Nakobe Dean Snub

[KingCorcoran]

What do the Raiders have:
New competent GM
New competent HC
New QB who just won the College Football championship and won the Heisman

Thats called REAL HOPE

What do we have:
Moron of a GM with a 30 year record of proven incompetence
A HC that no one wanted and we promoted based on comfort and nepotism
A QB who has proven to be a disaster in the post season for 10 years

Thats called NO HOPE

Only an idiot thinks they’re both the same

Ouch.

There's rumors swirling that Dean turned down an equal or slightly better deal from Jerry to go with the Raiders. Does Dean believe there's more of an upside with the Raiders than here? I know our 30 year history doesn't exactly promote confidence in our team or Jerry. Maybe we're relegated to shopping off the clearance rack....

He and Quay wanted to play together again this has been covered ad nausea.

 

[Bigrandrn]

I thought everyone wanted to play in Dallas?

Jerry still thinking that lol, most of these players today never watched the 90s cowboys play, they don’t care.

I thought Dean and CP was close, lol. If we offered equal or more money and he chose the Raiders. To me and me only means CP has no value to the players.

But Dean wanted to play w Walker. Okay.

 

[shabazz]

if you could name the raiders dc i'd jump off a bridge. for the life of me i don't know why you so desparately want to be tied to this moronic opinion

Which opinion do you speak of?

The only opinion that I can recall is that CP reminds me of a combination of Steve Spagnoula and Vic Fangio and a slice of Brian Flores.....so pretty much non-specific.

 

[75boyz]

He was one of the FA risks worth taking imo.
Same as Crosby still is.

 

[HungryLion]

Ahh yes I would concur unfortunately, we may have had a few more reg seasons in recent memory to write home about but were certainly at the bottom in terms of success and appeal

Sad to say my friend. Hoping it changes someday soon.

 

[Scottishcowboy]

And prostitution is legal there. I know, I know. Back to timeout I go. LOL

Yeh, but not in Clark county which is where Vegas is.

(I am told)!

 

[Scottishcowboy]

These young men in their 20s also factor in what to do when not playing and let's face it, Vegas has a lot more to offer than Dallas..........that COULD be a factor.

No wonder I keep getting slapped when I go there.

Just kidding. I don’t go there

He had two of his defensive college teammates recruiting him heavily.

There was no snub. Don’t be so dramatic, lol

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

And the raiders have? When did I miss that

I can help you answer that question.

You missed it in 2003....when, you know, the Raiders last went to the SuperBowl, while Dean was alive....almost a decade after Dallas last went....when Dean was NOT alive.

One of his defensive coaches went to become the DC here. Dean doesn't play for his former Bulldog players...he plays for his coach. Why wouldn't he want to play in a scheme he would most likely succeed with and for more money than the Raiders offered?

 

[Whyjerry]

No serious football player that wants to win would come to Dallas.

He plays for money. No different than every other NFL player.

I honestly didnt remember them going in 2003....I guess that makes it even more sad

 

[Redsfan_83]

There is more of an upside with the Raiders.

Brian Schottenheimer isn’t the HC.

Jerry Jones isn’t the owner.

But, most importantly, the #1 overall pick that’s going to be a QB.

The Cowboys can’t compete with that.

I have to be fair to my critics, so I have to destroy you, my friend, lol. LV hired an ancient artifact to be HC last season, and the resume of Kubiak reads very similar to BS, I believe. Mark Davis is a terrible owner, and the LVR franchise is/has been in shambles for years. They have botched the draft, failed to deliver a QB, and more so totally blew the blockbuster trade of Crosby.....it looks like they still had a decent post-season, but there are no guarantees that their soon-to-be QB is all that, or ever will be

Dean lives in Las Vegas

Not sure if that was mentioned, but being able to live in your home year round and not have to move is a big deal.

There’s the Quay Walker connection which you downplay. They’ve been talking about this long before Parker ever left Philly.

• Film Study Partnership: Dean described watching an hour or two of film with Walker after practice almost every other day during their time at Georgia.
• Close Bond: The duo maintained a strong friendship, with Dean citing their conversations as some of his "favorite memories".
• Reunion Excitement: The pair were reunited in 2026 with the Las Vegas Raiders, a move that followed discussions between them about playing together again.
• Professional Respect: Walker similarly praised Dean, noting their mutual respect and how their, Sports Illustrated "love that I have for him and just the way we both go about things,"

The cowboys are not more of a draw to young players. The Cowboys haven’t been a Super Bowl competing team since Dean was born.

And the Raiders have?

 

[HungryLion]

And the Raiders have?

No.

Point to the post where I said they have been.
