You had the right words “expansion franchise”. It’s exactly how I felt after I heard the Telesco news. The old Raider way is gone and the new raider not the old patriots way but the new Raider is born. Let’s go.
We'll see how it plays out. I think Telesco had more going on in house than we were able to see. On the surface it looked good but apparently his draft and clearing cap wasn't good enough to retain that job so may be bad for what the raiders want in the building. Looks ugly now but so did denver and the charges before they got a coach and qb combination. 2 yrs for the donkeys and 1 for the spark plugs. Just need to get the right guys but we are the raiders so that remains to be seen
As you know Guru, Iv lost my Henderson contact. I want to tell you what he told me a year ago. During that GM search I wanted Champ. Most of us did. Telesco came in late and got the job. Why? I was told by my friend, Tom promised Mr Davis, I’ll get you your franchise quarterback. Well, he didn’t. He sat on his hands on draft day and didn’t budge, didn’t get one. We got Min-Chow. No franchise quarterback. But the real reason Tom just got canned was Mr Davis wants the new head coach and GM to come into this thing together, and that both are all in with each other. All teams should do it like that!!! If not, there’s no trust between the two. As far as why did AP roll with Min-Chow, Tom wasn’t involved with that. AP allowed Getsy to convince him Min-Chow was the best quarterback. It doesn’t matter who was best, they both suck. In my opinion other than why I said Tom was fired, this is a big move hoping to land Ben Johnson.
