The Official Oakland Raiders Offseason thread
- Thread starter 2Quik4UHoes
- Start date
As much as i bytch and complain about the impotence of this team, ill never jump ship to another team, i may not follow them like i used to but i aint ever rooting for another team
im not surprised with any bad moves anymore
hopefully some big investors in l.a. wants to buy the team and move the team..
i see little davis is way cheaper than dad by looking at the cheerleaders scandal.. so dont be surprised when u see the raiders signed alot of free agents however they are second or third tier players

mckenzie interview highlights
Q: When you talk about upgrading at certain positions, where do you think that the biggest need is, personnel-wise? Do you plan to attack that via free agency, the draft?
McKenzie: “To answer your first question, the biggest need? We have biggest needs, with an ‘s’. We’re going to attack it however way. I don’t care if it’s off of a waiver wire, if somebody gets cut. If it’s an unrestricted guy, trade, draft, we’re going to do whatever we can to upgrade this team and we will. It’s a two-way street in some of those instances, but we’re going to upgrade this team personnel-wise.”
Q: There is a lot of cap space and money to spend, but that may not mean that you’ll spend it all on one or two places. What is your strategy for allocating the money?
McKenzie: “We’re trying to accumulate as many really good players as possible. The philosophy is not to dump every dollar and cent into one or possibly two players, no. That’s not my philosophy. We’re not at that point with our team that we’re able to do that, because we have more than one or two needs. We’re going to figure out how we can best get as many good players as we can. If that, by chance, leaves enough money or cap space to get that one player, then we’ll do that, too. We’re going to do things that make sense for the big picture. The big picture is the overall of the roster.”
Q: What’s the strength of your team right now in your mind?
McKenzie: “We’ve got some good, young, up and coming players that are good role players, who can have the talent to move in as possible starters. But I like some of the depth of some of our young guys. From a back standpoint with Olawale to pair with Marcel and trying to get Rashad back. We’ve got Latavius coming back from his ankle surgery. We’d like to add the receivers, young nucleus, but we don’t have that star, so to speak. We’ve got some depth in some areas; we just need to get some top guys at a lot of these positions. Defensively also, we’ve got to get that pass rusher, get a little bigger up front. But we’ll fix that.”
Q: What message would you like fans to take with them into 2014 to inspire them to continue to be patient?
McKenzie: “We’re excited about the opportunities that are coming for us in 2014 from adding players to help bolster this roster, from the draft, as well as free agency. But we’re excited about the continuity we’re bringing back and we’re looking forward to winning a lot more games this year.”

I wish Magic would buy the team..
The only continuity this team has is a losing record, incompetent front office and coaching staff...this fukking guy

Garbage, my stadium idea way better.
here's another one propose by another group
What's your idea?Garbage, my stadium idea way better.
You've stuck around this long. U ain't goin nowhere
aint nobody goin nowhere,ima tell myself to just not convince myself we goin to the playoffs like I do every year....but im probably gon still think it again
....I just have 0 faith in the front office and the current coaches,maybe they getting into the swing of this shyt finally and will pull off a masterful draft and free agency.....or they will screw it up and blow alotve money
....ima see what they do before I stop carin,they don't appear to not care yet so I can still ride,they just appear to not know what they doin,or have a plan to stick to
Shape the stadium like our logo, built-in Raider museum/HOF to tell the stories and do the things the HOF won't, 4 major entry points from the parking lot. Each entry point with it's own statue, so you'll have Otto, Snake, Marcus, Tatum for example. Ring of honor for all the legends, at the north end of the stadium have a statue of Al looking down on the game almost on some Christ the Redeemer in Rio type shyt except he'll have his fist clenched with a snarl in his face. On the opposite end have statues of Madden and Flores looking all animated like they still coaching. Silver and Black seats which make up more of the logo, so most of the seats would be grey but you'd have those black seats to make up the black parts of the logo face.
