill set, that's best in the league type stuff.

When you watched AB the last four years with his skill set, that's best in the league type stuff. He's targeted and he makes plays on every target. The only reason Thomas isn't more hyped in fan circles is because he's in the rare Nuk, Julio breed of WRs who just go out and handle their business. No talking, no diva antics. Just do it for themselves. I'd take Mike over Odell and his loud mouth 7 days a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I’d take MT over any WR in the league. Sure he’s not the most explosive but I’ve never seen anyone shut him down. You can’t. Best security blanket WR ever. Julio and Odell might be more explosive but they easily get shut down by top corners. I loved MT in the draft. I think @big_palooka was his biggest advocate if I am remembering correctly. Although I feel our fan base really like him in general more than most other fan bases. One of the very few Mayock has been wrong about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single person here wanted Jihad Ward. And he probably ended up being the worst player in the first two rounds. Literally just a body.

What a waste of a pick that was. I wanted Hargrave in the 3rd. They drafted Calhoun. And wierd thing in that class... round 4, Jerry wants Cook and the Raiders trade up to take him. The Cowboys settle for Dak later in the round. Litterally nothing went right that draft except for Karl Joseph flashing....in 2019!! lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Joseph was my hope for us in the 2nd. Or 3rd. LOL. I also wanted Cravens (USC Homer) but that would not have panned out I guess haha, Darnell Bing 2.0 (remember him?) The Falcons grabbed a few guys for their defense I liked. Alford, Trufant, Jarrett. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 If im the Rams I am hitting the panic button. This is not a Super Bowl hang over. They have three of the worst contract on the offensive side of the ball. Goff, Gurley and Cooks. Traded away your first round picks. Likely won't be able to sign your best LB in FA. McVay got exposed by the Bears last year on SNF and the Pats just copied it. McVay has shown that he cann't make any adjustments. All this and going into a brand new stadium. Rams had there nice couple of years but they're going to be bad for a while for the decisions they have made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
