No clue where to post some stuff not necessarily team related but could be? Feel free to delete if this belongs somewhere else.



Maxx and Parsons would be nasty. I probably wouldn’t pay the price though.

And almost every rumor will be made up, be it a fan or an "insider" just to stir the pot. The guy will literally be in a no win situation. I just hope we are improved enough to give the guy a shot at the playoffs soon so we get him at his best and not when he begins to break down.

Can’t disagree but he brought much of it on his own. He talks more than tweety bird on his podcasts and interviews which is 100% his right but with it comes consequences. I hope he has his best year ever personally

I could care less what the guys do and say off the field (excepting illegal crap) I just care what they do on the field. Too many people across the entertainment spectrum hang on every word a celeb says. You literally have people voting based on what some idiot says simply because we have so much more access to these vapid people and they are "famous." Hell, even McDonald's creates meals based on what a "celeb" ordered through the drive thru. I am personally very selective when it comes to podcasts and such.

"The relationship between Crosby and the Raiders reportedly deteriorated late last season because of the team's handling of his knee injury, and one wonders just how much Las Vegas was able to rebuild their chemistry in the months since it attempted to move him."

Well we've heard little for the Raiders other than they are happy to have him, Maxx has already said he's completely back in. So whatever he wasn't happy with, the Ravens sitch made him re-calibrate with the Raiders and that's all we know. That's the nagging pressure you get from the media, they're looking for something to latch onto.

Trade. His. Ass.

And I don't even give a f[raiders_icon]ck about the podcast nonsense.

JPJ for some reason gets a bad rap. Kolton Miller is above average also. I think Pete Carrols nepo shitlet made our O-line a lot worse than it actually is.

Duplicate

I had this very conversation with my dad a few weeks ago. He was railing against the political stances of a few artists and actors that he "used to like" and how they need to stay out of politics. I asked him if he still liked Neil Young, he does...It was a loaded question but Neil Young was extremely opinionated and those beliefs came out in his song writing. Agree or disagree, who cares, but make it about the music not the lyrics.

It's nothing new. I think people forget that at times in today's social media age where if Bono had a ham sandwich for lunch it's on blast.

Ashton Jeanty can be a f[raiders_icon]cking Leninist, Marxist, Progressive follower of Jobo for all I care.

Not sure why he would get a good one. So he has a meh rap?

At this stage in his career, Miller needs to prove he's above average this year. Burford is god awful and should be nowhere near the starting lineup. I do agree JPJ is better than this ranking though.

The only thing JPJ has proven in this league is that he's constantly injured and unavailable. In no world does he get a benefit of the doubt tag that some are more or less giving him. What makes him any better than Burford if he's not on the field? At least the "trash" player Burford or whatever clever nicknames people call him, is available and can contribute. That alone should rank him higher than someone standing on the sideline a majority of the year. Im not advocating that Burford is all pro but stop and use some common sense

Who the f[raiders_icon]ck cares if he can "contribute"? He's bad at football so what exactly is he contributing to? Hopefully that's not too clever for you.

I won't bag on him. He's been nothing but great for us. I wasn't shocked when he was traded. I wasn't upset that he was traded. It didn't go as planned so, we have him back. I really don't see a negative other than we lost out on two first round picks. He could still be traded and I'll be fine with it...as long as we get what we want. Until then.... I'm going to root for him to be great.

JPJ has shown more being dominated than being dominant. Hence the “bad rap” for a high draft choice.

JPJ's downfall has been mental and his availability. But to say he's a "definite below average talent" and "has been domintated" when he's on the field, is 100% false.

You want to see dominated? Look at Spencer Burford's tape.
