    Ruled, they haven't won more than 5 games in a few years...at least Detroit had that year where they went 7-9 or 8-8...the Raiders have just been consistently awful for several years in a row. Goodell should make crazy Al sell the team

    How does any of this effect the fact that he cant catch (let alone most of the shit you just said was garbage)

    Again you can always find a player do criticize a team philosphy. How about the boar hunter . The Jets under leon hess there philosphy was we want the good guys and they would pass on guys with questionable backgreound. Okay you had choir boys, but a lousy football team.

    Here is what you missing. Raiders philosphy when it comes to the draft hasn't changed. They been a highly sucessful franchise for years living by their beliefs. They aren't afraid to push the envelope. Only due to Raiders tough stretch(losing alot of games) have people question their philosphy. Raiders start winning and you will see everyone pattern there way after the raiders.(copy cat league)

    Raiders have really done well recently going by the philosphy they hold so dear, The Trevor scotts, Chaz Schilens, Greyson gunheim,Marcel reece. etc Who were very late draft choices or UdFa who are going to be absolute steals.

    Now getting back to the subject, whoi\se to say Raiders didn't base their decuison on other factors beside speed in DHB case. First Off Gil Brandt said Dhb pro day was very impressive. He caught everything and made it look easy.. Lets see Maryland had a very bad QB situation. They were predominately a running team, they didn't have alot of weapons on offense beside DHB. You take all those things into consideration and you put Crabtree or any other wr in this maryland offense, and you really think there numbers would be any better.

    Last point look in Raiders past. Raiders have always used a guy to stretch the field(From cliff branch, James Jett and now DHB) Those players play a large role in the effectiveness of the Raiders offense.

    Why didn't you answer the questions. They were that difficult especially for a big Maryland fan. Whats the deal with that???????? Tell me what I have wrong. From Gil Brandt to alot of diffrent people who seen DHb play they claim his hands aren't as bad as you make them out to be. My understanding from everything i read says DHB has made alot of acrobatic catches in his career at maryland, and has dropped some easy passes. That says more concentration problem, than with his hands.


    BTw that was impressive number of players drafted from Maryland. Beside DHB They had one third rounder and three seventh rounders. Yea now i know why you question DHb production, when your talking about playing with that kind of talent. Two of those seventrh rounders played on offense. DHB couldn't make chicken salad, out of chicken shi# at maryland.

    Here's a funny fact.

    Jets Franchise Value = $1.17 Billion, 5th Highest

    Oakland Franchise Value = $861 Million, 31st Highest...or 2nd Lowest...However you like it

    Funny considering it's been 41 years since we won a title and Oakland has 3. Al Davis sure knows how to run a team....FAIL

    Yea Bt Barnum said it best 'there a sucker born every minute". What do Jets Owner/management reward you with for being loyal to a franchise that been embarrassing for 41 years. PSLs. A fee to Your Owneship for the right to buy tickets to one of the worst organizatioin the last 41 years. Brillant Lets see if Jet fans are as dumb as there reputation is. Remember Jets don't sell out their home games, There will be a blackout in new York Area. Well at least you will get to watch the Raiders.

    All right, now, this is just being done on purpose. There's no other credible explanation.
     
  10. Again, if the jets are so pitiful and irrelevant why are you here? You come on here day after day spewing out controversial often nonsensical talk for a team that isn't in your division, your team rarely plays, and based on your dialogue you don't think much of or fear. The even stranger part is...despite all this, over the last half decade or so the jets have been overwhelmingly more successful than the Raiders and frankly you open yourself up to constant insults.

    Is it worth defending your team against a group of fans who frankly have no direct correlation...and again..what do you hope to accomplish by insulting the jets and feeding their fans Raiders propaganda?

    DHB was a horrible pick at #7 no crappy article is going to change that. prorating DHB's stats into texas tech's offense is such a reach its amazing that the idiot who wrote it has a job. since when is crabtree t.o. jr? this is the first i have heard about huge character issues with him. really poor attempt at legitimizing an awful move.

    Well your not well informed than. Everyone who follows the NFL knows crabtree been running around with his possee and show up at all NFl functions with them . Mangini supposedly took him off the Brown board, because of a very poor attitude.

    You need to come clean to. Try talking about football and get exposed, or continue talking about everything else besides football.
