I think people are failing to realize the part that we actually drafted some real help for Mack which potentially would’ve given us one of the best pass rushes in the league. Mack + Hurst/Key alone was about to have the team eating. Mind you, most of these Raider apologists know that this is consistently one of the worst teams in the draft. Didn’t even get back at least one proven player AND gave away a 2nd rounder when we the one getting shortchanged? Nah, fukk that.
For all this talk of not paying Mack we paid bums like Jordy Nelson and Doug Martin. Face it, these idiots never prepared to take care of Mack and didn’t even try to negotiate with him. How long til we trade away another talented player because they aren’t worth paying?
He finally got help and he could see it in the preseason but he still chose to hold out because the 14 million he was getting paid this year wasn't enough.
fukk are you talking about bruh? Jordy is getting paid 15 mill over two years which is money Mack would not have played for for even one year and Martian is getting 1.5 mil this year.
For the cost of mack we can bring in 3-4 jordy nelson types, especially on defense where we need it most. Your responses sound like you are just in your feelings and aren't thinking this out logically.
Mack is a Ferrari engine sitting in a broke down Toyota (defense) it would be cool if we could build around the engine and have a Ferrari, but with this thing called the Cap that is just not possible. we can sell the engine and build a modest well running corvette, but you're too enamored with the thought of a Ferrari that you dont see what needs to be done to actually win a race. Also, we finally have a good driver in Gunther, so this new car will run laps around the old one, but you are over here crying about some B.S based in flawed principle.
