Boo · 01-24-2025, 08:47 PM

He should bring in his nursing home nurse.

We all hope to be in his shape at 73 though.

Can’t get any worse, and to reiterate what I already stated in the Black Monday thread, he’ll change both the organizational culture and climate for the better.

'What's your deal?' twice a year!

I have an autograph copy of this book from a book signing.

Aside from a 73 year old bodybuilder or masters athletes I have never seen a man have that physique around that age.

He has good genes and eats responsibly which many football coaches don't do.

I prefer the Roy Istvan build.

Hell no! Would be the worst decision since drafting JaWalrus. If the Raiders trade Crosby to the 9ers for the 11th pick and package it with the 6th pick to move up to 1 and draft this turd, the Tom Brady era ends before it even begins.

Crosby and #6 for #2

Make this much simpler

Works for me

I'm sure it does, but not for me. Hopefully Pete can convince Brady that a strong D Line, from end to end, is the only way to win the AFC West. Stay at 6 and take Graham, keep Crosby, re-sign Koonce, and get a healthy Wilkins back.

Pete will also want a Wagner type guy to captain the D, especially if Crosby gets dealt. It just so happens that Wagner is an FA, so a reunion isn't far fetched. Zach Baun and Dre Greelaw will also be looking to get paid, and with plenty of cap space and Pete's stable presence, Vegas could be the destination for one of them.

Who is throwing the ball? AOC?

For me, ideally, second round pick Jaxson Dart. Sanders will not be a good NFL QB, and Coach Prime will always be a distraction that nobody needs.

Sir, Your crazy!

You need to watch his JSU years to see how he wrecked the SWAC like 'Air' McNair did in the '90s. 4 years in a pro-style offense he's ready and has the pedigree. He was born to be an NFL athlete.

Yeah, and Bronny was born to play in the NBA.

Somehow lighting up weak ass SWAC defenses doesn't really convince me. Daddy has been calling the plays for him since high school. What's it going to be like when Daddy isn't there anymore? His 29 rushing yards on 399 attempts also don't convince me he has the athleticism to be a good NFL starter. I see a Kenny Pickett type career trajectory, except he'll cost much more in terms of draft capitol.

Let’s not go crazy here

You can not like Sanders and/or Daddy

He’s significantly better than Pickett from an NFL prospect point of view

I don't know about that he isn't very athletic and has a mediocre arm and look at that build...

Obviously with the "Slim Reaper" having a skinny build might not be the hinderance to have a productive career as once thought.

Isn't part of the reason why Pickett was dumped by the Steelers was because he wasn't coachable?

You couldn't rush for one yard in the SWAC.

I'll agree that he's a better prospect than Pickett, but the career will be the same. He'll start somewhere for about two years, but up mediocre stats and losing records, then get traded wherever Deion eventually lands a NFL head coaching job.

I suppose I could tolerate drafting him if the Raiders had the #1 or #2 pick, but trading up to get him is a huge mistake.
