I'm a fan of Shough too. I think Pete just thought Geno still had it in him, and they could wind the clock back to 2022. But Geno looks just washed. Pete and Chip Kelly also reshuffled the Raiders OL from when they were average last year, moving them around to where guys are out of position. His own son is the OL coach, if that tells you anything.

I think at this point the Raiders must draft a QB with their first pick next year.

Yeah, that 2022 season statistically was something else - "Tier 1" type performance. Even last year, he wasn't all that bad - over 4300 yds, 21 TDs, above-average passer rating, a 10-7 record, no injuries - many owners would be satisfied with that. So, the million dollar question is - why has he taken such a dramatic decline with the Raiders?

And good luck finding a good QB in the next year's draft - it's looking as bad as this past draft. There are only 3 projected 1st rounders (Mendoza, Moore & Simpson) & none of them are a "Wow" #1 OA type QB. Arch Manning has taken a complete nose dive & is projected as only a mid-2nd if he even comes out (I'm sure his uncles are just thrilled. Lol). And Drew Allar, (Josh Allen 2.0) was the #1 OA "Wow" QB projected but sustained that gruesome season-ending broken ankle resulting in his draft status plummeting.

Michael Penix Needs Yet Another ACL Surgery and the Falcons' QB Plan Has Completely Blown Up

If you can believe it, the Atlanta Falcons' plan to give a 36-year-old Kirk Cousins $180 million only to then turn around and draft a 24-year-old and injury-prone Michael Penix Jr. does not seem to be...

It's confirmed - season ending ACL reconstruction surgery. This is his 5th season-ending injury in 8 seasons between college & the NFL! Unbelievable - 8th OA pick - what were the Falcons thinking drafting him that high?

Well, it's the Kirk Cousins show from here on out......
