...with these three statements.

- We have a better roster than we had two years ago

- Over the past two years, we have seen improvement from our coaching staff

- Our front office has us headed in the right direction

For each answer, explain why.

 

-Better in the long run, much younger with key guys locked up and I think less holes. But I don't think our roster from the end of this past season has us in as good of a position to win a Super Bowl as 2013's roster did.

 

-Don't think this can be answered considering the huge losses from 2013 to 2014 (Gross, Hardy, Captain, Ginn, Mitchell, etc.). In some areas there's definitely been improvement though and other areas probably not.

 

-Absolutely. DG could be the best GM in the league if he continues at this rate. Amazing amazing amazing drafts and solid FA for the most part considering our cap space, and show business instinct by not overpaying. Think we're in a perfect position for sustained success.

No. We can talk potential but big picture I don't think we can factually say it is better. Can't really say WR, RB, S, T, DE, etc are stronger now. We have better potential now at some spots but can't really ink us in as better.

No. Ron is what he is. He still has all his same positive and negatives

I think so....Dave appears to have things going the right direction. This offseason will tell us a lot more about him since he actually has some room and ability to make moves both acquiring and dealing with present guys

-Yes in terms of calendar. But we signed some great UFAs 2 years ago

-No. I think it's been more of the same. 

-I think so. We are nearly out of our cap issues and our draft picks are playing. But Gettleman's crucible will be retaining talent, not finding it.

so you mean compare the roster now to going into the 2013 season?

 

If so

 

1. I'd have to say no...Hardy obviously won't be back and he was one of our "elite" players, and although I'm high on Norwell and Remmers, I think our line was better 2 years ago with Gross.  WRs are probably a wash at this point, and our secondary as a whole is maybe slightly better today (maybe).  Not to mention Dwill and Tolbert still had something left in the tank 2 years ago...  (This is on a strictly one year evaluation basis, I think we have a lot more young potential on our roster now and I think we'll be in a better place 5 years from now because of it.)

 

2. Well...a year ago I would have said yes, but RR slipped back into a lot of his old bad habits last year (excessive conservatism, questionable game management, not using players correctly, not evaluating talent on the roster correctly).  Not saying I want RR gone, just that he hasn't improved as much as we all thought he did in 2013.  Also, Shula is still gonna Shula.  I guess we demoted Rodgers at least so that's an improvement

 

3. Well, even with 2 pessimistic answers I still have to say the FO has us moving in the right direction.  The majority of Gettleman's picks have contributed in some role, and we've made the playoffs 2 years in a row despite being limited to the "dollah store" in FA.  If you look at his philosophy of getting cheaper FA's for need and drafting for talent... that's how most of the best teams in the league are put together.  Now if we could only ditch Shula I'd feel even better about the FO being willing to shake things up...

I'm going to do it as of THIS POINT 2 years ago, which means Mike Mitchell, Dominique Hixon, Chase Blackburn, Ted Ginn, Melvin White, Star Lotulelei, Kawaan Short, A.J. Klein, etc. are not included.

 

1. Much Better on Defense Now. Slightly better on Offense then (mainly due to experience)

2. Yes. 2013 Ron Rivera learns to take "calculated gambles." 2014 Ron Rivera learns to trust GettleGod's pickups. Shula is still incompetent.

3. I feel much better about our future now than I did at this point in 2013.

 

But I am a half glass full kinda guy.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
