I haven't been this optimistic about a raider season in a long time, our front office is finally being run a modern day NFL franchise. Especially on the offensive end of the ball with a healthy McFadden; Carson have a full off-season; and our receiving corps with DHB taking a huge step forward last season, Denarius looking a huge steal and jacoby when healthy is one NFL most explosive and best young play makers. There no reason why we shouldn't take the division and make some noise in the AFC.

I see what you're saying but I just can't picture DHB as a #1. If you notice he doesn't use his hands ever when he catches the ball, so on certain plays that he makes a reception he doesn't get the extra yards per catch that he's supposed to get cause he's cradling everything thrown his way. We rarely see his speed or what he's capable of cause he doesn't catch and run. Its cradle catch-recover footing-then get tackled. If he even makes the catch.

Moore even though it was his rookie season and he got hurt, he was leaps and bounds above DHB when he played. He was making plays and catching everything in sight left and right last season. He's got star potential. I hope DHB makes some improvements- this is a make or break season for him

DHB made big improvements as far as catching with his hands last year. Moore was not catching everything his way. He caught 33 of 76 targets. Now obviously that's not all on him but it still says something. That was one of the lowest percentages in the NFL for players with more than 50 targets. Looking forward to him stepping it up this year though. Ain't no make or break season for DHB man, he grew up and blossomed last year. He's a bonafide NFL starter now. Hopefully him, Moore, and Ford can be the new Bruce, ****, and Hakim.

I'm in here baby. Like everyone said we need our skill players to remain healthy. We had a rash of injuries last year. Hopefully this is the year we cut down in penalties. Coulda had a 10 win season last year if we just had an average number of penalties.

Also look out for the Trojan breh Ausberry playing TE. Looking for a break out year from him. Don't forget about Reese either, most talented fullback in the league. Damn I'm getting excited. If you break the team down we got the talent to make some noise
