It's the reason why I would be willing to gamble on McDaniels as the next HC for the Raiders. No need to reiterate why people don't like him, I get it and think it is narrow minded logic. If people want to go through life judging everyone exclusively by their worst performance that's up to them but I doubt it gets them far.
Honestly, I think both of these teams have been so bi-polar that the Raiders already had a chance to win.
I'd be ok with McDaniels. But after the Indy fiasco I was under the impression he was going to stay in NE to take over for Belichick when he retires, but I could be totally wrong.
Agree on both. But if Patricia sticks around New England for a few more years I think he should work his way back into the conversation.
That is actually fair.
McDaniels gives off a strong "no moral compass" vibe. He will do whatever is in his best interests without any other consideration. Throw money at him and he will jump.
Too bad because the Dark Side seems like more fun. Who thinks partying with Ewoks sounds like fun?
Was making the playoffs ever in doubt?
Ruggs is a big part of it, sorry that you don't want to hear it as an explanation. Losing Ruggs was losing a big part of this offense. The other part is his confidence, or lack of really, in the Oline.
Not buying that. Sorry you don't want to hear that. Carr has made some kind of salad out of chicken $hiot his entire career. Until now. Maybe he does shrink when the light gets bright. Kinda like a shrinky dink. It seems odd he can do nothing without a wr who did not dominate the stats while playing. It's not like Ruggs was lighting it up. He may have opened up the lower levels of the route tree but if that all it take then God help you guys. I'm not convinced. the confidence thing I think I can side with. He looks cooked.
My problem with Carr this year has been his inconsistent approach. With or without Ruggs from game to game or even half to half you don't know if you are getting the aggressive guy that makes things happen or the guy that is willing to take 3 yard completions on third and 8 and apathetically trot off the field for 4-5 straight possessions.
as a waller owner in the magic footballs, after week one, and its 20+ targets. dude hasn't been a huge factor. a factor, but not much of one. mostly due to utilization
i'm not debating his faith. i'm saying that his faith interferes with his ability to play(win at all costs) and lead a group of violent men, that don't share his beliefs(for the most part). his faith is what tells me, he and ruggs weren't best buddies, like you seem to think they were. i don't think carr is tight(off the field) with anyone that isn't a fellow bible thumper.
I totally agree with your second statement but Waller is the best receiving threat on the team and it’s not close. Great QBs can overcome losing Waller and Ruggs but Carr is not great. He is good enough however and is not near the top of problems for the Raiders.
I just threw those guys out as the most readily available, most well know examples.

Ruggs did text Carr at 9 or 10 pm the night of the crash asking him for tips on his golf swing. They may not have been besties but they were clearly close.
Meh. It’s just an opinion. I could be totally wrong. I don’t care one way or another. I’m just trying to figure the dude out.
neither was i!
just pointing out that texting someone who is well versed in something that you're doing in the moment, does not equal besties for life.
I have zero interest in him. I think next to Barry Switzer he may be the luckiest coach to ever win a super bowl. I can recall on several occasions while watching an Eagles game I had the thought "how did this guy ever win a super bowl?" He makes some maddeningly bad in game decisions and I've never been impressed with him. IMO he's just a completely average to maybe below average coach that had an incredibly lucky, magical post season run.
I can't say one way or another but I don't remember that Philly team to be overly talented and they won with Foles. I mean... Foles for crying out loud!
He's Matt Nagy with a title. He won a title and no one can take that away, but his overall body of work there was not impressive. I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like anyone has been beating down his door trying to get him to coach their team. Hard, hard pass for me.
And I very clearly stated that it doesn't mean they're besties. But spare me that they weren't friends or close nonsense. That's clearly not the case and I am surprised you keep pursuing it.neither was i!
I have some level of interest in both Tampa coordinators and I am a big fan of Tomlin. I can't see Tomlin leaving Pitt though.
Urban Meyer’s available.
He's the reason the Dabo Sweeney rumors scare the cr@p outta me. I know Dabo isn't Urban, but the NFL is a completely different animal than the college game. If you can't leave your ego at the door, be willing to change and treat players like adults you won't succeed at the next level.DA RAIDERS said:Urban Meyer’s available.
Dabo wouldn't do well with pros I don't think. He already hates the transfer portal at the college level and outside of Jack Easterby I don't think any team would allow his on-field baptisms. Pro players wouldn't go for his shtick.
