Good point, but if D.A doesn't work out that is on Reggie. After all he is the guy who hired D.A, a coach with ZERO head coaching experience and allowed D.A to take full control of assembling his staff. A staff that includes that bum Knapp and an unproven Tarver. Also as I posted in another thread I give props to Mark Davis for showing his face to the media and answering questions after that type of loss, he at least let the fans know he cares. Where has Reggie been though? Seems like he's letting his boss and the Head Coach take all the blame. You would think that would be Mark Davis' job to sit back and put all the blame on Reggie and Allen. Reggie has Zero experience as a GM and was chosen through a recommendation from John Madden (I think don't quote me on that) who has been out of the game for decades. Reggie might be a great talent evalutor but a GM needs to be able to do more then that in my opinion. Also the guy has made some picks, cuts, and signings from free agency, and none have been positive in my opinion. So lets not act like the guy has had ZERO opportunities to show his worth.
just my two cents, I would like to hear what Raiders fans think about reggie so far.
i think thats a fair assessment of the situation in oakland right now. I dont think reggie was a mistake to hire, but when im questiong his decision, then maybe im not completely sold on him haha but hiring DA so far has been a huge mistake. Letting him pick his coordinators was an even bigger fuck up. Special teams is horrible, offense besides carson is horrible, and defense is non existent. Mark Davis said it right, this team is regressing.
How do we go from almost beating the falcons and beating the steelers and winning 2 games in a row, to losing 3 consecutive blow outs. all over 38 points given up. Tarver and DA are in over their heads. Then knapp is just fucking knapp, the few times we won this year have been because of Palmer taking over and running no huddle and calling his own plays.
But it all boils down to the coaching and who hired them. Its sad to say it, but Hue jackson would have this team at a better record without a doubt. Especially if he hired a competent DC. But it is what it is and we'll continue to go forward and see if reggie can build off the draft.
I also dont agree with the cutting of routt. Even though hes not a good corner whatsoever, we're still paying him. I was initially okay with him getting cut because i thought chekwa and Van Dyke were going to get some reps, but no, reggie cut dyke and chekwa is on the PS. So why replace a lower caliber corner with other lower caliber corners(bartell, lee, hanson, spencer) who are in no way the future of your squad? But im okay with getting rid of wimbley, id rather have wheeler as a linebacker over wimbley.
