No, I hope I'm wrong actually. That would mean Peterman is playing well. But Allen has physical skills Nate will never have.

How many QBs last year threw no interceptions?

I expect Allen will start at some point this year.

The biggest issue with this is who holds for Hauschka

How does he develop? Practice. Film study.

Nice way of not answering the question. If all one can offer are negative comments, then the question is why. What does one get out of doing so?

Are they both not fast?

The question posed in the OP: why are we not signing WRs with speed? And we have Foster and Ray Ray. There you go

Foster and Ray Ray

I would hope they're looking at other linemen. But I am intrigued to see what a Daboll offense does. I don't think we've really seen what he has in store yet.

I am very surprised; I thought McCarron was better and would thrive when he got his shot. But he didn't and Peterman really came on. So with Peterman playing better and Allen showing positives we wind up where I thought we'd be

So now we're going to put qualifiers on game winning runs?

Colts game last year in OT

Somewhere from 6-8 wins. Worried about the interior of the O line, but I'm not sure they're done tweaking there. The D will be OK.

But Charlie remains optimistic! The last two sentences make sense to me. It's some kind of defense mechanism.

I would have liked Rosen but nowhere did I say Allen was a bum. I prefer to actually see what happens before criticizing.

I perhaps was unclear in my OP. I have no problem with expressing opinions, critiques, etc. it is being incessantly negative even in the absence of any information I don't get. Opinions etc should be based off some data, but some are negative it seems just to be negative. People rip Beane and say he'll get fired. Based on one draft where he got a QB and MLB? What sense does that make. Saying we won't win a game this year, when the same things were said last preseason and they made the playoffs? Saying Allen will be a bust before he's even played one NFL game? Come on. My question continues to be what motivates being so negative.

I'll try. Just seems weird to me

I think they'll focus on the run game. The O line is much better at run blocking

I don't think realistically you can get rid of your entire interior a week before the opener.

What I am asking is what the motivation is of a "fan" that constantly posts negatives. Not at all. Justified critique is one thing. Constant negativity just to be negative is different. Like those saying we will not win a game this year. That's ridiculous. Or that Allen is already a bust. That's ridiculous. You like a few others don't want to address that and just deflect. What motivates someone claiming to be a fan to be so negative all the time?

Didn't see that. Glad to hear.

I am glad to see we have a GM and HC working in concert with a definitive plan and a definitive process. Will it work? We'll see. I do hope next year they draft all linemen on both sides of the ball

From some of the Raiders players' comments I wonder if that team implodes.

Not saying they have to get out. Just asking about their motivation. Ittakestime comes to mind.
