He feels like the jeff fisher replacement, 98.7 % the same.....

Fisher has become a little underrated.  Was he bad in the 2010s?  Yes without question, the game passed him by.  But he took over an Oilers/Titans franchise that just lost Warren Moon.  He turned them around just like that.  Between 1999-2003 they were AFC heavyweights and finished with 11+ wins 4 times in 5 seasons.  He also has 2 more 10-win seasons on top of that.  Rivera has never had his team as consistently good as those early 2000s Titans were.

This feels like BS, they were 5th in offense with Taylor heinicke, Wentz and a questionable running game. If anything this is on Ron for pulling the trigger on Wentz. 

Uh, no they weren't.  They were 24th in the only offensive stat that matters:  scoring.

Their "questionable" running game was actually the offensive category they ranked highest in, at 12th.

Rivera has 3 winning seasons in 12 years as a HC. Great man but he needs to go back to being a DC 

He also has a career winning record, five playoff appearances (way more important than winning seasons), and no full season record worse than 6-10 (when he was fired here we were 5-7). The last season was the first time Washington hasn't had an outright losing season since 2016.

I get some of y'all have tunnel vision, but a team can do a lot worse than him as HC.

    • 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.
