i wasn't crazy about keyshawn. didn't like carr either.

i tried being optimistic about both, though.

currently really no one (though the barnidge pick kind of bothered me for a little bit but i feel good about it now).

who did u hate when we brougt them in? I feel like a dumbass but i hated the beason pick in the draft .... i didnt know who the hell he was. anyone else wanna come clean?

Honestly, Peppers because the of question of work ethic. Not to mention I don't like the 'Heels. I really wanted Quinton Jammer at the time.

Another was Ryan Kalil. I can't remember who the player was, but I REALLY wanted someone at that spot in the draft. I had no particular beef with Kalil himself though slightly undersized.

I didn't mind the Beason pick, but was sort of shocked that we picked another LB. It immediately hit me though, Morgan was on his way out.

Ditto on Keyshawn. I had hope for Carr, but that immediately went down the tubes when I saw him in a live game. Amazing how people can look good in practice when facing no live bullets.

didn't like key because he was a self centered punk and didn't like what he could bring to the lockerroom and didn't like carr because i thought he was shell shocked and overrated (which is why he got canned in houston).

what's the problem with that?

Only at the Huddle

I agree, only you could poo on an honest answer. Key was the first person I thought of, didn't like him before he got here and he didn't do anything to change that. But I'm sure you will be posting your unbiased opinion soon.

I thought Brayton was a total scrub when we got him. I didn't necessarily hate the move though. We needed help there and we got him for cheap. It's one of those moves that if it works, great. If not, oh well you didn't really lose anything.

He has exceeded my expectations to say the least. Just shows that anyone can look bad playing for the Raiders. Even Randy Moss looked mediocre playing there.

brayton was one of those guys i could go either way on. wasn't crazy about his lack of production but then i loved the nut cracker on jerramy stevens. i talked to a couple knowledgeable raiders fans who knew a lot about him and felt better about it. they said that he was misused quite a bit there.

i was sold, though, after that smitty/lucas fight. i stayed behind after training camp that day and eavesdropped on the team meeting where he was the first one to speak after fox spoke about how important it was to let it go and not hold any grudges towards either one because he saw first hand what that type of hostility inside the team could do to it.

Last year, I just about killed myself when they picked Stewart. I felt that they should have taken Branden Albert, but when they traded up for Jeff Otah, I was really excited. about a day after I really though about the Stewart pick and looked at some film on him, I realized that our backfield could be one of the best in the league.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay

      If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
