The roster sucks. The depth is still lacking and there just isn't anything to do about it.
Going to be another long year in Oakland. Fans (you know the ones) will be calling for RM and DA to be fired, but it's just dumb.
This is a 4 year rebuilding. If anyone thought differently, they were sorely mistaken. |
+1
and pleased to be starting Pryor and getting those 2 wins! Thank you.
EDIT: I just wanted to add that team (read: Starters) has potential and COULD win but it's the DEPTH at every position that stinks. Injuries are a part of the game and that's where the Raiders come apart.

Good move for the future of the team, terrible move for my sanity when reading this thread next season.

Some people believe otherwise. I agree with you though. |

+1, although if we magically managed to stay healthy i could see us winning 8.
the d was starting to click at the end of the year, which gives me faith in tarvers scheme... and the offense will be much better just with knapp gone... maybe not in points but in TOP which will help the D a lot

I think the better way to put it is, we can compete w/ Palmer but we can't compete w/ Pryor.
If our defense seems to get it and we can somehow play half as better, we're a 7 win team. Again, we're not as far off on offense to be able to compete.

The problem would be that if he fails and fails badly, Allen will be out of a job. |
if olson doesnt pan out then DA and reg maybe out of a job. |
Exactly the Qb is going to be key to their longevity. Reggie will be here but if we finish with 2-4 wins DA will be out. That's why talk of tanking the season is nonsense. |
idk ive heard about the mike holmgren rumors...some how call me crazy but i think the reg had more to do with the olson hiring than DA. I understand giving reg some time but i thought we were trying to avoid this revolving door of coaches. if olson fails then gets the boot it will be just like old times and all this "change cause AL is gone" wont have the same significance. |
Very much doubt Reggie had anything to do with Olson as he didn't with Knapp, but should Olson fail then Allen will fall and Allen knows it. OC and DC's change all the time, the revolving door is about HCs not sure why you would try and link that. |
thats what im saying if olson fails then allen will get the boot and that would mean 3new oc's and 2new hc in a 3 yr span. kinda just like the "AL" days.

i can agree with the bold.
imhvo we dont know how the team will look/play/perform without cp so to put 2-4 is kinda idk...
if you asked people would the raiders be better with jc or cp qb'ing only a select few would answer jc. but in real life jc had the better record.

Its not comparable; the teams were completely different. This is beyond blatantly obvious.

No. Raiders are not competing for anything. They don't have the talent or depth to compete regardless of the QB.
IMO, Denver is the class of the division. KC got better so far this offseason and SD is a better team right now.
Unless the Raiders do some serious offseason work and hit on some draft picks, they are the 4th place team in the division and only SD will challenge for them but they are far more talented.

You're ridiculous dude. How the hell is a guy supposed to come in after half a year of no football to pick up a new offense? And it wasn't even the same team then because McFadden was hurt.

I don't think that's entirely true...I feel Mark Davis is all in with the RMC/DA regime, and as long as our defense improves, we show growth overall and we are a franchise QB away from being competitive than I think he gets another year... |

That's fine you feel that way but I disagree on offense. We have plenty of above average talent at the WR position and it's very young and IMO, only going to get better. We have a QB who is more than capable of running the offense. We have a (hopefully in the new scheme) premiere back albeit not the entire season. We have holes at TE and a couple parts of the offensive line. We have a new OC and a great line coach. I think the offense will improve.
Defense on the other hand.....
If somehow, someway, they can do well improving that side of the ball, we're potentially an 8 win team. While that might not compete for a playoff spot, it's still a competitive team. We'll lose some games we're not supposed to and vice-versa. We're not going to know a whole lot for another month and a half though so it's all speculation. There is one thing that is not though and that is us being a better team w/ Pryor instead Palmer.
