2018 is going to be crazy for the Raiders. Carr and Mack alone will make up close to $50 million.
Time to find out how good Reggie McKenzie really is. [Reply]

But last year's Raider's squad had just about anything a young QB could want. A good veteran possession receiver, a young burner, a solid power running game and a hell of an offensive line. Their defense has arguably the best pass-rusher on the planet and enough of a decent supporting cast to be average at worst.
The Raiders were a good team last year....yet he still struggled against us and yes, I'm calling that Texans game shady as shit.
I think Derek Carr's a good young QB and if Mahomes develops on the same arc as Carr, we'd be elated. But there are no more excuses to make for him. He has the weapons to succeed and he had them last year as well. He has the experience and the opportunity. Now he has the contract that pays him like the best QB in football.
So if he's to earn that money, he'd better keep himself firmly ensconced in the MVP dialogue because there's no excuse not to anymore.
True
And there's no way he should have been in the MVP race. Look at his yards per attempt and his performances against good teams. I like him and he's definitely ascending but that seemed premature [Reply]

I'm guessing it's even more backloaded than usual though, taking into account the Nevada part of the deal. They probably just shifted a crap ton of money to years three and four, which is in his best interests from a tax standpoint anyway. [Reply]

the guy avergaed 262 YPG last season
now, don't get me wrong....im not saying he deserves 25 mil a season but 'he hasn't done jack shit' is pretty ridiculous....
Show me another rookie who went to a loser team as bad as the raiders and started immediately and turned the ship around with better stats than him...
I mean the guy is their future..and has taken them to their 1st winning season in like 15 years..'he hasn't done jack shit' to me means you havent seen this kid play
Yep.
If Mahomes has those numbers his first few years this place will blows loads so hard Jupiter will be knocked from orbit. [Reply]
Funny how you won't give the Chiefs any credit whatsoever for the last 4 years, but you're real quick to suck off the Raiders and Carr even when the Chiefs continue to have their number. [Reply]

You're a Chiefs fan that literally just said the Raiders should win the division handily while completely ignoring that we've owned them and their QB for the last two years. You give the Chiefs shit for only winning one playoff game, but you're ready to crown the Raiders before they've done jack shit. It's pretty obvious that like Clay, you're giving the Raiders way more credit than they deserve, while conituing to say shit like the Chiefs are "down". [Reply]

They are only slight favorites to win the AFC west currently....so you could be correct in that they will be our bitch still...but they ARE favored [Reply]
