The contract worries me but he was 13th in pff last year and has been a solid 10-17th starter the past few years.

[quote=pfish57 post_id=1277964]Surely they aren't stupid enough to give a 35 year old mediocre QB 40-45 Mil per [/quote]If Tua and Lawrence are gonna get 50+ then yeah the market says Geno will get 40.

[quote=LayneStaley post_id=1277963]Honest question for people freaking out, did you think 74 year old Pete was gonna just tank this year with AOC? Every single option after Stafford was shit, including this one.

Geno
Arod
Wilson
Fields
Darnold
Cousins
Jones

One was gonna be on the team, no way were we gonna roll with AOC and Jaxon Dart or whoever else people think the savior is.[/quote]Dude... Again, its the compensation and the new incoming deal. Geno Smith as a 35 year old bridge QB for a 6th or 7th round pick and a 1 year deal, nobody would be bitching. You have to account for the awful value here.

O’Connell is not going to all of a sudden be mobile. I'm not excited about trading for Geno, but I prefer him over O’Connell.

He’s a good bridge and allows us to draft a guy who doesn’t have to start soon and he’s a big upgrade over what we had. Does this mean we’re definitely not going QB at 6? Does it increase the odds of us trading back? Does this bring Jeanty into play at 6? Definitely an interesting move.

They should fire Spytek and Carroll now and try to save the season.

It’s pick 92 for Geno.

And if both are gone, are they going to over draft the next tier QB's, I'm guessing they won't.

[quote=LayneStaley post_id=1277973]It’s pick 92 for Geno[/quote]It's a starting guard, linebacker, or cornerback.

Duh.

If there's ANY silver lining, maybe the Raiders know there isnt a franchise QB in this draft and are looking to 2026. We can only hope that is the case.

[quote=DanKD post_id=1277967]The contract worries me but he was 13th in pff last year and has been a solid 10-17th starter the past few years.[/quote]Yeah a group of men forced to watch Minshit and AOC last year losing it over a middle tier QB. Can’t make this shit up.

[quote=Raider727 post_id=1277970]O’Connell is not going to all of a sudden be mobile. I'm not excited about trading for Geno, but I prefer him over O’Connell.[/quote]You realize Smith is not mobile and was sacked a whopping 50 times last season?

Better than what we have in the QB room , but we can't expect him to win us games. Eugene has to manage the game and don't F it up.

[quote=BoKnows81 post_id=1277919]A f[raiders_icon]cking 3rd for this trash.[/quote]He’s a solid bridge QB and hopefully this rules out Sanders
