Mayock out as Raiders GM

He stepped onto the big stage and failed spectacularly in his alleged primary area of expertise. His reputation is in tatters.

But they'll probably hire him back. If morons like Michael Irwin, Booger McFarland, Steve Smith and Skip Bayless (I could go on, but I'm sure everybody gets the point) are on TV, obviously reputation and intelligence aren't deciding factors.

After Ruggs and Arnette, I'm going to highly discount any comments he makes about character.

Hopefully they'll replace him with Kiper.

I guess I am the only one surprised that Mayock is fired since he took the Raiders to the playoffs for the first time in 5 years

He was Jon Gruden's guy, so I'm not surprised.

I feel like the Clelin Ferrell pick at fourth overall in 2019 and the Damon Arnette selection in 2020 is what sealed his fate.

He actually had some solid mid-to-late picks like Maxx Crosby and Nate Hobbs but Mayock squandered chances to beef up the roster even more by whiffing on first rounders.

He was Jon Gruden's 'fall guy' IF things didn't work out initially, but what Jon didn't know was that he actually was going to 'fall' first BUT to your point I think Mayock still would have been fired even IF Gruden didn't get exposed because of those horrible 1st rd picks that were wasted.

The Owner can’t pick a hairstyle much less a GM.

Yes, ya gotta wonder about that "bowl cut". I think Gruden talked Davis into hiring Mayock.

Thing is, they were playing us tough with Gruden. Shit kinda fell apart when he left. Gruden was probably good for 2 more wins. But yeah, me too, I thought Gruden drafted fairly well.

How many of his picks were playing on Saturday? When you figure it out, there’s your answer why he gone.

They had an easy schedule. The only playoff teams they beat were fraudulent Cowboys in OT and the how-the-****-did-they-even-get-here? Steelers, both of whom were dispatched in the first round. They were crushed in the three games they played against the teams advancing to the next round, and also somehow managed to lose to Washington, the Giants and the Bears. And they lucked out in three other overtime wins against non-playoff teams. If the Chiefs had had that schedule they'd have gone at least 14-3, even playing like ass early in the season.

Best thing I can say about them is that they actually made a decent showing against the Bengals on Saturday.
