Didn't Darnold have a year in the SF system?GoodTimeCharlie wrote: Thu Oct 02, 2025 5:55 pm Woof. Add wholey unfunny to your laundry-list of winning personality traits.
SF is the polar opposite of us when it comes to QB. Coaxing and Coaching decent to excellent QB play out of Jones, Purdy, Jimmy G, Garcia, Smith, Kaep. Where as we cause every QB to abandon every last semblance of skill for the position.
Even when we do get a QB with all the necessary tools, he ends up being the biggest coward to ever play in the NFL.
Well he certainly choked the Falcons ring away with an absolutely horrendous series of calls late. I’d still take him in a heartbeat.RaiderandBulldog wrote: Thu Oct 02, 2025 8:43 pm Rat Jr can coach in the regular season by he can’t win a SB ring.
He blew it twice against KC and once against the Rams in the NFC title game.Jeevo wrote: Thu Oct 02, 2025 8:44 pm Well he certainly choked the Falcons ring away with an absolutely horrendous series of calls late. I’d still take him in a heartbeat.
What in the world is this slang for?
Not impressed at all with Mac Jones but he certainly looks to be playing better than Geno. There’s quite a few players we could have chosen who were younger, cheaper and wouldn’t have cost draft capital. For the third year in a row we chose the worst possible available QB.ALLRAIDERWORLD21 wrote: Thu Oct 02, 2025 7:25 pm Am I the only thinking Mac Jones could have ran the Raider offense better than Geno..
That's fine but even with all the injuries to his team they're still performing. And at the very least he has his teams in position to win something that matters. They used to say Andy Reid choked in the big games tooRaiderandBulldog wrote: Thu Oct 02, 2025 8:46 pm He blew it twice against KC and once against the Rams in the NfC title game.
I have this thought every day, especially about the draft capital.Corleone wrote: Fri Oct 03, 2025 12:30 am Not impressed at all with Mac Jones but he certainly looks to be playing better than Geno.

Don’t be a pick
Shanahan is a top 5 NFL offensive coach. He got to a Super Bowl with a QB that was barely functional as a Raider. The Raiders could have added any of Mac Jones, Danny Dimes, Darnold and they would all look worse under Kelly and this garbage offensive line. If anything AOC has actually functioned better than Garoppolo, Minshew, and Smith which makes me wonder what he would look like on a good team coached by a QB whisperer. Certainly not all pro but probably not far off how Jones looked last night. The Raiders really need to sort out the offensive line and play calling as it’s clear it’s making all quarterbacks the Raiders bring in look worse than they were previously.Corleone wrote: Fri Oct 03, 2025 12:30 am Not impressed at all with Mac Jones but he certainly looks to be playing better than Geno.

So what your trying to say is the Raiders pretty much Suck in all facets of the game of football??? If so I would concur;)heavyD wrote: Fri Oct 03, 2025 9:10 am Shanahan is a top 5 NFL offensive coach. He got to a Super Bowl with a QB that was barely functional as a Raider.
