They Said What?

Bit of fun here but hopefully it takes off. On the back of the PTI claim that the Raiders will have more wins that the 49ers next season I think we should create a thread were we quote these sort of claims and make sure to revisit them once it has played out. Obviously if whomever makes a claim which works out then we'll tip our hat to them but if one of these motherf**kers says anything that turns out to be wrong then the Zone goes to WAR!

I'll kick it off with a gem from our favourite 'insider'....JLC

"As we chronicled earlier this week, NFL GMs I talk to, including some looking at coaches, think Harbaugh goes to U of Michigan"

Maybe we should wait to see what QBs we add to the roster before getting all crazy... as of now, the Raiders have better QBs.

I saw that today, saying the raiders would be better... mostly because they have QB's in place. (which is true)

They have abetter defense at the moment because they haD better coaching, our defense should be better alone from the new coaching.

Team X has more wins in a season than Team Y.

Team X has a stable quarterback situation, Team Y does not even have enough quarterbacks to have a quarterback situation.

People predict that like this year, Team X will have a better record than Team Y next year as well.

This all seems perfectly reasonable once you remove yourself from you're fandom and the fact that we're actually talking about the 9ers and Raiders.

Which is cool. Like I said if they say that then we quote it. If the Raiders win more games than us then I'll be on here giving props.

Oh I forgot one.

I think both the Raiders, and 49ers will be in the playoffs next season. -The toxic sludge 'brooding' around Hunters Point might finally be dissolving, once and for all.

They have better QBs and were 8-8. We have David Carr and were 6-10.

Why do some fans get all bent out of shape when they say their bad team is bad?

The Niners were 6-10 without a starting QB on their roster and turning over to a whole new system with new coaches. The Raiders were 8-8 with a starting QB and, though they are changing head coach, they are maintaining the same offensive system so they have continuity.

The 49ers are a bad team and they will stay that way until they prove otherwise. Hype means nothing.

Ya word, not to mention that team Y will be installing a new system on offensive and team Y could have minimal time to practice in the offseason because of the looming CBA issues

Hmm I think the point of my original post was missed. I wasn't trying to provoke a debate on the merits of the Raider's QBs but merely creating a thread to document the wild claims people make with reference to the 49ers.

And people were counter-arguing that the claim isn't "wild" in the least but very reasonable.

...and still, we continue to own them at every given opportunity. This was their year to get some get-back with Sing runnin the show and they still stepped on their d*cks.
Yeah, they have better QBs, for now, but that's the only credit I'll give them.

Yep. Another good point.

Okay...I'll bite.

Reasonable? I'm sorry but this is the Raiders we are talking about yeah? A team that recently fired its head coach, let its best player go into free agancy and has been playing musical QBs all season? Those Raiders?

Not to mention we have the draft to look forward too. Which is always funny when is comes to the Raiders. The team that went 8-8? The team that had 2 more wins than ours even though everyone has made it obvious our QB situation was worse.

Hmmmmm not really seeing how they can make such a claim myself?
