NZ Raiders

Am I wrong? 😂 No offense to Purdy, he is perfect for that system Kyle has going, but the system is so QB friendly & Mac Jones is an under appreciated QB, I think he can do everything Purdy can.

Every time a team is down to bottom bench / PS players / guys walking in off the street the Raiders, no matter who is coach, seem to find a way to loose. It's crazy!

For the first 2/3 games he was ranked as one of the best pass blockers at LT. Not sure why he has plummeted so much.

I had some high hopes for Leonard; but right now it looks like there is more thab growing pains. I will say the defense tightens up in the second half of games. But that also could just be teams taking their foot of the pedal in some ways & going more into lead protection on O.

Love Becker, but I think DT is by far the biggest need. I trust Klint can make things work in the passing game. I have zero trust in the interior DL beyond Tonka but he needs a lot of help.

I had some hopes Paye would be good on run defense & be able to mop up after Maxx had caused havoc. Been a disappointment so far! Wrong scheme fit maybe?

Brock Purdy. If only because 49ers could have Mac Jones playing & I don't think they would miss a beat.

Re: Vikings, what were their other options? I don't see 49ers trading Mac Jones unless they were going to significantly over pay. Who else was there? Daniel Jones ain't helping. And obviously Kyler isn't the answer either.

..had more value than a 3rd. If it was said you could have had arguably the best vet backup QB for a 3rd to mentor FM for the year would you think that was worth it? I know I would have thought so.

That is what Spy & Klint said start of the season anyway. They deviated away from their own plan by making the trade. Again in the minority here obviously, but I think the value of Kirk as a mentor all season for FM to go too, especially once he started getting game time...

I am obviously in the minority here, but I think Spy held the cards a lot more than Vikings. He didn't need to trade Kirk. The plan all along was to keep Kirk for the year, let FM learn & give him a few starts eventually to get a feel for actual game time.

Gilliam in the first 🤞

Depending on when you are there, hit up a game or two of AFL, rugby league and rugby union too if you can. Always fun to watch! Game is all done & over in half the time of NFL 😅

Yep I do. Having someone to lean on during the game you bounce off what is being seen on the field in real time is pretty critical to a young QB. You can maneuver around the draft & pick up an extra R3 pick easy enough.

All good! Haven't been for a few years, but when I last went has hipster type vibes and lots of great food places.

I'm in New Zealand. Been to Melbourne a couple times. Cool city. You will enjoy it there.

I despise self evaluation performance reviews more than I despise the Chiefs

Where in Aussie are you going to?

At least there is a R4 RB on the team!
