Rock-A-Bye Beasley

Stop with this. AB didn't want to come here it's a FACT.

Hey just let me have an irrational level of hate for a player because he tried to jump out a window please.

The video combined with his poor play his rookie year followed by the team and fans giving him a pass for it. Especially after trading away other good young players seemingly in the name of “culture”

Nah you’re taking it too seriously. I don’t need to try to insult other posters but if I exaggerate it will be for my hate of Zay Jones. He’s my least favorite player probably of all time after that video.

It’s called hyperbole

We had Sammy. All we had to do was not trade him and not draft Zay. Then maybe we could evaluate our young QB without making excuses for his lack of weapons. Your point about maybin is interesting. At least Maybin wasn’t a negative by dropping passes. I’ll take a zero over a negative any day. Aaron Maybin also never embarrassed himself and the franchise with a naked blood video in the off-season. I’ll take Aaron Maybin today if it means Zay is cut.

Hes on the chiefs. He had the catch that would have sent them to the super bowl if Dee Ford doesn’t go Offside

What did Sammy have in his first two years? And who was throwing to him? Just curious

Over 2,000 yards in first 2 seasons with Orton, EJ, and Tyrod throwing to him. Still better than any receiver we’ve had since

What?

The star signing is atrocious

How did that work out? We got a WR (a position everyone here keeps pointing out doesn’t usually translate to immediate NFL success) who put up 2,000 yards and 15tds in his first two seasons with Kyle Orton, EJ Manuel and Tyrod Taylor throwing to him.

Maybe because the last 3 comments are “this is dumb!” 10 pages of people trying to have an intelligent conversation about player/draft pick value and player development. Surrounded by “this is dumb!” Posts to bump the thread.

Already wondering what the excuses will be for when Metcalf is dominating. I get the feeling the word hindsight will be used a lot. “Elite WR don’t win Super Bowls anyway” ”he wouldn’t have done well in OUR offense” ”the Impact of the DT we drafted doesn’t show up on the stat sheet” The only legit reason not to draft him is if the injury is lingering and serious, but I’ll leave that to the doctors.

We signed John Brown and cole Beasley

I heard an audo clip today of Terry saying the best teams in both leagues have one thing in common. Consistency of management team. I really hope he doesn’t think continuity leads to success and not the other way around. Correlation does not equal causation.

Only correct answer. Was anyone afraid of the skill players on Buffalo, Baltimore or Dallas last season? Nope, but we got the best them! i want 2 #1 WRs. The lines can be filled in with mid-late round picks and free agents. Dangerous wide receivers are very hard to get. Edit: elite pass rusher is a close second but Hughes is underrated

There would have been no risk of that is what I'm saying. They have more than enough space for the next two years. No one to re-sign in that time either. Look it up, and look at AB's contract. It would have ended right when we need to start re-signing Tre White and a year before Allen/Edmunds contracts are up. 3rd year carries only 300k dead cap if cut, or 17mil if he's still good at that age. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/oakland-raiders/antonio-brown-6702/ Give it a rest

No you don’t. You lose nothing. The buffalo bills “lose” 17 mil in cap space they wouldn’t have used anyway.

I know. But It’s all over the first two years. We have plenty of cap space those two years so there would have been no risk.

It never got to that point he scoffed at the idea. The Bills GM wanted him here and I’m glad. Almost got one of the top players at the biggest need position. Guess you’ll have to be mad a Beane now for trying.

I know that’s my point. Beane would have gladly given him that contract. It’s great for both sides.

There’s literally no risk signing him to the contract the raiders gave him.

What are you trying to say? His new deal is only 2 years guaranteed so after next year he can be cut with only 300k dead cap. You think that was the deal breaker for Beane with all the cap space we have this year and next?

Why would they be willing to trade for him but not pay him? They have plenty of cap space it’s only 3 years and the last year isn’t even guaranteed. Don’t be dense. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/oakland-raiders/antonio-brown-6702/
