If you're not winning 10 games, you're disappointed with that level of quarterback.

I would agree with that 100%.

And I think if you're the Raiders, this would be the right cherry on top, given what they've done in free agency, right?

I think that they've done the work this offseason, as much work as you could probably do in one particular offseason to try to create the right incubation for a rookie quarterback.

You go and you get the offensive coordinator off the tree that everybody wants to pluck.

right to run your to run your program you have you know tyler linderbaum as a center i know that in the style of offense you like your center to be directing traffic right tyler linderbaum should be able to give you that even if he's not at a you know perennial all pro level of play and i do think that he can still access that when he's healthy you go and you try to adjust your defense a little bit get a little bit more stable on the other side of the ball

I think that really the last thing that you can do outside of drafting this guy is going to get a star receiver.

And it just seems like, you know, with the way the trade market went, it would have cost Vegas more than it would have made sense for them to go out to acquire a Jalen Waddle or even a DJ Moore for that perspective.

And I would say certainly for an A.J.

Brown as well.

So I think that all things considered, you're happy, I think, if you're a Raiders fan with what you're bringing into the building.

I think that, you know, to kind of circle back to the other talking point that was out today, right, when you listen to people bring up Ty Simpson, and I kind of wanted to address this a little bit more pointedly.

The thing for me that I get hung up on are quarterbacks that have a very particular passing profile.

And here's what I mean by that.

When Michael Penix played in this offense at Washington, playing under Ryan Grubb and Kalen DeBoer, one of the things I had a big issue with is everything about this offense is super deep pockets.

You're running routes in that 15, 20, 25-yard range.

And those are NFL throws.

I think that Dan Orlowski is correct.

when he said it on get up this morning, right?

That these are NFL level throws that you're evaluating.
