[quote=heavyD post_id=1277944]First move of the new regime that I totally hate. Only positive is that it means they will draft a QB as Smith is close to being done.[/quote]We were going to get a vet QB regardless.

The positive is two-fold, 1. were not likely to be talking about a 5 year contract. 2. If we draft someone this year they can sit.

Guess we're waiting until 2026. This management team is obviously not going to lead us back to a winner.[/quote]Two absolutely dreadful FA moves so far (Geno & Cappa).

Isn't Pete Carroll the one who revived geno's career?

[raider_kin]

Gawd, we could have used that pick to strengthen our line or draft a running back.

[quote=RaiderandBulldog post_id=1277945]He’s better than Minshew and AOC,[/quote]They could have signed several UFA QB's for free that are better than Minshew and AOC. Raiders still have the worst starting QB in the division.

[quote=BoKnows81 post_id=1277939]The trade compensation is my main issue. Then his age and a new deal? This is as bad as the Cappa signing honestly. At this point, I wouldn't say he's much of an upgrade over O'Connell.

Please Lord no[/quote]He’s gonna be paired with Pete, if Pete’s here 3 years so will Geno and I’d expect the contract to reflect that. I am not a Geno guy but come on he’s better than AOC.

Brady signed off, right?

[SkullCrusher]

Obviously not sexy, but many have been touting Pete and Chip can work a QB into a workable offense.

Geno basically 4000 yards the past 3 years.
QB Rating 95.
71-36 TD-INT, first two years were great, last year was not.
He will run just enough to make it a threat.

I hope he didn't get way up there contract wise, but probably will.

Now we have a bridge QB "if" we draft a rook.

Right, we still have the worst QB in the AFC west most likely, giving Nix the benefit he won't regress. But still a QB that can be competitive, I think.

Totally can see people being let down, but there isn't a ton out there. What might have been out there is a prove it QB for less compensation all around. But 3 back to back to back 90+ Rating years in a row, is better than a prove it QB.

[LayneStaley]

Honest question for people freaking out, did you think 74 year old Pete was gonna just tank this year with AOC? Every single option after Stafford was shit, including this one.

Geno
Arod
Wilson
Fields
Darnold
Cousins
Jones

One was gonna be on the team, no way were we gonna roll with AOC and Jaxon Dart or whoever else people think the savior is.

[pfish57]

Surely they aren't stupid enough to give a 35 year old mediocre QB 40-45 Mil per

[heavyD]

I won't be surprised if AOC or a rookie QB is starting before the end of the season. Lots of Hawks fans in Western Canada and I'm getting trolled badly by them lol. They are stunned they got a 3rd round pick for Geno.

[raider_kin]

Guess Pete and Tom weren't the answer.

What's next? Gonna trade up for Sanders? Can I go bet my life savings on that, cuz that's whats coming' round the corner.

Pete wants to win now. What a shock.
