The Oakland Raiders - Return to excellence.. Sept 2014

The Oakland Raiders - Return to Excellence- 2014 
 Well Raider Nation its been over a decade of losing and being abused and laughed at by the masses. For die hard fans its been hard to take.. I mean remember people this team at one time was one of the BEST  teams in history.. But times and grimes have not been good to this team.. The Marcus Allen deal , the B jackson quick career and the John Gruden chucky firing were all curses that made this team.. go backwards,, But I know,, it's the Raiders ,, its the team that has nore coaching changes and quarterback changes then any other team in the NFL during the past ten years.. But things are changing.. why?
   Derek Carr , yes David Carr's brother , and to be honest I think he's better and he is the future for the Raiders, Sorry Schuabb,, your done.. Mentally , physically etc.. If the raiders want to win or be competitve this year and beyond,, Derek Carr is the man.. and Here are my predictions for this team..

1) They will be 8-8 
2) Derek Carr  Offensive rookie of the year 
3) Khalil Mack defensive rookie of the year 
4) Maurice Jones Drew - Comeback player of the year

I know lofty goals but this team has the potential and talent and lets not forget they did beat down the chargers last year .. and played them tough both times.. The Raiders just needed a franchise quarterback.. and guess what they finally have it.. and They have outstanding defensive players ,, with Khalil mack being the young stud. I know,, Its the Raiders,, but they are rebuilding and if not this year , the next few years they will be a team to reckon with in the AFC west.. The Chargers are still in vogue because of Rivers ,, but when he retires,, which could be sooner than later.. The raiders and could be the new leaders of the AFC WEST..WHY? Manning and Rivers have a few years left and Alex Smith is a good but not great qb for the chiefs. Which leaves stud muffin Carr and Company leading the way,, Unless the Broncos Chargers and chiefs find franchise quarterbacks,, but I don't see it on their rosters at this time,, I mean Kellen Clemens for the chargers is good but not a elite qb.. But time will tell and for you raider haters,,, yes.. laugh now,but the raiders are building things right.. Elite qb.. quality line and a aggressive young defense.. As for this year.. No playoffs for the raiders. no big wins.. But a more consistent level of playing and a chance to win,, if Carr is healthy.. and with jones drew ramming down the field,,,, and that defense led by rookie sensation Mack.. I see big and wonderful things for the raiders.. I know its still the raiders and they may have growing pains.. But they will be a tough team to play this year.. 
The Oakland raiders - return to excellence!!  
Until my next sports blog.. Raider nation... Be proud.. again this team is going to have a good season. if they can keep carr upright and let jones drew run and of course that defense pays consistent football through out the year.. Its my wild shot prediction what do you think? Until my next blog.. Take care and get ready for some football!
