Their lack of pass rush allows Pat to do whatever he wants when they meet twice a year, and the results have been absolutely horrific for the Raiders. What's the differential now? 86-13 or something?

So it really doesn't matter if Carr is a better QB this year (I don't believe he is), and they manage to score 20 points on the Chiefs in 2020. in a single game that is. Because without a pass rush they're going to give up 40. I guess that will be only half as embarrassing.

But after they get a couple decent pass rushers and a real QB they'll be pretty good.

That's just the thing.

They spent a 4th round pick for Crosby and the #4 overall on Ferrill. Right now, Crosby looks more like a #4 overall pick and Ferrill looks like a 4th rounder.

You can't miss when you take a pass rusher that high.
