Yeah, I am coming around to the Pickett deal. And to the idea that Tom Brady and John Spytek know more than I do about football.

I don't think it is a rental, it is more like a 5th round selection but with more upside. When you select a 5th, you are hoping you generally get a depth player that plays ST and maybe you get lucky with more. A quality backup QB is not what you typically are getting with a 5th. They have a year to see what they got. If they like it then they can resign and then let him and AOC fight it out in the off season. I see no downside to this for costing a 5th.

AOC suuuuuuucccccckkkkkkkkssssss.

Who has been on a better team? Pickett, by a wide margin IMO.
And, has Pickett in any way performed better than AOC?
IMO the Steelers went 14-10 in spite of Pickett, not because of him.
Chaka

Yet somehow he has better stats than Pickett across the board.
And I kinda agree, but the same applies to Pickett.

AOC is like a bad golfer. Every once in a while he makes a great play. Otherwise he’s just bad. I’ve never seen Pickett play. Can’t be worse than the statue.

Practice squad. No Mellott.

agreed. Time to move on after this short experiment. Let AOC heal and come back as the 3rd QB, but have Miller on speed dial to call up from the Practice Squad if he shows growth in practices.

Stone Forsythe is clear upgrade over Thayer Munford for Raiders
Stone Forsythe is a clear upgrade over Thayer Munford at swing tackle for the Las Vegas Raiders.
Didn't realize how poorly Munford played this preseason. Disappointing end to the former upstart's Raiders tenure. I sense he never recovered mentally from losing his status to Glaze last year.

Also hearing good/great reviews of Pegues and Tonka preseason. This draft was supposedly uber-deep at DL. Hopefully the Raiders found a couple mid-late gems with these hosses. On top of looking like legit defenders, it'll be hilarious to see @joey meltdown weeks when one or both of them vulture G/L TDs from Jeanty!

Meltdown might be overdoing it, but I will admit that I root for my fantasy teams to win more than the raiders after 2+ decades of this crap.

At least not early. Hope AJ and Bald Bowser buck that trend.

I have Jeanty in 2 leagues (1 redraft, 1 dynasty), Bowers in 1 dynasty league, Meyers in 2 or 3 leagues (mix of dynasty and redraft). 1 Bech in dynasty and 0 Thornton or Tre but blind bid is next week and they’re both out there, so we’ll see.It’s easier just not to draft any raiders…Meltdown might be overdoing it, but I will admit that I root for my fantasy teams to win more than the raiders after 2+ decades of this crap.

More raiders than I prefer but I’m in more leagues than I should be as well so..

Cuts were pretty easy this year.
I would probably prefer Munford over this Forsythe guy,. Wouldn't be surprised to see Munford stick around elsewhere as a swing tackle,but this is all part of the new coaches/their guys thing that we just gotta deal with. And I woulda liked to see Sincere stay, but he's not a special teams guy, and if the Raiders lost three RBs, they would sign a new guy anyhow, not like they would give Laube 20 carries.
But those are pretty minor quibbles.

Forsythe had some very ugly tape from last year. Hopefully he never sees the field.

No news, not resolved and no drama yet. Raiders said they aren't going to trade him and he's not holding out.

I see a path to 9 wins. I also see a path to 5 wins. Catching the chargers after going to Brazil might help a touch. Hope so.
Can they win an east coast start time. Man that would be nice! LFG. F the pats

Agreed.
I see the Pats as a similar team to us (lots of young players. Established/proven vet coaches). Main difference is they already have their young QB of the future while we just have a hopefully-solid-QB of the now.

Footballguy
Need to win week 1 to set the tone, if this team is hopes to make any noise this year. Pats have reloaded, but they are unseasoned, similar to the Raiders. This is definitely a winnable game. X factor will be stopping Trey Henderson IMO - Raiders of old would allow that dude to go for 200 all purpose and a couple scores in his NFL debut.

Couldn’t be happier about Cooper retiring.
I think I wrote this in the Amari thread, but I want our receiving corps to be the vet (Meyers) + 3 youngins (Tucker, Bech, Thornton) + our 2 excellent TEs. Let’s see how that plays out and sets us up for the future without having Cooper in the way.
Glad I got my wish.

There is a stat from last year that our ability to recover fumbles was the worst in 15 years. The regression to the mean suggests winning 2 extra games due to fumble recoveries going our way a tad more
Chaka
Footballguy
So...(checks maths) 22 wins this year?
DA RAIDERS

But do they get a comp pick?
kaso
Footballguy
We would have, but back to back WR signings that went onto retire is like multiplying by zero in the comp pick calculation.
LawFitz
Footballguy
No worries. Post June 1 signings don't count against the formula. Which other WR signing retired? Is Donte Thornton really that good?!?

O line was rough. Smith made some bad decisions but played mostly well. What’s up with bowers?
And hopefully the dolts partied in Brazil. Flew home dehydrated. And will be sluggish.
