Quote:Yeah, I saw that too. Our Points per game and the raider's points per game were both 15... Not very good. But... You have to consider the issues the raiders and the jaguars both had.. Rookie QB, bad running game, and bad O-line production. So you have to look at other things, in my opinion.


1st. What other OCs were out there? Tresman? Sure. But who else besides him? Cutter? No thanks. Shannahan's kid? Pass? Gase? meh... There are concerns there...


Where as Olson has done some positive things when circumstances were right. This could very well be a circumstance where Olson will shine.


Who knows... But your concern is absolutely not unfounded. I pulled up the Raider's offensive stats too, and it was pretty darn uhhhhhhhhhhhhhglee.





LOL!



Well, that's fair. I for one won't attack any poster for having a negative reaction to this hire. I personally don't hate the hire. I'm hopefull of the hire based on my own logical reasoning.


Mainly that Carr performed really well for the 2 quarters I watched the Raiders play all season... I'm not ready to start calling for Olson's head untill we at least get some games to evaluate.




Yes. And is was the right move. Fish was bad, really really bad. Olson has a track record that is worth considering. Fish, among being reportedly a total jerk-store to BB5 was completely inept. Sorry, he was. With Olson, we have some hope. With Fish, we were dead in the water, so to speak.

On top of that, besides Tresman, name another potential OC candidate that has worked with 3 or more QBs and had success with at least 2 of them???

I'll wait... Seriously, I'll wait... I'm not sure if there are any, but if there are, I'd like to know. :-)
