But if the idiot didn't mess up the covid tracing stuff he wouldn't have even been in that situation iirc. Ah well, you already know he's going to play great and healthy next year for the Pats and likely con some other team into a big contract.

Good luck to him, but good riddance honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Imagine having to have a clause in your contract that you have to be below a certain weight cause you lack self control lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Easy to hate on Trent. The bigger issue is 1) Gruden knew who he was, signed him any way. And 2) The Raiders are not a well run organization. This is not a winning place. The shock players must feel when coming from programs like NE has to be immense. Winning organizations are just different. If you value money, play for the Raiders, Jaguars, etc. You value legacy, NE, Pitt, KC, GB, etc. are better fits. No argument can be made. The culture of the Raiders has not been changed in decades. Just win baby and commitment to excellence are great sound bites, but this franchise hasn't embodied that mentality since the 80's. Grunden 2: More Grudener has done nothing to change the losing perception of this franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fault the Raiders for knowing that and still deciding to sign him to the largest contract for a Rt ever anyway.

Paying lazy, unmotivated players when you know they are lazy and unmotivated is bad business Yeah, Brown had weight and injury problems in San Francisco which is why they traded him to New England for virtually nothing. The only dominant season where he was healthy the year was his 1 year with New England. But even at the time of the signing most speculated that he'd play LT because RT's never get contracts that big. Hell he literally made twice as much as the next highest paid RT in the league last season. Mitchell Schwartz had a $10M cap hit and he was an All-Pro for 4 straight seasons in Kansas City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made $4M in his first 4 seasons and made $37M in two years with us while only playing in 15/32 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was chatting with my friend about this the other day. Like 90% of the guys that we've acquired under Gruden have stunk and the 10% that are actually good at football are/were crazy with checkered pasts. We lack leadership across the board but I'd primarily point to Jon Gruden and Derek Carr. You see the Tom Brady effect in Tampa Bay, those guys all played hard and stayed in line because they believed in Tom and wanted to win. I don't think guys in our locker room are that fond of Carr.

oakdb36 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 The Raiders aren't out there saying it's Brown's fault though. They're saying he's the best RT in the league when he's right. On the other hand, Brown is blaming the "place of work" for everything. A place of work he didn't have access to during a pandemic. Instead of working on his own, he showed up to work totally out of shape. It's too easy to put the blame on the organization when you don't hold up your end of the bargain. He wasn't "feeling" it though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown being out of shape and also his large body even when “in shape” probably had something to do with the missed injection. Im Not a doctor obviously but anyone can see that being that fat AND muscular makes an intravenous Injection significantly more difficult then the average in shape adult. Obviously the doctor shouldn’t have gotten air into his vein, but it happened.... but TB’s displeasure with the team started last year.... and this was just one reason TB used to justify him quitting. The guys a professional victim. This is as an Isolated issue from the medical staff. This isn’t the Browns medical staff back in roughly 07-10 who had rampant staph infection outbreaks amongst players who had surgery. That was a pattern of neglect. But the real thing is we don’t want a professional victim mindset, especially at OL. Give me a guy like Incognito every day over a Guy like TB who finds ways to play the victim. i think it’s also worth noting that when TB Came Here he went on and on about his best friend Nieron Ball and how he came to this team to honor his lost friend. It was actually a touching subject matter. But the guy literally gives up on the team before the first season Ended. It doesn’t take much for TB to become Upset and unmotivated.
