Would like to see him against better competition. The Rams Dline is XFL level bad. He looks good, but looks heavy footed in live reps I've seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is the sweet spot to spend big if needed to resign players or bring in a top FA/ trade for a Vet to improve the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a n offseason in the strength and conditioning program will solve some of that. He already looks more nimble now than in college Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to see if he’s a preseason wonder or real guy I too would like to see Farva get some action soon. He looked pretty dang pro ready in the pre season, progressing through reads, moving around the pocket and was accurate. That bodes well for him. But we all know Hoyer is #2 for McD, which is simply hysterical. If we do decide to pivot away from Jimmy and we decide to start 37 year old, career journeyman Brian Hoyer I will lose it. It would be such a Josh thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id ask him straight up. If he wants to be a Raider then great. We have the best WR in football to help a young QB. If he wants a chance at a ring, let him go, get a list and hope we get something good. Sucks though cause the contender that needs a WR the most is KC, and he wont be going there lol. I cannot believe its time to just break it all down again. 5-2 start the Gruden year, with a promising looking O. Whyyyyyyyyyyy did everything have to derail so fast.

That's just how this organization operates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think about just taking time off the NFL and waiting to hear about how great the Raiders are and then coming back to it. But here I am, being emotionally abused by a football team.

I've honestly just learned to turn the game off and just focus on getting ready for the week. Try to focus on other positive aspects of my life. I said it a while back, but my life is really good, so I just assume life can't be perfect and the part that messes it all up is being a Raiders fan. Lol.

I've done the same. Then realize, I may never watch football again the rate they are going and ask myself what I will do with my Sundays. It's been 20 years and the only thing that's changed is the owner sold out for money to move to Vegas where home fans can't afford the tickets so the stadium is a destination spot for opposing fans. Honestly, everything I loved about the Raiders has kind of faded in recent years. They've become The Blue Man group of professional football.

It's crazy, I've moved on from friends and family throughout my life because the relationships weren't healthy. Even gotten divorced after 10 years. If the Raiders were a woman, they'd have already taken your house, your car, your kids, everything. They're just that mentally unhealthy for you. People applaud you for leaving toxic relationships, but if you leave your team, you're a bandwagon fan and a fake. A hater. A poser. It's like I'm just going through the motions of being a fan hoping someday it'll be a healthy relationship again. People hate Carr, but at least he took us to 12 wins in a single season. I'll always be grateful to him (and JDR and the defense) for that. That season and the 10-7 season. At least we got to the playoffs. Right now, I'm just trying to find the light and the end of the tunnel for this franchise. I still don't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
