Tank4Drake Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 4 minutes ago, Darbsk said: I’d agree, possibly not quite as naturally talented as Mack but he’s basically the face of the franchise and a guy who makes his teammates better, he’s probably a more influential figure than Mack. Both great, great players though. If I had to choose between them I’d probably go Crosby for the influence and way the current Raiders are kind of a reflection of him. He sets the tone of the team. Mack was a better athlete, no doubt, and a little more powerful, but at the end of the day, Mack and Crosby put up about the same end-results. I think Maxx is a lot more technical than Mack, more creative than Mack, and a smarter player than Mack (and I don’t mean that as disrespect). I also think Maxx has more stamina and a better leader than Mack. With that said, Mack’s athleticism made up for a lot. End-result, they are equal players in their prime IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, we as fans have been lucky to have both but unlucky not to have the two together! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope Crosby learns how to create turnovers on the strip sack like Mack did year 3 or 4 definitely teachable; and if Crosby can learn itll help his sack numbers too. the only thing with Crosby is his over pursuit, I’d run delay runs at his side. you couldn’t run to Mack’s side early on. Also not a knock on Crosby, just as a OC I’d be thinking couple delayed runs early on his side might make him slow down a bit, and you can def catch him from time to time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I wish they would shut him down for the rest of the season. Get the surgery he needs and allow him to rehab. Gain nothing by playing him the rest of the season. Use this time to give Tyree those extra reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it requires surgery then 100%, shut him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he says the bye was a perfect timing and he’s all good now. Having a bye that late in the season in brutal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is two things we are all united on. Maxx Crosby is a complete beast, best player on the team, Top 5 defensive player in the league, and deserves every dollar. And Jimmy G has the skills equivalent to a dumpster, filled with rats and maggots, and a smell more vile than the Chargers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll rather have Ben Johnson, Frank Smith, Dan Quinn, Joe Brady…. We smoke cigars after missing the playoffs. I’m sorry but it’s cringe. It’s a gimmick. Yell out Raiders and quote Al Davis and the fanbase will love you. Vikings, Colts ….. we stood no shot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 1 minute ago, Humble_Beast said: Joe Brady Geez, sure don't agree with that one. AP came into a totally toxic environment and turned around the entire room and got some impressive results. If he was the HC the entire season we honestly make the playoffs. That is very impressive given the fact we had a washed Jimmy and raw AOC at the helm, and we have squandered decades of draft picks/FA cash. That and the fact the players would die for him has earned him the opportunity at a short-term contract imo. Back to back cycles we hired the flashy "Offensive genius" options and got historically burnt both times. It's time we finally hire a leader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
