Coaches and an organization cares if the player can contribute or not. This is not hard to comprehend. Trash or not, the player who is available will always be more valuable to the team than the player that's on the sideline and injured most of the timeBoKnows81 wrote: Sat Jul 04, 2026 7:51 am 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.
But you're the only one comparing the two. You're the one that got defensive over people telling the truth about Burford. I mean, you do realize both of JPJ's availability AND Burford being terrible at football can collectively both be problems for the team, right?Hellbound wrote: Sat Jul 04, 2026 8:52 am Coaches and an organization cares if the player can contribute or not.

Not defensive at all and I pointed out I wasn't advocating for Burford at all. The only thing I said was JPJ gets a pass and the only thing he's proven in the league is he can consistently be injured and unavailable. You came back with a "who the f[raiders_icon]ck cares if he's available" retort. The coaching staff and organization care. That's a fact, not an opinion. Again at no point did I say Burford was anything special but his mere availability is an advantage over JPJ.BoKnows81 wrote: Sat Jul 04, 2026 8:58 am But you're the only one comparing the two.

You made a passive aggressive post about people making clever nicknames for Burford and saying at least he's available. Did you not? And i am one of those people. Which is why i said you were comparing the two. Bc i actually agree with you about JPJ but all im saying is the dude has the talent and doesnt get dominated when he's on the field. And your comment regarding coaching cares, if that's the case then why is JPJ still here and likely plugged into a starter role? So no, its not simple comprehension as you say.Hellbound wrote: Sat Jul 04, 2026 10:05 am Not defensive at all and I pointed out I wasn't advocating for Burford at all.

We get it, you don't like half the players on the roster. No one has said they are all pros or anything of the sort. It's just the fact that if anyone disagrees with your opinion, you turn into an argument and will always have to have the last word. So with that, have a Happy 4th
The problem with so many of these "projections" is that they are very inconsistent and are essentially the varied opinions of people who have little if any actual experience. Really not much difference than two guys sitting at a bar debating football after downing 8 shots of Patron'.rich72 wrote: Fri Jul 03, 2026 7:02 pm 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.
Impossible. I was told there is a path for him to start here over the #1 overall pick.mstrbass2000 wrote: Sun Jul 05, 2026 6:46 am Raiders Aidan O'Connell

The Athletic’s Sam Warren believes “the door is open” for the Raiders to move Aidan O’Connell.
Yes, well, the door has been open for almost two years now. O’Connell, entering the final year of his rookie contract, played only in the Week 18 finale with Geno Smith hurt and Kenny Pickett self-combusting. It’s clear the front office doesn’t want much to do with him. He’s a plausible trade or release candidate at last cuts as the Raiders look likely to roll with Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza on the active roster. - Rivers McCown

For what? A conditional 7th? Or some other scab player?
Two firsts, they will be low first though to the Pats. Can't have everything.
Im happy to keep him, but if they are thinking of trading him then probably New England would be the way to go since JMD drafted him.
Was not expecting that response at all. Made me laugh. Well done.SkullCrusher wrote: Sun Jul 05, 2026 12:25 pm Two firsts, they will be low first though to the Pats. Can't have everything.
