Gruden loves the run first, short/quick pass offense that Brady has thrived in

Lol hyperbole much?

They have a better OL and RB. That’s it. How would Brady have looked the last 2 years on the Raiders with no defense?

The dropoff has already happened. He could bounce back some and still be bad.

Yea I did forget about him. It’s still not going to make a difference when he also has the Raiders defense and he’s 43 fucking years old.

2019 Tom Brady:

4,057 yards 24 TD’s 8 INT’s

2019 Derek Carr:

4,054 yards 21 TD’s 8 INT’s

One of the only teams that actually make sense IF Brady decides to leave New England, and it has nothing to do with on the field.

10 of Brady’s 24 TD’s last year came in the first 5 weeks.

Smart by the Raiders if true. Won’t be able to compete in the division for a decade so might as well try to get old east coasters living in Vegas to snap up season tickets.

Darren Waller is a good TE. Hunter Renfrow has 600 yards and 4 TD’s as a rookie slot WR. That’s absolutely the type of receiver Tom loves. Extremely similar to Welker and Edelman in that role.

Raiders would easily be able to snatch CeeDee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy or Henry Ruggs with the 12th pick to add a weapon.

The offense just seems perfect for him. Defense is still shit though. Can’t argue that.

There's a big issue here -- after playing in the that NE offense his whole career, is he really going to want to have to learn the WCO?

Funny. A declining Brady is still better than Carrs ceiling haha. Arguably the raiders have a better Oline, RB, FB, and TE`s and slot WR than Brady had last year. I think raiders fans must be done with Dalton, oops I mean Carr

This isnt tampering unless actual negotiations are going on

Based on what? Their production was identical last year. Brady is now another year older. If he’s better, it’s by an inch.

Just my opinion. Pats defense was legit but their offense IMO had far fewer weapons than the raiders. Yes the raiders need a number 1 wide receiver but but they have Jacobs, Waller, Renfrow and 1 or 2 serviceable players that Brady would have been successful. Living here in the Bay Area I saw most raider games and Carr is a disaster. The king of checkdowns and plays with fear. He has the physical tools but mentally is the polar opposite of Patrick. The longer the raiders keep Carr, the better for all of us.
