Just awful. I generally cheer for my favorite Bama graduates in the NFL but I despise the Cowboys. Hard choice.

he traded Mack and a second round pick for two first round picks...you be the judge. and yes, a Raiders fan since watching them win SB 15. heck i was a Raiders fan before i was a die hard Tide fan....
I personally think Gruden is the most overrated coach in the NFL. His win loss record progressively gets worse the longer he stays with a team. The Raiders were on the brink of being a solid playoff team and he has torn it apart and I would bet he won't make it 3 years before he is run off again.
must suck to be a Raiders fan right now. trading 2 of your best players, one in his prime and another who is about to be in his prime with a little patience. To the person who suspected Cooper got too big, no thats not it. The guy you are thinking of (david boston) IIRC was roiding and was a lot bigger than Cooper.
Raiders could potentially have three first round picks next year so I mean they could have Quinnen Williams, Nick Bosa, and Greedy Williams if they play their cards right.
Wonder what happens when Bosa gets to the final year of his rookie deal and takes the year off so doesn’t jeopardize his free agency
And two in 2020. Now that’s the draft likely to have a franchise changing QB in it[emoji4]

Amari should thank Gruden ! California income tax at Amari's income is 13.3%, Texas is Zero. This rate will only apply to home games ,away games are taxed in the state that the game is played in. Nice raise in anyone's book. BTW, what good is a great quarterback with out an O line and poor receivers?
Amari Cooper is an outstanding receiver and player, and I’m gonna get flamed mercilessly for this, but I’m not sure he’s tough enough to be the star he should be in the NFL.
Here’s why I say this:
In his rookie season, he either caught a pass or dropped one but was tackled by Pac-Man Jones. Jones laid on top of him, grinding him in the turf and running his mouth, and AC just laid there - no struggle to get up or get back in Jones’s face.
Since then, he’s had the “dropsies” way too often, and he’s better than that. If a WR ain’t tough, he ain’t nothing, and I’m just not sure AC is tough enough to be the star that he has the talent to be.
I’m anxiously waiting to see what happens in Dallas; maybe all he needed was a change of “culture”. I sure hope so because he’s always been one of my favorite Bama players.

He's a finesse guy.....always was.
He may have bulked up to offset the "fear" --
Not a shrink, but could be a valid analysis
Yeah I dont see that. He continued to have a great year that year and the following year. There were several key factors in his loss of production. Carr got hurt. And Amari got stayed hurt. And for some reason when Carr was out Amari had less drops. Weird that the 3 of the top 4 receivers with drops are/are from Oakland.
Because we don't have a thread to discuss guy's draft stock, figured I would just post this here:

I was hoping Quinnen and Irving would stick around another year but they are both playing at such a high level it probably won't happen.
Is the NFL the only league which condones getting rid of good players(tanking) to be a good thing? To me that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The raiders for example have no one left. And it shows. The mindset that its ok to lose is crazy.
Tanking doesn't really work in the NFL. NBA does it though and it kinda works.
