N/S Maxx Crosby will demand a trade if Pierce is not retained as Raiders HC (1 Viewer)

Previous Next
It's a good, decent attempt to posture by Maxx here, trying to force ownership and FO's hands to keep an interim HC who did a decent enough job salvaging the Raiders after Josh Mcdaniels proved for the second (and last) time he's incapable, inept of properly running an NFL team. But, I don't think ultimately he'll be successful. Mark Davis will probably get either one of Crosby's teammates, or running buddies, or some team executive to talk to him and convince him to give ______ new Raiders HC they hire a chance before he judges him as unfit.

Then again, Davis did allow Gruden to trade away Khalil Mack back in preseason 2018 to Chicago due to a contract dispute, and while Mack had a very good, productive run with Chicago and now, with L.A. Chargers, he didnt exactly morph into Von Miller 2.0 in his time as a Bear.

From reading the article it seems like the entire locker room is posturing for AP, the front office wants Harbaugh.

It will definitely be interesting

When exactly did Jim Harbaugh become some scrub, throwaway, retread HC? If anything, he's a major upgrade over what they've had since Gruden got fired for his past, racist e-mails during the 2020 season?

He's proven to be one of the few HC's who can succeed at both the pro and collegiate level, a bar that even the best, NCAAF HC of this generation (as an Auburn fan, I loathe to admit it, but history and bare statistical reality demand and reveal otherwise) in Nick Saban at Alabama. Even if, IMHO, Bear Bryant was a far better, likable, most respectable human being in hindsight to Saban, Saban is the standard by which all NCAAF HC's will be judged for the near-distant future.

The thing is, Raiders aren't a bad, struggling team and roster, what they lack is another Top 5-10 caliber QB. Honestly, if Kirk Cousins' recovery goes according to plan or ahead of schedule, I could see him being a very good addition to Las Vegas for the last couple years of his career. Love him or hate him, Cousins is probably this NFL's generation of the biggest over-achiever and that's a damn good thing, too. He wasnt endowed with outstanding duel-purpose athletic abilities, like Russell Wilson, he was drafted right behind RGIII by Redskins and most NFL scouts, players, coaching staffs assumed he'd be selling life insurance policies by now, but he persevered, worked his arse off 5-10x harder then most of his teammates, got his biggest break when RGIII became injury-riddled by 2014, and showed NFL teams what he was capable of.

Like Alex Smith before him, he won't be going to Canton once his career's over, but he'll end up achieving far more then 75-80% other NFL players with better talent, higher assumed success-ratio expectations, but fell flat on their arses and became busts, like Jamarcus Russell, Johnny Manziel, and even his predecessor, Robert Griffin III.

Letting players decide who will be the head coach is definitely the sane way to run an team in the NFL.

Why would the Raiders commit to any kind of trade with the Saints after the 3 rnd offer, and a wink nod agreement with Carr to give them nothing and sign him anyways?

Nah man, you screw around and people will not deal with you anymore.

Huh?

I don't think that's what happend with Carr because had that been worked out Carr would have singed here long before he did. That was Carr giving the Raiders the middle finger all on his own.


But, what does that have to do with what I posted or this thread?

Considering Carr was under contract and the Saints offered a 3, so the Raiders gave him permission to visit, while he interviewed with DA.

Carr and DA agreed they wanted to work together knowing they were never going to give up the 3rd because Carr was sticking it to the Raiders.

If yall think Davis will forget that, you dont know Mark Davis.

Davis has already fired the clowns who took him down that road.
