Wow geno smith to the raiders


 Share

Recommended Posts

This saves Carroll from drafting a rookie and basement dwelling for the next two seasons.  Everyone knows new coaching staff + rookie QB = suck.  Don't get me wrong, they ain't making the playoffs, but they will have a significantly better record than last year.

So the raiders talked to Sanders and said forget that let’s get Geno.  Is Sanders a late rounder / second rounder now?  I don’t think many if any teams want that baggage 

Two ways to look at it. Either the Raiders think that Ward and Sanders are gone by #6 or they've decided they don't want any part of the circus. And if the Raiders are bowing out of a circus? Wow.

The wild thing will be if they still draft Sanders at #6 after the trade for Geno because you KNOW they Sanders camp will be pushing to be the day one starter. It'll be a proper poo show. LOL

It seems weird to trade Gino before you know that you can sign Sam

They just released some key vets and seem to be in the process of trading Metcalf. Sure seems like they're just hitting the reset button. Signing Sam Darnold honestly doesn't make a lot of sense for them. My boy Sam Howell might be getting ready to get tossed into a raging dumpster fire. LOL

Howell starting would be a very obvious tank move.

It's strange for a HC to be down with a full tank in year two. I am skeptical about that.

I think maybe they recognized that Geno was basically a 10-15 ranked QB that was likely still going to command a significant price. The QB market has some interesting options too. Washed former greats(Rodgers, Wilson, Cousins), draft QB's that no one is super excited about and some potentially attractive reclaimation projects for the completely delusional(Darnold, Fields).

    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
    • He had the award until like the last 8 games. He sucked ass and flagg had 3 40 point games
