Darbsk Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 So I guess Jimmy Garoppolo finished his Raiders career with a 0.333 ‘win rate’, significantly worse than Carr……….🧐 joking of course 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Couldn’t ask for a better team to make your first start against. Chargers dead last in pass defense. Hopefully we see things open up on offense where routes are run past 10 yards from the LOS 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloydFan Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Wow I can’t believe they’re actually starting him. This makes this a way more palatable game to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessie Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Looking forward to seeing O’Connell make his first start, hopefully first of many. Just want to win the game tho by any means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickButera Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Ekeler, bosa, Derwin James all out. I still don't think the game is winnable. But Staley is still the HC so you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickButera Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 What would you need to see to think McDaniels will give him next week's start over a healthy Jimmy? 300yards 2 tds no picks? The win with at least 250 yards? I'm kind of curious what's going through McDaniels mind in regards to this. The playbook is obviously going to be dumbed down a bit, and if he's more successful with a smaller playbook it makes me wonder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take a lot for him to admit he was wrong about Jimmy so early. If he's healthy enough to play next week he will Edited October 1, 2023 by Dodo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The playbook is obviously going to be dumbed down a bit, and if he's more successful with a smaller playbook it makes me wonder for me, (not what i think mcds will do), - can you back the chargers out of a stacked box? - can you get anyone else on the O involved outside of DA? - do you look poised in the pocket - can you push the ball down the field. Our first 40+ yard pass incoming??? - scramble to pick up a 1st on 3rd? - not to concerned about the W/L or specific stats. This will be more of an eye test game for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do you think Mcdaniels sees it the same way? Does he think, if he commands the offense, the job is his? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the Chargers, any game against them is eminently winnable 😀 For some reason, it doesn’t matter how strong their team is on paper I always fancy our chances against them, they never scare me really.

The playbook is obviously going to be dumbed down a bit, and if he's more successful with a smaller playbook it makes me wonder I’m not really thinking about his desired stats, what I want to see is AOC hitting the obviously open guys, see velocity on throws down the seams, accuracy and throwing on time and the odd play where he challenges the defensive backs deep. If he can do that the I’d think he would be able to run the offence at a reasonable level. Garoppolo simply hasn’t been able to be efficient which is his calling card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
