It’s like we missed being the LolRaiders since big Al died, but we hired Gruden to get us back to the promise land of never making the playoffs again. Here’s hoping the offense rocks at least.

Re: DRAFT chat
Had to just delete post responding to this, got it. It's not that Gruden isn't a good coach yet (who hasn't coached in forever), it's that if he imbues Jason's "Get Off My Lawn" mentality, it's more on him then the generational gap.Headhunter wrote:I would say Gruden's problem is more that he's not a good coach than any "shake fist at clouds" generational gap.Jason wrote:I fear Gruden's style will not work in this era.

They couldn't come to terms with someone on a contract. That is no reflection on anyone unless it becomes a habit. Sometimes teams and players just don't agree on value. At least the Raiders got a fair return on him.

I hate to say it, but I didn't find anything wrong with Jason's table in the first place. Looked fine to me.
