He is 9 and I would be extremely surprised if he knew who Marino was. He knows nothing of Fin history... it is all about Hill for him. It is a hecka lot better than him being a Chef fan so I am subjectively happy about that.

Any big dominating DT's that can pressure QB's? I will take two of those please.

time to school him on disappointment.
and then show him the way

Color me unimpressed. A bunch of those were coverage sacks and a few someone else actually beat him to the QB. He lined up inside and looped around two gaps to get there - that ball's gone in the NFL long before that. We don't have the coverage to support a pass rusher that needs that kind of time.Hey, you wanna fall in love?

I suppose being so expensive to live in Cali because of taxes and the sheer number of homeless has something to do with it. What was once a beautiful state has turned into an ugly place in many ways.

the state is still beautiful sans a few cities, but Oakland is not the place anymore for a sports team hence the Warriors jumping across the bay and the A's probably leaving. I do miss the tailgates as they were amazing out there in Oakland.

pretty gorgeous down here in laguna beach. pricey yes, but it's ridiculously perfect.
Nine years and they could never figure out how to give Carr enough help. Let’s hope this regime can figure it out.
If Ziegler and McDaniels don’t feel Richardson is worth taking a gamble on in the 1st round, how do you all feel about Hendon Hooker on day 3? He gives you a lot of the same athleticism Richardson would plus more experience. He’s not as big, fast and strong as Richardson and is coming off a knee injury but he brings proven leadership at Tennessee and big game experience that Richardson has yet to do.

i'd be good with him. way less invested.

Agreed. Sure he doesn't bring Richardson's all around athleticism, but he's 6'4", 218 lbs can move, has a good arm, high accuracy and tons of experience.
Works for me.

I watched a few Tennessee games this year and was very impressed with his on field play. I know you can't really know what kind of person he is from postgame interviews, but he also came across very well in those.

Footballguy
I'm in, but he tore his ACL, yeah?
Yeah, doubt he’ll be a viable starter in 2023.

There goes our SB run
Chaka
Footballguy
Richardson isn't exactly a viable starter right now either.
Ha! Touché’ we have at least Stidham to bridge the QB gap. If they really do sign Brady or Rodgers, they won’t need him in 2023 anyway.
What’s a SB run? I vaguely remember what that is.
joey
Footballguy
a bridge made of straw. C'mon. As promising as he was in that 1 game, I don't want him starting next year. I'd rather have a mid-level vet stop gap and draft a QB in the 2nd round and hope against hope that this front office can actually draft talent and get this team headed in the right direction.
This is the Raiders. I have a lot of respect for you and your posts but I know you know this organization is going to do something desperate and/or stupid. Not matter who’s calling the shots. You really think Skoronski is going to put any butts in the seats at Agilent? They need a game changer to turn those red KC jerseys into Silver & Black. Just my opinion
So you’re all for Hooker day 3? Because I am. If Richardson is fools gold he would be my pick later on.

All for Hooker in Vegas. Hooker's arm strength is amazing. Hookers got great legs. The total package.

Please tell me there's some WR named Willie Blow that's worth drafting
I think Rashawn SheHe has already been drafted lol

So why is Hooker a day 2/3 guy?
Injury and I don’t know what I’m talking about here, but he’s going to miss the combine and any offseason activities of the team who drafts him.

I remember over 20 years ago when I was full of life we did that kind of stuff.... now, I am run down and broken and so is my team.

You are giving them more credit than I am willing to give them at this point.
They have to do something right? Mahomes is still in their division last time I checked,

They have to so something.... having something planned isn't exactly the same thing.

The thing is that very rarely is a team gonna hit on a QB that can lead a team to the SB. Brady was a generational except. If they go with Stidham and he sucks, they are in the Caleb Williams sweepstakes. I think his game will translate to the NFL at a level that can compete with Mahomes.
You and I differ in that if they draft Richardson now he’ll be ready in 2024. Why suck for Williams when they can kinda suck for the best defensive player while having the QB position set
Chaka
Footballguy
Because Richardson's bust potential is world's higher than Williams.
The only concern with Williams is he's 6'1", it would be nice if he were 6'4" but oh well, everything about him looks pro-ready.

I live in north santa barbara county. still just as beautiful and flawed as ever here. grandmother told stories of being beaten for speaking spanish in school here as a little girl and being told "we don't serve indians" at bars in the 80's. those things don't happen anymore mostly, so I think things have improved for us anyway.

How accurate the top QBs were, by depth of target.
You gotta be scared of Levis, man.

It is no coincidence that the four teams in the conference championship games have some of the best defensive lines in the NFL. The Eagles’ Dline basically won the game on the second play. KCs Chris Jones is probably the second best interior lineman behind Aaron Donald and wreaked havoc yesterday. Cincy’s Dline basically put the nail in the coffin against the Ravens last week and kept them in the game yesterday. And we all know how strong the 9ers D is.
Point is, in the coming months, most will be focused on the rookie QBs (I’m already guilty of this) and the landing spot of free agent QBs. I’m posting this now because there is going to be so much over analyzing of QBs and so much talk of who’s going where and who drafting a QB. The dominance of the Dline play will be lost. Philly and KC also probably have the two best GMs in the league and are showing it’s still a team game won in the trenches.
The Raiders have been notoriously bad in the trenches, especially the Dline and their win-loss record reflects that. I know I’ve been having fun on here pushing for them to draft Anthony Richardson (I will still crack a smile if they do), but in all reality, the best bet is all resources should be spent on that Dline and Oline, the proof is in the Super Bowl.

This type of logical thinking should not be anywhere near the Raiders. We aren’t about winning. We want the QB that throws the ball the farthest and the WRs and CBS that run the fastest.

Don't forgot about the project players who have a troubled past, or sketchy draft profile, but we talk ourselves into their upside.

There is a deadline approaching in the Derek Carr sweepstakes, and there has been a snag in the Raiders finding a trade partner for their quarterback. The Raiders have not given Carr’s agent permission to talk to other teams, league and team sources familiar with the matter confirmed to The Athletic on Monday. Sports Illustrated first reported the news. Here’s what you need to know:
Younger declined comment for this story. General manager Dave Ziegler, on his way to Mobile, Ala., for the Senior Bowl, was not available for comment.
Younger has not given the Raiders a list of teams that he would be open to a trade to, the sources said, for the simple reason that it’s wide open. Several teams have still not hired a coach or offensive coordinator.
And while The Athletic has reported that Carr has no plans to extend the Feb. 15 salary guarantee deadline, there is another possibility that the Raiders should consider: Carr would want time to talk to his potential new head coach and coordinator before a deal is consummated, so could decide to set his own earlier deadline of Feb. 8 and cut off trade talks if nothing is worked out by then.
Carr does seem to be holding all the cards, and maybe the Raiders have already decided to move on and lose the nine-year starter for nothing rather than cede any control of the process.
theathletic.com
- The Raiders have to trade Carr or cut him before Feb. 15, when the $32.9 million base salary for next year and $7.5 million for 2024 money become fully guaranteed.
- Carr has veto power over any trade.
- Carr, 31, was benched for the final two games of the 2022 regular season. The Raiders started Jarrett Stidham at quarterback instead. Carr left the team after the benching so as not to be a distraction.
- He sent a goodbye message to fans of the organization via social media in January, signaling an end to his nine-year career with the team.
Why haven’t the Raiders given Carr permission?
The Raiders might be concerned that Tim Younger, Carr’s agent, would be working out a free-agent deal with the new team rather than helping with trade terms. But Younger can do that on Feb. 16, well ahead of the other quarterbacks in the league hitting the free-agent market. Younger would need to talk to the new team about Carr’s contract — either restructuring the current one or carving out a new one — either way.Younger declined comment for this story.

What options are left?
It would seem that the Raiders and Carr should work together to find a trade partner. Carr would have first dibs on his new team — who could rework his contract and avoid him hitting the free market in March — while the Raiders could get a draft pick back in return, or a veteran player that they want.And while The Athletic has reported that Carr has no plans to extend the Feb. 15 salary guarantee deadline, there is another possibility that the Raiders should consider: Carr would want time to talk to his potential new head coach and coordinator before a deal is consummated, so could decide to set his own earlier deadline of Feb. 8 and cut off trade talks if nothing is worked out by then.

Raiders haven't granted Carr permission to seek trade
Las Vegas has to trade or cut Carr before Feb. 15, or else the QB is guaranteed $40.4 million over the next two years.

i still think the raiders let the deadline pass and then deal him. carr gets his money and the raiders at least get something. carr ain't getting 33M on the open market.
