Damn, I hope we claim the guy.

I mean, I don't see how you could not pick him up.

No offense, but those kind of hits drive me crazy. On the first two, he didn't wrap up at all. He just put a shoulder into a guy instead of tackling him. Guys don't always go down on those hits. And on the third, he finally wrapped up but seemed proud to get a personal foul in the process.

Yeah but maybe, just maybe not being on a team entirely populated by criminals will help him learn to harness it in a good way

That was Al Davis' last first round pick he made before he died, wasn't it?

Screw it. Pick him up and keep him in a cage like a zoo animal. That shit is history, man! A rare and prized artifact. Plus it would be a giant penis wag in the face of the Oakland franchise.

Additionally, while he isn't Willis in coverage, he is better than Belcher IMO.

**DeezNutz** · 11-28-2012, 06:15 PM

Wait, people are now coming around to the notion that Belcher is mediocre at best and needs to be upgraded? Who could have known this?

**BossChief** · 11-28-2012, 06:20 PM

He does have Crohns disease, though. Hasn't ever kept him off the field though.

RunKC · 11-28-2012, 06:26 PM

He is a hell of a hitter as seen by this play.

I hope he would be able to stay on the field though and not get in trouble off the field. Maybe DJ, Berry and Flowers could help. They are good influences.

Please, take him. There's more sloppy seconds where that came from.

I'm not a big fan of the guy, but I don't see how we could pass him up considering what we have.

It would help if we had a true vet leader to help him get with the program, but if he comes in and keeps acting like a Raider, dump his ass. Its not like we spent a high draft pick on him and need to invest much in him.

I'm almost tempted to tell you guys to be careful what you wish for...

ALMOST.

Do you think he would make our team worse? If so, I'm going to need a diagram of exactly how that would happen.

Good point. He will help ensure you get that first overall draft pick next year.

if you think Rolando McClain would have any significant impact on this team losing games. That's like accusing Belcher of being the catalyst for this abortion of a season.

What are the odds he offs Pioli during negotiations?
