He gets a nice contract, starter money:
I’m obviously happy that Jimmy G landed in a good spot with a coach that appreciates and can hopefully get the most out of him. I do however need to complain about this awful propaganda blurb.
Renfrow ought to be checking our 2009 archives about how McDaniel screwed over Peyton Hillis in Denver. What an a-hole of a head coach he's turned out to be twice now.
Why did McDaniels chase after Jarrett Stidham last offseason (after coaching him for three years), tank the 2022 regular season by giving Stidham the last two starts over Derrick Carr, then let Stidham walk to the Broncos for on small potatoes backup deal? Garoppalo isn't exactly Mr. Ironman. I am getting the reinforced impression that McDaniels is flying by the seat of his pants, and not in a good way.
He had like 1, maybe 2 ok years but never produced like a first round pick who was hyped as much as him. I don’t know if this is me but it seems like a lot of black players can’t sustain success. They have 1-2 good years and then fall off a cliff whereas really good white players put together at least 5-8 really good years coupled with a slower decline. Great White te’s and lb’s are good for at least a decade, Harrison Smith has been elite for an about that, Kupp still needs to put together a few more but seems very likely. I don’t know if it’s because we mature later so our bodies don’t give in so quickly or because a white player knows any letup means being cut, or just caring about their craft more?
The Raiders released their first depth chart and Luke Masterson is somewhat surprisingly listed as one of the starting outside backers along with Robert Spillane, so as of now the Raiders have 9 White starters including 3 on defense. Maybe we piled on McDaniels a bit prematurely, remembering what he did to Peyton Hillis in Denver and seemingly Hunter Renfrow last year. It's not only how many White starters a team has but at what positions and how they're used, but while the Raiders looked to quickly be retreating to their traditional position of being one of the blackest teams in the league following the purge of Gruden and Maycuck, that appears not to be the case.

I don’t think O’Connell played well enough to be the unquestioned starter. Signing Minshew is a good move, especially since the Colts are all in with their black quarterback. Hopefully this signing also prevents the Raiders from picking one of those black QBs that are “1st round talents”.
Good move for him to get the heck out of there. The Raiders have some White talent. Enough to make them a team to check in on at least.
