Raiders Ghosted a Team at the Trade Deadline Prior to Cleaning House

Could see it having been the Lions with their need for a pass rusher and Maxx Crosby having talked about how he grew up a Lions fan and wanted to be drafted by them.

Also could have been teams trying to call about Renfrow, maybe even the Lions seeing as they ended up trading for another WR

Stories about the Raiders today have the locker room in a happy, "celebratory" mood.

Sounds like the players really hated McDaniels.

Same story in Denver. I tried to tell all the folks here that were begging for McD at the time that he was low key every bit the disaster in Denver that Lane Kiffin was in Oakland, the only difference was that the Raiders kept the drama in house and didn't air it to justify firing him with cause.

Also happened in Tampa with Gruden.

It's one of the reasons I was never on board with bringing him here.

    • Incorrect, I have watched us consistently over quite a number of years. When I say Cam relied on athleticism, I simply mean his dual threat style and athleticism overshadowed the deficiencies in the passing game (his own or those created by the system).  Now I wouldn’t disagree that our OCs over that time were not amazing and arguably held him back, but correct me if I’m wrong, Cam had a habit of locking onto his receivers and overthrowing them. Gettleman even drafted two big receivers - Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess - to give Cam receivers with a big catch radius.  Again, correct me if I’m wrong, but Cam had some mechanical issues. For example, the reliance on arm strength over touch and his footwork often led to him throwing off the back foot. There were many debates on these boards about his mechanics, with far more knowledgeable posters than I braking down what he needed to improve on. End of the day, I was as big a Cam fan as the next person, but he did have his shortcomings as a passer. Had he played under someone like Sean McVay or a similar offensive guru, with a high quality QB coach, then I’m sure they would have ironed out the kinks and he would have been far more dangerous and successful than he was. And that’s a scary thought of what he could have been under the likes of a McVay! 
    • It's true that we are not scoring at a much higher clip than the Saints. They're averaging ~18.4 with Shough and in that same span we're averaging ~19, so pretty close, despite Bryce having better TD numbers over that period. Both our teams are a far, far cry from the NFL average of 23.3...
    • I like when this big kat is going crazy panther fan and not the pat jersey betting against persona.
