Mayock out as Raiders GM

[Stewie]

Per Schefter. Not a surprise.

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.

Feeling among many Raider fans is Gruden had final say on 1st and second round picks and then cut MM loose on the rest. Who knows?

Clellin Ferrell over Josh Allen was their first mistake.

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.

Hindsight is always 20/20 because Allen's first and much of his 2nd yr I wouldn't have given ya nickel for Allen. Still not an Allen fan because he is not evolving as a student of the game and you can tell. His passing has gotten more accurate but....

I get you not liking Allen the player, fair enough, but Ferrell was never remotely projected as a top 5 pick. He didn't have the measurables to justify taking him at that spot. There's nothing hindsight 20/20 about knocking that pick.

Supposedly that was Grudens pick Mayock wanted Devin White

I really liked Arnette coming out.

But I had no idea he was a off-field issue problem.

He's talking about Jacksonville DE Josh Allen, not the QB.

Oh My bad but I don't follow college that closely and when I saw the name Josh Allen well then....

I thought he was the worst cb on his college team and had rashad fenton type measurables.

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

Also, am I the only guy who doesn't like Mayock for draft day stuff? Guy talks like he's got a bunch of dicks in his mouth, especially when he says the word "tackle"
