BS

WHy didn't the author show the improvement in the Raiders' QBs while Moss was there? Maybe because there was none?

The reality is that he started with a team with a decent QB, a decent running game, and quality on the other end of the line (Minnesota with Cunningham, George, Culpepper as QBs, Smith as RB and HOFer CArter as WR). He went to Oakland where he had crap and performed like it, then landed in NE with Brady, a decent committe of RBs (Maroney, Morris Faulk) and Welker on the other side and he excelled again.

It ain't all about Moss.

Yeah, and when Moss left Minnesota, what happened to Culpepper?

You've got to be pretty ignorant to not think Moss is one of the best receivers to ever play the game. Seriously.

Not as ignorant as somebody who chooses to put words in anothers mouth. Nowhere in my post do I say he isn't "one of the best to ever play". I only pointed out that he had advantages. There's no way to say that other WRs wouldn't have produced in those same situations.

    • Remember our cap only counts the highest 51 contracts.  Many of these guys could be had for near or vet minimum contracts.  Cutting those contracts has no real cap ramifications.  Many of these guys played too much last year and didn't serve the role of depth players.  Even though they didn't perform as starters, they could serve a valuable depth pieces.  If we draft well, get healthy, and sign a few quality free agents, many would be in position to play a part of this team that serves both well.   Take a look at this link and you will see some interesting stats in regard to playing time.  FYI, Xavier Woods played 100% and Mike Jackson played nearly 99% of defensive snaps.  They were the only two players above 95%.  Hunt was the next highest at 93% and he missed the final game. Unrestricted FA's QB Andy Dalton - I like him, but we could get someone like Cooper Rush or Minshew for the same $$$$ we are paying him. C Austin Corbett - Incentive laden and team friendly C Brady Christensen - top swing OL pay replace Yosh Nijman TE Tommy Tremble - Lock him up now, multi-year cheap.  He's not even 25.  He will get much better. TE Ian Thomas TE Feleipe Franks - ST minimum deal WR David Moore - minimum deal RB Mike Boone DE DeShawn Williams - minimum deal (PS?) OLB Cam Gill LB Shaq Thompson - only if it is a minimum with incentives.  Think late career TD or Jeremiah Trotter.  Player coach CB Mike Jackson - He's going to cost more than we think, but keep the man!! CB Caleb Farley - minimum deal to prove it if he is FINALLY healthy S Xavier Woods S Jordan Fuller S Nick Scott S Sam Franklin - not breaking the bank.  He is ST only. S Lonnie Johnson P Johnny Hekker - if the price is right K Eddy Piñeiro LS JJ Jansen - Can't remember a bad snap over the past 10 years.  According to Google is hasn't happened since 2010.  Resign tomorrow. RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS  C Cade Mays - 3 million right of first refusal. WR Deven Thompkins - minimum deal RB Raheem Blackshear - minimum deal.  I like him, but he didn't show much when given his shot on offense. WR Velus Jones Jr. WR Dan Chisena - minimum (PS) EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS DE LaBryan Ray - It's cheap, bottom roster PS guy LB Chandler Wooten - It's cheap, bottom roster PS guy
    • Maybe he has grown, but his play calling/style was AWFUL when he was here. Please don't try to remember this with rose colored glasses after the fact.  Your average fan could predict the plays at home most of the time. We were not running an NFL offense and it 100% showed.  Glad he is doing well for himself, but the decision to let him go at the time was 100% right. 
    • And then there's this... I c certainly don't feel like parting with Canales, but the silly, speculative part of me wonders what we could get for him 😄
