He's back! Maxx Crosby merged superthread

[Corleone]

Tank is full speed ahead!

FWIW, I don't have an X account. Just info I get from other Raider fans so I pass some of it along.

Posting the basketball video was incredibly dumb and he should be traded.

I have a hard time believing most of what is on the internet anymore, unless of course, I can prove or disprove it. Most of it is nothing but click bait...For me, nothing seems real anymore.

This won't work in our favor:

Call me naive but do you really believe Crosby meant this as a f[raiders_icon]ck you to the Raiders? He played last week and has been practicing and working out.

He for sure was throwing us under the bus. Posting videos playing basketball immediately after being placed on IR was not a coincidence.

If that truly was his intent, the self proclaimed "team guy" is making it about him rather than understanding the bigger picture for what's best for the team.

It's discouraging to see one our captains behave this way. Just another dysfunctional chapter in a dysfunctional organization.

So you think the teams eliminating players like they are is not a tank? I mean I am the most staunch guy when it comes to teams tanking but this is so obviously a tank it is not even funny. Giants are doing the same thing. Chiefs feel like they are not really tanking but they are doing the whole 'live to fight another day" thing. But the Giants and Raiders are tanking. Or is the conspiracy theory bit a reference to something else?

When did the tank begin, preseason? Because they have looked pretty horrible all year, regardless of opponent

Yeah, wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if he’s already informally requested a trade.

I'm not sure what he's so upset about. He's going to require knee surgery in the offseason and the last two games are meaningless unless all he cares about is adding to his stats. It's not like his leadership is required for a team that was eliminated weeks ago and is playing out two meaningless games. I'm starting to get tired of his drama. If the team thinks it's for the best, why can't a player just put his personal agenda aside?

[LayneStaley]

I wonder if Maxx will celebrate or be even more pissed if we win today.

Being pissed at sitting when you’re clearly healthy enough to play doesn’t bother me at all. Guys like Crosby are driven and it goes against everything they believe in. Posting a video that is meant to make the team look bad does bother me.

[Steve007]

The video is annoying but I actually like having guys like Crosby leading the team. He hates losing so much that he doesn’t want to lose, ever. He really hates quitting. You can’t question his heart.

He was the 106th pick in his draft. He sees every game he gets to play as a gift. He doesn’t take plays off and plays and practices harder than anyone. I want other players seeing that. If they get lazy, hard workers like Crosby make them look bad.

When he came out and defended Antonio Pierce, the media wasn’t going to get on him for that and call him selfish, but I think that was worse than a video of him playing with his daughter.

[BoKnows81]

Remember, there are real life people that think Maxx was really hurt.

[Hellbound]

The defense looks the same without him as it did with him

[BG3428]

The most interesting part is he’s not on the sideline with his teammates. Looks like Bowers is.

Clearly he’s pissed or there was a decision/agreement.

[pfish57]

He should have been on the sideline cheering on his team mates instead of pouting at home like a 12 year old!
