big_palooka Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Imagine being Mark Davis. You move your franchise to Vegas. Year 1, you can't have any fans in your stadium. Year 2, the face of your franchise resigns in disgrace. You have a player responsible for the death of a young girl. A player brandishing firearms threatening to "real deal" kill some one. How much more embarassing can things get for him? Has their ever been an NFL season like this for a team? He has to be emotionally exhausted from all of this. Side note... give these poor beat writers a raise. Can you imagine covering this ****show? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chali21 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I’m having a hard time blaming Mayock for this. He doesn’t seem like the kind of guy to take a player with these issues. Reading between the lines they felt he’d have been a good fit for the scheme (guenthers). Mayock is a pretty savvy guy and I think that he’ll scout players early on and present reports to the coaches and they choose the players. It also seems like he has more control now and he’s making moves to rectify the problems Gruden created. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loved him and Mayock admitted as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing it on a player with without the athetlic testing and length for the position, strike 2. When you realize the player is 24 and still has red flags, thus probably not outgrowing them, that should have been strike 3. Mayock has a lot of egg on his face with this one. I appreciate that he owned it, but I'm not letting you stay on to screw anything else up. How does a talent evaluator balance what they see in film and mix it with the athletic testing between Arnette and Ferrell great on film but don’t project in the NFL up till now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish he got infront of the media when the Gruden/Ruggs stuff came out, also wish he didn't have such a dumb head. But overall I like him. However he NEEDS to get a freaking football leader in the building. Not an ego-maniac HC. Not a TV personality for GM. But a legitimate, high-end football mind to help build our FO, coaching staff and roster. Hand the keys over to someone capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie2Gunz Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 You all knew I couldn't resit my favorite picture when it comes to the Raiders. I hated this pick from day one and bashed it every day. The guy is a flat out bum and embarrassment. Some of you were sticking up for the guy which blew my mind. Another first round pick wasted, hence my favorite picture.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 The Mack trade stings even more knowing how big of a bust Arnette was. We essentially got Josh Jacobs and cap room (Wasted on TB77, Joyner, etc) for Khalil freaking Mack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
