at passing on Williams
how does he improve the team more when the offense is the side holding the team back? i don't understand.I said that in a post you replied tooand who am I overrating?
I'm saying Leonard Williams will improve our team more than Cooper. Do you agree or disagree?
This goes back to my philosophy on needing a dominant defense and respectable running game to be a good team. Cooper doesn't help in either category. It doesn't really matter how good Cooper is if defenses don't respect the run and can focus on shutting him down. Look at the Cowboys. They had Dez for how long? They were 8-8 all those years until Murray started beasting and they improved defensively. I'd even say they had a better wr group in those 8-8 seasons than the wrs that took the field this season, yet, they won way more games. Look at the Seahawks, they don't have 1 relevant wr on their roster, but they were in the Super Bowl last year.
And the offense isn't the only thing that's holding us back. Defensively we were 32 in points allowed and 21 in yards allowed. Offensively, 31 in pts scored and 32 in yards gained. We need help on both sides of the ball and I'd rather use a 4th pick on a player that can improve our defense more than Cooper will improve our offense.
cowboys were in position to go to the playoffs all those years, they (romo) just fukked up when it mattered the most. your bringing stuff not relevant to this team. raiders don't got a demarco Murray or a Marshawn lynch. they have the biggest bust ever and a couple of unproven guys. a legit passing game helps open up the run game.
the offense played a big part in those defensive numbers. i posted the scores already, besides a few games the defense held down their end. if the offense is constantly going 3 and out of course the defense is going to get worn down and scored on.

Maybe cuz romo felt the need to take risks cuz he didn't have a defense or running game to rely on.
And Murray didn't become Murray (the 1800 yard rusher) until they improved their offensive line. And we don't need a Demarco Murray anyway. Look at the Chiefs. Last season they had a top 10 defense and although they have Jamaal Charles, he only gained 1033 yards, and they were a 9-7 team with absolutely NO tds coming from a WR. Look at Baltimore. Top 10 defense, Justin Forsett had 1200 yards and they went 10-6. Yes, they had a 1000 yard wr on the roster, but the year prior, they also had an 1100 yard wr, top 15 defense, and their leading rusher only had 600 yards. They finished 8-8... And if one of y'all try to tell me we don't have a Justin Forsett on our team...
that looks fukking dope
This has to happenthat looks fukking dope
i want it to happen but i don't wanna switch divisions. should have teamed up with the rams.
@blackestofpanthers , can you please state your prophecy in a complete sentence?
just for the record.
just for the record. 
Watch mark keep signing 1 year deals with Oakland...
Why would we be switching divisions?
because playing the chargers twice is an extra home game for both teams and the nfl sees that as an advantage. somebody would have to switch. too much fukking up rivalries me, i don't want neither team to leave.
I don't think either will leave the division. If there are two teams in L.A. It'll be the Rams and either Raiders/Chargers.
