bartshan-83 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Being a professional talent evaluator in the Oakland Raiders' war room must be excruciating. Random Person paid six figures to agree with Al: Ummm, Al...Mr. Davis, we already passed on the best WR in the draft and now I've never heard of this Mitchell dude. How about we go with a....um...safer pick? Al: Graghhhhhh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yikes. At least in the old days he'd pick guys you'd heard of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Seriously, how happy is Crabtree right now... God, I think it would be better to play in the CFL than for Oakland... I wonder what Russel though of them passing on Crabtree for a guy who runs fast but cant catch or run routes very well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans4e64 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I really feel sorry for the Raider fans that have to endure this obsessive lunatic they have attempting to run their franchise. He has completely lost his mind. You'd think after years and years of drafting the same style players that can run, and then having them completely suck in the pros, that he'd eventually change his drafting philosophy. But no. We're going to draft the WR that can run but not catch ahead of the top receiver in this draft, and a safety that no one has ever heard of, but can run, in the 2nd round. There ought to be some sort of medical pink slip that allows the rest of the Raider organization to be able to make decisions on behalf of the mentally incapacitated Davis. What a joke of an owner. Someone needs to step in and do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartshan-83 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 I wonder what Russel though of them passing on Crabtree for a guy who runs fast but cant catch or run routes very well... Probably the same thing Ronald Curry and Jerry Porter thought when they drafted Russell. And around and around we go in Raiderland... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to step in and do something. i get your point, but is he really more of a loser than ralph wilson? i don't think so. the raiders have been to the playoffs a lot more recently than we have, never mind all the rings. i'll take the championships and then ralph can be as nutty and inept as he wants. then i will be able to die in peace.

So let me get this straight...you won't admit that Davis is more old and senile than Ralph because he won championships before he was old and senile? Ok.

apuszczalowski Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I love how everyone thinks that the league and the rest of the world think the Bills are the biggest joke in the league, when you have the Raiders. Yes the Raiders have been to the playoffs in the last 10 years, but they have also been bad enough to get many high picks, even a #1 pick. People don't think the Bills are a joke, cause htey aren't, they are just mediocre. They are a middle of the pack team that no one around the country really cares about except for their fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past 2 years the Bills have been in the playoff chase until losing their last 3 games. They are not a joke. Just below average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester43 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 So let me get this straight...you won't admit that Davis is more old and senile than Ralph because he won championships before he was old and senile? Ok. for the record, i think ralph is older, but whatever. i just think it's real funny that a bills fan can make fun of al davis when what we have put up with here is far worse. is that so hard to understand? i am not saying davis HASN'T gone around the bend. but ralph has not accomplished nearly as much as an owner. i'd trade our history as a franchise for theirs in 1 second. so really, what is there to mock? you think we are any closer to having a good team than oakland is? i don't, and it starts at the top with our "hall-of-fame" cheap-ass losing owner.

Pete Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 It is interesting that the Bears told Mitchell they were going to draft him at pick 49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el Tigre Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Most of my family are Raider fans and they are ready to lynch Al Davis. A bunch of us were at my daughters softball game yesterday listening to the draft on the radio. When the Raiders took Heyward-Bey instead of Crabtree everybody was in disbelief. There was a lot of other Raider fans there too and everybody was pissed. Taking Heyward-Bey also basically handed Crabtree to the 49er's,which made it that much worse. To those who think it's so tough being a Buffalo fan-just be glad you aint a a Raider fan,it's much worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to step in and do something. My thoughts exactly. He is out of his phucking mind. It is just unbelievable. Raiders fans just have to stick it out until he croaks.
