Wow, Stabler was practicing for the Holy Roller while in college! (I was at that game, as a former Chargers fan, it still sticks with me...)

Looks like Garbers may have some competition next year.

The #Raiders are actively looking into signing pending free-agent QB Tom Brady.

thats probably a good thing. If Brady joins the Raiders he will, at some point, break down... and if Garbers is the backup that means he gets to play some chunk of one of the next couple seasons. Plus they won't sign Brady without adding pieces around him, and Las Vegas already has some pretty good skill position talent.

About the best setup you could ask for.

I have no problem with your opinion other than:

1. The Raiders haven't had a serviceable bandwagon to jump on since Rich Gannon was QB;

2. I hope you are not including me with people that dumped the Raiders because they suck, because that has been the case for decades and they only lost my fandom when they left for LV;

3. I am not a Libby Schaaf or Oakland City Council fan, and I can't quote verse and chapter from the negotiations relating to building a new Raiders stadium in Oakland, but my instincts tell me at least a portion of John Oliver's argument in video below is applicable (especially in light of the reaming Oakland took on costs for Mount Davis).

4. Never shed one tear if a girl dumped me. You can't make someone like you. If you have any perception at all, you can usually see it coming and split first.

I do not desire to troll or continue to offend Raiders/Carr fans so I will drop Carr bashing from my set.




*Since the Raiders left town my favorite team has been any team Goff is on, so clearly having a winning record plays no role in my team fandom.

It's not lost on me that many of the "great Carr comebacks" were against teams they never should have been behind to start with. I'm talking truly bad teams like the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos. Carr has been great coming back against really bad teams but so would pretty much anyone else. Despite that, he still lost to Arizona and Indianapolis, 2 really bad teams.

It's also not lost on me that somehow Stidham came in and lit up the best defense in the NFL. Would Carr have done that? NO! because Carr could not have scrambled, extending plays and getting first downs like Stidham did. Carr's legs are probably the worst legs of any NFL QB, including backups. I choose not to blame the Raider's defense for the fact that Carr cannot extend plays and drives because of his legs.

Did I just off the bandwagon too? NO. I just report it as I see it.

If the Raiders get Jimmy G next season...not sure you guys are gonna like it.
