Raider fans said the same shit about Ray-Ray. Terrible player, worst LB they had etc. He was actually very good in coverage for us last year. When he got hurt, it actually affected our ability to cover RBs, TEs etc. Some players just need new scenery.
Of all people, Raiders fans should know this. Rich Gannon was average at best for years and became an mvp caliber qb in his mid 30s with Oakland. Sometimes a new scheme, team etc makes a difference.
