I have been reading many articles and publications on the Raiders Off-Season moves as many of you have. There are likely quite a few over reaches on talent and a real chance for mal-content players to blow up the team. HOWEVER, I have come to this conclusion, is there a real difference between 5-11 with more stable players or 3-13 with a group of guys that have that have the potential to implode, in my opinion, no. Neither record gets you to the playoffs, one group makes the losing less ugly(stable group), one group can make the losing more ugly and draws more media attention(mal-contents). But in the end the Raiders don't make it to the playoffs and Raider fans are looking forward to next years draft. I believe the offseason moves have the potential to get the Raiders to 10 wins and are worth the risks taken by AL davis. I have some excitement looking towards this coming year, if nothing else just to see how the group will come together or at least which pieces will come together. And yes some of the players re-signed and brought in as free agents will work out and some won't. I am curious either way because of the talent and injury histories with each player. In the end it is an experiment, but one I am glad to see and support Al Davis for putting together. At this point I would rather have a team to support that has a real potential to win 10 or 11 games or implode vs. one that could improve only 2-3 games from one year to the next because the owner did not want ot take a risk and made only small changes.
