It’s a draft no need to explain why you didn’t pick a guy unless it was genuine. Flip side I bet it made bowers feel real confident lol. Some stuff just doesn’t need to be said Imo. Watching the war room videos imo telesco looked like the odd man out. Which, in Telesco's defense, represents my gripe about AP wanting to be more "one of the guys" than the HC. I'm not all Pro-AP, Anti-Telesco. I think both have their strengths and flaws and still just believe it was an ill-fit to match the two together.

I thought it was odd keeping most of the old staff there with telesco only bringing a couple of his guys. Telesco like the new kid in school tryna fit in. Especially odd when Ap is so close to mark. Iirc they even sat next to eachother in the draft war room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling Arnold makes zero sense to me. There is no point to this move.... Do I believe it was close between Bowers and Arnold, yes I do.

Prolly because there was so much pre draft convo between the 2 mostly, and secondly its prolly best to keep avenues open for the future (however long, or short that is for AP) But this is all spitballing theory on everyone's part.lol. on a side note, I did laugh at telescos magic 8 ball quip. Lol! Good for him. 👍😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the latter but we shall see... The OC debacle. Kingsbury was exciting and got people talking, mostly positively, about the possibilities. Then the embarrassment happened and we got left high and dry. Then we hired someone who many people.are undstandably skeptical about. He wasn't option #1 at all. There's no way around Getsy being a backup choice. Then we couldn't get a deal done for AP's guy (Daniels), which is understandable as I don't see how it was going to be feasible to land him anyway. But then Daniels goes to....the guy who left us at the altar. If Kingsbury and Daniels mesh and do what we think they're capable of, it's going to be an incredibly sore spot for us for a long time unless Getsy works some absolute magic. To top it all off, other than announcing the hire prematurely (which I think was fine), there's nothing that the Raiders organization could have really done to change it. There's really no egg on the face here, just a really crappy and ironic string of events. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
