McNabb to the Raiders
I think this would really improve the Raiders. I really felt like their QB play was holding them back last year and getting a solid QB would fill in that gap. With McNabb, I think they are a .500 team, and our gimme 2 wins a season now need to be fought for…

We've had to fight for those gimme wins
the last few years. I’m convinced we’ll lose to the Raiders in the next year or two. It’s just so unlikely to keep extending that streak.
And it sucks, because I wanted to break the Dolphins’ record over the Bills.

What's their record?
’Cause I thought we did that last season.

The Dolphins never lost to the Bills between 1970 and 1979.
That’s 20 straight wins.

We have 13 right
That means 4 more seasons to break it. It’s a silly record but I would love to beat the Raiders for the next 4 years, I’m just not sure it can or will happen
If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong
People are going to flip the eff out when we do finally lose
and immediately start yelling even louder that the coach/GM/owner/team sucks and should all be fired.
When Russell isn’t out there, the Raiders aren’t that bad. They beat the Steelers, Eagles, and Bengals last year.

I agree
They have a couple decent receivers over there, and a really good TE. Just no one to throw them the ball.

the defense is solid as well
solid front 7 and Ashemguoaao at CB

The issue with McNabb
Is that he only has one year remaining on his contract. So any team trading for him has to look at either letting him walk after a year or franchising him. Is that really worth giving up Asomugha to get him?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
I think the Eagles are looking for a 2nd rounder
didn’t the raiders just give up a 1st rounder for Seymour for one year? Plus, McNabb will probably sign a long term deal and they can dump Russell without having to worry about the cap hit this year, so I think the money will come close to a wash (or at least close enough).
And I do think McNabb is worth a high 2nd round pick for a team like the Raiders.
by Stephen (shaynes41) on Mar 26, 2010 10:03 AM PDT up reply actions
You really think
McNabb will want to sign a long term deal with the Raiders? I want what you’re smoking.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
The raiders are close to being a competitive team
If the money is right, he’d sign a deal with a team like that. McNabb is at the point in his career where he will get one more big contract. I don’t think he can be real picky. He will probably get the best offer from whoever trades for him rather than sitting around a year and waiting for Free Agency.
I think the perception that players would never sign with certain teams simply because those teams suck is not reality. I think the Money makes the decision 95% of the time.
by Stephen (shaynes41) on Mar 26, 2010 10:33 AM PDT up reply actions
That may be
But its already be talked about that McNabb will want to go to free agency and I just don’t see a team like the Raiders changing his mind. Maybe that’s a better way to put it.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
you might be right
I don’t know why we’re even talking. He isn’t leaving Philly.
by Stephen (shaynes41) on Mar 26, 2010 11:25 AM PDT up reply actions
He might
The Eagles don’t need all those QBs over there. In my mind it is unlikely it will be to the Raiders though. Some other possible teams that might be interested in him are St. Louis, Buffalo, Cleveland and San Francisco. If the Eagles can get good value for McNabb I wouldn’t be surprised if he was dealt.
by SoCalBoltFan on Mar 26, 2010 11:48 AM PDT up reply actions
The question is
Why would any of those teams give the value the Eagles want for a one year rental?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
That's a good point
There might be a team that will offer him a long term deal though, right?
by SoCalBoltFan on Mar 26, 2010 1:37 PM PDT up reply actions
Again
I point out, which of the teams mentioned will McNabb really want a long term deal with?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Whichever one offers him
the most cash probably.
by SoCalBoltFan on Mar 26, 2010 2:06 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't think he'll be able to determine that
Without going to free agency.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
no team would give anything up
for a one year rental.
except maybe the raiders…
Gary Potter: Harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness. Energy. Block. Bad. It's like a carousel. You put the quarter in, you get on the horse, it goes up and down, and around. Circular, circle. Feel it. Go with the flow.
