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.

    • New season new teams. Everyone we face has improved their team as well. There's now a full season of tape on Canales's offense and Bryce running it. When they win 7 games I will become a believer. 
    • I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can. 
    • My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.
