Re: Madden Cover up for bid in 2010?

To be fair i think you should also get a sense of current events. Al Davis is the the HOF becasue of all the great things he has done for this league. he is oen of the greats of the NFL. He HAS forgotten more about football than we know. That's the problem though. he has FORGOTTEN about football. He tried to buy a superbowl ring in 2002 and that failed and now he is payignthe price.

Scooping up Warren Sapp past his prime, trading a number one pick and a solid linebacker for Randy Moss, who didn't want ot be a Raider, only to trade him away fora #4 pick to one of the few teams who could ABUSE him and they went 18-1 and were he best offense EVER with him [second best ofense ALSO had him in 98], then they draft based off of NAME and not NEED.

Michael Huff over Matt Leinart? On draft Day the raiders needed a QB and Matt is just the kind they could have used. His solution was J***ssell, and we can all guess how that is going to turn out. next, becasue we are on a defensive mind set in Oakland at this point, the one glaring weakness is the lack of a solid DT. Glenn Dorsey is sitting right in front of them and the Raiders, who are PACKED with running backs choose Run DMC. McFadden is great but NOt what would have shored up that defense and had that team set for years. [Best CB, two great young LBs a great DE that could have been helped by Dorsey adn they drafted Huff as thier Safty adn bought Gabril Wilson to help]

Not to mention the TERRIBLE job Davis is doing with coaching staffs. Things are so disfuntional that nobody wants to be a raider, not even many raider fans and they are the die hards.

Davis is destroyign his own franchise and everyone can seee it. he is letting his past sucesses blind his future decisions. he wants to win today [which he isn't] with no regard to the road ahead. In the end he isn't gettign any results in the short term o the long term and is only sinking his team deeper and deeper.

EDIT: And this is comming from a 49ers fan!

Matt Leinart hasn't exactly proven anything either. I actually thought Huff was the safer choice (but neither as safe as Haloti Ngata, but I can't complain about them passing on him :wink. I think McFadden has bust written all over him, he couldn't make defenders miss 1 on 1 in the open field last year, but it may have been a product of his toe injuries, so I'm still reserving judgement (although it doesn't sound like I am).

I think he puts too much emphasis on speed in his drafting, but it used to really pay off for him when he had great teams in the past. It could be bad luck or it could be that his old recipe for success no longer applies.
