The Offical 2013 Oakland Raiders Season Thread
- Thread starter Meta4iCAL
- Start date
The Raiders have named Terrelle Pryor their starting quarterback for Week 17.
Pryor hasn't started a game since Week 10, but the Raiders want to get one more look at him heading into the offseason. Undrafted rookie Matt McGloin has been highly mediocre in Pryor's absence, though coach Dennis Allen considers McGloin "part of the organization going forward." Pryor started off with a bang this season, but regressed sharply, particularly after a knee injury limited his mobility.

^^^Does Von Miller's injury give him the same pleasure?
(Don't worry, I don't think the Raiders stand a chance, of course)

I would trade out of that spot. Pick up a late first round pick and an extra second round pick. Plus a third round one in. 2015

Terrelle Pryor's agent believes coach Dennis Allen wants Pryor to fail in his Week 17 start against the Broncos.
"I think they’re putting him in hopes that he fails," Jerome Stanley, Pryor's agent, said. "That’s what I think Coach is doing. I think they're putting him in hopes that he has a bad game, so [Allen] can then justify the Matt McGloin situation. I think that’s what’s going on, I do and it’s ridiculous." Stanley continued to make known his disgust for the situation: "His coach stumbled upon a gem, the find of the season in Terrelle Pryor. He stumbled upon him and then he botched the discovery. It was ridiculous, just ridiculous." He's not exactly helping his client, but Allen may not be around after Week 17. Pryor may not either, for that matter. Pryor will make his first start since Week 10.

thought this was funny
Raiders coach Dennis Allen called Terrelle Pryor's agent's allegation that he wants Pryor to fail in Sunday's start the "stupidest thing I've ever heard."
"This isn't the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Allen cracked. "This is football." Allen also insisted he wasn't holding the agent's remarks against Pryor. "This is a time where you have to separate player from agent." While the rep's comments were remarkably stupid, they should be a dead issue going forward. 2014 is the final year of Pryor's rookie contract

Terrelle Pryor apologized for his agent's inflammatory remarks Monday night.
Agent Jerome Stanley teed off on the Raiders Monday, saying the organization wants Pryor to fail in his Week 17 start and accusing coach Dennis Allen of botching the quarterback situation. He might have a point, but Pryor knows that going public isn't the way to roll. "I apologize for the recent comments toward the Raiders organization. That's not what I'm about," Pryor wrote on his Twitter page. "I'm thankful for this opportunity given to me by this great organization and the phenomenal fans."

I think the agent is right. At the end of the day, Allen is an idiot. He chose to go with an undrafted rookie, who sucks, for 6 weeks, most were mediocre. Hot Garbage. All you did was impede Pryor's development. Way to blow the season.

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Former All-Pro cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, who signed a five-year, $60 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011, will retire as a member of the Oakland Raiders after 11 years in the NFL.

Nnamdi Asomugha had a career-high eight interceptions with the Raiders in 2006. He's totaled just seven since.
The Raiders said Asomugha, 32, will announce his retirement officially at a news conference at team headquarters Friday.
Asomugha had his greatest success in the NFL with the Raiders, totaling 11 interceptions after being drafted in the first round out of California in 2003. He earned three Pro Bowl selections in eight seasons in Oakland and was a first-team All-Pro in 2008 and '10.
Asomugha struggled after joining Philadelphia as a high-profile free agent in 2011, a contract that paid him $25 million guaranteed. After two seasons with the Eagles, Asomugha played three games with San Francisco this season, making only two tackles, before being cut last month.
Oakland said Asomugha will be joined at his announcement Friday by legendary Raiders defensive backs Willie Brown, Lester Hayes and Charles Woodson.
