The Raiders

I honestly think, all bias aside(this coming from a guy who thinks we don't win more then 6 games this year), the Raiders are not really better then us.

On paper, we have better receivers then them, a more dynamic offensive play caller, CMC, a better QB.

Then on defense, our front 7 has had 3 out of our last top 2 round picks invested in it, Weatherly, Kawaan Short (Who hopefully will return to form in a new system), Shaq Thompson who has now stepped into Luke's shoes. 

Secondary is where we will struggle, the issue? The Raiders secondary is just as bad as ours.

Jon Gruden imo is not the coach he is all cracked up to be, 10 years $100 million, he's secure enough he's not under pressure to win this year (especially with no fans in their new stadium in LV this year), I don't see it being much of a difference in a coaching battle vs Rhule.

Panthers win this game. 

For anyone who will call me a homer, Tampa wins 56-17 next week, that's my prediction.

This is why we can't have nice things

    • I still think a Dalton thumb injury screwed us 2 seasons in a row.  It allowed the Bryce Young comeback after whoever finally gave a greenlight on being done w/ him 2 weeks into the season.  and I think we saw a soft benching this year and they wanted to see Andy run it with this crew.  But Andy hurting his thumb killed us from seeing whatever he has at full go in a game.  Bryce Young was never hurt those 2 games to the degree which called him to miss a game IMO.  You don't see QBs sit for such minor things....unless you just want to use it to explore and see. 
    • I was quite critical of Ron Rivera's game day coaching decisions and management over his years here. Especially when he coached super conservative playing not to lose. But at the end of the day he never had to try and win with a Bryce Young. John Fox had to try and win with a Bryce Young and he completely checked out and got himself fired. The only. Only solution right now. Is to remove the anchor around our necks from the equation and move forward however we can and assess all the moving parts with the time we have left so we can move forward accordingly in the offseason. Not doing so is only going to further delay evaluating what we have in this young roster and this staff led by Canales.
    • Sometimes GMs try outsmart everyone by picking a player they think has the physical tools and can be coached up but Legette is an example what happens when that doesn't work out. Teams that are already contenders with a full roster can take those chances. The Eagles, for example, could have rolled the dice on a guy like Legette. But the Panthers needed, and still need, to draft guys who are ready to play now in the first round. Legette wasn't that guy and there were much better options available.
