What is the point in starting Matt cassel? I just don't get it

 

[Ounceman]

Mariota look like shit on a stick out here

They gone destroy that kid starting him on that shit team ....that's the shit I be talking about

And thats exactly what i knew would happen. webster and whisenhunt took him like that would automatically make us a contender. no. far from it. they did little to address the shitty o-line from last season. levitre shouldve been cut a long time ago. that wouldve been addition by subtraction right there. and then inserting a rookie qb into that equation with no pro level experience is a recipe for disaster

Missed the game. Saw that MM turned it over twice smh. Just when I was begging to get a little excited about the kid.. How did DGB and Mcbride look?

I mean its only preseason but DGB looks like it was the right pick. he can create separation and he fights for the ball. mcbride was servicable. but the of all the rookies, the one who most fans will talk about is david cobb. if he keeps up that level of playing, he'll surpass sankey easily. in fact, both antonio andrews and david cobb looked better than sankey by a mile. at first i was using the o-line excuse of them not creating holes for him. but on one play, there was a wide open lane and this fool ran in the other direction straight into coverage. he has no RB vision whatsoever. looking more like a wasted pick

Fam Mariota got exposed a long time ago. You take away his 1st option and its over. Ohio State had 4 TO's that game and still mopped them up.

sounds like a young Chris Henry lol. That dude was clueless. I think by the end of the year Fowler will be getting the majority of looks as our premier power back. I'm not really sold on any of our backs tho. This is going to be a long year smh Wouldn't be opposed to trading for Chip Kelly this offseason. Just keep him out of the FO.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Man Kevin white gone for most of the season. Has a stress fracture and will have surgery smh

It's rare to see a quarterback given a free pass to the extent of Derek Carr's rookie season with the Raiders.

Carr's league-low 5.46 yards per pass attempt was the third-lowest figure in history for any quarterback with at least 500 pass attempts. He finished 28th out of 33 qualifiers in Total QBR.

When ESPN's Mike Sando polled 35 scouts, coaches and executives a couple of months ago, Carr ranked above Teddy Bridgewater and Blake Bortles as the preferred second-year quarterback.

Watch out-of-market games

When Around The NFL's Gregg Rosenthal studied Carr's film this offseason, he saw a quarterback who settled for dump-off passes, was hesitant to pull the trigger on open receivers and oversaw an offense that was "too often overwhelmed and barely operational."

Despite that lack of production, scouts were already lining up in early December to anoint Carr a better long-term prospect than Colin Kaepernick.

When ESPN's Mike Sando polled 35 scouts, coaches and executives a couple of months ago, Carr ranked above Teddy Bridgewater and Blake Bortles as the preferred second-year quarterback.

"He can spin it, he has good accuracy, he makes quick decisions," one defensive coordinator told Sando. "The people that like him but do not rank him higher, well, he has an awful supporting cast. No run game, awful receivers. They drafted some guys. They have a shot."

There's the rub.

Carr's improved weaponry was abundantly evident early in the Raiders' 18-3 preseason victory over the Rams.

Carr moved the offense up and down the field with help from rookie sensation Amari Cooper, veteran wideout Michael Crabtree and new starting running back Latavius Murray.

The most promising sign was an obvious intent to establish Cooper as the offensive focal point. The No. 4 overall pick in the draft touched the ball four times on the Raiders' first eight plays from scrimmage.

The boxscore might not be eye-catching, but the prominence of Cooper and the ability to move the ball into scoring territory counts as real progress for an offense that finished 31st in scoring and dead-last in yards last season.

Carr's entire team was terrible But he still managed 21 TD's to 12 int's

Vs

TB throwing 14 TD's to 12 int's

I think Carr will be ok now that he has some actual weapons

 

[Shizlansky]

I don't give a fuck.

Mr check down and was scared to throw to open WRs.

 

[Shizlansky]

I see the colts and New Orleans up there.

And still two of the best passing attacks in the game.

 

[Shizlansky]

Niggas getting geeked off preseason stats.

Raiders killed in many preseasons the last couple years and still was dog shit when the season started.

 

[Shizlansky]

Who Bridgewater to run the Rock and throw to.

Nobody dude makes plays and wins games.

Carr TDs came in garbage time. Facts.

And I bet more then half of them was less then 10 yards

 

[themadlionsfan]

I see the colts and New Orleans up there.

And still two of the best passing attacks in the game.

And one of those teams didnt make the playoffs...
