So I thought I was safe with lamer Jackson and Tua as my 2 quarterbacks going into this pivotal semifinal game. Then I wake up today and see Tua is listed as questionable. I freak out and go pick up Mac jones who has the raiders this week and should be the starters cuz there starter got hurt. But now I have second thoughts should I go get Aiden o Connell or is Mac jones the better option

Raiders just pulled the final straw that broke Kirk Cousins back- and without Max Crosby. Cousins is better than Mac Jones, has a better team around him, and better coaching/system. I certainly wouldn't feel great about Mac Jones this week.

Certainly don't feel great about O'Connell any week, but if those are the two options, I'd take O'Connell. Any Cooper Rush stock out there? he's been doing "decent" and has a potential shootout matchup with the Bucs

Yeah I know, that's the point I was making.

He just played the Raiders, and even though he's a better QB, with better talent around him, better coaching, the Raiders played him well enough that he got benched... so why would you expect Squishy Mac to have a good game against them?

Because the raiders defense is terrible if you ask me

Well i don't need to ask you, they aren't good, BUT, the point being... they just shut down an offense with more talent, and a better QB, and a better coach, and a better system, than what Squishy Mac is/has..

Just might be foolish to assume squishy Mac has a great matchup, when the most recent example they put out there shut down a superior offense to that of the Mac led Jags

I'm not sure what other way to say the same thing again

See, I actually like the Raiders D in the future. That is, if Pierce survives, and I think he will.

The question is whether Week 15 2024 Cousins isn’t just a broken-down mess who is now worse than Mac.

Max, Spillane, Diablo, couple of the DB's are decent.. there's reason to think they'll be okay/good sure. But they ain't there yet, especially without Max

Spillane continues to improve.

Carving out himself a nice career. Makes me proud.
