On to the Seahawks

[RaiderandBulldog]

The Raiders are facing an old AFC West rival and current NFC west team and the defending champion. Seattle Seahawks for the first time in Vegas. We will get another look at the Raiders vs a SB type team.

Here is another fun fact....I don't care

I am not worried about the win/loss column. I am all in on his development. I am not watching this game paying attention to the scoreboard. I am watching a player I was all in on this time last year. I want to see every spark and flaw and I want to see what he does after he is punched in the mouth.

And now, the season is not a mirage.

Fact: AOC is now the #2 QB. We do not have an emergency/#3 QB. No QB on the practice squad. They will have to remedy that at some point.

I don't think they had one on the practice squad so we will likely go out and get some spare part who was a cast off.

Good point. I would not add a 3rd QB to the roster, but adding Brandon Allen to the PS would be a solid move. He's a guy expected to end up as a QB coach, worked with McCoy in Tennessee last season, and with Kubiak in SF.

Spytek dialed up Vince Evans.

I wouldn't mind cam miller coming back

I will always believe Miller can play in this league, but he is not a system match for this team. Not that your third string needs to be that but it is always nice to match skill sets with your three QBs

[Marzan]

Isn't Jimmy Garoppolo available?

I'll show myself out.

[Attyla]

Just get Austin Reed in here, he is not a system fit either but he is probably the best available.

[vtraider]

Current available QBs

• Cooper Rush
• Jimmy Garoppolo
• Brandon Allen (Cincinnati Bengals practice squad)
• Josh Johnson (Cincinnati Bengals practice squad)
• Clayton Tune
• Chris Oladokun
• Bailey Zappe
• Austin Reed

[Amish Cabal]

We know the Raiders have a ton of problems, but QB wasn't one of them thanks to KC. I don't think it will be with 'Doza either, even as a rook. He'll make some mistakes, but I more anticipate screaming about the defense, like every week.

Fun fact....

Timing for Fernando Mendoza.

Cousins' departure means Mendoza will make his first start on Sunday, an exciting moment for the 4-5 Raiders and this year's No. 1 pick. The downside: The 23-year-old's debut comes against Mike Macdonald's Seahawks defense, notoriously difficult for young quarterbacks. Under Macdonald, Seattle is 11-2 against QBs age 24 or younger.

Sweet. Wouldnt have it any other way. Baptism by fire and the following games will feel easier as the game slows more and more for him.

[BoJacksonRules]

I can’t wait to see him move the chains with his feet when it looks like he’s about to be sacked. I’m sure he’s not on Cousins level for reading defenses yet, but his mobility will be refreshing.

First play on offense should be a designed run for Mendoza….

I can almost guarantee that the first play will be a handoff.
