Raiders close `Mt. Davis’ _ capacity 53,200

By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, February 6th, 2013 at 3:57 pm in Oakland Raiders.

The Raiders announced Wednesday they will reduce capacity at O.co Coliseum by nearly 10,000 to 53,200 in 2013 and relocate approximately 4,850 fans from the east side high-rise structure known as “Mt. Davis.’’

Raiders CEO Amy Trask described the decision as a “tool’’ to insure games remain on local television as well as promote more of a community atmosphere.

Fans who paid $260 per season ticket on the east side structure will be moved to the west side third deck and their tickets will cost $250 this season _ or $10 per game including preseason games.

Fans near the 50-yard line in the third deck who were paying $610 per ticket will have their ticket prices cut to $250.

The Raiders had just one television blackout in eight regular-season games in 2012 with help from the NFL’s `85 percent’’ rule, which allowed them to declare a sellout (and give the NFL a bigger cut of the ticket sales) if 85 percent of their non-suite tickets were sold by Thursday.

The average regular-season attendance for the Raiders in 2012 was 54,217.

Trask said closing of the east structure would be made in lieu of the 85 percent rule. The club is also planning to eliminate other “tools’’ to achieve sellouts such as 2-for-1 ticket giveaways sponsored by companies such as Compass Media and Hawaiian Airlines.

The A’s have tarped off sections of the third deck since 2006, reducing capacity for baseball to the 34,000 range. The Jacksonville Jaguars have reduced capacity by approximately 10,000 in the same manner.

According to Trask, NFL rules state that once a club closes off a section, it cannot be re-opened for any games regardless of ticket demand _ even in the case of the postseason.

Trask said the Raiders are continuing to focus their energy for a new stadium on the current site and have been in talks with the city and county, with the next round of discussions coming next week.

    Moving forward can only truly begin when those that are guilty take responsibility for what they have done.
    True. Problem is they’re dead and gone. It’s a new era we’re living in.
    =============

    untrue sadly

    proof looks at the movie django wewre we are disrespeced with the n word by people that classify themselves as white. that comes form this year.

    look at the flase history movie about Betty Shabazz and Coretta King made by the lifetime channel.

    look at the history channel showing the egyptian dynasies as white and hannibal as white and the sumarians as white.

    These are all new programs.

    Look at the racist trash posted on this board by so called new people that classify them selves as white

    columbine killers were noted white supremacist

    the sihk temple shooter was a white supremacist

    derryl delmond and rice, killed james byrd a black man they are white supremacist

    mesrhle the killer of oscar grant

    zimmerman killer of Trayvonne Martin white supremacist.

    notice that all of these killers are YOUNG WHITE MEN!!!

    Pleases top with the lie that those that classify themselves as white are not responsible today.

    the obituary pages disagree with that take

  7. Plunk-It Says:

    Wow a post. Finally. I wonder what the record is between posts.

    Build a new stadium. Give us our own private urinals! Give us wider concourses! Build the stands so the fans are basically on top of the field. Don’t build the stands recessed back. Give the stadium a true home field advantage for the Raiders. A stadium that is almost impossible for a visiting team to win in.

  8. Mistic1 Tha Supavillain Says:

    back to football

    if they really want to sell tickets they will not be able to sell carson and dmac as the “dynamic duo” or as carson ‘validating the trade”

    as it was promoted last e yar by local media (medes)

    in fact rolling with Pryor once deemed as only wanted by the ‘radical members of the fan base” maybe a good way to create interest in ticket sales.

  9. J Hill Says:

    Certainly going to be interesting to see who this group tags as it’s face of the franchise.

    and here’s where ur argument becomes completely moronic.

    u think white people are white? HAHHAHAHHAHA!!!

    white people are very light brown. tan. beige. there are no “white” people.

    in fact, calling people black or white (or yellow) was made up by white racists, trying to paint africans as sinister, and themselves as pure.

    it’s a complete fallacy. it’s all just light or dark pigment.

    According to DNA studies, Humans originated from Africa.

    “Progress in DNA sequencing, specifically mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and then Y-chromosome DNA advanced the understanding of human origins.[27][28][29] Sequencing mtDNA and Y-DNA sampled from a wide range of indigenous populations revealed ancestral information relating to both male and female genetic heritage.[30] Aligned in genetic tree differences were interpreted as supportive of a recent single origin.[31] Analyses have shown a greater diversity of DNA patterns throughout Africa, consistent with the idea that Africa is the ancestral home of mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosomal Adam.[32] Out of Africa has gained support from research using female mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the male Y chromosome. After analysing genealogy trees constructed using 133 types of mtDNA, researchers concluded that all were descended from a female African progenitor, dubbed Mitochondrial Eve. Out of Africa is also supported by the fact that mitochondrial genetic diversity is highest among African populations.[33] A broad study of African genetic diversity, headed by Sarah Tishkoff, found the San people had the greatest genetic diversity among the 113 distinct populations sampled, making them one of 14 “ancestral population clusters”. The research also located the origin of modern human migration in south-western Africa, near the coastal border of Namibia and Angola.[34] The fossil evidence was insufficient for Richard Leakey to resolve this debate.[35] Studies of haplogroups in Y-chromosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA have largely supported a recent African origin.[36] Evidence from autosomal DNA also predominantly supports a Recent African origin. However evidence for archaic admixture in modern humans had been suggested by some studies.[37] Recent sequencing of Neanderthal[38] and Denisovan[39] genomes shows that some admixture occurred. Modern humans outside Africa have 2-4% Neanderthal alleles in their genome, and some Melanesians have an additional 4-6% of Denisovan alleles. These new results do not contradict the Out of Africa model, except in its strictest interpretation. After recovery from a genetic bottleneck that might be due to the Toba supervolcano catastrophe, a fairly small group left Africa and briefly interbred with Neanderthals, probably in the middle-east or even North Africa before their departure. Their still predominantly-African descendants spread to populate the world. A fraction in turn interbred with Denisovans, probably in south-east Asia, before populating Melanesia.[40] HLA haplotypes of Neanderthal and Denisova origin have been identified in modern Eurasian and Oceanian populations.[14]“- Wiki

    What a joke. This is being done exactly for the *opposite* reason of what Trask is spewing. They know the team will be horrible again in 2013 and this is really just a way for them to save money and take another step towards moving in 2014. Having the lowest seating capacity in the NFL, an ugly tarp on the stadium just adds fuel to the fire why Oakland cannot sustain this team.

    It’s just another F-you to the fans. Save money and provide more humiliation to local bay area Raider fans. Fits right in line with everything Mark has done since Al died – implosion of the team – Hue firing, DA joke hire, dump all Al players, make the team generic.

    Next thing they’ll be changing the team logo and colors. You wait, its happening.

    Raiders are gone when the lease is up after this season. If they can’t make LA happen, they will suck the Niners kneecaps and lease their stadium and change their names to the Golden State Sailors before its all over.

    Personally I preferred the Mt Davis seats between the 35yd lines *way better* than the end zone seats on the 2nd tier – season ticket holders with 50 yd line seats on the mountain are getting hosed having to move to crappier seats in the 2nd tier end zone and can only see one side of the field. Plus the view of the bay from Mt Davis was actually pretty sweet and the beer concession/bathrooms better (newer and usually not crowded). Granted the food up there sucked but who cares I’m stuffed from the tailgate anyway, I just want a fast beer and be able to piss when I want (need) it.

    I actually had some super fun times up there over the years it can get loud and roudy and you see the whole field. It was also nice to always get a cheap ticket last minute and go to *any* game and for like $20. The capacity is now 9000 seats less and the cheap seats are all 2nd tier endzone now. Say hello to worse views and higher after market prices.

    the romans ur referring to were not Catholics. they were heathens.

    it’s very simple. many gay men grow up Catholic and are afraid of their sexuality, thinking it a sin. so they go into the priesthood, knowing the can never live a married life, and hope to stay celibate. but their sexual desires take them over and they do things that are reprehensible.

    the Catholic Church should allow marriage and should not condemn homosexuality.

    Smith’s salary vs Barnes salary?

    If Cincy can’t afford Smith, can we?

  122. Raider O Says:

    Jake Long, OT, Dolphins. Age: 28.
    Jake Long has regressed just a bit over the past couple of years because of nagging injuries, but he’s still considered one of the better left tackles in football.

    Sebastian Vollmer, OT, Patriots. Age: 29.
    Sebastian Vollmer is arguably the top right tackle in football – but not when he has to go up against Cameron Wake.

    Andre Smith, OT, Bengals. Age: 26.
    Andre Smith has developed into one of the league’s premier right tackles. He was a dominant run-blocker and also excelled in pass protection. There’s still some concern that he could get lazy with a big contract, but he deserves the money based on how he’s played.

    Ryan Clady, OT, Broncos. Age: 26.
    Ryan Clady is not a very good run-blocker, but he surrendered just one sack in 2012. Of course, part of that is Peyton Manning releasing the ball quickly, but Clady was still very sound in protection.

    Will Beatty, OT, Giants. Age: 28.
    Will Beatty was heavily penalized in 2012, but otherwise served as an outstanding left tackle for Eli Manning.

    Phil Loadholt, OT, Vikings. Age: 27.
    Phil Loadholt was one of the most penalized linemen in the NFL this past season (11 penalties), but he made up for it with his powerful run-blocking and sound pass protection.

    Sam Baker, OT, Falcons. Age: 28.
    Sam Baker was deemed a bust prior to this season because of years of underachieving, but he actually played well in 2012. The difference was that he was finally over his back problems. Remember though that those things tend to linger and resurface.

    Branden Albert, OT, Chiefs. Age: 28.
    Branden Albert’s a solid left tackle when he’s in the lineup – he surrendered just one sack in 11 starts this year – but his issue is that he suffers from chronic back spasms. He can’t be counted on to play 16 games.

    Being “proud of your herritage”

    is not the problem. Being teid to a culture that governs societal norms and customs for your people is important. when a person has no connection to their own history that is where the problem come from.

    How else do you perceive your spiritual connection to the universe and the vast creation?

    Why is that that when ever a black man is “proud” it is such a problem for those that classify themselves as white?

    yet those that classify themselves as white want to celebrate ameriakkkan heritage

    4th of july, civil war, making heroes out of racist rapist and pedophiliac murderers like franklin jefferson washington columbus and so on?

    what is patriotism? why is that celebrated if heritage doesnt matter?

    it seems that it only fails to matter when it fails to encompass or include the caucasian or euro-centric world view.

  125. Raider O Says:

    Victor Cruz (RFA), WR, Giants. Age: 26.
    Victor Cruz proved that his amazing 2011 season was no fluke, catching 86 balls for 1,092 yards and 10 touchdowns this past year. He carried the receiving corps when Hakeem Nicks was out.

    Dwayne Bowe, WR, Chiefs. Age: 28.
    Dwayne Bowe is one of the most overrated players in the NFL. He consistently posts solid fantasy numbers, so people think he’s better than he really is. The box score doesn’t show that Bowe constantly drops passes and is responsible for interceptions. He’s a very good No. 2 wideout, but he’s too unreliable to be a top option.

    Mike Wallace, WR, Steelers. Age: 27.
    Mike Wallace is overrated. He has blazing speed, but he’s a horribly inefficient receiver. He dropped tons of passes and ranked near the bottom of the NFL in terms of catch percentage among starting wideouts.

    Greg Jennings, WR, Packers. Age: 29.
    Greg Jennings is a talented receiver, but he may be overvalued because he’s always worked with either Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers. Plus, he tends to get banged up quite frequently.

    Wes Welker, WR, Patriots. Age: 32.
    Wes Welker produces like crazy fantasy numbers, but he’s also one of the league’s most overrated players. There’s a reason why the Patriots wouldn’t show him the money. He drops lots of passes and is arguably a product of the system. He’s also about to enter his mid-30s. Still, he’s a highly effective slot receiver.

  126. walrushooker Says:

    Cap will be spent on keeping Bryant, Wheeler, Carter. I think they still dont have enough to make a big splash. Expect they’ll look for a couple more Wheeler\Carters out there. Cheap, short term contracts.

    Before the Raiders left for la, the seating was 54000 and change. Those were the days, couldnt get a ticket unless You knew someone, connections…….Im not concerned with this at ALL..Just hope Mark and Amy have a plan that doesnt mean LA….

    ———————————————-

    63000 is not the real problem. They would *easily* sell out the existing stadium with a winning team – even a *promising* 8-8 team. They did that in 2011 with Hue and 8-8. They are reducing the capacity because they know they will be terrible again – probably on purpose.

    With a losing, sorry-azz team with a retarded owner, ‘big dummy’ GM and a wanna-be golf pro for a head coach they might not sellout even at 54000 and that could be the ‘real goal’ of the franchise as Mark is begging to move to LA and can’t move fast enough.

    But LA is *not* a guarantee. LA might not even want the Raiders *at all*. Rumors are Anschutz (who would finance the stadium) would have to get majority ownership and might also require to completely rebrand the team to even consider it. They don’t want another gangbanger fiasco like last time that kept paying fans from going to the games.

    It happened to the Browns moving to Baltimore and the Oilers moving to Tennessee so there is recent precedent for this in the league.

    Tarping the stadium is just another kick in the balls to the local fans. At this point, anything is possible with this sorry azz franchise.

    I miss the old Raiders…

    Just sell the dam team to someone who can and wants to restore the Raiders to greatness – maybe like a Tiger Woods or Larry Ellison or even like a frikin Russian billionaire – someone who knows how to build and sustain a winner at all costs and knows how bad azzz the Raiders used to be and how they can be again.

  128. RaiderLen Says:

    We need LBs, CB, and WR help. Spend the FA $ there.
    ——————————————–
    Yep, we need ALL of that too. Shiiit.

    So many holes, so little money and picks.

    Hope Reggie is a smart shopper.

  129. Raider O Says:

    Sam Shields (RFA), Packers. Age: 25.
    Sam Shields missed some time with a high ankle sprain but otherwise enjoyed a stellar 2012 campaign in which he became a legitimate shutdown cornerback. If he keeps this up, he’ll be rich come Spring 2014 – if not sooner.

    Aqib Talib, CB, Patriots. Age: 27.
    Aqib Talib has No. 1 cornerback potential, but happens to be a major head case. Any team that’s even thinking about bringing him in needs a strong locker room.

    Keenan Lewis, CB, Steelers. Age: 27.
    Keenan Lewis played very well in his first season as a starter in 2012, surrendering a solid 52.7 completion percentage and just three touchdowns.

    Sean Smith, CB, Dolphins. Age: 26.
    Sean Smith started off the year on a strong note, but wasn’t very good in the final couple of months. Still, he’s a solid starting corner who deserves a nice contract.

    Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Eagles. Age: 27.
    DRC stands for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. It can also be short for “doesn’t really care.” Rodgers-Cromartie is a very talented cornerback, but he’s not all there mentally. He’s still young, so maybe he’ll get it together, but teams pursuing him this offseason should be careful.

    Chris Houston, CB, Lions. Age: 28.
    Chris Houston was torched on national television against the Falcons, but he was very solid otherwise in 2012. He surrendered just one touchdown excluding the Atlanta game.

    Leodis McKelvin, CB/KR, Bills. Age: 28.
    Leodis McKelvin held his own at cornerback this season in four starts, but he was most useful on special teams where he was one of the top return specialists in the NFL.

    Derek Cox, CB, Jaguars. Age: 26.
    Derek Cox would be ranked much higher if he were reliable. He’s a talented cornerback, but he’s missed 14 games in the past two seasons. The Jaguars have to be so frustrated with his inability to stay healthy.

    Cary Williams, CB, Ravens. Age: 28.
    Cary Williams had some rough outings in 2012, but mostly played solidly at corner for the Ravens, holding down the fort after Lardarius Webb was lost for the year.

    Brent Grimes, CB, Falcons. Age: 30.
    Brent Grimes would be ranked much higher if he weren’t coming off a torn Achilles’ tendon. He’ll be 30 in July, so it’ll be tough for him to bounce back.

    Apparently we have 17 UFA’s…how many of them do we want back, and at what price.

    do u even have a belief system kell?

  137. Raider O Says:

    Paul Kruger, DE/OLB, Ravens. Age: 27.
    Paul Kruger notched nine sacks during the regular season and then three more against the Colts in the playoffs. He also was solid in coverage.

    Philip Wheeler, OLB, Raiders. Age: 28.
    Philip Wheeler was one of the most improved players in the NFL this past season. He thrived in every aspect, including blitzing, and he’s earned a huge pay day this spring. And to think, the Raiders obtained him for a mere 1-year, $700,000 contract during the previous offseason.

    Daryl Smith, OLB, Jaguars. Age: 31.
    Daryl Smith has never received much attention from the media, but he’s been one of the top 4-3 outside linebackers in the NFL over the years. Unfortunately, he played in just two games this season because of a groin injury, and he’ll be 31 in March, so his skills are in the process of eroding.

    Connor Barwin, DE/OLB, Texans. Age: 26.
    Connor Barwin is coming off a very disappointing 2012 campaign. After registering 11.5 sacks in 2011, he managed just three this past season. He’s talented, so there’s a good chance this was just a fluky year.

    Shaun Phillips, DE/OLB, Chargers. Age: 32.
    Shaun Phillips recorded close to double-digit sacks and was stout in coverage this season, though he was a big liability against the run. He’ll be 32 in May, unfortunately.

    Thomas Howard, OLB, Bengals. Age: 30.
    Thomas Howard missed all but one game in 2012 with a torn ACL. It was impressive that Cincinnati’s defense still played well despite missing such a solid linebacker.

    Manny Lawson, OLB, Bengals. Age: 29.
    The Bengals asked Manny Lawson to rush the passer and stop the run, and he did that very well. He’s not good in coverage, however.

    Justin Durant, OLB, Lions. Age: 27.
    Justin Durant has been very solid in run support for the Lions over the past couple of years. He should be limited to two downs though because he’s not that good in coverage.

    Erin Henderson, OLB, Vikings. Age: 27.
    A quality run-defender, Erin Henderson should be limited to two downs because he can be exposed in coverage.

    Leroy Hill, OLB, Seahawks. Age: 30.
    Leroy Hill had a solid 2012 campaign as a two-down linebacker until late in the season when he dealt with a lingering hamstring injury.

  138. RaiderLen Says:

    J Hill Says:
    February 6th, 2013 at 5:27 pm
    Smith’s salary vs Barnes salary?

    If Cincy can’t afford Smith, can we?
    ———————————————–
    Barnes made 2 Mil last year. Brisiel is due 5 Mil in 2013.

    I don’t know what Smith will get, but If he signs a deal similar to the one E Winston got from KC last year, it would be 4 Mil.

  139. J Hill Says:

Belief in the Injil (the original Gospel of Jesus) is an important part of Islamic theology, although Muslims view the current Gospels as altered. The bond extends even further, with the Islamic Prophet Muhammad instructing Muslims to defend the Christian faith from aggressors after treaties of peace have been signed, such as in the document called the Achtiname of Muhammad. Islam and Christianity share the twin commandments of the paramount importance of loving God and loving one’s neighbor, although the interpretations of these statements differ between the two traditions, and, indeed, vary between all three Abrahamic religions.

    Josephus, a Jewish aristocrat turned politician, was recruited by the Romans during the first Jewish revolt to act as a mediator and write a historical record of events at the time. He records that Jesus was a wise man that did many wonderful works, and that many people – both Jews and Gentiles – followed after him. The Talmud, written by Jewish sources at the time, is (not surprisingly) unfriendly toward the founder of Christianity. The important point, however, is that Jewish sources do not deny that Jesus was a real historical figure — they only promote a different interpretation of of his conception.

    Cornelius Tacitus (c. A.D. 55-120)

    A Roman historian who lived through the reign of over a half-dozen Roman emperors1, Tacitus has been called “the greatest historian of ancient Rome. His most famous works are the Annals and the Histories. The Annals covers from 14 A.D. to approximately 68 A.D. (the death of Augustus up to the time of Nero), while Histories proceeds from 68 A.D. (Nero’s death) to 96 A.D. (the time of Domitian).

    Here is what Tacitus wrote concerning the history of Jesus, and the existence of Christians in Rome:

    “But not all the relief that could come from man, not all the bounties that the price could bestow, nor all the atonements which could be presented to the gods, availed to relieve Nero from the infamy of being believed to have ordered the conflagration, the fire of Rome. Hence to suppress the rumor, he falsely charged with the guilt, and punished with the most exquisite tortures, the persons commonly called Christians, who were hated for their enormities. Christus, the founder of the name, was put to death by Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea in the reign of Tiberius: but the pernicious superstition, repressed for a time, broke out again, not only through Judea, where the mischief originated, but through the city of Rome also.” (Annals XV, 44)1.

    Thallus

    Thallus, a Samaritan-born historian who lived and worked in Rome about 52 A.D., “wrote a history of the Eastern Mediterranean world from the Trojan was to his own time.” (Habernas, VECELJ, 93). Although the original writings of Thallus are lost to us, Julius Africanus, a Christian historian of the late second century (2221 A,D.), was familiar with them and quotes from them. One very interesting passage from Thallus relates to the darkness that enveloped the land at the time of Christ’s crucifixion. Julius Africanus writes as follows:

    “Thallus, in the third book of his histories, explains away this darkness as as an eclipse of the sun – unreasonably, as it seems to me (unreasonably, of course, because a solar eclipse could not take place at the time of the full moon, and it was at the season of the Paschal full moon that Christ died.” (Julius Africanus, Chronography, 18.1)

  214. dr_robert Says:

    Suetonius

    Another Roman historian, Suetonius, a court official under the emperor Hadrian, stated in his Life of Claudius (written about 120 A.D.) that Christians were expelled from Rome because of Christ (whom he calls Chrestus)::

    “As the Jews were making constant disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, he [Claudius] expelled them from Rome”. (Life of Claudius, 25:4)1

    Pliny the Younger

    C. Plinus Secundus, called Pliny the Younger to distinguish him from his uncle, was governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor about A.D. 112. He wrote to the emperor Trajan to seek advice on how to deal with the problem of Christians in his province. He recounted to Trajan in his letters that he had been killing so many, he was considering whether he should continue killing anyone who professed to be a Christian, or only certain ones. He explains that he made them bow down to statues of Trajan, and “curse Christ, which a genuine Christian cannot be induced to do.” In the same letter he say of the people who were being tried:

    “They affirmed, however, that the whole of their guilt, or their error, was, that they were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verse a hymn to Christ as to a god, and bound themselves to a solemn oath, not to do any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft, adultery, never to falsify their word, not to deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up.” (Epistles X, 96)

    Another secular authority, Phlegon, wrote a book entitled Chronicles, which was quoted by Julius Africanus. Like Thallus, Phiegon acknowledges that a darkness fell upon the land about the time of Christ’s death, and like Thallus he attributes this to a solar eclipse:

    “During the time of Tiberius Caesar an eclipse of the sun occurred during the full moon.” (Africanus, Chronography, 18.1)

    Mara Bar-Serapion

    In the British Museum we have the text of a letter written by a Mara Bar-Serapion to his son, encouraging him to pursue wisdom. This letter, written by this Syrian and probably Stoic philosopher, is dated about 70 A.D. He compares Socrates, Pythagoras and the King of the Jews (which by context points to Jesus):

    “What advantage did the Jews gain from executing their King? It was just after that that their kingdom was abolished.”

    Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus,

    His most important surviving work is a set of biographies of twelve successive Roman rulers, from Julius Caesar to Domitian…so you are saying that Christ lived during Crasars reign?

    Not so Cesar died 60 years before your Jesus guy was born…so again YOU LIED!

    I am not doing any research on the other people you posted because its obvious you were lying.

    I am done folks I hate liars!

    ***********

    Suetonius

    Another Roman historian, Suetonius, a court official under the emperor Hadrian, stated in his Life of Claudius (written about 120 A.D.) that Christians were expelled from Rome because of Christ (whom he calls Chrestus)::

    “As the Jews were making constant disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, he [Claudius] expelled them from Rome”. (Life of Claudius, 25:4)1

    In another of his works, Suetonius records the punishment that Christians were receiving in Rome during the time of Nero (64 A.D.):

    “Punishment by Nero was inflicted on the Christians, a class of men given to a new and mischievous superstition.” (Lives of the Caesars, 26.2)

    This “superstition” undoubtedly refers to the conviction by early Christians that Christ had been crucified and risen from the dead.

    Hey 666

    If you really have an open mind read Evidence that Demands a Verdict. It is one of the most heavily sourced books on the existence of Jesus and gets into textural criticism and goes back to orginal manuscript sources. It is an apologetics book but it is orignally sourced so you can not say it is a pack of lies.

    Bottom line you would have to have a screw loose to look at that evidence and think Jesus did not live in Palistine. The only people that deny this are people that are ignorant of the facts or people that distort. It is not even debatable among fully infomed people even athiests or agnostics that are intellectually honest.

    Looks like the Chiefs are making a hard push for Alex smith already. .ready to deal picks to NINERS for him.

    its crazy the niners have 14 NFL draft picks this year and they will probaly end up with 17.. Freaking crazy

    Pass on Bjorn Werner.. Scouts say he has already peaked. Damontre Moore is like another version of Matt Shaunnshey maybe a bit better.

    Raiders need PASS RUSHERS.. Explosive..pure pass rushers.

    DION JORDAN, MINGO should all be in the mix.

    My favorite with a huge, huge upside is ANSAH who dominated the senior bowl and being compared to JPP. Mocks drafts have him not getting anywhere out of the TOP TEN now.

    Its believed to be that the LIONS will either pick ANSAH or DEE MILLINER at 5 after they just cut KYLE Van Bosche.. and Avril might be gone in FA

    Walter football Charlie campbell has Ansah going 6th to the Browns.

    Dont forget a guy named Bruce Irvin was projected to go late 2nd round last year.. was just a pure speed rusher.. went 15th overall to seachickens and had 8 sacks.

    ANsah does more at 280 pounds.. can rush.. and play the run

    What’s your deal with Mistic? All day every day. I just found out some good news about the Raiders. In spite of Reg/DA dumbing down the seating to the lowest capacity in the entire NFL.

    IHOP is about to get behind the financing for a new stadium. I’m fckng pumped up about that. At least IHOP has some serious balls to step forward and bail out this organization.

  284. CDERaider Says:

    Reggie – pay attention.

    * Palmer – Demand (nicely) a pay cut and restructure to get salary in line with age/performance. He needs to be making more like Alex Smith money at this point – 8 mill a year or so, not 13 mill that’s insane he won’t get that anywhere else. He is rich beyond belief already – he doesn’t need money – he wants to win. We need money to get players to win with.

    * DMAC – Extend his contract to 2016 with 4 yr/20 million with escalators if he performs – add injury back-out clauses. Best deal he’s going to get in the NFL with his history. He’s still a baller in the right system.

    * DHB – release and don’t look back – he just can’t catch, or get open, or fight for the ball, or … Great guy, bad player. Not tradeable at 10 mill this year.

    * Kelly – release. His days sucking the Raider teet is over. If he wants to return at vet min – ok but I doubt it – he’s a Saint or Falcon next year.

    * Lechler – offer avg of top 10 punters money. If he won’t take it .. trade Seabass

    * Seabass – trade to the Niners for a low 3rd or 4th round pick. Plenty of avg kickers out there for cheap – 55+ yarders aint going to make any difference for the Raiders this year and Seabass is a FA next year and will be gone anyway in 2014 might as well find a long term replacement now.

    * McClain – release after June 1 – unless someone is stupid (er I mean willing) to trade for him before then. Rams? 6/7th rounder? Conditional 2014 pick?

    Sign
    —–

    * Bryant – 4 yr/20 mil – solid starter/rotational player – he’s a solid 2 down DE in 3-4 too

    * Wheeler – 4yr/14 mil – solid starter and leader on D not elite by any means

    * Shaughnasty – 4yr/12 mil – injuries and bad 2012 lowers value good for us we know he’s good

    * Meyers – 4yr/12 mil – Decent player. Good hands but *not elite* and he might have played bigger for his contract year – what about Gordon and Ausberry, I like them better so don’t offer big money for Meyers.

    * Mike Mitchell – 3 yr/6.5 mil – underrated IMO – solid backup, key ST player, hard worker, young.

    * Brandion Ross – 3 yr/6 mil – showed potential – versatile and can start on ST

    * Phillip Adams – 3 yr/6 mil – showed potential at CB and def got better – ST player

    * Kaelin Burnett – 3 yr/4 mil – decent backup and potential key ST player

    * Alex Parsons – 2 yr/3.5 mil – decent backup at C/OG lock up for a couple years

    * Andre Carter – 2 yr/3.5 mil – good vet came on strong last year has something left

    * Khalif Barnes – 1 yr min – good vet backup at both tackle spots

    * Cooper Carlisle – 1 yr min – good vet backup at both guard spots

    * Andre Carter – 1 yr min – good vet came on strong last year

    * Omar Gaither – 1 yr min – looked solid – can backup all LB spots and play ST

    * Hagan – 1 yr min – good player – may not make team with Ford back in mix

    * Matt Giordano – 1 yr min – good leader for offseason program – likely cut after preseason.

    * Joselio Hanson – 1 yr min – cut in preseason if he doesn’t get more consistent

    * Mike Goodson – 1 yr min – not sold on him – needs to play ST (Raiders need to add big back in offseason!) – might not make team

    * Jeremy Stewart – 1 yr min – can compete with Goodson to make team

    How can teams like the Niners have so many top players under contract and we have so few? Looking at the 2012 salary charts, the Niners were actually paying salaries well over the cap in 2012 by a significant margin by using the ‘carry over’ rule. They were able to carry over $30 million in unused cap from the previous year and pay salaries up to that amount without counting against the cap this year. The Raiders were able to carry over zip/nada and they also had $30 million in ‘dead money’. The Niners had less than $400k in dead money that counts against the cap.

    Talk about cap hell. The Raiders only paid like $78 million in *actual* salary while and the Niners paid like $120 million but the Raiders barely made the cap.

    I don’t think Al ever cared to understand the salary cap and def blew it up in his last years.

    We will still have significant dead money this season too but not as much. Don’t expect any big FA signings – there just isn’t the cap space.

    Gawd mystic,

    You’re setting yourself up for such a huge fall. You don’t know what you don’t know and if you knew it, you’d keep your mouth shut on the topic of race. I’ve read enough of your posts to know that you don’t know anything about what anthropology and evolutionary science and genomics’ studies, with all the new technology, has discovered in just the last 5 years. It’s the kind of stuff that’s political dynamite _only _because_ of_ people_ like you, people who won’t accept the empirical data, people who insist on pigeon-holing the individual into a class or group, in this case, a race. You’re not going to like the irrefutable data that describes and delineates those population groups. At that point, you’re going to be calling for people to talk only of individuals rather than their race. It shouldn’t matter, however. Logical, thinking people will want to use the date to improve the lives of everyone while people like you will run into the hills to ignore the findings instead of working to use the knowledge wisely.

    In the past, scientists have published their papers with their data, but the main-stream press doesn’t cover it because it’s all very technical and the implications of the findings are obscured, not purposely, but obscured nonetheless, by scientific jargon; however, now there’s a HUGE, I mean terrifically HUGE, larger than even the scientists could have ever imagined a few years year ago genomics project going on in China.

    Many of our top scientists have been invited by the Chinese to participate (and are).

    The Chinese super-computer labs are THE hot spot for determining many DNA sequencing answers and abnormalities. The ability to sequence 1,000′s of DNA samples in days is a quantum leap towards getting information. The current sampling of 1,000 high-intelligence individuals vs. average-Iintelligence and lower intelligence persons will generate information that is nothing if not revolutionary. Their tech has been generating so much data already, they are having problems finding storage space.

    We no longer need to look at gross anatomical brain structure by the use of autopsy or other radiological means to guess at what’s doing on … as ground-breaking as that was. We now have at our fingertips the ability to see and compare at the molecular level genetic differences. It’s astounding.

    The out-of-African populations evolved in a very different niche than the subSaharan populations. We know much of why there is a difference. Climate accounts for much of the evolutionary differences that occur between populations that evolved in the Northern Hemisphere versus those the remained in the equatorial and sub-equatorial regions. The latter had (and still have) pathogen loads that far exceed those living elsewhere, accounting for much of the genetic differences, particularly differences in the nervous system, and further, deleterious mutations are constant in polygenous societies where old men father children as we now know that older parents (yes, not just women, as you’ve heard, but men) pass on harmful mutations.

    YOU don’t know what you don’t know.

    If you wish to keep abreast of even a tiny bit of this, check out Steve Hsu’s blog and take a look at his blogroll. Or go to John Hawk’s blog or a myriad of others, but don’t keep sticking your head in the sand, my man. Oh, and try “The 10,000 Year Explosion,” by anthropologist Henry Harpending and physicist-turned anthropologist and evolutionary expert Greg Cochran.

    an Orthodox Jew told me that Jews and Muslims worship the same God.

    Christianity and Islam share a historical and traditional connection. The two faiths share a common origin in the Middle East[2] and Muslims consider Christians (and Jews) to be People of the Book. Belief in the Injil (the original Gospel of Jesus) is an important part of Islamic theology, although Muslims view the current Gospels as altered. The bond extends even further, with the Islamic Prophet Muhammad instructing Muslims to defend the Christian faith from aggressors after treaties of peace have been signed, such as in the document called the Achtiname of Muhammad. Islam and Christianity share the twin commandments of the paramount importance of loving God and loving one’s neighbor, although the interpretations of these statements differ between the two traditions, and, indeed, vary between all three Abrahamic religions.

    The term Allāh is derived from a contraction of the Arabic definite article al- “the” and ʾilāh “deity, god” to al-lāh meaning “the [sole] deity, God” (ὁ θεὸς μόνος, ho theos monos).[8] Cognates of the name “Allāh” exist in other Semitic languages, including Hebrew and Aramaic.[9] Biblical Hebrew mostly uses the plural form (but functional singular) Elohim. The corresponding Aramaic form is ʼĔlāhā ܐܠܗܐ in Biblical Aramaic and ʼAlâhâ ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ in Syriac as used by the Assyrian Church, both meaning simply “God”.[10] In the Sikh scriptures, Guru Granth Sahib, the term Allah (Punjabi: ਅਲਹੁ) is used 37 times.[11]

    Oh yeah! Its awesome watching all of the entitled niners fans crawl back into their stink holes crying about the refs and how they were the ‘better team’ even though they lost to the ravens twice. They were lucky to not have lost by 30 if not for a convenient 30 min ‘reset’ they got that no one can explain. Their ‘true’ colors came out, players, coaches and fans. The Niners organization project themselves to be one of the elite ‘good guy’ sophisticated teams but in fact – they are punks – their players are punks, their coach is a punk and I hope they don’t get back for another 20 years.

    At least the Raiders don’t hide behind what they are – or at least they never used to before Al died. We were what we said we were and we’ll spit on you and not say sorry. The Niners are a fraud.

    Your comprehension skills are either severely lacking, or your bias against God has caused you to ignore the painfully obvious.I’ll show you why:

    1)Cornelius Tacitus, lived from A.D. 55 to A.D. 120. He was a Roman historian and has been described as “the greatest historian of Rome, noted for his integrity and moral uprightness.”

    Tacitus would not have risked his entire career and profession by inventing a story or attesting to an obvious lie, when so many eyewitnesses of that time period between 20CE and 70CE, whose lives would have overlapped with both Jesus and Tacitus, would have still been alive.

    The truth is that Jesus and the early Christians had MANY enemies. Yet not ONE person of that Century or those that immediately followed ever asserted that Jesus didn’t exist. Yet we have a Raider blogger from the 21st century who is adamantly claiming that Jesus didn’t exist. Yeah that makes a lot of sense.(insert sarcasm please)

    1)Actual physical or DNA evidence of ANYONE or ANYTHING from 2000 years ago is extremely difficult to come by. Our knowledge of historical events comes almost entirely by writers or eyewitnesses of that time PERIOD. Notice I said time PERIOD, not exact day, month or year.

    If you dismiss what secular writers and historians write about Jesus, then you must also dismiss Greek historian Herodotus, as well as the written history about Julius Caeser, Charlemagne, and almost any other historical figure.

    Continue with your rant. But you make little sense. If you EQUALLY applied your criteria for accepting the authenticity of Jesus to every other historical figure, then history as we know it today, wouldn’t even exist.

    I would love the queefs to give a high pick and pick up that contract – hopefully buy the hype and give a 2nd/3rd rounder for him. We all know alex smith sucks – he was terrible for the first 6 years of his career – his success was only the result of the niners going to the running game – playing baller defense and going extra conservative – plus their division fell apart in 2011 so they were an illusion.

    Put Smith on the Queefs and its *feeding time* for the Raiders !! Great if it happens – they get stuck with a pud and his contract, plus Geno Smith likely won’t be picked #1 and we can use him for trade bait to trade down and get a bounty. I’m hoping for 4 picks in 1st 3 rounds! Starters at RT, CB, DT/NT, DE/OLB (not necessarily in that order).

    3) the origin of all colors has never been proven.

    4) caucasians aren’t white, and they don’t “lack color”. their pigmentation is just light. this is why ur theories are so stupid. their based on fallacies (colors of people).

    **********

    yeah. He was a man. the Messiah.

    A messiah is a saviour or liberator of a people in the Abrahamic religions.
    In the Hebrew Bible a messiah (or mashiach) is a king or High Priest traditionally anointed with holy anointing oil.[1] However, messiahs were not exclusively Jewish kings, as the Hebrew Bible refers to Cyrus the Great, king of Persia, as a messiah, for his decree to rebuild the Jerusalem Temple. The Jewish messiah is a leader anointed by God, physically descended from the Davidic line, who will rule the united tribes of Israel[2] and herald the Messianic Age[3] of global peace also known as the World to Come.
    The translation of the Hebrew word Mašíaḥ as Χριστός (Khristós) in the Greek Septuagint[4] became the accepted Christian designation and title of Jesus of Nazareth. Christians believe that prophecies in the Hebrew Bible (especially Isaiah) refer to a spiritual savior and believe Jesus to be that Messiah (Christ).
    Islamic tradition holds that Jesus, the son of Mary, was the promised Prophet and Masih (Messiah) sent to the Israelites, and that he will again return to Earth at the end of times, along with the Mahdi, and they will defeat Masih ad-Dajjal, the “false Messiah” or Antichrist.[5]

Well, this-a Mother Seton-now they could only prove-a three miracles. But the Pope-he just waved the fourth one. He just waved it! And do you know why? It’s-a because she was American. It’s all-a politics. We got-a some Italian-a people, they got-a forty, fifty, sixty miracles to their name. They can’t-a get in just cause they say there’s already too many Italian saints, and this woman comes along with-a three lousy miracles. I understand that-a two of them was-a card tricks.

    They can’t do something simple like widen the bridge or paint the stupid chain-link fence that covers it.

    It is beyond the City to think of zoning some restaurants or bars or something in the area! Even the tamale vendors and T-shirt sellers on the bridge have the SENSE to sell to the 50,000 plus people walking around.

    The closest thing that we have is a friggin Dennys 2 miles in the opposite direction of the BART station. I just don’t get the City officials.

    They are too busy spending money to hire “people” like ex-LAPD chief Bratton (who got hundreds of LAPD officers to clear-out homeless people from skid row to build hipster apartments and presided over the beating of protesters costing LA 15 million in liability).

    another missdick classic was dropped on us. according to him, the term “hue man” is an accepted term for “those with color”. so the human race is made up of “hue men” and white (non-hue) men.

    my fav thing about him is his apparent lack of ability to see what a contradiction it is that he bases his entire life on “race”, while stating that race is concept made up by a white man to divide people (which is true). so…….which is it? there is race or there isn’t?

    it’s kinda like his argument that stats don’t count for palmer, only wins and losses, but it’s the opposite for the new wavers like newton.

    da trinity–there all kinds of things going on between the religions but it’s true that they are connected.

    Christianity and Islam share a historical and traditional connection. The two faiths share a common origin in the Middle East[2] and Muslims consider Christians (and Jews) to be People of the Book. Belief in the Injil (the original Gospel of Jesus) is an important part of Islamic theology, although Muslims view the current Gospels as altered. The bond extends even further, with the Islamic Prophet Muhammad instructing Muslims to defend the Christian faith from aggressors after treaties of peace have been signed, such as in the document called the Achtiname of Muhammad. Islam and Christianity share the twin commandments of the paramount importance of loving God and loving one’s neighbor, although the interpretations of these statements differ between the two traditions, and, indeed, vary between all three Abrahamic religions.[3]
    Despite the similarities between the two faiths there are some major theological differences. Islam denies that God can be divided into a Trinity and consider this division of God’s Oneness to be a grave sin (Shirk). Muslims see Jesus as the last prophet sent to the Children of Israel and the Messiah (Masih) miraculously born of the Virgin Mary (Maryām), but do not believe that he is the Son of God or divine.

    Trade down and get rid a of a few players to rack up 8 or 9 draft picks get 4 or 5 free agents then find 4 or 5 UDFA worth keeping we might get there.

  538. Seymour Bush Says:

    Lynne, no one knows who you are and you are picking a [fight with me? this should be fun.

  539. Lynn From Snot Says:

    It’s not a coincidence on how many old timers here comment about how through the years Seymourbush/Oakglen/bsdetector/666 etc etc etc is the biggest cross poster ever.
    No one else comes close.
    And seeing some of your exchanges with a slew of “new” posters, I can see you continue to have long conversations with yourself.
    somethings never change, do they, Oakglen?

    Now? for consistency? Tell us how way back when oakglen just whooped everyone around.

    And for old times sake, we’ll all laugh at you again.

    Lynn is that what you have? The biggerst cross poster ever? You are a gutless POS. That is what is on the table. Prove you are not the biggest POS ever.

  543. Scourge Says:

    P-Tiger, thanks for the reference, I’ll see if I can borrow it locally.

    Thanks!

  544. papertiger418 Says:

    Seriously, 666, we gotta turnover this roster stat! Just bring in new faces and sever whacked-out contracts; we can’t get much worse after all :)

  545. Seymour Bush Says:

    Lynn when the troll is about to get its ass kicked., it starts crying cross poster, like that matters. What have YOU EVER brought to this blog, since no one remembers you? Other than being a POS?

    Exactly what I’m talking about.
    I notice very few of the old timers are here.
    ========================================

    I am an “old timer” and you are a piece of sh**”.
    ———————————————————
    True. You are. An old timer who is only rivaled by MR for handles. How many have you had now? 40? 50?

    Just glancing through yesterdays massive thread, at least 5 people refer to you as SeyGlen, and you reply to all. Only one who pushes you over the edge with calling you that is Mr. Brown, who’s always had your number.

    told you. some things never change. And you collapsing into a fetal position is something you do best.

  548. Seymour Bush Says:

    Lynn, you are off topic. The question is not what morons accuse me of, it’s WHAT HAVE YOU BROUGHT?

  549. Silverandblack666 Says:

    Also lets start a Who to keep thread:

    I will start with a couple of easy ones:

    Wheeler
    Bryant

    SnB, spot on!

  551. Seymour Bush Says:

    ====================================
    See? You even confuse yourself.
    First you say no one remembers me.
    Then you say they do remember me, but as a POS.

    Calm down, SeyGlen. Collect your thoughts.

    Don’t make it so easy to embarrass you.

    Others will probably laugh at you tomorrow for every stupid thing you say now.

    Hey, I know. Go switch handles, and have another handle call me a POS. See how that goes.

  553. Seymour Bush Says:

    So Lynn is hiding behind Jamista Clown?? Oh man, this is going to be rich!

    Let’s stick with what we know.

    I’ll repeat my comment, that you tried to slip by it.

    Numerous different posters call you SeyGlen.

    Do you deny that? Of course you don’t. You stupidly answer them.
    so, if you aren’t Oakglen, one of the sorriest meekest, whiniest jokes this board has ever know, why do so many call you that, and why do you answer to the name?

  559. Seymour Bush Says:

    What’s wrong Lynn. Snot kinda sucks right?

  560. Scourge Says:

    Many of the blog pillars want to use a first round draft pick on an OL- (even DL-) man. I disagree. That might be the way to go if you don’t have many gaps or weaknesses to fill (like if you have an already competitive team and have lots of cap space). I believe, with all the needs the Raiders have and the financial constraints they face, they (we) need to be frugal. Given that the team will be in this position for a few years, it would be best if they build a niche as a place for quality players to go to prove themselves at a decent (Raider-friendly) salary for a few years before moving on for more money.

  566. Seymour Bush Says:

    You are MR aren’t you Lynn?

  567. papertiger418 Says:

    666

    Are you talking draft or in general? I think CB us a lot like our WR unit; we’ve got some young potential and a serviceable vet or two but need a leader back there. I think I’d invert your list and work the trenches, go RT and DT before DE or CB.

    The vacancy at LB frightens me though; if we could break the bank I’d almost be willing to get a guy like Kruger, but we have no cap space and I’d rather get a viable DE and pray that Bilukidi miraculously steps up.

    Like you said, with so many holes where do we start? We also need a solid vet at WR:

    1.RT
    2.DE
    3.WR
    4.LB
    5.DT

  568. Seymour Bush Says:

    Lynn, you have nothing, you accuse others of nothing, what do yo have?

    In college they do that, but the Pro contracts are so large it would not make a difference.

    4th request for Seymour Bush to clear his name, and prove he’s not a cross poster.

    Many call you Oakglen, or SeyGlen. and you answer. For years you have answered.

    I missed your answer the last 4 times.
    Why do you continue to answer?

    We all know why. Just want to see if you can admit it.

  574. Seymour Bush Says:

    Wow. Looks like Lynn from Snots best “point” was you are some one else. Even tho a) there is no proof b) that is an idiotic statement and c) why would I be? and d) even if I was, who gives a flying f***?

  575. papertiger418 Says:

    @Scourge

    I just think we’d be tempting fate if we did anything besides trading back and drafting the BLA. With so many holes on the team, we need to build a core so if we trade back and get a shot at Warmack I say we jump on it. We may add a gem in the later rounds but I would not want to count on that.

    We definitely have to mitigate risk and not over pay players, but taking a 1st rounder in the teens wouldn’t be especially prohibitive. Again, Sparano should be able to snag us some talent.

    As I have said for five years on this blog, when an imbecile is losing an argument, she immediately goes for the “you cross post” card. OK. You lost an argument. No one cross posted. Who cares? No one else came to that argument. That is the dying words of a drowning moron.

  580. Lynn From Snot Says:

    You know, SeyGlen, I recall someone saying a really ignorant comment.
    How if russell ever did get cut, that he would be perfect for Holmgen, or Peyton Manning to mentor, and that if he did get cut, that is exactly what would happen.

    You wanted MY opinion?
    Ok. My opinion is who ever said this has to be about as bright as a brick.
    What do you think?

  581. Seymour Bush Says:

    Lynn everyone on the blog wants you to go back to whatever POS place you came from. You got your ass kicked. Time to go.

    Perfect. lol. Like taking candy from a baby, Oakglenn.

  584. Scourge Says:

    P-tiger, where I have a different perspective is use of the 1st round pick. I’d rather trade it for as many later (2nd picks or later mid-round) picks as we can get. The Gallery thing still bugs me. We may have misused Gallery and be partly responsible, but I’d like to avoid that mistake again. Yet, as you suggest, it’s a matter of considered risk.

    Something tells me if we cut Russell today Indy, New England or Denver would pick him up, let him sit for two years, watch him mature and then he would win 10+games a year for the next ten years

    ================================
    Now that is a riot, don’t you think, Seyglenn?
    Can you believe anyone made such a ridiculous statement? Any idea who would make a comment that ignorant?

  591. Scourge Says:

    P-Tiger, how much more do you think we’d pay for Warmack because he’s from Alabama compared to his approximate equivalent from elsewhere?

  592. Seymour Bush Says:

Russell would be PERFECT for someone like Holmgren, Bellichik, Peyton Manning, Andy Reid to mentor and let sit and mature. And that is exactly what would happen.

    Good morning Hwnrdr,

    I agree with you. It would be a stadium improvement if they tore it down. But it’s cheaper to just tarp it over.

  614. hwnrdr Says:

    Yup! I wonder if they are thinking that this is a guarantee that the games will be sold out every game? Because man…I have been to games where there were only 30k…

  615. guest123 Says:

    People saying “if you build it, they will come” are way offbase. People don’t flock to new stadiums because of the amenities of the venue. They go there to see a good show. The Raiders haven’t put on a good show in quite a while.

    I know most fans want the playoffs, championships, etc. But I think the people are just tired of going to games and miserably wallowing in their 3rd qtr beer. It’s emotionally draining, and a lot of people find excuses to go to do constructive things that don’t ruin their day.

    What the people want is a competitive team. Even if it comes with losing. Just compete. Don’t go out there and jog, finger point, play halfazz football. The 4-12 record hurt, but the non-competiveness is what keeps people away. It’s not the stadium. People gladly pay $$$ to sit on upside down 5 gallon buckets to see a winner.

  619. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I think every new NFL stadium sold out every game for the first couple years.

    If you build it, they will come……for awhile.

    Didn’t Cincy sell out like 7 years in a row with their new stadium? Then they made the playoffs and they stopped selling out, lol.

    Hardcore fans will go anywhere, but hardcore fans don’t make up 100% of fan attendance.

    You need to get Ned from corporate, and Cindy and Jackie to go. They don’t care about winning as much as a good time.

    Yep. Just ask the Miami Marlins.

  621. Just Fire Baby Says:

    AZ Cardinals have sold out every game since they built their new stadium, 7 years ago.

    I’ve been there. People buy tickets, hang out at the bars until halfway through the 1st quarter, and watch the end of the 4th quarter back at the same bars.

    Raiders not only need a new stadium, they need some entertainmnet outside said new stadium.

  622. guest123 Says:

    You need to get Ned from corporate, and Cindy and Jackie to go. They don’t care about winning as much as a good time.

    ^^^^^^^

    yes, but ned and cindee from accounting do notice when the stadium empties out. not much fun drinking beer and being the life of the party in a mausoleum. winning creates atmosphere that party people are looking for. people stampeding the exits is not a good time for anyone.

  623. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Miami Marlins went from 1.4 million to 2.2 million attendance with the new stadium, an increase of 55%.

    They lost 3 more games than the previous year.

    If you build it, they will come.

  624. Just Fire Baby Says:

    The shine of a new stadium will wear off after a couple of years, no doubt.

    But if the Raiders built a new stadium magically overnight, season tickets sales would double overnight as well.

  625. hwnrdr Says:

    With the releasing of Bradshaw and Canty yesterday…should we look at them?

  626. guest123 Says:

    I went to games back in the 70’s. The stadium was fairly new back then and the location and nearby surroundings was perfect for that generation. Today, the whole play, socially and architecturally is dated. Not to mention the security and lack of quality amenities around the stadium. It needs much more than just a stadium, but a master plan for a small city surrounding it complete with many transportation networks and secure points of entry. It needs to be for lack of a better word “disney-fied” to appeal to the family man. because that’s where the money is at.

    Again, look at the Bengals.

    They sold out every game for their new stadium for 6 years. 1 playoff berth.

    They stopped selling out in 2011 and into 2012, all the while they made the first back-to-back playoffs in team history.

    The park brought more people out than the wins did.

    Won’t be true everywhere, and probably wouldn’t be in Oakland (no way do we not sellout games in the middle of back to back playoff years) but the point remains.

  628. Just Fire Baby Says:

    The current site is perfect from a transportation standpoint, and seems like their is plenty of land to develop.

    Don’t know the inner-workings of it all, but unless you plan on moving to the ‘Burbs, that is about as much land and accesible transportation you are going to get in a big city.

  629. guest123 Says:

    But if the Raiders built a new stadium magically overnight, season tickets sales would double overnight as well.

    ********

    Not if they doubled the price. And even if it was a marginal increase, it wont be sustainable.

    here in Tampa, the one thing they got going for them is the heavy amount of northerner transplants that go to the games to see “their” team from up north. It fills the seats and is a huge part of the walkup attendance. Oakland doesn’t have that transplant population. It depends on locals, and in a small market. that’s a tough deal.

    I don’t need that sports bar, movie theatre cineplex either. But it’s absolutely needed to fill the stadium and keep the Raiders in Oakland. Seems like a luxury I know, but the new generation is all about convenience.

    This country I swear have become slaves to convenience. Nobody wants to rough it anymore. Everything has to be nice and sanitary and homogenous.

    all the renegades and salty types are not going to be catered to in that new stadium. might be a good thing, but it will be very different. different crowd altogether.

    It is ideal. But it needs to swallow up huge swaths of land. They need at least a couple of blocks of land in perimeter to create a landscape break so that the loading docks and warehouses aren’t the first thing you see coming out of the stadium. Kind of like what they do at front entrances of gated subdivisions.

    Miami Marlins went from 1.4 million to 2.2 million attendance with the new stadium, an increase of 55%.

    They lost 3 more games than the previous year.

    If you build it, they will come.

    ———————————————

    Most of that increase came in the first half of the season. It’s well known that attendance dropped off dramatically after the team failed to be competitive, started bleeding red ink, then had that July fire sale.

    The stadium was the worst first-year performer for attendance in MLB this century. The attendance fell WAY short of projections by over a half million. It also fell WAY short of the team attendance record set in 1993 by about 800K.

  645. guest123 Says:

    The NFL is not a Gov’t entity. They change the rules as they see fit to make the most money. They mess with the schedule and do flex scheduling to fit their ratings. If the need arises and it is playoff time, I don’t see the NFL holding the Raiders to 53K seating. With removable tarps, it’s an easy fix.

  649. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I think the inability to remove the tarps has everything to do with the NFL allowing now 53K to be called a “sellout” and some type of revenue deal associated with it.

    The term Allāh is derived from a contraction of the Arabic definite article al- “the” and ʾilāh “deity, god” to al-lāh meaning “the [sole] deity, God” (ὁ θεὸς μόνος, ho theos monos).[8] Cognates of the name “Allāh” exist in other Semitic languages, including Hebrew and Aramaic.[9] Biblical Hebrew mostly uses the plural form (but functional singular) Elohim. The corresponding Aramaic form is ʼĔlāhā ܐܠܗܐ in Biblical Aramaic and ʼAlâhâ ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ in Syriac as used by the Assyrian Church, both meaning simply “God”.[10] In the Sikh scriptures, Guru Granth Sahib, the term Allah (Punjabi: ਅਲਹੁ) is used 37 times.[11]

    Doesn’t seem like rocket science.

    You can host all kinds of events there, and bring outside people into Oakland, and with even some half-azzed “city complex” with a PeiWei, Yardhouse, Chili’s and a high-end pizza joint you get them to spend their dinero.

    Gonna be hard to figure draft possibles without knowing how management feels about the club and the direction they are headed.

    Mostly questions about the D scheme, and the run blocking system and third but just as important is CP/TP.

    For all we know neither of those guys have a future beyond next year if that. If on the other hand, Reg/DA like TP and plan on him being the QB of the future then that solves many a problem.

    I went to games back in the 70’s. The stadium was fairly new back then and the location and nearby surroundings was perfect for that generation. Today, the whole play, socially and architecturally is dated. Not to mention the security and lack of quality amenities around the stadium. It needs much more than just a stadium, but a master plan for a small city surrounding it complete with many transportation networks and secure points of entry. It needs to be for lack of a better word “disney-fied” to appeal to the family man. because that’s where the money is at.

    ++++++++++++++++++

    You go to any NFL stadium, save Dallas, and you are going to see the same stuff….a shop where you can buy the team’s gear, lots of concrete, very uncomfortable chairs, food vendors that repeat every 75 feet in the concourse, and that is about it. I have been to the coliseum and there isn’t much difference between the new mile high and the coliseum.

    Bad food, cold concrete, uncomfortable seats….and very little as far as fun places to go near the stadium.

    There is a couple giant screens at the new mile high, and I am sure the luxury boxes are much better, but for general admittance, one stadium is about like the other.

    A billion dollar stadium or anywhere near that? That if nucking futs!

    Let’s hope he is….just not for the Raiders. Let KC make that gamble. Geno might turn out to be good, but based on the few games I have seen him in, there are a lot of short throws, and long runs after the catch that seem to pad his considerable stats.

    Can he make good deep NFL throws?

  676. RaidingTexas Says:

    Cowboys Stadium may be a little easier on the eyes and backside, but it’s definitely a LOT harder on the pocketbook.

    Minimum $60 to park. No public transportation. Jerry Jones used his muscle to keep the DART rail as far away as possible. Park at the Walmart across the street? $200+ to get your car out of impound.

    And a frozen WINE-BASED margarita sets you back double digit dollars. Same with crap beers like Bud and Miller.

    That’s why a no frills stadium would be the envy of 31 other teams. No nonsense like heated/airconditioned boxes for the elite.

    Cut out those and concentrate on great seats for everyone. Maybe 50,000 seats at the most. Easy access for food, beer and peerooms.

    Design for easy entry and evac from stadium to bars, eateries, other stuff to do before and after the game. I am sure some inventive minds can come up with stuff.

    But the NFL needs to cooperate and shorten the darn games to under three hours. Commercials have got way out of hand. The only people who want the games to last over 4 hours are the sponsers and maybe the people partying it up in the lux boxes but they arrive late and leave early anyway

    Come to think of it, shorten the season by eliminating a preseason game or two and the bye week and the SB break week.

    Add more players to the roster to make up for the bye week

    Good Morning Raider Nation….

    The removal of Mt. Davis is just bringing us closer to Los Angeles or Santa Clara!! The proof is in the pudding!!

    I doubt Oakland is willing to spend $$$ on a new stadium, Hayward, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon and Dublin I highly doubt it!!

    This is from some guy named Wes on another comment board:

    “Pull your heads out, look around, and notice that long term, California is not conducive to operating a billion dollar business. Its bad and will only get worse! Get ahead of the curve and move to Las Vegas. There is no downside. No income tax will attract free agents, there is a built-in attraction for players and fans. LA isn’t viable any longer; its just a bigger sink hole than Oakland The Raiders would sellout general admission and luxury boxes the instant the move announced.”

    That is the kind of out of the box smart thinking the Raiders need to do!!!!! The Raiders perhaps as much as any NFL teams is “international” with its fan base and a spot like Vegas would make it fun for all us Qakland expatriots to have a place to come watch games. Imagine what it would do for LV with all the people from So Cal coming up for games! Not saying this is going to happen but for the Raiders to become relevant again it may take something like this.

    When I think of the Raiders I think of a fan base like Manchester United or Green Bay or the LA Lakers that have fans spread out all over the place. A spot in Vegas would be ideal and there are Hotel Owners that would jump at this just to be able to have a hotel next to that venue and they could upgrade the Vegas Bowl as well.

    D12 needs to toughen up

    Kobe ripped him, you think he will listen?

    703.Marks hair Says:
    February 7th, 2013 at 8:14 am
    and if he could learn the simple fundamental of keeping the ball tucked up I near his chin instead of bringing it down where point guards can grab and rip at his arms D12 wouldn’t get hurt over and over.. he would cut about 4 tournovers a game as well.. terrible fundamentals

    +++++++++++++++++

    I hope he will listen. It is being reported that it is just an issue of pain, it can’t get worse, it will need surgery to fix in the offseason…..so he needs to man up and play.

    As to the fundamentals…..absolutely right….the difference between Bynum and Dwight offensively are many, but the big one was Bynum’s ability to catch the ball and go up immediately to the rim without having to pretend he is a PG and dribbling the ball.

    I have been staggered by the amount of turnovers that occur whenever the players try and get Dwight the ball….some of it is on entry passes, and that is not his fault, but so many time he is stripped, or dribbles the ball off his foot. Pathetic for a guy who wants to be considered an all-time great.

    Give Bynum healthy knees and he would be much better than Dwight. And now Dwight is becoming injury prone too….not sure if he is a guy you can give a max contract too and then win with. Factor in his child-like attitude and the accompanying drama….cap space might be a better fit for the Lakers than having Dwight around.

    In the end we really only gave up an equally mercurial center with injury problems of his own, who also does not deserve a max contract, so it will not be devastating if Howard leaves this summer. Kobe’s chances of winning another title would be over, but we could just watch him jack up 50 shots per game next year and then hope we could sign LeBron and Love in 2014.

    If DHB refuses a pay cut and we part ways, think about how many years we have been a washout in the first round?

    ===============

    Yeah, but I don’t see him as the “Wimbley” type. I know DHB is a proud man, but you gotta think that he knows where he stands, and no other team is gonna be throwing money at him. He’d be like that 16 year old kid trying to get emancipated from his adopted parents……. He won’t make it on his own. He’ll make the most money and get the most opportunity right here in Oakland.

    Or he could end up in Baltimore alongside former college teammate Torrey Smith, since they probably don’t want to pay Boldin his expected $6M tag. Ozzie Newsome loved DHB back in the day. I could see this happen. A homecoming for DHB at a discount. win-win

    I thought about it but I wonder about injury concerns as well as what his asking price would be.

    If he was reasonable in his demands I would sign him as well.

    If DMC had someone like Bradshaw to split the touches with, they might both prolong their longevity. Heck, DMC might even be better as the change-up back for Bradshaw. We always have Reece as an insurance policy.

    The biggest draw for people to go to the games in most markets is the tailgate experience anyways.
    ================

    It is, and in Oakland the experience declines every year as they separate the parking lot more and more. It is now almost impossible to meet up with friends without staging a meeting place outside the stadium.

    Told my ticket rep today I’m out after 15 years. At least it looks like games will be on TV.

  736. DutchRaider77 Says:

    Bradshaw?
    Kinda scary signing Vet backs, they go from elite to done very quickly…

  737. Raideraholic (AKAHairyBush) Says:

    This whole “tarp” ordeal should not be taken lightly.
    I believe it represents a lot more than just some covered seats.

    I truly feel bad for the diehards-myself included.

    This once proud franchise is spinning out of control with no solid leadership in many key positions.

    I’m going to give Big Reg some time but some of the other clowns are going to set us back Jamarcus style.

  738. Plunketthead Says:

    Vegas will not support a pro team. If the NFL were agreeable the team would have to market to whoever is coming to Vegas that week.

    Watch your hometown team play the Vegas Raiders and take your Vegas trip same time.

    I think Vegas is worse off then Oakland. There no industry and nothing but cactus and lizards in every direction for hundreds of miles.

  753. Scourge Says:

    I think the NFL should start an ironman football league in which every NFL team has an ironman team using the same name as the regular team does. When the regular Raiders are playing in Sandy Eggo, the ironman teams would play in Oakland later in the day. Or move the ironman league games to the spring. No regular NFL player gets to play on ironman team and vice versa. The next year ironmen who prove themselves can move to regular team of same name.

  754. Raider O Says:

    -Bowe drops a lot of passes and he will demand a huge salary.
    -Talib was traded from TB to the Pats because of his attitude, so I doubt our GM and Titty monkey are interested.

    Why hasn’t Steve reported the upcoming IHOP buy out of the Raiders? And the new stadium. This is huge beyond huge news. WTF

  764. shutdown Says:

    The problem for any sports team is to create enough of an entertainment experience to create new generations of fans.

    Both the 49ers and the Raiders have had a whole series of lean years until last year for the Niners. The Raiders had a higher mountain to climb considering their abandonment of their original fan base, their years of chosen exile in LA while the Niners found excellence yet to be matched. The Raiders return to the Bay Area was marred by the horrible personal seat licenses and Al Davis’ constant moaning about adding seats when he should have concentrated on building sustained excellence that would have led to a new stadium, the building of the ugly Mt. Davis that destroyed the Col. for A’s fans, many of whom were part of the Raider fan base, and on and on.

    How many toddlers got Xmas presents with Raider gear as opposed to Niner gear?

    A two team market can definitely work, but the Raiders and Oakland have to get their stuff together FAST.

    As a fan, if there really were a community, as many here have suggested, like Danville, that wouldn’t fight the Raiders settling on land near there, I say go there and go as fast as possible. Your fan base is largely located in Alameda and CCCounties.

  784. guest123 Says:

    Interesting comment on the state of two sport franchises and the decay of the fanbase. I agree with most of it, but it makes no sense to go back and bash Al Davis now. What’s done is done. I don’t think the township of Danville want the Raider circus in their backyard either. The cons far outweigh the pros.

    The solution is right there in a huge tract of land around the OA coliseum. Land isn’t an issue. Only the money is an issue. But a smart investor would work with the city to get as much support and $$ possible as a joint venture. Still makes the most sense in the world to stay right there in Oakland.

    But when IHOP buys out the Raiders and spends money on decent FAs and finances a new stadium, you probably won’t feel that way. You’ll turn into a loyal IHOP supporter, like me. I’m thankful for what IHOP is going to do for my beloved team. Nobody else is or has.

    Same with Huff.

    Same with Branch.

    If your point is that this is a passing league, and DE’s are so important, then logic dictates that OT’s are still pretty damned important too lol. If everyone is coming after your QB, and you are passing way more than you are throwing don’t you think a good LT is important?

    JV is okay at LT, Joeckel would be a stud LT, and JV will be just as good at RT. One pick improves two positions.

    If there was a good QB, WR or CB that is deserving of a top 3 pick, then fine, but Geno, Millinar are not worthy, and the WR position is pretty thin in this draft.

    You can only work with what is on the table, and the best players at the top of the draft are at DT, DE and LT.

    You go for need when drafting in the top ten, you pick BPA and who cares how it affects the mediocre talent currently playing the same position on your team. It would be different if we had a star at LT or DT and we could afford to reach a little on a different position, but we are not in that position right now.

    Some of you guys on this blog are beyond clueless….It’s like I’m watching a bunch of remedial English comprehension students talk about redevelopment, politics, and sports all jumbled together. IHOP stadiums? The team moving to LA? Gimme a break.

    The Raiders are staying in Oakland. They want to stay, the City of Oakland wants them to stay, and the NFL wants them to stay! The plan is called Coliseum City. It will be similar to LA Live and the Raiders will be the first anchor tenant. What proof do we have that this is more likely than not going to happen?

    Proof #1

    1)The Raiders are buying up properties adjacent to the current Coliseum so that the new stadium can be built at the current site. Geniuses, large business and corporations begin buying up properties in a certain area because they intend to start building projects of their own at that location.

    Levi Damien reports:

    “The work the Raiders have been doing tell of a team determined to stay in Oakland. And with the fans on board, they can do it.

    Not only does the team want to stay in Oakland, they want the stadium to stay right where it is.

    “The current site is the focus,” said Trask. “Our hope, our desire is a new stadium at that site.” She cites the accessibility to transportation services as the primary reason for this. The 880 Freeway, BART train, Amtrak, and the soon-to-be finished AirBART express to the Oakland International Airport (which is also right up the street) are all extremely important reasons for keeping the Coliseum at its current location.

    The Raiders are not simply waiting until the lease is up to see what happens either. They continue to buy up local businesses so they can follow through with the plans which were put in place last year around this time.”

    http://www.silverandblackpride.com/2013/2/6/3961526/amy-trask-says-oakland-raiders-still-working-to-ensure-new-coliseum-in-existing-site

    Now how some of you guys are trying to spin this to mean anything other than what it says is utterly ridiculous. Pathetic.

  825. guest123 Says:

    actually I agreed with your first take. You DO go for need and combine that with BPA. Obviously we have a number of needs so it’s not like taking a player at need wont necessarily jive with BPA. Depending on if we stay at #3 or trade down, we can fill one or more holes with this strategy.

    But I think it’s a mistake to ignore need or consider it less important in the top 10. Teams that draft BPA tend to end up in the top of the draft again and again. Teams that shore up key weaknesses turn it around much quicker.

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    1- I never said LTs are not important, I did list them as one of the highest paid positions in the league, and I did say “upgrade” the LT position.
    2- you are assuming he will be a stud and an upgrade, but the draft is still a gamble. I rather gamble on a need position like DE, CB, or DT than gamble trying to upgrade a solid “OK” position.
    3- JD was a LT in college and the NFL, and you are making another assumption that he can play RT.
    Too many assumptions and risk to upgrade an “OK” position? I don’t like that bro.

  827. guest123 Says:

    You don’t draft a RT at #3 overall, do you? I think that’s nuts. We need a DE in the worst way. Many good and worthy choices in this draft.

  828. bcz24 Says:

    The good thing about the position we are in, is the BPA WILL fit a position of need, no matter who it is!

  829. ArmChair GM Says:

    The Raiders are staying in Oakland…

    Proof #2

    The City of Oakland and the Raiders are working TOGETHER to build a new stadium on the current site. Yes folks, you read it correctly…TOGETHER! The City of Oakland is not hiding from the Raiders or vice versa. They are working together to make Coliseum City a reality.

    The City of Oakland has just spent 1 million dollars to draw up stadium proposals for Coliseum City with the Raiders being the anchor tenant. And the Raiders HELPED FOOT THE BILL! Yeah that’s what corporations and businesses do when they are trying to leave town right?

    Paul Rosynsky, Oakland Tribune reports:

    “Dubbed “Coliseum City,” the proposal calls for a construction of an entertainment and sports district on the 1,000 acres of land where the O.co Coliseum and Oracle Arena now stand.

    The project models itself after the vibrant L.A. Live development in downtown Los Angeles anchored by Staples Arena that houses three professional sports teams. The development also has several entertainment options including a theater, restaurants and bars.”

    http://www.insidebayarea.com/breaking-news/ci_22453012/coliseum-authority-study-plans-new-oakland-raiders-football

    Are talks looking promising…

    Again Levi Damien reports:

    “The team will meet with city officials next week to discuss the status of the new stadium proposal.”

    Again, some of you clowns have spun this to somehow mean that the Raiders are secretly plotting or are somehow determined to move to LA. Beyond pathetic.

    When you have as many needs as we do, I’m almost sure the BPA will satisfy one of our needs like DT, DE, CB, or LB.
    Joeckel is one of the best prospects this year, but is he a better prospect than Star or Moore (20 yo)? I don’t think so (people including the experts have different opinions), so I would draft Star or Moore.

    The Raiders are staying in Oakland…

    Proof #2 The NFL WANTS THE RAIDERS TO STAY IN OAKLAND AND HAS MONEY AVAILABLE TO ASSIST.

    Commissioner Goodell said clearly that the NFL has 200 million to assist the Raiders with a new stadium in OAKLAND.

    “NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday the league is willing to contribute funding to help build a stadium in Oakland to keep the Raiders in town.

    The NFL already contributed $200 million to help fund a new stadium for the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara. Goodell said the league also would be able to fund a stadium for the Raiders if a deal was reached.

    There has been speculation the Raiders could move back to Los Angeles if they don’t get their stadium situation resolved in the Bay Area. Goodell said there is nothing new on moving a team to Los Angeles, and it would take a three-quarters league vote for it to happen.”

    I would pick a great defense. Your team will always be competitive and you might get lucky and get some mileage unexpectedly from the offense. But a bad defense affects even the best offenses negatively. A bad defense spills over into all 3 facets of the game.

    Always pick the BPA. If you are loaded there (are we loaded anywhere?), you trade back if at all possible. If not, you weigh it against your need. If the needed player is not that far off from BPA, pick him. If he is, still pick BPA and maybe trade him or the guy he’s replacing.

    disagree. not so easy to play musical chairs with talent and move them around. not in this salary cap era. contracts nowadays aren’t so flexible and you cant have too many eggs or dollars in one basket/position. if this were the previous era, id agree with you. but the cap puts a strain on how and where you spend your money. BPA is a myth. Draft for need and hopefully get BPA.

    CB is the number 1 position of need for NE, and losing Talib is the only reason they didn’t beat Baltimore (their receivers exploded when Talib left the game). No way he leaves.

    Ellerbe is the heir apparent (on of them anyways) to Ray Lewis, they will definitely not let him walk.

    Hartline is the best receiver in MIA, and with Welker, Bowe, Jennings, Amendola hitting the market Hartline wont get the interest on the market and will stay.

    Smith could leave, but I can’t see a playoff team letting a stout olineman walk.

    It isn’t the draft pick. If they lose Talib they will get at least a 4th rounder back in a compensatory. NE was struck out badly in recent years in drafting DB’s, they can’t afford to let the best one they got walk. I think as it is they are going to be after at least 1 CB and 1 safety in the draft.

    Raiders continue to be near the the bottom of profitable teams in the NFL.

    If Oakland wanted ‘em so bad they wouldn’t have a problem selling out games.

    Raiders have a very marketable brand that is being wasted in Oakland with an understandably unappreciative fanbase. What’s there to cheer for? A 4-12 doing absolutely nothing to improve the team at every level? Telling fans to be patient while other franchises improve quickly?

    Sure. There is a loyal and passionate fanbase but not enough of them.

    I live just outside of LA and I would love it for the Raiders to come back and play in the 2nd largest media market in the country. Coverage of the team would increase by leaps and bounds, more free agents would wanna come as their endorsement opportunities and visibility would increase, the Raiders would have a new stadium etc. etc. etc.

    Mark would be lucky to be able to move back there. It’s just business, and the Raider business is floundering and isn’t near getting the most out of the product that it can.

    It’s a new world and markets change..the Raiders have to change with it. C’mon. They are just now agreeing to do a “study” on a new stadium/ This could drag on for years while the Raiders continue to lose money and field a bad team.

    Raiders aren’t even trying to win. Why else would they hire some no name HC with zero experience and not even attempt to improve the roster.

    This b.s of “Salary Cap Hell” is just a lame excuse. They can get better players if they wanted to. Teams do that. Reggie doesn’t need to balance the budget. It’ll never happen if you wanna win.

    Bullsh1t. The final 2 home games of the 2010 season were blacked out, and the Raiders were still alive in the playoff hunt. 2011 and 2012 seasons featured only 1 blackout due in large part to using the 85% rule and the 2 for 1 ticket give aways.

    I chose to continue to root for the Raiders when they moved to LA, Al Davis’ biggest mistake of his life. Oakland has a lot of blame to bear in this, also. What the heck are those id_iots that run the city doing? If they can’t come up with a deal in the next year, the Raiders need to go to Santa Clara. Amy Trask needs to play hard ball with the city of Oakland!

    Wrong. You can only prorate a signing bonus a maximum of 5 years, and any proration becomes due immediately if the player leaves the team for any reason prior to the scheduled end of the contract.

    Totally agree with the concept that the Raiders or AD never really mastered the FA/Salary Cap. Thinking like Jerry or Steve that is it largely a myth does not help either. Except for the Gruden/Allen influence the Raiders have been the Cleveland Browns or Jags since the FA system came into play.

    Teams that win the preseason (such as the Redskins and Raiders) with big FA signings/trades have lost more than their share in the regular season games since 94 because of cap management issues. The teams that will win and continue to win consistently under this system seem to be the ones that draft well, hang on to their own people and develop them, and occasionally use targeted FA signings of under the radar FAs to fill in holes.

    That is what NE and Baltimore are known for for instance. That is kind of what SF did over the last 5 years and now look at them. The reason RM was brought in is GB is also known as one of those organizations that do this as well and MD’s advisors saw this. I hope this works and I hope it does not take years to clear out or it will not work because there will not be patience for it.

    in the last five years the 49ers have high draft picks may pick defense they had two defensive coaches that were terrible but they do no how address defensive players . The defense of the heart of the team your offense has to be of good not great if the defense can hold a team to 25 points or less you have a 75% chance of winning.

    If the Raiders can get their running game going we can scored over 25 points and get back to playing raider football no more zone blockin . 13 years we run the same defense man the man there will be a big difference in the Raiders this year the culture is changing .

    There is Blog propaganda and then there are facts!

    Fact 1)The Raiders WANT to stay in Oakland. They have publicly stated that they want to stay and have followed up that talk by buying up properties adjacent to the Oakland Coliseum.

    Fact 2) The Raiders and the City of Oakland are working TOGETHER to build a project called Coliseum City at the current location with the Raiders as the anchor tenant. It will be the equivalent of LA Live where the Lakers play and it will have retail, restaurants, hotels and a convention center

    The Raiders and the City of Oakland are having regular meetings to accomplish this and the Raiders helped foot the 1 million dollar bill to start making this a reality.

    Fact 3) The NFL wants the Raiders to stay in Oakland and has 200 MILLION available to help fund a new stadium once all the details are ironed out. There are no new developments about moving any team to LA at this time.

    So hopefully, you rejects on this blog can now shut up talking about IHOP Stadium, The Raiders moving to LA, and claiming that the City of Oakland is doing nothing to keep the Raiders, blah, blah, blah.

    When you have as many needs as we do, I’m almost sure the BPA will satisfy one of our needs like DT, DE, CB, or LB.

    Joeckel is one of the best prospects this year, but is he a better prospect than Star or Moore (20 yo)? I don’t think so (people including the experts have different opinions), so I would draft Star or Moore.

    It has nothing to do with me saying WHAT I WANT. It has to do with what Amy Trask is saying, and what the City of Oakland is saying, and what Commissioner Goodell is saying. Even beyond what they are SAYING, it has to do with what they are DOING. Buying properties, meeting frequently, pooling money together, etc.

    Those are the 3 entities that ultimately matter the most. And guess what??? They are ALL saying that the team is staying in Oakland.

    So you can Crip walk your way to Staples and watch the Lakers or Clippers play, cause that’s the most entertainment you will be having in LA anytime soon. The Raiders are staying in Oakland.

    I used to think Star was the answer this year, but now thinking that we have too many holes to fill.

    I think or best bet in the draft is to trade down and pick up Ogletree mid/late first round. Use additional pic in late 1st or early 2d to pick up C Barret Jones or an additional run-stuffing DT. Or if none available pick up Eddie Lacy at RB and pair him with DMAC (or relive injured DMAC) as a bruiser RB.

    Yes it’s Amy’s call, but Reggie’s responsibility to build a winning team.

    At no point should tarping off seats be an option in the NFL. There are only 8 regular season home games. If you put even a mediocre team on the field the games will sell out. We didn’t have an issue two years ago and we were 8-8.

    Eliminating seats is a sign of a loser mentality. If I were Reggie I would find it offensive. He probably agreed though, because it sounds like the franchise has packed it in. We are hitting rock bottom its a damn shame to see. From 8-8 to back to back seasons to rock bottom in one year.

    Bullsh1t. The final 2 home games of the 2010 season were blacked out, and the Raiders were still alive in the playoff hunt. 2011 and 2012 seasons featured only 1 blackout due in large part to using the 85% rule and the 2 for 1 ticket give aways.

    Reggie hasn’t yet had the opportunity to field a competitive team. You are an ignorant fool if you think Reggie could have done anything with the sh1t he inherited.

    ——-

    Just an fyi..2011 didn’t have 85% rule.

    Thats right it was the salary caps fault we went from 8-8 to an embarrassment. To think that is a joke.

    Reggie imploded the team, and has lined up all the excuses while the fans suffer. Keep ignoring the results

    “Not only does the team want to stay in Oakland, they want the stadium to stay right where it is.

    “The current site is the focus,” said Trask. “Our hope, our desire is a new stadium at that site.” She cites the accessibility to transportation services as the primary reason for this. The 880 Freeway, BART train, Amtrak, and the soon-to-be finished AirBART express to the Oakland International Airport (which is also right up the street) are all extremely important reasons for keeping the Coliseum at its current location.

    The Raiders are not simply waiting until the lease is up to see what happens either. They continue to buy up local businesses so they can follow through with the plans which were put in place last year around this time.

    The original and ambitious plans were called “Coliseum City”. The city approved the funds to draw up the plans last year. It includes three stadiums, a convention center (which Oakland desperately needs), hotels, and shops.”

    Yes it’s Amy’s call, but Reggie’s responsibility to build a winning team.

    At no point should tarping off seats be an option in the NFL. There are only 8 regular season home games. If you put even a mediocre team on the field the games will sell out. We didn’t have an issue two years ago and we were 8-8.

    Eliminating seats is a sign of a loser mentality. If I were Reggie I would find it offensive. He probably agreed though, because it sounds like the franchise has packed it in. We are hitting rock bottom its a damn shame to see. From 8-8 to back to back seasons to rock bottom in one year.

    I actually don’t think many NFL games create any true “family atmosphere.”
    Of course I’m not one to judge where you take your family.

    Granted, but I’m comparing a new stadium in LA to a new stadium in Oakland. Yes, we have riff raff. When tickets go for as low as $26, you will get that no matter where you’re at.

    Yeah I hear you but LA Live is not South Central (unfortunately I know because I live there). Farmers Field ain’t gonna be cheap either. The sketchiest people I ever see at LA Live are ticket scalpers and there not doin anything.

    I don’t understand why people can’t just straight up say they don’t want The Raiders to move to LA because they belong in Oakland. Why is there the need to try and make LA seem like something it really isn’t. Trust me if LA was as crazy as some people try to make it seem, I’d be dead or hooked on crack by now.

    They have begun buying adjacent properties, helped pay for the new stadium planning design, and have 200 million pledged by the NFL if they stay in Oakland.

    Said the Tarps is gonna be awful and sad to see. Browns game only got 43,000 ppl last year, and a couple games were at 51,000 still might not be able to sell out the place.

    Said Mark must have got tired of cutting the check to pay for extra seats nobody was using with the 85 percent rule.

    The other dj said Raiders are a pure mess and Niners are complete opposite with new stadium.. fresh of SBowl.

    Papa said well history use to be with the Raiders.. they always were on top and Niners were garbage.. till Raiders moved for 13 yrs and Niners took over the Crown of the bay area and were constantly in the super bowl .

    Basically Papa said he doesnt see a way Oakland WILL/ CAN finance a new stadium for the Raiders.. just doesnt see it.

    The other Dj said we are so similar to that garbage team JAX.. and Papa said ya but most teams dont have 3 superbowls in their history.

    In 2010/2011, there was a well-documented shift to the Dodgers. The younger gang-bangers have no attachment to the Raiders. Plenty of nasty stories coming out of Dodger stadium. Folks talk about buying expensive seats to avoid that element, but not being able to get away from it. It’s a problem. Deny it if it makes you feel better, but its not a dig on you as an LA resident.

    i’m not concerned about the image thing, f em is the Raider image. but i had season tix in la and i attend at least a game a year in oakland and it was MUCH more violent in la. Part of it was the crime/gang situation at the time in la but even today it’s worse at the Charger/raider games in Diego and Dodger games than it is in Oakland because you’re getting the la crowd. You still get a lot of la crowd in oakland weekly but the ones willin to take the journey all the way to oakland tend to be more concerned with the game and having a good time whereas the “trouble starting” element doesn’t have far to go in Diego or Dodger Stadium. Times are worse but a family environment would be more difficult to have in LA, although with the right amount of security (see dodger games) it can be done

    No, it was a terrible trade. Trading a first and second round pick for a retired QB who hadn’t looked competent on the field for 2+ years, when the team REALLY needs all of the high draft picks they can get, is not a good move. Still a bad trade for two seconds.

    at the end of the day the underdog outcast Raiders should stay in the underdog city of Oakland. If someone can build an “oakland live” type deal it’d be great however if Reggie doesn’t produce a miracle soon and get the Raiders back to winning, you can’t blame Mark for wanting to turn a profit

    Silver – u live there, great. I’m not saying LA is one big dump. I’m saying that element is attracted to the Raider brand. It’s no secret there was big time gang activity associated and revolving around the Raider logo down there. I remember as a kid being told not to wear my Raider gear when we went down there.

    In 2010/2011, there was a well-documented shift to the Dodgers. The younger gang-bangers have no attachment to the Raiders. Plenty of nasty stories coming out of Dodger stadium. Folks talk about buying expensive seats to avoid that element, but not being able to get away from it. It’s a problem. Deny it if it makes you feel better, but its not a dig on you as an LA resident. It is what it is.
    *********
    I’m just trying to promote logic banana.
    Idk what else I can say other than me being living proof that its not dangerous being a Raider/Dodger fan in LA. I wear my gear all the time. Go to plenty of Dodger games.
    I’m not the one saying one place is better than the other for safety reasons.
    But no matter where you go it’s not safe to be an idiot.

    ===========================================

    Had seat cushions with the little floppy hang down pockets. Carried two or three of those with 3 or 4 beers in each on one arm and an almost empty shoulder bag on the other arm.
    My ex had the worlds biggest purse. I’d follow her in and if security was feeling frisky, they’d do her purse and maybe my shoulder bag. Got in with a 12 pack every single time.
    Figured when they finally nailed me I’d be way ahead money wise, but they never did.

    i remember calling the station and I was the only caller or voice that was opposite to the instant upgrade hype.

    I gave them what i wrote here shortly after the trade and i cited the comparison in 3rd down qb rating and 4th quarter ratings of jc and palmer at5 the time and used that to support my case for jc whos numbers in those areas were superior to palmer. i also pointed to jc’s ability to make the smart play and carsons proclivity for the turn over.

    They told me the stats were meaningless in that case, just like 99% of the people here did.

    fast forward to 2012 seasons, what do you know. Crason and the raiders sucked on 3rd down, (one of the worst in football) and we dont need to rehash his awful 4th quarter meltdowns, or the dizzying 37 turnovers during his time.

And then last but not least, Commissioner Goodell states publicly that he has 200 million dollars available to help the Raiders move to LA.

    Um…if all that was going on simultaneously, I think it would be overwhelmingly safe to say that the raiders were going to be moving to LA.

    actually Papa is one of hte last loyal Raider “employees” and was a AL davis shill lap dog.. and its is sad to see.

    Its a joke what is happening to the Raiders right now. Raider have one of the worst venues in all of NFL.. They are 1 of the 3 most aweful place to watch a game. SF is one too but this is the last year.

    On record PAPA didnt agree with the PALMER TRADE.. I agreed with him 100 percent.

    ^^^^^^^^
    Nothing wrong with the CP trade, yeah it should have been for two 2nds instead of a 1st and 2nd, but the REAL dumb move was by Davis and McK getting rid of Hue after only 1 year instead of keeping him around to work with Palmer for a FULL training camp and FULL season and see what develops.

    ============

    not exactly

    1. I said that i believed he was playing at a very high level for the raiders and he could grow into being elite with this team and cast. based on how he was the clear leader and backbone of a team on the rise, and the captain of one of the best offense in football in 2011.

    2. I also said that i would hate for him to become the starter on another team and make the raiders pay, and mentioned the chiefs as a nightmare scenario.

    3. I postulated that jc would never resign because he viewed himself as a starter (he said he viewed himself that way after the carson trade on his local radio show). I added that he also would not resign to take 2nd qb money behind palmers salary and he did not appreciate how he was replaced in the middle of the night by hu jack with this now infamous backdoor deal for his pet carson.

    lol

    i remember calling the station and I was the only caller or voice that was opposite to the instant upgrade hype.

    I gave them what i wrote here shortly after the trade and i cited the comparison in 3rd down qb rating and 4th quarter ratings of jc and palmer at5 the time and used that to support my case for jc whos numbers in those areas were superior to palmer. i also pointed to jc’s ability to make the smart play and carsons proclivity for the turn over.

    They told me the stats were meaningless in that case, just like 99% of the people here did.

    fast forward to 2012 seasons, what do you know. Crason and the raiders sucked on 3rd down, (one of the worst in football) and we dont need to rehash his awful 4th quarter meltdowns, or the dizzying 37 turnovers during his time.

    I remember greg papa not only endorsing the palmer trade but went on and on about him being an upgrade over jc.

    LOL well we know how that worked out.

    i find that papa had some inside info because he developed a relationship with Davis sr and a few of the players.

    yet he hasnt been very accurate in my opinion since the death of davis sr, and he often spouts his opinion as if it is fact.

    ————————

    Not the day it went down. PAPA was not sold on it the day it went down.. cuz i was listening to him that day.

    Said he didnt know how much palmer had left or if he would be ready. It was a steep price not only draft pick wise.. but CONTRACT wise.

    im sure as the days went on he dealt with it and tried to spin it
    ============

    i should make it clear papa did lament on the terms of the agreement, but he hyped carson as a player and an “upgrade” over jc

    ur entire history suggests u are completely unwilling to see things for what they are regarding palmer or any qb. u crave black qb’s and consistently overrate them and u bash all white wb’s, except the occasional token like brady or luck.

    everyone here knows u hate white america. go ahead and deny it right now. u won’t because it’s the truth.

    everything u say is completely transparent. u fool no one.

    the price for palmer was too much but hue was going for the brass ring in the season that al davis died. palmer is a good passer who can be reckless. everyone knows this. campbell was nothing special and everyone knows that. u make a fool out of urself every day stating otherwise. and pryor has a very difficult time passing the ball. if u were genuine and objective, u would make some sense. but ur an over-the-top hateful bigot with ridiculous

  1139. elraidmanhattan Says:

    2. i have been the main one promoting reality with regard to palmer posting is turn overs and marrying them with the losses. These are documented facts and or reality as chronicled by the official nfl record keepers. it doesn’t get any more realty than that

    3. Your dividing players along racial lines, and only do this where qb is concerned. If you want to call brady brees e manning and the others as “tokens” it only highlights your fixation on race and further erodes any credibility you would hope to have.

    ************

    LOL. nice try punk. u are the one that thinks only in terms of black and white. u are on record as saying u like to watch black qb’s. i’m the one that started saying months ago that we should draft geno.

    racism:

    1) a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

    2) hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

    this is u, missdick. not me. i don’t feel blacks are inferior to whites, nor do i hate blacks.

    can u say the same about whites?

    thought not.

    case closed. u are racist. i am not.

    i just stated that i am diametrically opposed to racism in all it’s forms.

    u WILL NOT say it.

    exposed.

    1149. If we had a dead cert at QB would have no problem moving CP3 and his huge contract. However, not convinced yet that TP is a capable or even adequate replacement. That is why they should have given the young man more opportunity at the end of last season. We are no further along, other than to at least expect him to be a backup to Carson Palmer.

    you are biting my style again…lol weak suace

    Please tell me how saying you “love” someone means you are not a racist?

    thomas jefferson a known slave owner/ rapist/ pedophile supposedly loved his 14 year old slave & molestation rape victim Sally May Hemmins too. that didnt stop him from repeatedly victimizing raping or molesting her, or selling off the off spring from this sexual aggerssion and crime.

    PLease tell me why any black man should have to profess to ‘love” any people that classify themselves as white? I dont need your approval and i decide whom i do or do not care for. i dont need to include anyone simply to satisfy anyone that classifies themselves as white.

    besides this so called “love” that you speak of a so called greek construct and doesnt seem to make much sense to me.

    Im more into the Afrikan concepts of coupling kinship and community.

    ***********

    thomas jefferson? who gives a fu@k? i haven’t raped or enslaved or otherwise hurt any black people. i don’t have anything to do with jefferson.

    greek love?
    =====================

    every time you tell a so called racist joke you are hurting somoeone black people namely. So hurting someone while claiming to ‘love’ them makes you exactly like that slave owning murderous, rapist & pedophile thomas jefferson

    greek love what your concept or the entire western or euro-centric world based the idea of love on.

    How many wins again by Carolinas #1 pick 2 years ago? and how many pick 6s and bone headed plays by that guy in the clutch this year?
    ===========

    Cam newton you mean?

    took his team from 2-14 to 7-9 (improved his team win total both years as a pro

    rewriting the record books in 2011 too many rookie records to list, and 2012 with more passing yards and rushing yards than any qb in the history of the nfl over thier firs two years.

    62 tds vs 35 turn overs

    carson cant come close to any of these points.

    no where near the tds, more turn overs and only 8 wins

    lol

    cam has more wins ,more tds ,less turnovers.

    Palmer isnt in the same universe as Cam

    The parking situation at the LA Coliseum was spotty at best and not cheap. We were. So the hand made signs for $5 dollar parking were appealing.
    We were lucky to have an operable vehicle to leave with.
    We began parking anywhere in the vicinity of the Coliseum with mixed results.
    Wound up on Budlong and 42nd? 43rd? And parked there for a year or so.
    Granny on the porch asked if we were going to the game and after saying yes, asked her if we could bring her anything next week, next game.She said no, we did anyway, and nobody was gonna fck wth our car while granny was on the porch.

    They didn’t draft him #1 to re-write the personal records and go 13-19 , they drafted him to make the playoffs, which was a failure, complete collapse , they will give that cry baby one last chance, just like AL Davis gave Ja loser a chance, to see if he would give something in return for that #1 pick

    a long time ago, i was considering USC for grad school. in a brochure talking about the various film schools, it said regarding housing: “You can stay near the campus, where rent is cheap and life is cheaper, or you can look for plentiful off-campus options in the surrounding area.”

    i always thought it was funny, though sad. that area is very bad. the first time i went there to scout for a place to live, i was talking to a cop on sunset while they were shooting a commercial there. i told him i had rolled thru that part of town and he said “Don’t do that again!” he was really serious and told me i was putting my and my girl in jeopardy just driving thru. it looked like a battle zone.

  1270. ArmChair GM Says:

    The Raiders are buying up all kinds of properties in Oakland.

    The Raiders are in regular meetings with Oakland City officials.

    They have announced publicly that they are actively seeking to build a new stadium at the current Coliseum location.

    The Raiders are spending a large chunk of their own money to help finance a stadium proposal in Oakland.

    And then last but not least, Commissioner Goodell has stated publicly in recent comments that he has 200 million dollars available to help the Raiders if they remain in Oakland.

    Yet several of you are still choosing to ignore all of that evidence and say that all of this is indicative of a Raider move to LA.

    I don’t have any problem with what Reg does to make this team better, as long as we win anyway we can, it won’t matter if a blue skin color guy is the qb

    Do the math
    ============

    lol 6 games?

    even if palmers first two season are worth 6 more wins it is meaningless in terms of what is happening now.

    in his first two years cam has 13 wins

    in palmers last 3 years he has 12

    You have to admit the Raiders will continue to flirt with the idea that they are moving to L.A. with the intention of lighting a fire under the city of Oakland to move towards building a new stadium.

    This does confuse many posters…

    DutchRaider77-

    Don’t take this negatively because I don’t mean it that way…

    I have posted several links of verified news over the last 60 days from The Raiders, The City of Oakland, and the NFL, all affirming their commitment to Oakland.

    Can you find any link within the last 90 days, from a credible source, that is not just mere media speculation, that the Raiders have any interest whatsoever in moving to LA.

    I’ll wait…

    Maybe you are misunderstanding my post, I agree with you. It is just media speculation…but Mark has said in the past that all options are on the table, I viewed this purely as rhetoric. I also have heard that Mayor Quan (sic) is firmly committed to a new stadium…things just move so slow.

    No it isn’t. Our team is not completely different from two years ago. And our team should be. Sure every team goes through changes but they have the same recievers, 2 best Olinemen, same running back, Dline is reworked, LB’s reworked and two of the same DB’s. You don’t take a 12 win team and dismantle it.

    I understand your point DutchRaider. And I wasn’t attacking you in my post. My apologies if it came off that way. And yes, in the past, especially when Mark first took over ownership of the team, he did vocalize that all options were on the table.

    But within the past year, both sides have been working much more closely with all parties involved giving their vote of confidence to the Raiders staying in Oakland.

    My point is how posters can ignore the clear evidence and push their own agendas. Whereas if the exact same commitment was being made by all parties towards an LA stadium these same posters would be ranting about how a move to LA had overwhelming evidence.

    It is this double standard, and selective review of evidence that I am exposing here.

    Actually Mistic is not right about this. Terrell Pryor has been on the Raider roster for a year and a half. And in that time we have not heard from players, or coaches or seen with our own eyes one thing that would jump out and say, “this guy is a real NFL Q”.
    Remember the Al Saunders comment when Carson Palmer reported to practice and he said, “Now THAT’S what an NFL QB looks like.” No one has said that except a handful of very uninformed posters. And if we go to his one game tape, we see EXACTLY what the problem is: terrible mechanics, no accuracy, and questionable decision making. If he had ONE of those issues, maybe, just maybe, he might have a future. But with all three he should work on his receiving skills.

    he was uspended for the first 5 games last year he had no chance to show anyone what he could do, including the coaching staff

    this year he showed in preseason then was buried by knapp and da and made # 3

    he didnt get to practice until he ran scout for the carolina game and ever since he has wowed the raiders staff.

    first forcing his way into gimmick plays and packages. then eventually beating lienart in his first practice with the 1’s.

    He did this with only half of the reps in the practice.

    truly he was ignored until the carolina week, and now he will battle to start.

    LOL! proof u have a lot to learn about the nfl. if we cut palmer, he will be a starter signed immediately by any of ten teams.

    if we cut pryor, a few teams would be interested in looking at him as a wr. not a qb.

    LOL! u think they would have made the playoffs with pryor or anyone else? too stupid for words.

    ur the kind of idiot who thinks qb’s win or lose games, even though they don’t play defense or run the ball, or play special teams. they are directly involved with 25% of their team’s plays. and in those, they rely on playcalling and recievers.

    ur either football ignorant or u don’t care what the results are, u want a black qb.

    u have admitted u only follow the raiders if they have a black qb.

    u have admitted u won’t watch next season if palmer is the starter.

    u have admitted u didn’t watch this season after the preseason.

    I only want to discuss facts, so maybe you guys are spot on about Mistic, but even if he wants a black qb, in this case he is right. And please I want to get past that. I just think the raiders should have given more time to pryor, that is all I really have no beef with anyone here, but the misconception that we have to justify the palmer trade and he is a savior is pure delusion. I think pryor is a straight up guy and I am looking at 2014
    =======================================

    Actually Mistic is not right about this. Terrell Pryor has been on the Raider roster for a year and a half.
    =================

    he was uspended for the first 5 games last year he had no chance to show anyone what he could do, including the coaching staff

    this year he showed in preseason then was buried by knapp and da and made # 3

    he didnt get to practice until he ran scout for the carolina game and ever since he has wowed the raiders staff.

    first forcing his way into gimmick plays and packages. then eventually beating lienart in his first practice with the 1’s.

    He did this with only half of the reps in the practice.

    truly he was ignored until the carolina week, and now he will battle to start.

    lol
    =============================================

    If you think for one second coaches are going to send a player to the locker room who they think can help them win games, you don’t know coaches. Sure, for the first five weeks of his career Pryor could not be evaluated. But that was a year and a half ago and no one has been jumping up and down about him, and those are the guys that are with him all day every day.

    He was playing against scrubs in the preseason. Not against bona fide NFL ones. He was a #3 because he was #3 Not because of some conspiracy. He ran the scout team all year which gives him a chance to practice against bona fide NFL ones. You never heard guys coming out of practice saying how Pryor absolutely dominated against the ones. How you can claim a guy was ignored when he ran the scout team is kind of laughable. Maybe he wasn’t ignored, maybe he just wasn’t very good…

    first off he didnt “run scout team all year” he only started to run scout for the carolina game according to him.

    maybe you missed these as well

    “Very good. TP has been good all week for us. He’s been filling in our defensive players, ‘Hey this is good when you do this because this makes it hard on me.’ He’s done a nice job simulating in practice and adding information. He’s so fast and so big, the speed with which he can do it on the practice field has helped us.” – tarver on pryor

    “We’ve got the closest guy here,” running back Mike Goodson, a former teammate of Newton, said with a gap-toothed Cheshire Cat grin this week. “Terrelle Pryor. We’ve got the closest guy to him, I think.” goodson comparing pryor to newton

Our defense is among the worst in the league. Our Oline was among the worst in the league. Yet we were 3-4 at one point, and we had an average passing attack on all accounts.

    Check the video yourself. You’ll see he threw 4 td’s that game. You’ll also see the wr ran the wrong route on the int. he threw. You’ll also notice Doug Martin running for 4 td’s and 255 yd’s.

    Stabler and Gannon never had the worst defense in franchise history.

    Palmer has never thrown for 7 int’s in a game like Stabler did or 5 int’s in a gmae like Gannon did.

    As far as Palmer NEVER being a winner…he led the Bengals to the playoffs two times and has been an all pro two times. You’ll have to excuse him for not beating Pittsburgh in the playoffs seeing as his ankle was in a cast from the 1st quarter on.

    He also won the Heisman trophy.

  1456. CDERaider Says:

    Raiders should stay away from the free agent WR market. Release DHB and the WR’s on contract are pretty good as is.

    #1 Rod Streater – should take over DHB’s spot – he’s actually faster than DHB in terms of quickness and getting to top speed faster. And he gets open, runs great routes, hand catches, and fights for the ball – DHB does none of those well.

    #2 Denarious Moore – he had a down season mainly because of the hammy that never really healed but he’s a talent and a big play waiting to happen – can get open deep on anybody in the league.

    #3/Slot Ford – hasn’t played alot since 2010 if he’s 100 percent back he’s in a contract year and will be a force again.

    #4 Criner – this kid is a big time target and a red zone specialist. Can also go up and make big catches on the outside.

    #5 Hagan – will play on a 1yr deal, knows Carson, and has played solid when given a chance and has timing route skill and great hands.

    Maybe get another sleeper in the draft/UFA but we’re good at WR if we get DHB off the field.

    ———————————-

    I think we are. Looking at the past production of Moore and Ford (when they were healthy mind you) and not having DHB taking wasted snaps from Streater its actually a strong group. If we can get the running game back (read: serious Oline help and get a productive big back) we’re actually looking pretty good. Can’t see a FA WR (for cheap) that would help us beyond what we have – we have youth, athleticism and production with players that have something to prove to get that next contract. Plus consider DMAC as another hybrid receiver as well..

    Pryor will be perfectly suited to be #2 this year and should get meaningful snaps especially in the red zone. Get DMAC and him running the zone read on 1st and goal and Criner running to the back pylon and its game on! He’s got the talent, the mechanics have to improve to be a legit passer but he’s a perfectly good (potentially great) #2 and is a good protege for Palmer. If he’s not, fine we draft a QB next season. It’s actually a good spot to be in right now.

    Palmer actually has decent room to restructure again – he can move another 7-8 mill easy off the books this year and he’s probably got another 1-2 years in him while we get our house in order. He aint going anywhere – he lives in CA and wants to start – he won’t want to move. If you look at it – he was pretty solid this year – and he’s a leader which we have so little of on this team.

  1483. J Hill Says:

    I hope we don’t run ANY of that zone read stuff. Only time the QB should run the ball is when he is scrambling, imo.

    So a political colonoscopy is going on before our eyes. Republican after Republican told us the party dodged a bullet with Mitt Romney’s loss: If he had squeaked in, this vital reboot would have been delayed four or eight years.

    A number of Republican groups, the Republican National Committee included, are putting the final touches on an autopsy of what went wrong. They are reaching similar, and predictable, conclusions: Hispanics, Asians, African-Americans, single women and young people are turned off by the modern GOP. These problems, they say, while real and pressing, are solvable with policies and targeted outreach, over time.

    But a senior Republican operative said the party has two huge, unresolved impediments to the top leaders’ grand plans: “suicide conservatives, who would rather lose elections than win seats with moderates,” and the “many groups on the hard right that depend on direct mail fundraising that requires a high degree of audacity, and borderline shrillness.”
    Throw in a third obstacle: loudmouth personalities and candidates who, once created, are hard to control.

  1489. DJ Johnny Says:

    Here’s a nice, sound, pragmatic anti-Palmer take:

    -He’ll be 34 in December. Not the age of a QB if your goal is to build for the long term

    -He bears his share of responibility for the team being 4-11 while he was QB last yr.

    -He is not the kind of QB that can carry a bad team on his back and win.

    -He has not won a playoff game (see point # 2..but fine.)

    -He is not very mobile and will not make first downs with his feet.

    -He does have the “zip” on the ball that he once had. (I don’t know if that’s true..but again…fine)

    -He throws too many int’s (actually he’s more middle of the pack in that category…but fine)

    -It’s better to go with a young guy at this point since by the time we get good enough to compete he’ll be too old anyway.

    Those are all legit concerns I would expect from a fan who simply has the Raiders best interest at heart and just wants to see us win. I would argue some of those points…but they are fair concerns.

  1493. Chris in NY Says:

    Interesting debate about the WRs. Streater did play dam good for a rookie and has No 1 type WR makeup. Moore was down, but I think there’s still reason to be optimistic he could breakout in year 3. Ford will be back. Could we bring DHB back for like $2 mil per and make it an open competition? In that scenario, maybe you don’t need a Bowe or Jennings or Wallace. I don’t know. A bit of a gamble to roll with those guys. But maybe we try, if we need to focus our available resources (ie cap room and picks) elsewhere.

  1494. J Hill Says:

    No.

    We should have never traded Bynum, like I told you.

    And you never bring in your enemies to run you camp. Former hated Suns Nash and Ricearoni?????

    Just phuccing add a pt guard to the team that should have been up 3-1 on OKC in the damn playoffs. Give Sessions a training camp and sign a Jamal Crawford.

    DJ Johnny,
    What’s long-term in the NFL these days? To me that’s 2 years plus the one we just threw away. Would Palmer be too old at 36? Manning was that old this year coming off a season out with serious neck surgery. Not that Palmer is Manning, arguably the best QB ever, but there is reason to believ he can be a good QB for at least another 4 years. Kurt Warner was slinging it about that long and had a much worse mid-career dip than CP.

    And there’s nothing to say Pryor and/or some other young QB can’t be brought along at the same time and prepared to take over.

  1502. Just Fire Baby Says:

    If you start Streater the whole season like we have DHB the last 4 – he will produce. He’s a 1000 yd receiver easy. With Moore on the other side running deep and Ford in the slot, its a given. Maybe not a ton of TD’s but def yards.

    i hate to make this argument again. but. put yourself in a GM’s shoes. you restructured your inherited “elite” QB to push his salary to 17 mil the following season from 7.5 mil to make cap space. he “led” you to a 4-12 season. now you can save 8.5 mil in cap to move on….ummmm is there something im missing? because it seems to be pretty obvious to me he’s getting let go unless we pull the same restructure for some reason

    Oakland Raiders to make Carson Palmer take pay cut or be cut?

    This is even more intriguing considering it comes relatively soon after the Raiders brass noted that back up Terrelle Pryor would have an opportunity to compete for the starting QB position in 2013. Pryor was finally given an opportunity to start in the final game of the 2012 season and he opened a lot of eyes to his potential to play QB in the NFL.

    Now that the Raiders know they have an option at quarterback, it is much easier to apply pressure to Palmer in order to get him to take a pay cut. The real question is, will the Raiders actually go through with cutting Palmer if he insists on the $13 million or something close to it.

That, coupled with Carson Palmer’s massive cap number mean any camp competition is likely to be a token one, but it’s encouraging the Raiders appear to be adopting a more open-minded approach on offense after former OC Greg Knapp’s rigid system went nowhere fast.

    no way that can be all made up. to many stories not just from him over hte years..and its still that way.

    He sent a DVD to anderson cooper.. basically so the media wouldnt make him the “bad guy” even tho he now is one.. but his writings have truth to them. MOst journalist wont even read his writings and just label him a nut and give their baseless uninformed opinion on the guy

    Dude wrote a manifesto about the LAPD? Now that must be some good reading right there.

    Jeff George set, at the time, a ton of Raider single season records in 1997.

    We also went 4-12 then.

    Some QB’s are expert cherry-picking, stat-padding losers.

    Jeff George then went to Minnesota where he took over a 2-4 team that was under performing and took them to the playoffs going 8-2 in his 10 starts.

    Why? He had a TEAM. Something you don’t think is neccessary to win games in the NFL. He had Cris Carter and Randy Moss, along with Jake Reed to throw too. That helped a bit.

    All it shows is that stat padding “loser” can win games if they have a TEAM.

    Now you say it was Palmer’s fault the defense was the worst in franchise history cuz it’s Palmer’s job to “inspire” them?

    That’s ridiculous.

    Most of the time yes, but the Rams have a ton of picks this year and need a franchise Tackle – if Jeokle is on the board, we might get a swap and a 2nd and 3rd for him. They have 2 2nds and 2 3rds.

    This guys conclusion is we should draft a Q, or put in Pryor. But Why would you draft someone, and surround them with nothing? Or put a glorified WR in as a Q? And let’s say this idea fails. Now, we are waaaay WORSE than we would be if we didn’t do that. And what are the chances of failure? Incredibly high.

    We have a Q for the forseeable future. We could actually use those picks to build the team instead of throwing in someone with no one around them. Which is where we are now. That makes absolutely no sense.
