Meet the new faces of the Raiders next year.
 
Why does everyone pimp Petrino. According to most sources, he already turned down the Raider job. Why would he accept it now.

Leftwich & Petersen could very well happen however.

Still, Brady Quinn could energize Oakland. Something to really build around.
 
he turned it down for 2 reasons.

1. To let his son finish HS in the area.
2. He had made commitments to that incoming class.

He's fulfilled both.
 
I don't have any solid knowledge on Petrino, so I won't debate with you, but is there anything that leads us to believe that he's interested in the Raider job - should it become open that is?
 
I think he used that "son excuse" because if he used the I'm staying because "I made a promise to the 2006 recruits" then the 2007 recruits are going to want the same promise before they sign that letter of intent.

He was interested enough last year that he flew out to Alameda to interview in secret. Some reporters have said he would have taken the job if it was offered to him in January. But once word of the interview leaked his recruiting class panicked and so he gave Al a 24-hour window to make the offer. It didn't come so my belief is he called his recruits and told them he was staying.
 
I'm not getting my hopes up after this offseason. I'm thinking if Shell isn't back, we'll bring in another retread like Fassel.
 
Well if we are looking for a new coach, having the #1 overall pick will help recruit him. Im fucking happy as shit that Detroit won!!
 
Having the 1st pick of the 2nd round and also the 4th round (1st pick of day 2) could possibly be very beneficial on draft day. Teams are usually looking to trade up and catch some guy that is falling out of the 1st round or day 1.
 
We can only hope.

I'm not down with Leftwich so much, though.

Dude would get murdered here and I kind of want to start fresh.
 
We are going to have ALOT of options to add new talent this offseason. Cash for F.Agents, Draft picks. Moss and Porter to trade!
 
I don't want Leftwich here. I'd rather have Carr.
 
I want a list of three O-linemen that'll be joining us, then I'll get excited.

We Either Get Quinn Or Smith

Btw, I Think Rob Will Get Promoted

Get Smith & Rob Ryan promoted? That would make my day!

But I wish Smith would fall in the draft to the 2nd round so we could nab both Peterson & Smith :D
 
Peterson will make our team better the quickest. Quinn's going to take a few years and quite frankly I'm not willing to throw 3 MORE seasons under the bus for Quinn to develop. Peterson would be able to step in right away and help out.
 
When Troy Smith falls to Day 2, I'm going to giggle a little bit.
 
Steinbach will be a raider... call it a feeling in my bones

beyond him... ive no clue.
 
We should throw money at that guy until he cant refuse. Maybe he can bring his old buddy RG back to life.

The Chargers are in the first year with Rivers at the helm. Seem to be doing alright.

The quick fix mentality has to stop. Partly because it isn't working, and partly because it ain't true anymore.
