Dennis Allen's Press Conference. Nothing too exciting, did talk a little about JFF and QB posistion.

On Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel: Obviously he’s accomplished a lot at the collegiate level and has been a very good football player being the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy. I think that speaks in and of itself about how good a football player he is, so I think he’s a very talented football player. I think he is a multi-dimensional football player. I think he’s able to throw the ball. I think he’s able to throw the ball from the pocket, but he’s also able to create things with his feet. As we get more into the evaluation process, I think he’ll be a fun guy to really evaluate.

On Terrelle Pryor’s 2013 season: I think you saw a young quarterback that needs time to develop and that’s what you see with a lot of young guys, guys that need time to develop. There was times where he went out and played exceptionally well. There was times where he didn’t play as well. But those are all learning experiences. Those are all things that hopefully learn from those mistakes that we made and be able to move forward and not have those same mistakes.

On if the quarterback position is a position of need: I think that’s one of the things we’ve got to ultimately determine. That’s a position that we’re going to look at very closely. In my mind, we’ve got two young quarterbacks that have potential. Hopefully they can develop and reach that next step, but I think that’s obviously a position that we’ve got to look at.

On if next year’s starting quarterback is on the roster: I don’t know the answer to that yet, you know what I mean? I think that’s obviously a position we’re going to look at to try to improve as well as any other position. But that’s obviously a position we have to…the quarterback position is the backbone of your football team and so we have to make sure that when we go out there this year that we’ve put ourselves in the best position to have success with the quarterback position.

Who was the champion of Pryor there? Would his struggles influence the coaches' preference of a running QB? To me, Raiders should be a team looking at QB in 2015. They remind me so much of the team that drafts a QB high and gives him no line or weapons to throw to

Raiders need to nail at least two drafts before they worry about a QB.

It might be in the best interest of the Raiders long term to wait until 2015 to draft a quarterback, but after what happened to Chud, Banner, and Lombardi, I don't think any team who needs a QB will be willing to wait another year.

Yo brother. Congrats on the win in the less important hockey game.

So I met this Canadian babe tonight, she was pretty, Canadian, liked hockey and was Canadian. But she also said Boston was a shithole, now I left before getting her number or anything, but she lives in my town. I assume that since you're Canadian that you know her, around 5'8", blonde, hot, Canadian, Nice smile and named Jesse (Jessy? Jessie?), you got her number for me?

If she buys me a diner you and I will be like related, right?

They've never really wanted Pryor to be the guy, even when he was playing pretty decent at the beginning of the season, they tried to bring in Freeman, but he chose the Vikings. Reggie and DA both want a pocket passer, who can make his reads and get rid of the ball and be efficient, and they want to back that up with a power running game.

I think they would only draft a QB high if Carr falls to them at the top of the 2nd round. Otherwise it will be McG, a mid to late round rookie and probably Freeman competing to start this year. And I'm fine with that while we continue to rebuild. Pryor, I think will be traded or cut.

The only recent QB they drafted high was JRuss and that was 7 years ago and before that was 23 years ago... No one was the champion of Pryor. He was a Davis pick that kept getting chances just because he was there and we wasted a supplemental pick on him. If the team was to play today, I think McGloin would be starting.

They need a QB, but they have so many needs that I think they'll trade away their first pick.

Thank you, Raiders GAF! ATL crew seems pretty certain they will be going after Freeman as a stop gap, which seems it could be the best course, jokes aside

Only game I saw McGloin play was the Houston game, and they made everyone look good. Didn't seem like he had the arm to really be a 16 game starter for even a bad team. As far as trading back, I think they should really consider Watkins if he is still there at 5

:jnc at people fronting like they actually care about losing at women's ice soccer in the junior varsity Olympics. We're not sweating that.

You know the bump in salary cap kind of hurts the teams with all the cap room. Now SEA can keep Bennett, CAR can keep Hardy and even a mid tier like Saffold can stay in STL. I think fewer high end FAs are going to hit the market now

The only FAs worth spending on are young guys and I'm not sure any of those guys will now make it to FA

I hope we can pay grimes to keep him here for 3-4 years and not piss him off with the franchise tag. I want some good piece left over for when Ross burns it down next year.
