Releasing him would be really dumb. You can get at least a 2 for him

They did also release big Tommy Kelly and his 6 Mill......all 6' 6 325 of him.....You just never know...wondering aloud if McKenzie was the right man for the raider job....time will tell.

He's had trouble staying healthy. I doubt they get a 2nd for him. They need the cap room, that team needs to be gutted and rebuilt. I think the Raiders are being very smart this offseason. They will probably end up with the #1 or 2 pick next year, plus have decent cap room.

There were rumors that McKenzie was in the running for our GM job. From what I've seen so far, I'm glad he went to the Raiders.

Heard Kelly was a complete dog last season. Not sure what McKenzie is supposed to do...he inherited a team with a bad roster, bad contracts, and short on draft picks.

Point is well taken, Blood!! I cannot argue....do my darndest NOT to watch the Raiders :)  You have to make moves to change the culture...etc...

 

The only thing I have to go on is that we had  a roster whom NOBODY had heard of about 52 of the 90 initial spots.....I guess we could ask Grigs what did he do right?  Was he lucky...and McKenzie did not 'sort out the weeds' earlier.  We will take what Grigs has done and run with it!!!   :)

Would you give up a 1st and 3rd for McFadden? I don't think I'd be too mad about that. I know he's always injured but maybe a change in scenery would be good for him.

 

 

 

Good God...NO!!! How does a change of scenery solve injury issues?

If you hate the place you work and live it affects the way you go about things (training, nutrition, lifestyle).

 

 

 

I've never heard anything about McFadden hating Oakland. Just because fans make fun of Oakland don't mean the players hate it.

Have you ever been to Oakland? No one likes Oakland. I'm not even being extreme, it's a terrible city lol.

 

Mods,  forgive the temporary thread drift....   but....

 

I don't know how to break this to you....  by way of background,  my sister-in-law lives in Oakland and is trying to buy a home...

 

Oakland is the 2nd toughest real estate market in the COUNTRY right now...    serious.    Prices there are sky-rocketing and have been for more than a year.

 

So lots and lots of people clearly are trying as hard as humanly possible to get to Oakland....

 

You may not be one of them,   but many, many others are....    to each there own...  (love the pix of the dog!)

Oakland is still a dump. However, it is a dump that will probably experience a revival in which a lot of people make a lot of money on that real estate. The Bay area in general is one of my favorite places in America. I lived in the Seattle and the Puget Sound was wonderful. The Bay is equally wonderful.

It'll take many years before Oakland is fully revived. They've been doing that with downtown Los Angeles and it's taking an incredibly long time to clean it up. I haven't been to Seattle, but I've heard that it is much like SF but far more cleaner, which sounds amazing. I go to SF many times each year and quite frankly I'm a bit over it. It's just too expensive for what it is, just like Manhattan.

Sorry for the off topic post!

Hasn't spent much time in Oakland, but the Bay Area has to be one of best places to live in the US.

Right around the Coliseum is almost Detroit esque......really depressed.  I was always in Oakland for business and saw the ugly parts....there are some super areas outside of the city itself....houses are awesome.

 

I think Oakland is getting a bad rap for the inner city...not the actual city.

 

San Fran is awesome...just the traffic is a nightmare.....but then again...1-80 and 294 in Chicago not fun either..rush hour fro 2-630.  :)

      Ballard does have thick skin.  You just choose to not to see it that way.      Ballard is the face and voice of the franchise.  Irsay’s health does not make him an effective public face of the franchise.  Frank was OK, Steichen less so.   So Ballard does the lion share of teams PR.    And Ballard has always said he’d rather the fans be angry than be apathetic.  Shows they care.  Of course, you know this but choose not to acknowledge it because it undercuts your distorted view of CB.   I don’t know what CBs relationship is with Kevin Bowen who I like.   So let’s say it’s complicated.   But on balance I think Ballard has a good relationship with the local media.  I’d be surprised if he didn’t.  He is loved by national media.  He’s got a personality and a sense of humor.  I’m sorry you don’t care for it.    Of course you have yet to acknowledge that you and Moose literally said that Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy.   For a man in your profession, THAT is a whopper.  Why you thought that is a mystery?   By the way, hope you notice that at least twice I’ve now said you’re smarter than you show.  There’s a compliment in there somewhere if you let yourself see it.    But I think you’ve painted yourself into a corner.  You come across as someone who’d rather be right about Ballard being bad even if it means the Colts do poorly than be wrong and have the Colts do well.    The reason Irsay hasn’t fired Ballard for the teams record is because Irsay approved of what CB was doing in real time.   Believe what you want but Irsay has done the GM job himself so he knows how it goes.  And he has chosen to keep Ballard.  Unless you don’t like Irsay too, you might want to consider that.  Life is more fun being optimistic than negative.     Sorry this went so long.

      I think it’s backwards.  MPJ is definitely Reggie based on skill set and tendencies.  AD can become Marvin with his explosiveness.   Raimann - I think he’ll be Castonzo.  Ol reliable, underappreciated, majority won’t realize how good he was until he’s gone.   AD - if he becomes what we think he can, Ocho Cinco.  Cocky, competitive, but will perform his butt off and will dance every chance he gets lol   Jelani Woods - Jimmy Graham, fast for his size, walking mismatch.

      speaking of which, I’m about to win some good money.  I bet that brown would be FMVP, the Celtics would win the series, and it last at least 4 games.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By smittywerb · Posted

      more reason to believe that after the top 3 wide receivers, Latu was their guy.  To not accept an offer to move back ONLY 4 spots and gain a top 100 pick is hard to do.  Bet if the rams through in a second instead of a third we might’ve took it.   think about it, if you move back 4 spots you’d still have a shot at one of the two top corners or even Dallas turner.  And we said no thanks, we want Latu.
