  1. Really good mobile QB, his frame may worry some people (listed and said he played 208-212). Probably needs to gain a little weight (which should come). Elevated his passing game in his final year, but you’ll wonder if it was system related or if he actually made the leap his showed on tape. For those that like pocket passers more, they’ll wish he stayed in pocket more instead of bailing.

    His tape/performance at this point make him a top 3-5 QB, really depends on what a team wants out of their QB.

  2. I don’t think it will happen, but very cool image. But Russell still makes my head hurt. Fuckin still.

  3. I will say I’m a little concerned about his size. He looks super skinny. I’d still be willing to draft him if he’s there

  4. Keep in mind that with Jimmy’s dead cap and AOC on a rookie contract, they are all but guaranteed to be on the roster next year. With that, odds are we will start AOC, and Jimmy will be the backup.

  5. Says who?. JaMarcus could throw 70 yard lasers on his knees, in paper there was no way you could miss with him and here we are! He bamboozled his way into #1 overall . So don’t count your chickens before they hatch

  6. Going with a rookie QB means going through all the growing pains all over again. Aidan initially had trouble with fumbles, but he’s gotten more comfortable in the pocket and knows how to protect the ball.

    Any rookie QB coming in is going to have rookie problems.

    We need OL, DTs, and CBs.

  7. We aren’t drafting high enough to get him. We are going to win at least one more game. He will be gone within the first 5 – 7 picks

  8. I was there in Oakland for this time…please no.

    We have a good defense all we have to fix is putting up points. Our D can hold 13-20. We need a good pocket passer who can read the game. The devil is right The QB game is changing.

  9. I want him and AP. Let them start the new era together. 10 year reign of shitting on the league screaming Raaaaaaaaaiders. It’s more than possible. Give up picks to move up. We have a solid ass squad outside of the OL and well QB. I love AOC he’s awesome but we need a qb who can pull 25 yds out of his ass on the run etc.

    Running backs do great with mobile QBs, making us not have to spend as much money there, defense has to scheme completely differently facing a QB that can run. I want the kid bad. Fuck BO Nix having to leave Auburn. Penix last name is Penix and he’s also been hurt.

    I wanna see this kid in the silver and black next season. Wear a number a Raiders QB hasn’t and lead us with the Autumn Wind.

  10. I don’t care if they draft Uncle Rico’s illegitimate child if he turns out to be a true franchise QB for the Raiders

  11. It always boggles my mind how dumb people can be.

    Does anyone actually think that JUST because QB – X played at College – Y, that every QB from College Y, from that moment on, for infinity will turn out exactly like QB – X?

    Okay, so Russell played for LSU, and? So what? That has no bearing or consequence to any QB going forward.

  12. Although I do agree and think he is a stellar option of gets to us and we want to address QB.

    Let’s not jinx it.

  13. I think he transferred from ASU, partly because of the violations that the coaching staff were committing. I Don’t think AP had much to do with that and if he and Jayden are on good terms, AP and champ will go get him. Saw Jayden play in person twice. He’s the real deal.

  14. Okay don’t get me wrong I absolutely despise in 99% of cases draft pundits going on about “character issues” in a prospect because it always has a vague dog-whistle tone to it that rubs me the wrong way, BUT, I’ve seen a couple alarming things out of him in the past couple weeks:

    -The Heisman jacket. Penix Jr had all his teammates in his liner, Daniels had the Heisman Trophy. Clear difference in mindset “we versus me” there.

    -Daniels is apparently sitting out the Bowl which I grant you is a fairly common thing these days however much I might dislike it, BUT, he’s apparently the only one of the starting set who’s reporting as a healthy scratch. That sets off massive red flags to me. You lead your team here, the team that worked their ass off for you all season long, and now on the big day you’re going to desert them because you’re afraid of getting injured and it hurting your draft stock. You trusted them all season to have your back but not in this moment? That dog don’t hunt.

    I could be wrong. I hope I’m wrong. Maybe he puts up record Combine numbers and gets a 50 on the Wonderlic and then goes on to light the league up. But I’m just not sure right now that this is the guy for us in this moment.

  15. Wtf is wrong with our rookie high potential QB? Ya’ll want another money chasing over night slack ass with ass and popularity and more blonde ass on the mind than a hard working dedicated family man with some solid natural talent?

    Ill take these bets all day.
