PFF, has a pure hatered for the Raiders! They disrespect all of our players every year! Don't agree with with Matt's assessment of Tae! Sounds like he is making excuses for the haters!! Not buying in on what he is pitching! Sorry!
Even if Aidan continues to outplay not only the QB's in his draft class, but the '24 draft class, it will still not silence the critics who think we should have traded valuable assets to move up for a QB that would come with ZERO guarantees that he would be any better. And I'm so tired of the idiots who hated Carr, but now talk about trading for Prescott, who's really the same guy. If Dak couldn't win anything with 9 pro bowlers on the team, (Derek never had more than 4 teammates make the pro bowl, and 1 of them was the punter) why would we pay him what he wants?
It really is weird that no other QBs have looked at Brady and his 7 rings, and thought "Maybe I should take a bit less to win loads of Super Bowls?". Do they really not care about winning as long as their "all the dollars" egos are stroked, or does the machinery of the industry (agents etc) not allow them to?
This narrative that Derek Carr "took less money so his teammates could get paid" is pure gaslighting!! He continually said he took less money (and had reporters repeat the lie), whilst signing contracts for every single cent he could get. His first deal made him (briefly) the #1 paid player in the NFL, whilst he was clearly only a borderline top 10 QB - how on earth is that "taking less money"?!? His second deal paid him more than $40m per year, AND gave him an out so he could screw the Raiders and leave without us getting a single draft pick. Now most of the blame for the 2nd part is on McDaniels, his inability to adapt, coach to his players strengths, or cope with his own insecurity and ego, but the actual dollar amount? Come on - I don't know a single Raiders fan (even the pro-DC crowd) who thought he was worth more than $30-35m per year. All the talk before he signed was that maybe we could get him on a 4 year, $100m deal so we could finally build him a defense so he didn't have to make all those 4th quarter comebacks... but no, he signed for the most he could get, then AGAIN told everyone he took a bargain deal. Hey, maybe in his mind he did - maybe he actually thinks he's a top 5 QB signing for a discount because he loves the team... well, if he does then he's wrong.
Derek Carr never took less money. I don't understand where that came from. He was the highest paid QB for a short period of time. He would still be a raider if he would have taken a team friendly deal. His last contract with the raiders was 4 years 150 million.
An issue with Carr was that the raiders during his time were spending significantly more on the offence than the defence and yet the offence was unable to carry the team even though he provided cap flexibility by not concentrating his earnings as much as possible at the front of his contract (as many QBs might) .. he still earned a comparable amount to any top tier qb over over the course of his contracts
NFL owners and players are all too greedy. Ticket prices are outrageous and they are now moving to paid TV. Even mediocre players make more in 1 year than the average person makes in a 30 year career.
I stopped counting other people's money long ago. Everyone got an opinion on how much someone else should be willing to accept. My opinion, it's their pockets not mine.
It’s a money game … the salary cap makes and breaks teams .. gambling is bigger than ever, betting without considering a team’s financials is irresponsible
"Quarterback is the only position in the NFL where you be mediocre and get paid. At every other position, you can't be mediocre. If I was like Ryan Tannehill, and the most games I ever won was seven, how could you get $100 million for that? I guess that's the value of the position." - Michael Bennett
The fact the RBs are being beat to the ground and dumped or barley paid for me thinking that just like how there is vet minimums they should have positional min and max salary caps not just at QB but have an overall cap then per position min and Max
It’s not disrespectful to DA!!! ITS A MATTER OF MOVING HIM BEFORE HIS VALUE TANKS! We invested a ton of capital, it would be nice to get some of it back… PLUS WE DONT HAVE A PROVEN QB TO THROW TO HIM!
in 3 years every team will have 2 starter level qbs. that will create the bubble. we will start seeing teams not want to pay qbs top $ and take our route or one similar financially
22:00 part of why JaMarcus Russell was not successful in the NFL was that his teammates were not a fan of how much he was making .. his oline would let guys hit him vs the backup qb
I miss the days when they had to have a real job in the off season and the focus on money has shifted the dynamics of the sport in my humble opinion Hondo the fan foots the bill and if they flop they pay for it both emotionally and financially
Hey Hondo, happy to hear you. Thank you for the content you provide us. Appreciate you. Keep on being you and keeping us updated on what’s happening. Bless you and yours. Go Raiders!
The whole system has gotten out of control. Owners are billionaires and players are multi millionaires. Ticket prices have gone thru the roof!!!! More and more games have to be seen on paid TV. They are all over paid.
It’s not that simple. Because then you essentially remove the purpose of a salary cap which is to give all 32 teams a chance to be competitive! The minute you do that you make it to were the larger market teams who can pay more have the advantage. Essentially making the NFL baseball. He’ll no! Parity in this league is what has every teams fans watching every year and almost year around. The hope that they have a chance! This is the edge the NFL has. It’s why they have cornered the market and have fans watching year around. Whether it’s the draft, mini camps etc. take away parity and hope and you take away the nfls edge over the other non parity leagues!
Kawhi Leonard wanted ownership to stay in Toronto .. they said no and the team became went from the least selfish to most selfish overnight, it’s difficult to project these things
UNCLE HONDO, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR VALUABLE INSIGHT, AND YOUR ENTIRE TEAM OF TRUE PROFESSIONALS, THAT PASSIONATELY COVER OUR LAS VEGAS RAIDERS WITH YOU. THANK YOU
Speak for yourself, WE are tired of hearing about the Raiders are not his team and anyone who comes on the show that likes us he always has some slight difficulty with it and voices his thoughts negatively. Fck hondo.
We care about the Raiders, not bill's girlfriend,not whoever that guy covers or whatever he thinks. He's stupid to say Hill or Jefferson is better than Tae. Tell him to get a wig and some lipstick. 😂
It's a Matt imposter
Is that Matt heladic??? It sounds like him but he looks different somehow
Is Matt okay? Looks like he gained a lot of weight?
Purdy was the last pick in the draft 7th Rnd, not a UDFA. Peace
Oh no not Matt
Thank you for the great coverage as always. I'm concerned for Matt. He looks different. I hope all is well 🙏🏼, with everyone for that matter.
PFF, has a pure hatered for the Raiders! They disrespect all of our players every year! Don't agree with with Matt's assessment of Tae! Sounds like he is making excuses for the haters!! Not buying in on what he is pitching! Sorry!
Hopefully this gives the guys more motivation to prove the critics wrong
Devante is Still The Best WR in the game

That doesn't look like Matt.
This whole micro/macro thing is getting out of hand 😅
As long as the NFL keeps making money and spreading the wealth, I don't see a quarterback bubble anytime soon, especially in a quarterback league.
It really is weird that no other QBs have looked at Brady and his 7 rings, and thought "Maybe I should take a bit less to win loads of Super Bowls?". Do they really not care about winning as long as their "all the dollars" egos are stroked, or does the machinery of the industry (agents etc) not allow them to?
Rrrrrrrrraaaaaaiiidddders 🏴☠️🔥💯👏🏽
Uncle Hondo! Awesome timing!
Matt looks a lil under the weather! Hope your alright bro!
Gained a lot of weight
In a week?

even though he provided cap flexibility by not concentrating his earnings as much as possible at the front of his contract (as many QBs might) .. he still earned a comparable amount to any top tier qb over over the course of his contracts
I still think many fans would have preferred to have had Mack in silver and black over Carr .. but qb being the value position took priority

Sounds like those "mediocre" players made better life decisions than the people you consider average.

Bill and his 24 yr old gf isn’t about love 😂good for him
Is Matt ok? Looks very sick or having an allergic reaction.

I really enjoy listening to Matt. Reasonable, knowledgeable, straightforward and completely unbiased.
Whenever Matt is on I get so bored honestly
The fact the RBs are being beat to the ground and dumped or barley paid for me thinking that just like how there is vet minimums they should have positional min and max salary caps not just at QB but have an overall cap then per position min and Max
Hope Matt is ok he look like he had an allergic reaction to something
Like 290 for the show.
Raiders!!!
It’s not disrespectful to DA!!!
ITS A MATTER OF MOVING HIM BEFORE HIS VALUE TANKS! We invested a ton of capital, it would be nice to get some of it back… PLUS WE DONT HAVE A PROVEN QB TO THROW TO HIM!
in 3 years every team will have 2 starter level qbs. that will create the bubble. we will start seeing teams not want to pay qbs top $ and take our route or one similar financially
Matt needs to consider intermittent fasting, or maybe dial back the carbs .. hope he’s not going through a medical thing
Great show as always, I didnt even know that was Matt? He looks different... anyway I wish you both the best & GOD BLESS
I suspect he got stung or similar allergic reaction. Get well Matt (and apologies for presuming). Keep up the good work Hondo and Matt!
22:00 part of why JaMarcus Russell was not successful in the NFL was that his teammates were not a fan of how much he was making .. his oline would let guys hit him vs the backup qb
And he wouldn’t watch film. There’s that
@@rollen901 lol I assume that was not known by everyone at the time, unless coaches were sharing that information with his teammates
Go Raiders!!
Good stuff on QBs👍
Is Matt on steroids for something he's a little swollen !!
I miss the days when they had to have a real job in the off season and the focus on money has shifted the dynamics of the sport in my humble opinion Hondo the fan foots the bill and if they flop they pay for it both emotionally and financially
as always ty for the Raiders content!
LET'S FUKNG GO RAIDER NATION
Hey Hondo, happy to hear you. Thank you for the content you provide us. Appreciate you. Keep on being you and keeping us updated on what’s happening. Bless you and yours. Go Raiders!
Very simple solution: Make your top paid player not count against the cap.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I swear the things people say, its hilarious. I mean just magically make no one count against the cap while they are at it, simple.
The whole system has gotten out of control. Owners are billionaires and players are multi millionaires. Ticket prices have gone thru the roof!!!! More and more games have to be seen on paid TV. They are all over paid.
