There is absolutely nothing wrong with bumping this thread to talk about Maxx all you, or anyone else, wants. Personally I'm going to be watching Crosby's performance and the Ravens performance and comparing it to what we did with the resources from trading him.
Hopefully it gets discussed more in this thread and doesn't dominate every other thread. The way we've had to manage the Carr discussion to keep it from being an all-Carr forum really sucks. Unfortunately one Carr post in an unrelated thread consistently turns into multiple pages about nothing but Carr.
By the way, anyone who uses this post as an invitation to talk about Carr is getting a timeout.
...I just looked more closely at the ravens d line, after I had started to type that 'i would have no doubt that in that situation, he will produce'......and was shocked, more or less, to see that despite the 2 tackles having been rated so highly, that overall, that d line unit was rated 31st last year. ....while they attributed the crappy rating in large part to the lack of pass rush from the ends, it m,makes me wonder just how more effective he will make that unit....from 31st, that's a long way to go......
This shit circulating about Alex Guerrero pisses me off. He needs to stay in his lane, keep him away from the team.
Agreed. He has always caused drama even back with the Patriots. He may very well provide value and a good service, but it can't be denied that drama and dislike also follows him around.

yeah, I have to assume, and hope, that the new HC has the authority to square that away, regardless of Brady's influence.

Yes i hope so. I think the ship was too loose under Carroll. Spytek appears much more assertive so far this offseason and Kubiak seems much more no nonsense.

I remember last year seeing rookie Joe Alt absolutely stone wall Maxx play after play all game long. Alt is a hell of a player mind you, but it put things in perspective for me on Maxx even the season before last. Keep that in mind here

IMO Crosby will have a massive impact if he's healthy. He'll also very likely have significantly better sack production with better DTs and if Lamar Jackson is healthy enough that they aren't playing from behind all the time like the Raiders were.

Crosby's current contract is a bargain - signing him to that extension last year is a big part of the reason we got this kind of value IMO.
Exactly. Even with that bargain contract, those assholes are so cap strapped before cap gymnastics they're hoping the Raiders eat some of it. Mouth breathers
This shit circulating about Alex Guerrero pisses me off. He needs to stay in his lane, keep him away from the team.
How dare he interfere with what has been the culture and has worked so well the last two decades. Who cares that G and Brady have had massive success everywhere they have been. We want none of that here mister....
Later Maxx, thanks for your motor on the field
keep your rap in the shower lol

2021-2023 Maxx was elite. The last two seasons he has only been very very good. I actually think this is primarily due to health. He has been playing hurt each of the last two years. His every play every game mentality is admirable but it also makes it difficult to heal up in season.
If Maxx can avoid those injuries i think he can be elite still but with the way he plays and mileage there is real risk he continues to not be at full strength throughout the season.

I do agree, but was under the impression that the d line was just a Crosby away, and not ranked a miserable 31st. ...I have no doubt they will improve a lot.

Wonder if Linderbaum will (or has) reached out to Crosby regarding The Raiders organization?

Because one player on the team who was already checked out, had a problem with him?

Maxx is gone. Maybe he hated Guerrero. I don't care, because he's gone. I'm not concerned about the shit circulating about Guerrero.

He has a history from his Pats days of clashing with players/coaches. An article a couple weeks ago said it was multiple players and coaches for Raiders too. I only care because it seems like its always something.
