Herbert and nothing. Patriots have a better offensive roster lol. They have a pretty good looking Oline and Dobbins, if he returns to form could have a big year running the ball. I think McConkey becomes a heck of a player for them in time. But largely right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck would have been the 3rd or 4th QB off the board easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tore his achilles, mcl, lcl, acl, etc. All the football doctors seem to think it’s over for him. Chargers only guaranteed him 50k. 50k…. Would certainly be a crazy comeback story if he’s actually relevant. I think Gus is likely the worsehorse and Dobbins just has a few carries.

If Minshew Mania gets us Carson Beck, I'd consider that a successful season of sorts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 This will be the last season we see of Adams as a Raider imo. I could even see him sent out before the deadline if we only have 2-3 wins. I think it would wise for both parties to part if we are near the bottom of the standings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprise people as being average, or do you expect him to perform like a top 10+ QB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually rather hope we suck so we can get a QB next year without having to pay an exorbitant price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know exactly what you are getting. Why would surprise anyone now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carson gets to go back to UGA, compete for a National Title and go #1 overall vs being QB 3 or 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I genuinely can’t blame the FO for trying to get a qb this year. I liked McCarthy quite a bit but I also get why they wanted to build the OL/DL and add weapons. We will be a pretty good situation for a rookie to come into next year IMHO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're very reliant on our few studs at key positions to be competitive. The rest of the roster and our depth is pretty bleak. And most/all of our top guys will either be expensive, old, gone, or a combination thereof by the start of the 2026 season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
