BobbyPhil1781 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Dang..... I just got excited to be a fan again after the AP hire. That was short lived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think so since AP seems really well liked across the league. Hard to say. I doubt Dodds would've been involved so late in the process if that was an issue. If it is, it'll make it easier to discount player's feelings going forward. I feel AP was the right hire but the process was very bungled. It's now a tradition under Mark. He desperately needs to hire a football VP and stay out of the way. He's a good guy but clearly out of his depth and buys into snake oil (Gruden, McDaniels). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that Davis didn't want a rookie HC and rookie GM pairing, which ended both Kelly and Dodds' chances here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kramxel Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Some random thoughts: Raiders are getting a grade A person that will promote a good environment throughout the team. He is a draft-draft-draft guy, until Staley got some more say with FA in his second year, Telesco only used FA to get low priority FAs or backup level players. This has been mentioned already, but through his 11 years, he only signed like 2 or 3 day 3 draft picks to a second contract. His draft philosophy has been very conservative, never trading down in 11 years, and his 2nd/3rd rounders have been notorious reaches. Don't think I'd consider him a top candidate in this cycle, or even expect him to get hired so soon. The super Chargers roster myth, is just that. Some big name players and a consistent black of depth throughout. Whish him and his family all the best, but don't think this is a good hire or a good fit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kael Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Tom Telesco needs to start writing thank you letters or buying gifts for the sports media personalities that continue to pimp out the idea of the stacked Chargers roster. The perpetually underwhelming, underachieving Chargers roster, while ignoring all of its glaring shortcomings. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramxel Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Also forget about players with the slightest asterisks only blue chip players will be drafted/signed. Edited January 23 by kramxel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Kyle Emmanuel, Darius Philon and Tyrell Williams all signed with the Raiders after they were part of Telesco's 2015 draft(and UDFA) class. 2018 class Brandon Facyson was one of his UDFA, also has become a Raider, another UDFA Roderic Teamer also joined the Raiders. We've signed more of his late round/udfa's than he has lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinen Johnson has bust written all over him, JC Jackson was a terrible FA signing which I said the first day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
