Jon and Mike are purely here for the insane paychecks they get. Hayneswothing the Raiders, at the Management/Coaching Level. I agree and we are wasting his prime years. We will never really know what we have with him until he is surrounded with a quality supporting cast and a D that can stop a HS team. I also don't really care for the WR corp we have assembled for Carr either. I have always thought he would do better with a big, physical, RZ threat at WR and we keep signing and drafting a bunch of shrimps. I have been pounding the table for D all day today but I would not be opposed to T. Marshall at 48 if he is there. What are you thoughts on TM?

Leatherwood has the most penalties in two years, and gave up 5 sacks in 2020. The source I posted is much better than that. Regardless, Leatherwood is not a good pass protector. He has a huge issue with speed rushers because he simply isn’t athletic enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you thoughts on TM? the best chemistry Carr ever had with a receiver was Crabtree. not that he was a big physically imposing guy, but his playstyle is that X you are describing who could win some tight window balls. Edwards is supposed to be our attempt to solve that problem, but there's really nobody else on the roster rn. Snead/Renfrow are slot guys. Ruggs/Brown certainly aren't that. Zay Jones? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaKid7 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 26 minutes ago, BayRaider said: Why are you defending this reach...? Why are you letting them off the hook? Classic justification period to ease your own grief. Darrisaw will be a Franchise RT while Leatherwood is moved to Guard after one season. Book it right now. Jon and Mike do not care about this team, and if you still believe that, I’m not sure what to tell you. Jon is here for 100M. He brought his good friend Mike here for a piece of the pie and lofty 3M salary and incentives. They are both here for the paycheck. Jon, Mike, and Carr will all be gone in 3 years and we will have absolutely nothing to show for it. As much criticism as I give Carr, at least he loves this Football Team and wants them to succeed. Jon and Mike are purely here for the paycheck. They are literally Albert Haynesworthing the Raiders. Not joking. You sure know a lot for someone who sits behind a computer all day long with zero connections in the NFL or the Raiders organization. But I'll for sure trust all that you spout on here. People that attack others motives when they've never met or even spoken to them is hilarious to me and I'll never understand speaking so confidently on another persons passions/motives. The lack of information you have yet the amount of absolutes you speak in is insane. At the end of the day I'm a fan, I want this team to be good and following the Raiders isn't fun or enjoyable for me if it's all doom and gloom. So yes I try to spin things in a positive way and I'll ALWAYS have hope because if theres no hope then theres no point in watching so im curious why you waste your time with something as bad and as hopeless as this franchise? I'll continue to be positive and wait for things to play out. It's been 20 years so far and I'll be a fan much longer than that moving forward. I have no power to change anything the Raiders do so at that point it comes down to how I want to think about the moves they make and I know for me I enjoy this all so much more through rose colored glasses. If you want to continue being negative and getting no joy from any move the Raiders make ever then be my guest. "Enjoy" the draft my man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 This is not related to football, but when I was familiar with this picture of Alex with glasses and braces... and then read "he has well over a thousand memes saved on his phone" all I could think is we drafted a memelord who is going to be gold on Twitter, but I can't find his Twitter handle.

It’s getting comical now like the scouts literally only watch Clem and bama games....oh and 8th grade lunchtime football games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 For all those posting numbers of Leatherwood’s Athletic Profile, all Athletic numbers are skewed because there was no combine. Pro Day Numbers are all heavily inflated, always have been. It makes Leatherwood look like a way better athlete than he is. All you have to do is watch Leatherwood on tape and see him severely struggle because of his athleticism. It is NOT a coaching issue. It is a bonafide not athletic enough issue.

We’ll revisit this post in a year and you’ll see I’m right on Darrisaw/Leatherwood. Don’t get me wrong, Leatherwood isn’t going to be Brandon Parker at RT, but he’ll be below-average, while Darrisaw is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
