    Now the f***ed up part. You don’t think Kansas City knows that and wants to deal with him for the next 15 years????


    Nope. Kansas City will do everything to lose this game. Go for it on their own 20. Andy Reid doesn’t give a f***.

    Kansas City wont win this game. They’ll try to lose. All kinds of s***. I see the chiefs doing that.

    I think Fernando Mendoza does a little better job processing than Jared Goff. That’s just my opinion.

    Fernando Mendoza is the kind of guy you want leading your building.

    Very high character.

    Fernando Mendoza is the face of your franchise.

    Another comp Joe Burrow.

    I know Mendoza kind of comes off Robotic but that’s really him. That’s really who he is. Just a positive kid. He wants to work.

    I like how he led off season workouts with the team.

    Now go get your guy. Dont f*** this up.

    I actually watched his Cal tape. Just to make sure he wasn’t just a system Quarterback or that is was just the coach.

    and Nope it’s all Fernando Mendoza same Quarterback at Cal as he was at Indiana.

    Big day for the Raiders.
    Hoping for that top pick, but I want Jeanty to run wild. And I want some guys to get playing time that we haven't seen. Turn AOC loose.

    The Raiders can lose and still get the top pick.

    It would be so Raiders to win today. It’s simple lose!!!!!! That’s the job.

    Mendoza is at stake. My boy just called him the next Josh Allen.

    It would be so Pete Carroll to win this game. And you know Andy Reid wants to lose. He doesn’t want Mendoza in the division. And I don’t get these teams. Lose.

    you know the anti tank was in. When you saw the Chiefs sitting Worthy. Like duh!!!!

    O Connell is the last guy I would start. Dude trying to play for a job you know he gonna get that win. Something told me to bet and hit the Raiders.

    Such a shame we didn't get a season of AOC learning and growing to see what he had to offer, but I'm happy to have him as a backup and get our franchise QB. Shame Jeanty didn't hit 1000 rushing, but he had a solid rookie season. With any o-line, he's in line for a monster season.

    Just focus on this.

    QB Mendoza

    RB Jeanty

    TE Bowers

    WR Tucker

    Now you guys will see what these players look like. Now Bowers finally has a real Quarterback. You’ll see how this offense moves. Hunter to. Jeanty will have running lanes because we have a Quarterback that teams fear. He gets the ball out Quick. And he’ll have so many places to go with the football. He processes so quick. And he is very smart and very accurate.

    gotta get some lineman to.

    also if we could trade up. Get local vegas guy Zacaharias Branch. Would be a Tyreke Hill type of talent.
    Local Kid from Bishop Gorman. USC and Georgia.

    HC
    Flores - tough minded but the defensive schemes would be upgraded over Graham. Skeptical.
    Saleh - have doubts he'll leave San Fran but he'd be my choice if he casts his name.
    Shula - see above but not as heavy handed as Flores.
    Minter - could be Michigan bound?
    Stefanski - 2 time COY? Intriguing... Could be a front runner for G-Men HC.
    McDaniel - Nah...

    OC
    Daboll - see Josh Allen
    Monken - ???
    LaFleur

    He wanted three years but was only offered two instead. Chose Daniels over Minshew. Understandable.

    Early thoughts on some of these guys. The numbers listed are approximate point differential per game. Obviously, positive is good. Note that Pete Carroll was +3.2 coming into this season, and Vrabel was +0.7. Guys without head coaching experience are hard to project. I had Ben Johnson at +6.2, and his team finished 11-6, but I had Aaron Glenn at +2.5; his team wen 3-14, and he's now -11.9, basically untouchable as a HC.

    *MInter +4.0. Good DC with on two winning squads. He's like a top 8 DC in the NFL, or has been over the last two seasons. Hasn't been HC, so this is a projected number.

    *Shula +3.2. Average DC, with one low-average and one high-average/good season; LAR's success is more on offense than defense. He hasn't been a HC, so his score is harder to project, so that's why it has an asterisk on it.

    Stefanski -2.9. With 0 good, 5 average, and 2 poor offenses, coupled with 3 elite defenses and four average ones, Stefanski's losing record is hard to understand.

    Flores -3.1. Not a successful HC, but he has overseen three solid defenses. His point differential as HC suggests this record in Miami should have been even worse than it was, but I think there are a lot around the league who want him to have a second chance. As DC, he'd be a huge upgrade over Graham.

    Saleh -5.2. A bad head coach. Oversaw an average defense on a good squad. Has been an above average DC in his career.

    I'm not even putting McDaniel in there. lol. Or Gruden.

    I think the safest picks might be Mike McCarthy (+4.1) or Matt Nagy (+0.5)
