Manuel is a ok backup, and Cook has been terrible so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have high expectations, but its hard to dislike the move (at this juncture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have high expectations, but its hard to dislike the move (at this juncture) I agree. He is only 23, was the top high school QB recruit, played well his first year in college but was unfortunately drafted by the Jets. A change of scenery will hopefully have him reach his full potential and if not we lose nothing. Hard to not like the move and worst case he puts some heat on Cook to improve.

We only trade anything if he makes the team and is on the roster for a few games I believe. So no big deal, like BP said, another camp arm and possibly could overtake Cooks spot. I don’t care for either, but competition is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what happens if he's cut before week one? The Jets don't get anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you'll hear it a thousand more until this forum stop falling in love with these type players. People were comparing him to Kam Chancellor when he was more Taylor Mays.

Looking like another wasted round 2 pick. Gruden was talking about his injury not his play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was mention by the last staff about his un-willingness to get out there and staying in the training room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the News forum someone said it was based on him being on the active roster for 2 or 3 games to start the season. So Im assuming that if he is cut before that time then we dont owe the Jets any compensation, which means he must be pretty bad for the Jets to give up on him that easily already.

MrOaktown_56 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I won't criticize Obi until/unless he sucks on the field. Can't knock someone's talent for injuries... There's still time before training camp. If he's missing time there, that's a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overhyped because of his H/W/S and combine performance. For all his size, he's didn't flash as a tackler or playmaker. 3 hours ago, daineraider said: 7 hours ago, Rich7sena said: I think in the News forum someone said it was based on him being on the active roster for 2 or 3 games to start the season.

Raiders have nothing to lose in this trade. He doesn't make the roster, they give up nothing. He makes it, they give up next to nothing. Best case, Olsen/Callahan coach him up and Raiders get some future value in comp. pick or trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
