The official 2014 Raiders offseason thread
- Thread starter Defy
- Start date
Oh ok. See I don;t know Seattle as well as their fans do so I purposely started with "I could be wrong".. I don't have any stock in raiders I'm about the 9ers but I also like to keep an eye on Seattle haha I don't do the bragging shit because Last thing I want with a loss is some dude shovin it in my face because I wouldn't shut my mouth lol
Yeah
Good game oakland, I said the seahawks would blow out the raiders but was clearly wrong.

By the time OAK scored that 2nd TD, half the D starters were already pulled, including 3 of the 4 DLmen. The 3rd TD? Only Smith, Wagner, and Kam remained on the field. Sherm and Maxwell had already been pulled, as had ET. The first drive? Yeah that was all 1st teamers. Big deal! One drive! The score was 7-7 at that point and they pulled pretty much ALL the 1st team offense out outside of Turbin, Britt, and Okung.
Good luck this year Raiders...youre going to need it. And i dont mean that in a dick way, but its been a rough time for you guys and im tired of the 9ers being the king of the Bay. Do work.

so the dilemma is, our 2nd round draft pick is better than our man-titty havin veteran, and our 1 year of experience scrappy no vision starter from last year.
If hes the best, why not play him? Its clear as day, not only does he have the best arm, he has the best vision, and runs the offense the best.
Were not going to win the division regardless of whose our starting qb. I see it happening 2 ways; 1st way, we start schaub week 1 (if hes healthy). we let him attempt a comeback or whatever you want to call it. then when his ass is kicked, and he falls to injury or from the organization being fed up with losing, we put carr or mclovin in. best case scenario, carr doesnt get injured early on, and maybe gets some starting experience late in the season
2nd way, we start carr and gamble. best case scenario, we attempt to contend with teams in our division, and have something to look forward to on gameday. worse case scenario, carr gets injured and our outlook for the next season gets blurry. plus we have to down grade and start schaub or mclovin.

#1 defense missing a bunch of guys, sure. Like I said, not worried. Third pre season game usually is the most important and Seattle was up 31-0 at half against a more potent bears offense. Not sure what the point of raiders defense is since there was no Lynch and Wilson played one series (and scored a TD). If you're impressed by them stopping Jackson/Pryor and back up running backs that's cool

On Derek Carrs first TD drive he was 5/7 & converted two 3 & 10's. Entire LOB was on the field and went after Sherman twice.

I didn't want Carr to be the starter immediately...I wanted schuab to start when we acquired him, but it's evident that he does not have it anymore. Seeing mcgloin put up points made me want him to start. But it's clear as night and day that Carr is out best QB. He's ready and I like what I saw of him last night live
