He was a 1 year fill in for a job no real head coach wanted. Pretty much anything short of a deep playoff run wouldn't have kept him on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeElf 787 Posted January 18, 2022 After the Raiders lost both of their 2020 first round draft picks to Sin City Stupidity, I would think that any job in the Raiders' organization is going to be kind of a hard sell until the NFL figures out that Las Vegas isn't a good place to give kids a million dollars to go play in. Good luck, new regime... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bills04 45 Posted January 18, 2022 2019: Clelin Ferrell at 1.04 was a head scratcher, to EVERYONE.. Over: Devin White, 1;.05; Ed Oliver 1.09; Devin Bush 1.10; Brian Burns 1.16; and Montez Sweat 1.26.. 2020: Ruggs. *I* don't think him being "in Vegas" had anything to do with him going .. 156MPH after midnight IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA.. He could have done THAT, anywhere. Word is he was leaving a party hosted by someone associated with GOLF. So - not specific to Vegas. Also 2020: Arnette. I don't know that much about his .. "case." Something about making a video on a social media platform, holding a gun, and making a threat of violence. Again - he could have done that in ANY big city.

So - not specific to Vegas. yeah, just carelessness and stupidity. thing is... you throw millions at a kid barely old enough to drink, this sort of thing is gonna happen sometimes. I know very little about the situation itself, but going 156 MPH in a residential area does sound like a recipe for disaster no matter how you slice it. not making excuses at all. the guy was an idiot plain and simple. The money gave the the ability to ramp up his idiocy to a level where something like this happened. I dont think being in vegas would have mattered in this case, but I could see players being more likely to get into substance abuse problems in a town like Vegas. It will be interesting if this becomes an issue going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lod001 1,235 Posted January 22, 2022 A lot of recycled, perennial losers interviewing for HC & GM gigs. I always find it funny when some loser gets hired and brings in the losers he lost with before. Like Denver did with their loser HC/OC combo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If what I read was right, any team who loses a black coach or personal member to an HC or GM position gets a compensatory after the 3rd round for 2 consecutive years. If you lose one of each (a GM and a HC), it's 3 consecutive years. That's why I'm hoping someone hires Leftwich and Bowles as HC's... that 2 picks for each coach, so 4 total picks the next 2 years.

weepaws 2,452 Posted January 27, 2022 Interesting hire by the Broncos today, with all the Rogers talk of him going to the Broncos. This might have sealed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrokh 567 Posted January 27, 2022 The Rams gave up 2 firsts a 3rd and a starting QB for Stafford. What would the Broncos have to give up for a much better player in Rodgers? He isn't a free agent. He might want to go there but it is not even close to sealed.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodgers at 38 has likely only a couple and is now on the downside of his career. Right now I'd pay more for Stafford than I would for Rodgers. even if you consider Rodgers to be the better player today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d sign up for that “downside”. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 587 Posted January 28, 2022 at 38 he has not a lot of time left. sorry but thats the truth. very few QB's play past the age of 40. so I assume that hes on the downward slope now. Even if he stayed at the peak longer than most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 587 Posted January 28, 2022 bottom line, if you get Rodgers, you get good numbers for 2-3 years. 4 if you are lucky. with STafford, Rams get 6-8 years most likely. so even if stafford is worth less today, there are more future benefits with him that you dont get with Rodgers. Thats all \i'm saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny Manziel flamed out in Cleveland of all places Pacman Jones in Nashville, okay, Nashville is a bit of a sin city of it's own, so scratch that Any way, a fool is gonna be a fool anywhere. It's hard to think Henry Ruggs wouldn't have done something equally as stupid if he were say a Panther, in Charlotte instead of Vegas. Some of these guys are complete and total fools that just happen to be great at football, I think both of these guys the Raiders drafted in 2020 fit that bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
