Watch for him to get picked up by a well coached team and become an all-pro

Apparently they couldn’t trade him and didn’t think he’d be taken by another team if waived.
If they’re stuck with his contract, they’ll keep him tied up.
Inactive every week….

“what team is going to be stupid enough to trade away a draft pick for a proven “bust”? ”

Look at Al Davis’ draft history over the last 10 years. Too bad he couldn’t have been suspended for conduct detrimental to the team…

He plays like a Hawk. AJ to be specific.

Didn’t the raiders trade for a “proven bust” in Aaron Curry.

McClain’s play was detrimental to the team. Will he go somewhere else, maybe, but how many Raider draft picks become All-pro’s after they leave?

Other than crushing Darren Sproles his rookie year, this guy has done nothing. And that’s not some sour grapes exaggeration. I mean, truly nothing. No game changing plays. Not big hits. No picks. No forced fumbles. Nothing. He will be easily replaced. I like what MacKenzie and Allen are doing. There’s just a whole lot of trash to clean out of Oakland before they can focus on moving forward. Sad, but true.

A two game suspension? I’m sure McClain is pleased since that cuts his time in half that he has to play for his moronic coaching staff before they get the gas chamber.

Dear Reggie,
Please don’t not draft any players from the state of Alabama. They have something in the water that induces Lethargic Syndrome. Either that you they are just plain lazy.
Thanks Raider Nation

An out of control linebacker, sounds like Bengal material to me . . .

The Raiders aren’t going to release him because that set’s the wrong idea of how to go about it.

They will try to get anything they can for him after the year is over.

Or, RM has already told him not to worry. You’ll be a Raider next year with a new coaching staff that will use you to your potential.

Then they’ll use him on special teams.

I hope he goes to your favorite tea, so you can see what a mess the guy is.

He’s as dumb as they come, extremely slow for a MLB and has a terrible selfish attitude.

He’s a friggin horror show.

Seems like a Raiders contract extension is next for him. Just taking care of their own. Good Job McClain way to go!

have to think maybe Dennis Allen, is trying to play the role of Roland Earvin Jr, and trying to teach this kid how to be and act like a man…….All I can say Rolondo, it’s time to grow up.

By: racerx1225

racerx1225 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:15:57 +0000

Why we let Waufle go is beyond me.

Rolondo needs a 3-4 or he’s lost and too slow.

By: racerx1225

racerx1225 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:14:27 +0000

The most significant elements and factors that have determined, in my humble opinion, have been the implementation of the ZBS, the loss of the starting CB’s with no depth and drum roll please….. perhaps the biggest thing was the loss of Mike Waufle, which has turned the arguably best pass rush in the league a year or 2 ago to 1 of the worst with almost the the same players. Yes we lost Wimbley but we got Shaughnessy back. You see what Waufle did to the Giants def line when they beat the Pats, no, when they manhandled the Pats in the Superbowl and you see how good were were and how bad we are. We had a great pass rush with Waufle coaching the def line. Without him, we have no rush at all. Makes it harder on the Secondary and since the war is won in the trenches and both lines are floundering, so are we.

You can’t just cut him if he’s acting up on the practice field. Sets an ugly precedent. “Don’t like the way things are done? Act like a baby and we’ll let you free ride to another team.” It can’t work that way.

It’s very refreshing to see a new handle on personel with this team. This guy would have been a scholarship Raider for YEARS under Al.

He may be the only one acting ridiculous personally but he’s not the only one playing like garbage on defense. I think this offseason is gonna be chock full of players getting pink slipped and some will be players us fans didn’t see coming. Reggie isn’t working on a reload….he’s in a long term project and knows it.

He is officially a “bust”, what team is going to be stupid enough to trade away a draft pick for a proven “bust”? McClain is already on the only team that would do that.

Now if they release him…..

By: rdrs68

rdrs68 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:07:46 +0000

Would he have been suspended if Al were still with us?

By: mpoles

Oh, and I doubt he has much in the way of trade value. Poor production, very serious off-field issues, bad attitude. He’s been the starting middle linebacker on a team that has been chronically bad against the run for his entire career. Nobody’s going to give up draft picks for that.

He’ll be waived or cut in the off-season, then signed cheaply and will be expected to fight hard for a roster spot.

What a bunch of losers that come out of the SEC. Great college players that can’t make the transition to the pros i guess.

Rolando should’ve been suspended for being a Linebacker wearing a Wr/Cb facemask. It just looks ridiculous.

Clearly the Raiders don’t have the talent they need yet. However, it does make you wonder whether any team could replicate the outlaw persona they had in the 70s and early 80s. In this day and age with the internet and constant news cycle – with every off field transgression one cell phone camera away from being exposed to the world – it’s hard to see that ever working again. It’s just too much of a distraction. It seems like you have to build around equal parts talent and character to compete these days and I have to wonder whether the Raiders are still stuck in the just win baby – speed & talent over everything – scouting approach. NFL certainly more interesting when they are a good team.
