No need from where I stand. You fought the good (though brutal) fight when the outcome was in question and now that the decision has been made you're firmly committed to our quarterback. That's good enough for me. All the rest is the past, and the past is dead and buried, unless you repeat it. Into the breech together!

Because you said this, I'm going to go into the archives and post every word Om wrote about RGIII during his rookie year. I honestly find it slightly strange the degree to which this fanbase turned on him. His career is truly bizarre. 1. Totally reinvent the game of football for 12 weeks. 2. Destroy your knee because your coach is a stubborn ass and the field was filled with medical waste. 3. Release a dumb video. 4. Be bad at football.

I have that crow, prepped and ready to go with seasoning in golden containers for that occasion. 🙂

Then the Raiders should’ve trade everything to get him🤷

First thing I notice is "best deep ball passer in the draft". That's my first b.s. line. He was that in '23, he was actively poor at that '19-'22. Go through reads, deliver on time, deliver with pressure. I don't think there's a lot of evidence for any of that piece other than the "process" which everyone seems to score well. Reads-widespread disagreement, deliver on time, definitely not true based on multiple reports, he was not throwing guys open.... I like the comments on Kliff and Jayden, happy that the transition for him should be simpler because of their mutual familiarity. I also like what he said about Top Golf, a lot of great process/best practices kind of talk. Nice. Always evaluating the quality of your process. I like his support of the men and women who kept the team "the silent service" so to speak. No mega leaking. I like the "decisive" view of his running, not sure how much of that is intuitive...but i still like the idea that he's making decisions quickly. I'd love to hear more about how he is effective at making his reads, and the correlated bit about VR at LSU (not sure if he mentions that). I'm not a fan of the Kliff role in the process, but I also feel like Peters owns this decision and didn't defer to OC/HC which is how I want it. Pass Codes on the Door: So Stay early, leave late..... My question on that is people make a point of how hard he worked '22 and '23....so, was he the same at ASU, and if it wasn't, why? "Man, not college kid". Kinda like that. He does come off as very savvy, very modern, not old had Lombardi, or the more recently canned --- hats like Gettellman and Dorsey. Really like Peters coming off that. Hasn't changed my mind about anything, but I'm very hopeful he's right, and I'm wrong about Jayden, and to be fair, I don't get the same thing as the Zach Wilson: "No way is this guy hitting" vibe, I'm just deeply alarmed at stuff. Some of the things he said in the conference I wouldn't say assuaged my fears, but they moved me more to a not cautiously optimistic, but more, hopeful that eventually I see enough to feel that way. Interesting to see that. Thanks for posting it.

this declaration invites the intriguing inquiry "could we possibly respect you less?"....

It's a long shot, but if Newton is there I think you HAVE to take him at 36.

https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/jayden-daniels-jack-jones-commanders/ Raiders Star Suggests Jayden Daniels Isn’t Happy With Landing Spot For the last several months, the Las Vegas Raiders were heavily linked to LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels. Antonio Pierce was his recruiting coordinator at Arizona State and cornerback Jack Jones was his teammate. Jones didn’t hide the fact that he thought Daniels would be a good fit in Las Vegas. However, it’s not going to happen after the Washington Commanders selected the Heisman Trophy winner with the No. 2 pick. Shortly after the news broke, Jones noticed Daniels’ body language and suggested he wasn’t happy with the landing spot. “I know that look he ain’t wanna go there,” Jones wrote in an April 25 X post.

I thought about that during the process too. I think Chicago was initially scared that Caleb might try to pull an Eli so he could play here. Particularly, after we stole Kingsbury from Vegas and there were rampant rumors that Magic Johnson, who knows Caleb and his family intimately, was instrumental in recruiting Kliff to dc. So, in order to make Caleb as comfortable as possible, they over compensated, and told him from day one that they were all in for him and they weren't considering anyone else. They were afraid to give him any reason whatsoever to think there might be an alternative to playing for the Bears. Perhaps, in the long run, it will turn out that spurning other players, and committing to Caleb was there worst mistake, and our greatest boon. .

It's honestly pretty amazing how terrible the NFL is at this. I don't completely understand why it's so hard. I understand why baseball prospects miss. You're largely drafting children who aren't going to be playing until their mid 20s, assuming that every tendon in their body doesn't snap before that. When NBA prospects miss, it's usually because of some fatal flaw that everyone was aware of when they drafted him. Like "unable to shoot a basketball well." And NBA surprises tend to be of the Giannis variety of "We knew he could be pretty good, but then he grew 5 inches and gained 50 pounds but somehow got more athletic." The NFL makes no sense. I watched this guy be good against high level competition for three years. And then I measured all his physical tools. And it was good. And then he forgot how to play football. I liked it better when cocaine could be blamed.

THere were some speculating, given setting up for the future, that Tress might elicite some mid to late round draf tpick if traded, then bring in a new punter at a lower salary. They have the luxury to not do that this year of course.

Holy Sh* please tell me this is from the onion. The falcons are officially wasted on QB's this year.....wow.

Extremely likable. Has fought through some stuff. I love it. This is not RG3 all over again as a person. Not corny, not fake. All about the ball.

THe issue many of us discovered late was the 8 first rd talent OTs nto all are good LT fits a few were RT our potential swing, but not Trent WIlliams esque. There are some other tackles their talent ceiling will be lower.

We are all fans of the team. It’s good to have differing opinions. This is the honeymoon period and I am going into it with a positive outlook. It’s been negative for so long, I want to feel bought into the front office, staff and ownership. I gave my opinions before the pick was made and now that he’s the QB, I am going to give him a chance and try to be as positive as possible. I really do hope I am wrong on my pre draft assessment on this one. Time will tell. We will cross that bridge once we get some games under the belt. My absolute preference is for him to light up the league and get us a Lombardi. I’m 50 now and I want to see us win another one or three before I die. If he’s the guy to do it, I am happy to eat all the crow in the world.

No one cares. This is a bad post. Stop making bad posts. Thank you.

It's not quantity with socal It's quality. Uh oh, he's typing, I think I done messed up this time.

Can't blame anyone for skepticism. I'm with you on all the holes in the roster, I just think the DQ effect will have these guys playing harder for 60 minutes and this upcoming season will be the true "Snyder purge" emotional bump. I took the "over 6.5 wins" last season but perhaps I was a year early. Several losses last year were simply due to packing up and giving up before the game was over. I can't see that happening with this staff, especially with how Peters structured all these free agent "prove it" deals. Dont you think some of these players might actually "prove it?" I'd be happy AF with another high draft pick in 2025. Esp with Milroe and the Sanders kid most likely declaring. Could put us in prime position to trade out and acquire a "central bank" haul...

Kiem's pod seems to suggest it's Rosengarten at 36 and goes into detail explaining that many feel he can switch to LT. Also stated since Penix is a lefty he was his blindside protecter. Different view of many here which believe he is guard.

I'm pretty certain I predicted this months ago. Or at least came reasonably close to predicting it. Regardless, I'm giving myself credit for it, which means you need to respect me more.

Right up there w/ We had a 1st round grade on this 2nd round guy and We could not believe he was still available late in the draft.

I should also add, our organization has many numbers they've taken out of circulation, mainly those in the ring of honor.

If he is that special, I hope they are trying to trade up for him.

I always thought it was a bit odd that the Bears didn’t even kick the tires around Daniels…. I could have seen him being in contention for the #1 pick. And before you say I don’t know what I’m talking about, I’m a grad student at USC so I’ve had a close look at Caleb these past two years. Definitely has some stuff he needs to work on.
