Oakland will be more competitive than the Chiefs next year

[In58men]

@AdamSchefter: Oakland preparing for sweeping changes that involve its GM Reggie McKenzie, according to league sources. Mark Davis getting ready to spend.


Those guys get it, we don't. Derek Carr is their QBOTF and again we're still waiting for ours.

It would be real easy for Harbaugh to join the Raiders without having to move his family or change his life.

Not sure what it would take and after him having problems with the front office, not sure Oakland makes sense in that respect.

It would be a big coup for Oakland to get him.

Just in time for Christmas, season ticket renewals make great Christmas presents. Act before Christmas and get a autographed Alex Smith 2015 Chiefs Calendar.

You know you are going to meatball.

Sure, when they start playing in Ohio, maybe.

Btw that declining quarterback has won more in 3 years then the chiefs have in 40. think about that. If that's declining, then maybe that's what the chiefs need

Manning is 39 years old, and it is starting to show. He doesn't have the zip on his passes that he did even a year ago. At this age he will decline fast. He will still have the advantage of being great at reading defenses and adjusting to them but there will come a time, and it won't be long, before that isn't enough.

Wouldn't be out of the question to have a dramatic drop-off from one season tot he next. Take Brett Favre for example. His first year in Minnesota he threw for 33 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. The very next year he threw for 11 touchdowns and 19 interceptions.

Can't say I'm not hoping for a similar drop-off for Manning ASAP. Would love for him to come back for another season and his production just fall off a cliff and for the Donkeys to still not know what they have in Osweiller.

Not even Lombardi would have won more games for the Raiders the first 2 years after Al died.

I hate to break the news, but there was no point to firing Dennis Allen at that point. It's just another case of the team laying blame on somebody for their own ****ed up decision making, business as usual in Oakland.. Nothing's changed, unless you think letting Tony Sparano dog-paddle around out there serves some insane purpose.

Team v. individual


Manning's clearly been declining. If it's because of an undisclosed injury, then maybe he'll be back up to snuff next year, and the league can bitch about the injury rules again. Only time will tell us on that.

You may be 100% correct. Time will tell

I agree, Manning does not have the arm to zip his passes anywhere but on calm days or indoors. His game is faltering noticeably in cold or windy conditions….this is why I state the Doncs window is closing rapidly

First of all, you guys are assuming that Harbaugh is a lock to go there and secondly, you guys are assuming that he's going to be some HOF candidate even if he does go there.

If he shows up in Oakland, he's has a TON of bad contracts to eat and washed up players to ditch before he can start remaking the roster in his image. Not to mention just the simple facts of installing a new system top to bottom and trying to create a new culture in that dump.

Nah, they wont be jack squat for a while even if he goes there...that team is the ultimate fixer-upper/long term project.

They'll eat 5.5 mil next year when they let Schaub go. Based on current contracts, a rough estimate has the Raiders at 52 mil under the cap in 2015.

Well that's good, because the roster is a bag of shit.
