It's time....

It's time we finally send Al Davis a message. He by himself have destroyed opur once great franchise with overpaid players, terrible draft picks and firing coaches. First off speed doesnt always mean your a good player, You know what makes a good player? Smarts, attitude, work ethic, then the skill comes into play. We need a number one guy for our young qb, but the way were "helping" him he is well on his road to being a bust. Instead of drafting the second coming of Boldin in Crabtree or the 2nd coming of DeSean Jackson in Maclin, we get the 2ndcoming of Ashley Lelie. Bey is a great Reciever if he is going to be your 3rd guy but is not your first. And to top that off our baytown rivals snatched of Crabtree right in our faces. Does Al ever learn that he was ahead of the curve in the 80's an 70's but nowheis like a caveman? They should make a commercial like: draft like Al Davis, so easy a cave man can do it.... He said he wouldhire a GM and he did not. WHy do you even have scouts if you do not listen to them? He is also a hippicrite with saying spped an size wins. Our super bowl team was full of old guys that couldnt run that fast anyomre, Brown was alot slower, so was Rice an Porter was nevera burner. Maybe that team where our main core was not full of speed guys was a good thing. No how you can tell? WE WERE IN THE SUPER BOWL. Now it is our turn, We should refuse to buy season tickets, do not buy apparel, protest for the Al Davis stepping down, an when you do go to the games, bring signs saying fire Davis or anything else like that or even paper bags. Now a pray to god Bey and whoever that other guy is prove me wrong because I refuse to jumpship, but lets just be real for a second. We need to find a way to force him to get a GM. Even get Al to pay back those coaches he fired and buy the way Kiffin and Shanhan if they were given some time could have taken us somewhere. If he likes to get so involved in the team, heck let him be the head coach so he can fire himself! Heres another tip when people draft recievers, when you draft one remember if the reciever can't catch he probably is not a good reciever.  If tomorrow is as bad as today we need to go to the facility and protest or something in that matter. This ridiculous and it is getting to point where the commisioner should take a look at his health to see if he is really still capable of managing a team. We actually werenot have a bad offseason till this, we stocked up our line alot, we kept good players and didn;t go on a spending spree and even restructured Kell's an walker's contracracts. But if we wanted Bey we should have just traded down so we can get more picks or a player an have to pay him less money. Even Cable said it before the draft theat his big four was Crabtree, Raji, Smith, and Maclin. I am tired of everyo9ne screwing with us just because of our owner, I think the game against Tampa was a sign at the end of the year, when Al was not there we beat a very good playoff team an knocked them out off the playoffs. I AM TIRED OF THIS AND IF YOU GUYS ARE NOT, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU.

I suggest you go over to

Raiders.com and listen to Tom Cable. He flat out said that Heyward-Bey is much better than Maclin or Crabtree, and that the he decided upon Heyward-Bey a month ago. The problem you are having is that you have believed all the false rumors over the past two months, or listened to McShay or Kiper too much.

while kiffin was coach

he also said Russell was there guy only after he was gone did it come out that he didnt want Russell but it wasn’t up to him. Cable is a good coach but this is Al’s team what Al Wants Al gets and if it doesn’t work he blames the coach

You have a point

This draft was reckless…I mean drafting Bey that early was just stupid you could have grabbed him 15 picks later. I was so angry at Al when he didnt pick crabtree. I was so freakin happy when he felt to us that i dreamed of the upcoming season with our BIG 3. Now i dont know what to think. I mean i read Cables interview does he really think that Bey could have had 50 tds in the spread offense? Does Bey run fluid routes that Cable says he does? I’m just really confused right now. Mike Mitchell supposubly hits like Jack Tatum and Ronnie Lott. Check his vid on youtube. He hits like a beast. But then why was he rated so low?

umm

i would say more national attention. seriously, how many times have you watched ohio U on tv. …dont worry, i’ll wait. to me the whole point of drafting is getting a guy with the base talent you want, and molding him to be great… not everyone is a bomb player out the gate. matt leinhart anyone?

What did you all expect?!

Did you expect Al Davis to pick a guy that didn’t ran a 40?! Come on guys, he`s Al Davis and DHB is pure speed. A match made in heaven…now DHB has got to perform.

Just win, baby!
