I see a few of you saying it’s hard to hate Carr because he “seems like a nice guy”. That’s not why it’s hard to hate him. I’d argue it’s easy to like him because he ensures the Raiders will go nowhere due to his mediocre abilities. If he was good it wouldn’t be hard to hate him, even if he seemed like a nice guy.

Nah who am I kidding. I still hate them.
I feel you on this. Not a fucking team I hate worse than Dungver. But Chargers/Faders just seem like secondary characters in this episode. Probably because Dungver fans were going apeshit when they were gifted Manning. But that was only a few years. They’re gonna have to deal with Mahomes (who even Wolfe was ready to get away from) for well over a decade and a half. They’ll hate us worse than we EVER hated them by the end of this run. It’s gonna be a Patriots :-) type stranglehold on the division until the goat retires. [Reply]

It’s amazing how that franchise with its history has devolved into utter irrelevance. Once the newness wears off in LV they will become another home game for opposing teams. [Reply]

I have a couple friends who live there. They say that the tickets to their games go to gamblers instead of fans. So there is not a real HFA there. As a fan of a rival team, couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. [Reply]

and you get drafted by the raiders lol
That is when you make it clear if the Raiders draft you, you aren't signing and will be in next years draft. [Reply]

So the Chiefs do not face a hometeam crowd in Los Angeles for the Chargers or Las Vegas for the Raiders, and they only face a hometown crowd for the first 2.5 quarters in Denver. [Reply]
Carr doesn't make players better due to his play. That and I actually think Carr was calling out his coach while he was crying if I were to read between the lines?

But I am somewhat exasperated by them and struggle to find sympathy. This guy's standing up there defending a piece of trash like Josh McDaniels.
He did the same stuff with Gruden.
He's something of a mindless automaton; just another cliche spewing robot who takes orders well.
Except this one gets all weepy when things are tough. And wears eyeliner.
Fuck'm...
Valid points. Can’t argue other than to say what is he supposed to do? And to date, Gruden WAS far and away the best coach he had, as criminal as that may be.
But yeah, I have no problem amending my statement to “fuck ‘em” [Reply]
