Gotta give Donny props. He really knows the teams. He's spouting that stuff off the fly, even throwing in new pick ups. A lot of us know a team or two, maybe more for those who play fantasy football, but Donny seems to have a real good grasp of the entire league. Looks like EA got a really good hire there in Donny.

That Raiders stuff is BS. Everyone who knows anything about sports is saying that the Raiders are drastically improved at the QB position and the defense is improved with McClain replacing Morrison. The D line is improved with Houston and Bryant replacing Warren and Huff was playing very well at the end of last year at FS. The young WR's have 1 year under their belt and should be improved as well. In fact, the Raiders should be improved at all positions this year, due to an upgrade in talent or more experience(another year) at the position. Yet with all of this, we stay the same? We should be a 74 or 75 at least.

I'm not even gonna get on the Denver rating. I have no idea how they could lose Marshall and Scheffler and only drop 2 points.

Raiders have improve but seriously anyone look like an improvement from Russell. Campbell was inconsistent last season. Some blame on the OL. When Campbell did had time to throw, he'll make a bone head mistake. He also missed a wide open Santana Moss several times last season for TD.

There isn't enough evidence to prove whether the Raiders receiving core will get better. Campbell hasn't proven to anyone as of yet if he can be a good QB in the league. His only good games last season was against the Saints and Raiders. He was mediocre every other week.

That's all you needed to say. If we were a 71 last year with Jamarcus Russell, we should be higher this year with Jason Campbell. The simple fact is that we improved. Everyone knows that.....except Donny lol.

We hear this nonsense from Raider fans every off-season.

McClain is an upgrade over Morrison? How so, McClain hasn't taken an NFL snap.You have no idea how good he's going to be as a rookie.

Huff was awful last year,and so were all their WR's.

That team lacks depth and talent across the boards. Horrible drafts and FA signings year after year have put that club behind the 8 ball from a talent standpoint.

How do we know that? They haven't played a down and are the worst run team in the league?

And Campbell? Have Raider fans ever watched him play? You'd think they were getting a legit starting caliber NFL QB with him.
