Will the Raiders ever be good again?

I'm starting to feel sorry for these poor guys.

 

 

I remember being a kid and the Raiders used to actually be a good team. I remember them not having the best quarterbacks ever but they were still a reasonably good team with whatever under center.

 

Then i remember when Rich Gannon came along, and back in the days before he was remembered for throwing interceptions, he put up those monsters seasons from 2000, 2001, and of course 2002.

 

 

It's hard to believe the mighty have fallen. When you look back at these guys, they had some of the most amazing classic teams from the 70's, and in the 80's too they had some very good squads.

 

 

Will they ever be good again? All jokes aside about how Al Davis ran them into the ground. It feels like they are eternally cursed since 2002 and have become the doormat laughing stock of the league.

I hope they do become a good franchise again.  They've been really bad for really long, just like Cleveland and Buffalo.  I like Reggie Mackenzie, but I'm not sold on Dennis Allen.

 

I agree, they are one of those classic franchises that are fun to look into.

 

I feel the same about Cleveland, I actually have always had a soft spot for the Browns.

Gonna be tough with those beasts in Kansas City in their division!! :rock:

 

We all know the Broncos have little to no real longevity and are in win now mode with their fluffy passing game. The Chargers are forever doomed too.

That's what completely bewilders SW1 Jules. San Diego always has talent & they always go nowhere in the post season. I always wonder what the Chargers would have done if they had kept Drew Brees, let Philip Rivers go, & never fired HC Marty Schottenheimer.

      Practice Squad

      By Indianapolis-Colts-Fan · Posted

      The criteria is the Colts want to keep you but you’re a fringe player. It all comes down to how much the Colts like your nephew. He could surprise and if he does they may not want to put him on the PS out of fear of losing him to another team. The good thing is the Colts love their oline players, and will keep lower level draft picks/UDFA lineman over other positions. There’s quite a few later round guys the colts have kept on that have shown to be pretty good level guys with bright futures.    there’s not really any criteria for being signed to the PS other than they want to see how much better a guy can get over there.    most of the time, an older guy is either ineligible for the PS because of how many games he’s started, or it’s not worth it because you see what the guy is over what he can become (as he’s been in the league a while).   odds are the younger guy gets signed to the ps over the older guy.

      Remember all those years we watched Mannings fluttering passes downfield? 100 Int's even over his 1st 5 seasons. Not counting many Playoff interception disasters.  No flutters for AR ! Just less closing time for the D.

      I just read the article on Stampede Blue.  It’s an old clip of him dunking.     I’m pretty sure they told him not to do that during this time.  He did say he’d be throwing with the guys.

      Practice Squad

      I am always impressed with the knowledge on this forum so I thought I would ask a question about the practice squad as opposed to trying to figure it out on my own.   We have a UDFA Dalton Tucker on the OL (Guard Tackle) Currently listed as 3rd team behind Q and Stills. He is my nephew-in-law and a great young man. He is a good OL with a lot of flexibility or otherwise the Colts would not have signed him. However would be a very long shot to make the team at this time due to the returning player and two OL draft picks.  The question is how many OL do we normally keep on the Practice Squad and what are the criteria? In all my years of following the Colts have just not paid attention to the details. If it came down to Stills or Dalton for the PS is Stills or Pinter eligible and would you put a more veteran player on the PS or would you prefer a younger player assuming you thought he could develop? Pay-wise do all PS players get the same? I also understand that PS players attend home games on the sidelines and practice with the team since they are designated as practice squad. Any information is appreciated as I will be following this aspect a lot closer this fall.

      I thought he said he wasn’t going to play BB?  How old is that video?
