BK30, we might disagree on a lot of things, but we can agree on this and enjoy it together.
I take back my arguments in favor of John Gruden regarding the trade. Mack is an unstoppable diesel. Holy hell is he going to carve up the NFC North.
That trade is just a giant middle finger to their fans too. First, they're moving the team to Vegas, so good-bye! Then they trade away their best player on the eve of the season for what is essentially a 2nd and a 3rd round pick. Yes, they got 2 1st round picks for Mack, but a first round pick NEXT year is equal to a 2nd rounder this year.
If they were going to get rid of Mack, they needed at least to do it prior to this year's draft so they could get something in return for him that will help them this year!
But, no! Gruden, in a bizarre power move, gets rid of Mack because he wants to be paid for his proven performance.!
This Highlight Video of Mack is now utterly hilarious!:
"Mack is everything to that Raiders defense and without him, I honestly think that entire unit would completely collapse!"
Bwa-hahahahahahahahahaha!
But, it's even worse for the Raiders because their starting lineup is among the OLDEST in the NFL! IT's filled with veterans, who need to win NOW, and Gruden just flat told them in no uncertain terms, "we're not trying to win now! We're building for the future, like 3 years from now when both our 1st round picks will hopefully be starters and provide more impact than Mack does" - as unlikely as that is.
If I'm a veteran on the Raiders I'd be calling my agent about now and asking him to start thinking about a way to get me to some other team so I can get paid, because the team just signaled: "if you play great and exceed your contract, we're not going to pay you!"
Good luck with that Faders!
Looking forward to Sunday.

Well, we ain't Bears Fans so who cares? I'm just glad Mack isn't in this division any more and that the Faders are doomed to SUCK!
The disappointment their fans are going to feel when it turns out Gruden isn't an instant savior and their crap-ass team still sucks worse than last year, will be quite juicy.
