We just lost our two best players for underwhelming deals that they signed elsewhere, opening more holes on an already thin roster, and then went and signed a part time player from the Rams who's barely played at the position you project him at like he is an All Pro at it already. Yea, that's reason for optimism, lol.

I don't think Houston was all that great... I don't really care too much about him... But if that's all it costed to keep Veldy then we fucked up there....

Oh I'm not going anywhere....been a Raider fan longer than a lot of the posters here been breathing.....and I'll be one regardless of which inept knucklehead is running the show....but it's obvious that our loyalty will continue to be tested.
 
No two ways about it...this is a complete clusterfuck. I had absolutely no problem with what he has done the past two years and thought he had a lot more hits than misses. I also had no problem with his draft class last year. However, he overpaid for a lesser player...something I have said over and over again that you just can't do. He gave big money to an injury-prone bust at LT. Then he compounded that problem by bringing back McFadden for a year. What's next...resign Schillens?

The good news is that we aren't stuck with this for the next 20 years like we were when Al ran the show. Now that Mark has experience with being an owner and has had the chance to make more connections, I'm sure he'll hire the right guy next year.

Pretty much where I am. Given Mark's comments about the past two years, and his comment about getting an identity, these moves don't bode well for McKenzie. Nothing was improved. In fact, arguably the worst roster in the NFL just got worse at two positions (LT, and DE), and lost the better of its two running backs. So far, Red's shown he knows exactly who to let go. That run ends this year, since I'm betting he regrets the Veldheer and Houston moves. Not sure he has a clue (or cares) just how this is playing out with the fans, and the rest of the league. Players have to be wondering about this place.

Somehow, it's turned into an Al Davis bash? The hate he inspires among people who root for the organization he built is ridiculous.

The season hasn't started, the past two years were not good in any way, if they were we wouldn't be seeing so many excuses for them.

Reggie has the whole offseason to prove himself, but yes he's off to an asinine start. Just be ready to hold him accountable and stop using excuses to bright side it, especially Al Davis excuses.

I think most people felt the Al excuses ran out this year. More importantly, the owner feels that way. Red's gonna get heaping piles of shit for these moves. If he was right, than great, and we have a genius here, if he's wrong (and his drafted players shit the bed) he's gone, and will be an area scout for the CFL next year.
 
We should wait more time to judge Shrek, but thinking it over, maybe we better don't. I never liked him nor Mike. What the hell do they want to do with the roster is way out of my understanding. How could he let Jenny go? was he that expensive?

My strategy was all based in reinforcing the lines, period. We could go with our feature players from last year. Quasimodo is doing other stuff I want to understand. But I can't now. He just got rid of two of the most important core players we had. Sure he will get a replacement, but if you had solid players why kick their asses outa here?

Excuses are in the oven.

Al has never been responsible for any of this shit, despite the media narrative. As jerry McDonald has pointed out astutely many times over the years, teams have problems with the cap when they want to have problems with it. Reggie didn't want any of those players, bottom line, whether they were good or not. If he wanted to do that, he should have went and taken over the worst college program and recruited to his heart's content all of "his guys" because as I've said several times from when he fired Hue just because to when he allowed the Knapp rehire to other mind boggling decisions made, in the NFL you need to play the cards you're dealt and improve it. He walked into a team with an above average offensive core that Al Davis left him....that btw wasn't all that expensive because the bulk of the bad contracts had just been handed out on defense. He proceeded to allow the Knapp hire, which destroyed any of that continuity and worsened the long term outlook for players drafted for that scheme with that one move alone, and then went on to use that as his motto for why this team sucked the last couple of years. A year ago, that shit got the PR guy fired, and hopefully Reggie's not far behind this time. Bring Scott mcCloughan back to the Bay....I'm officially down with that as the only solution to this clusterfuck.
 
I had high hopes for this offseason... I figure I was due after having to deal with the clown show that is Jim Buss and Mike D'Andummy with the Lakers after having to suffer through Al's dementia decade and the crap that was Dodger ownership before the recent upgrade...

Not even upset, just disappointed... I'm hoping it turns around, but right now it feels like Reginald pulled the banana in the tailpipe trick ...
 
They had to resign McFadden because they fired Knapp to cater to him...terrible about JVD...as was Palmer and Wimberly...
 
Who has PFF and can give us some info on Saffold?

Was he really ranked as one of the top guards in the NFL last year when he played? I can't decipher the BS floating around right now. I was legitimately hoping we would pair this guy with JVD …. He is young and has major upside, with injuries being the problem.

Are the injuries bad?

FUCK YOU REGGIE… you could have signed both and Houston… He is gonna have to pull some magic to turn this offseaosn into something impressive.

What I've been saying all day. Lamar is an average player and I think the Bears will look back and think they overpaid. Veldheer? Cardinals may have gotten the steal of the year.
 
And now they say in NFLN the Jets and Raiders are interested in Michael Vick... Pryor could be an adequate backup for the same kind of scrambling shit.

Posty hardest hit.


I'm going to sit back tonight, have a scotch, and read through
this thread a few time.

Absolutely golden!
