Keith Davis: Garcia gives us best chance to win
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, June 15th, 2009 at 5:35 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Included in a transcript of an interview with Raiders safety Keith Davis passed along by the folks at Sirius Satellite Radio is Davis’ belief that Jeff Garcia is the quarterback who gives the Raiders the best chance to win at the outset based on his experience.
Davis makes the statement as diplomatically as possible in the final question of the interview . . .
Q: Thoughts on Greg Ellis’ deal.
Davis: I’m excited, man. I was just talking to Greg on Thursday when I was leaving. I had a meeting with coach Cable and he was just asking me about Greg and what did I think about him. I was like, ‘Greg Ellis is somebody who can definitely help us get where we’re trying to go.’ I said, ‘I will go to war with Greg Ellis anywhere, any place at any time. He’s a leader. He’s a God-fearing man. He can do nothing but good for this team.’ I said, ‘If there’s any way possible, please make it happen.’
Q: So you were instrumental here in the Raiders moving forward with this move to bring in Greg?”
Davis: Um, I mean, I’d like to think so but, you know, at the end of the day Mr. Davis and Coach Cable, they had their minds made up whether they want to bring him in or not pretty much already, I think. I just kind of helped push the situation ahead, I guess.
Q: Did you speak to Mr. Davis directly?
Davis: No, I didn’t get to speak to Mr. Davis directly. I just spoke to Coach Cable and he and I just sat down and had a nice little talk about what Greg can do. And he asked if he had anything left and I said, ‘Yeah, he has a ton of ability left.’ Greg’s years in Dallas, I think we didn’t use him quite like we should have and he was just really over there resting, just chillin’, coming in only on passing downs for the most part. I think he still has a lot left in the tank, man.
Q: Thoughts on JaMarcus Russell . . .
Davis: So far, I’ve been pretty impressed with JaMarcus. He’s made some throws that I was kind of scratching my head, like, ‘Wow, how’d he get that ball in there?’ I know he has a ton of ability. I think the thing right now is just him getting more comfortable with the scheme and the system and just going out there and being himself and not trying to put any pressure on himself and just relaxing and playing football and having fun. I think it’s going to be interesting between him and Jeff [Garcia] both out there, because Jeff wants to be the starter also, so I think that’s only going to make him better. You got a guy who’s going to push him, a legitimate guy who’s going to push him, because Jeff Garcia, at the end of the day, he’s a winner. I don’t care what anybody says. He’s a winner wherever he goes. He just makes plays and he wins, so I think JaMarcus knows that he’s going to have to bring his ‘A’ game each and every day because he’s going to be pushed to the max by Jeff.
Q: Which QB – Garcia or Russell – gives you the better chance to win the game?
Davis: Me, just being in this league for the seven years I have been in it and just being around those guys, me, personally, I think Garcia is better prepared to get us that win right now. Now, that’s no knock against JaMarcus at all because who knows what’s going to happen down the road? I think JaMarcus has a great opportunity to be one of the best quarterbacks in the league. But, right now, if I had to play right now, I would take Jeff Garcia because I know what he’s going to bring to the table and I’ve watched him bring it to the table. Now, being around you asking this question, we’re into the season, about a month from now, two months from now when we get into the season, my answer may be different. But if I had to play right now, I would take Jeff Garcia. I just know what he’s done and I’ve been around him. That’s no knock against JaMarcus at all.

What a day nation! We get Ellis and Marshall wants out of Denver.
June 15th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Keith Davis just bought his ticket out of town.
June 15th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Who is Keith Davis?
June 15th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Just read this head-scratcher of a comment from Peter King in his MMQB about perceived leadership skills on college QB’s:
“The following quarterbacks in recent years have been well-respected by teammates, calm when the action began and renowned as terrific leaders:”
1. Charlie Batch
2. Patrick Ramsey
3. Tim Rattay
4. A.J. Feeley
5. Andrew Walter
AW, a terrific leader???? Did I misconstrue his pouting body language the last 3 years? What a joke.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I am VERY happy about the Greg Ellis signing. We needed better talent at the position and if I had my way, Greg Ellis would be starting at LDE and Derrick Burgess would be starting at RDE. Ellis is a very good pass rusher and hes better against the run. Burgess is in his contract year and he would have to be forced to have an incredible year on the RDE where hes not as comfortable but we’d get the best out of him and I think we could get at least 10 sacks each from these 2 guys and have a pretty good pass rushing unit with Warren and Kelly adding to the mix in the middle and Ellis takes pressure off the whole line.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
I was mad when I first saw the headline about Keith Davis’ comments but after reading what he said, it wasn’t all that bad. Honestly, Garcia is more ready than Jamarcus today but JR has more upside for the future. I think Keith Davis clearly said that properly.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
I dunno, I think I’ve seen this movie before, remember Trace Armstrong?
June 15th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Keith Davis was a db with the cowboys.
He said nothing wrong. If the Raiders wanted the QB who will most likely them to a victory RIGHT NOW, Jeff Garica is the man. But the Raiders are looking at the journey and not the marathon and that makes Jamarcus Russell the man. Should Russell get hurt or play totally awful, then Garcia will step in.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
I thought I saw JaMarcus Russell go down to Tampa and throw Jeff Garcia out of the playoffs, No?
June 15th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Davis’ comments were purely based on the fact that Garcia has played in playoff games and JaMarcus hasn’t. Either one of them will be good for us because because we gonna run the crap out of the ball. Garcia is better on 3rd downs IMO because he’s a better scrambler. But JaMarcus is a gamer. Things are going to look better because we may have finally gotten rid of all the remnants of the Bed & Breakfast and Kiffen stuff.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
JaMarcus did beat Tampa and Garcia but Bush (running game) had something to do with it.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
When Jeff Garcia needed to win the last game of the season, to get into the Playoffs, at home, against JaMarcus Russell and the Lowly Raiders, what happened?
June 15th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
Monte Kiffin’s defense quit 5 weeks prior to the last game. Thats what really doomed the Buccaneers thanks to Lane Kiffin.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
What Davis said, in the context, was not all that bad. However, it is hardly his place to be quoted on who his preferred starting QB would be for the a team he has been part of for less than a month.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
KK, Armstrong blew out his achilles as a Raider, Ellis in 2006. Not the same. Ellis has 2 seasons healthyish. Moreover, it is pre-camp, so at worst Ellis is just a potential Armstrong at this point…
June 15th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Fellas,Keith Davis has his opinion,hes a player,Im not,but JRuss has got to be the Starter unless he gets hurt!We all have seen Garcia,glad hes on the team,but I see him as second string,PERIOD.Cant stand it when he HOPS,anyway,Vegas Raider may have a point,how could a guy playing in Dallas,media hot spot,make that statement?How long has he been here? Dont get it
June 15th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
Its painfully obvious Keith Davis doesn’t read this blog. If he did read this blog he would know that Russell is a “BONAFIDE” NFL QB
June 15th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
We would be wasting time arguing over who should be the starter. It is a good problem we have if that’s the case. We need to worry about winning AFC West.
Can we now stop run?
Can we run?
Do we have a #1 WR?
Can we protect our QB?
This team is shaping up on paper and there will be some difficult cuts in August.
These are the 3 most important positions left for us fill:
1. LT
2. MLB
3. #1 WR
June 15th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
THX KK!!
June 15th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Com’on Jerry – If you are trying to imply anything by this write-up you are reaching big time. I see absolutely nothing wrong with what Davis said. Absolutely nothing. Heck, I even agree with him – to an extent. And its only because of Garcia’s experience. Russell is just a more talented QB with a brighter future. Period! So you develop your brightest QB to be one of the greatest. You don’t let him rot on the bench!
And who the heck is Keith Davis? 19th string? Puhleeze!
June 15th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Mista,
#17,LMAO
June 15th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Hay O ever hear of an Audi A8 ?
June 15th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Nothing like your 3rd or 4th string S, who you picked up off the scrap heap, throwing his hat in on who should start at QB, and telling Jamarcus indirectly that he isn’t better than a guy who wasn’t offered A CHANCE to be a starting QB among the other 31 teams.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
I don’t think jerry is doing anything this time, but giving us a fix!!!
I’m the first to tell Jerry not to add his twist, but this……C’mon guys!! Give the man a break!
Thank you Jerry, Great job sir, and keep it up.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
As I have written some weeks ago. All signs point to Burgess’ departure.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
Thanks Vegas
I was about to say, where are the Teams who were beating down Jeff Garcia’s door?
June 15th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
R8,
No!!!
Is it a nice German car, Drives great, but has a bad resale value?? No!!
June 15th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
I got an A4 ..obviously I haven’t made it there yet …but I love my A4 …next step A5 ….and I’m stopping there.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
R8,
Where have you been, found work?

R8,
I love the A8! I put it next to the BMW 750 and Benz S500+. Great car!
June 15th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
A reliable source tells me that Al Davis is seriously interested in trading for disgruntled Bronco receiver Brandon Marshall. Look for a trade before training camp, possibly a swap for Raiders’ RB Michael Bush. Stay tuned friends.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
R8, and T
They are great cars, too bad about the resale value. It’s getting better.
They make great cars for Drivers, just like BMW.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
Why are A8’s so expensive? Over 100K, get out of here, I never knew they were that expensive. My boss has an A6 and while nice, it doesn’t seem all that special.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Man i saw an A8 not sure about the model # but what a car…it was getting on the freeway sounded like a F1…i had never heard of one thats why i asked…Found a little..working with the little woman..she is trying to but togeather a big deal right now a can use my help..been reading but not posting,Cant stand the haters
June 15th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Trade Burgess, Walter, and 2nd OR 3rd RD pick for V Wilfork.
The pats need a pass rusher, and a backup QB. They drafted Brace in the 2nd, and they can’t keep Wilfork. ( demands a huge contract).
Make it Happen Al, trade Burgess, Walter, and a draft pick for V Wilfork!!! Please!!!
June 15th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
And what role did Jamarcus have in Garcia losing? Russell doesn’t play defense. Its a team game. If BUSH didn’t get “forced” into the game Garcia’s team likely would have won. Whats your point KK? Are you saying Russell won the game single-handed? If not for BUSH that game could have gone either way!

It’s SPECIAL!! Trust me!
Best Driver’s car next to BMW!!
June 15th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
I thought BMW A6’s were nice ….at $100,000.drove one last year…was doing 120mph and didnt know it till the sales guy said ” you may want to slow down ” lol..I had justb never heard or seen one is why i asked the CAR GUY lol
June 15th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Perfect. Russell needs a couple fires lit under his ample butt.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Vegas,
The only bad thing about that car us it’s resale value. You buy it new for 80k+, and 2yrs later you sell it for 40k. As Atkinson would say, it’s SOFT!! lol
June 15th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
KK you act like Russell would have beat Garcia if he was handing off to Justin Fargas instead of BUSH.
We all know better!
June 15th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
R8,
M6! They don’t have an A model as far as I know.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
My bad…
June 15th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
R8,
The M5 is a 4dr, and about 120k. Great car!! Best Driver’s car ever, next to the M3, M6, and the old 850 CSI!!!!
I love BMWs!!!
June 15th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
O,
You would know better than me, your the resident expert. Nothing against the car, just didn’t realize they were that pricey.
I like your trade idea, but I am iffy on these deals with guys in contract years. You have to not only trade for them, but than you have to give them a huge contract. Last year we did that for Hall, and that didn’t work out so well. Wilfork is no Hall, but I like the way they are building this team with youth and inexpensive yet productive vets.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
R8,
I have not bought a carsince my 2nd one. I was 16, and my car is 14yrs old. (94 Nissan Altima). Once I’m done with my EDU, (if God is willing) I want to buy a BMW. As a reward for my hard work, and cause I haven’t bought a car in over 15 years!!
June 15th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Well let me ask you little haters what did Jeff Garcia do against the Lowly Raider Defense, when he needed a win to get into the Playoffs and keep his J-O-B?
June 15th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
M6 i drove was a 2 door convertable…paddle shifters on the steering wheel..had a back seat…lol my effing lab couldnt fit back there let alone a person…but what an automobile..was a dealer demo and they still wanted $100,000
June 15th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Vegas,
I know what you mean about the trade, we gave a lot huge contracts the last few years.
I still think we need a Beefy Run Stopper, like Ted Washington.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
In the Tampa Bay game. You know the one Jeff Garcia had to win. His passer rating was 74.9 against the Lowly Raider Defense, AT HOME, To get into the PLAYOFFS. lol
June 15th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Ya O i drive a 99 Ford F150…oh its is 4 wheel drive lol…250,000 plus miles on her replaced the tranny at 124,000…she doest leak a drop of anything… burns it but doesnt leak…and past smog this year so i cant complain
June 15th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
R8,
I never drove an M6, I drove an M3, M5, and the 850CSI.
If you think the M6 is nice, look at am 850 csi, made in the early 90s. What a car back then, still great for today’s standards. Maybe a little low in HP now, it was around 430+.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Now JaMarcus Russells passer rating for the Tampa Game was 98.9, imagine that.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
To add to KoolKell’s point a little, if Garcia is such a respected clubhouse guy and vaunted leader, why did his team pull off a colossal choke job at the end of last year, pretty much quiting, and than was not offered to come back?
June 15th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Vegas,
I want to become rich, so I can buy nice things like BMWs.
See, I have no problem with the Rich! lol
June 15th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
O,
We do need a run-stopper, maybe two of them. I think our Defensive scheme this year is going to be banking on our offense scoring more points, and hoping for fumbled snaps and holding penalties and going for turnovers. It may be ugly at times, but we still should at least compete for the division this year. 9 wins should win it, 10 at the most, and maybe 8 again.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
KoolKell,
Those TD passes that Schilens and JLH caught didn’t throw themselves!
These anti-Russell guys are killing me. The guy that completed 67% of his passes, threw 2 TDs and basically managed the doggone game in the huddle is worse than the guy that lost 4 games in December down the stretch including a must win at home at the end.
I also didn’t see Tampa in any hurry to re-sign Jeff Garcia. Garcia is a backup QB. Heck, Gruden didn’t even start him over Griese for part of the year.
Killin me!
June 15th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
Vegas,
When I’m rich, I’ll come back and visit Vegas!! If I don’t visit, you’ll know why.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Yeah…..yeah….yeah!!!!
Two good back to back days!
LAKERS WIN THE TITLE….AGAIN!
Great team win yesterday lead by the black mamba Kobe Brynat and he gets vindicated and redeemed.
Sorry haters! lol
Then the Raiders make a solid pickup by signing a big strong stout, leader at DE like Greg Ellis!
Great two days Nation!
June 15th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
The Raiders went 1-4 against the 3-4 last year.
With our whole Div going to a 3-4, the Raiders will face it 10 times this year.
Let’s hope practice makes perfect.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Guy that sold me my car also sold BMWs before then. He basically said BMWs performed better but it’ll cost you much more. So for the money and for performance you’ll actually use the Audi works fine. At the time a comparable BMW was at a minimum $5k-10k more expensive.
The A5/S5 runs very well against the comparable BMW 330/335.(I believe the Audis may actually run better).
The A8/S8 is a beast for a car. S8 carries a Lambo engine V10. Audi owns Lambo of course. The one they had in the showroom had a fridge and all in it w/ spots for carrying wine bottles. High class.
(About the prices …just like houses …cars were overpriced too …hence the 6yr loans and all … I believe some banks were giving 10yr loans if you can believe it …ppl just couldn’t afford them …hence the ridiculous financing)

I’ve never seen so many “fans” against their own QB, in ONE year. Who improved dramatically.
But many never wanted him (for some reason

June 15th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
A study I came across showed that many ppl took out home equity loans to buy their cars during the bubble.
Anyways. Clearing I like Audis. I like BMWs too. If I had to say which is better; I’ll say BMWs overall – but Audi is coming on fast. I just don’t like what BMW did w/ the new models …looks to Japanese/American imo …almost like they sold out to sell more cars. Except a few of the models like the 6 & M focusing specifically on cars.
Peace

Garcia does give us the best chance to win.
When he’s starting for Tampa Bay!

Now I hear BMW is making a “M” SUV ..talk about diluting the brand …talk about selling out …IMHO!
Out
June 15th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Garcia was playing against a weakened secondary. Not to mention the Raiders 3rd string running game and all I ever read is about Cadillac going down.
Garcia is here because he isn’t a legitimate starter anymore, if he were he wouldn’t be here….period
If you really look at it we beat some good teams down the stretch with a lot les talent than we have going into this year.
I’m going to say it now the most improved player in the league this year will be Darren McFadden. Russell will be in the top 5 most improved. By mid-season you’ll tell me the same.
Check with me later

I’m a broker, not much fun these days, especially when my company merged with another and trimmed my cushy, salaried trading desk job a few months ago. Work exclusively on commissions, get paid once a month, and is very stressful, but great when you have a great month.

Why would Keith Davis go there? He’s been on the Team a MONTH.
A special teams scrub from the Cowboys, gives him a wise old perspective on the Raiders?

======================================================
Bush isn’t going anywhere, stop the bogus rumors already. Fargas is going to do what’s best for the team and just ride the bench until he’s needed.(I Hope)
It would be funny if we could some how trade Javon Walker back to the Doinks for Marshall. Maybe Fargas and Javon for Marshall. LOL. yeah right, but that would be funny. I’m just glad that the Donks are in complete disaray.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
This is a prime example of a non-story that gets sensationalized by media and over-zealous types. SO FREAKIN WHAT that Keith Davis thinks right now Garcia gives the Raiders the best chance of winning. It’s one man’s opinion. Mind you a guy who has been w/ the team all of a couple months. He’s not here to evaluate the QB position. I know he’s an “inside” guy being that he’s in the NFL, but you have to consider the frame of reference w/ this and take it w/ a grain of salt. Unless of course you’re JaMarcus. Then you use it as motivation.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
And seriously, may the best man win. If Davis’ opinion is shared by Cable and company then they better damn well put Garcia out there until proven otherwise.

June 15th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
I get your point R8rpaver, but not sure about the choice of words. I for one would have to wonder why he’s saying this if it’s during the season. But yeah I don’t see that happening and I don’t mean to say that it shouldn’t be reported…just considered w/ perspective. I got a little worked up…haven’t posted in a while…WHATUPNATION! lol
June 15th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Only 2 months left and the facts will come out.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
I always feel optimistic as hell in June.
I’m thinking 9 wins. If they get off to a good start, more.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Does Garcia give the Raiders the best chance to win right now? Only a moron would say different.
Should Garcia start? Nope. This team isnt close to winning anything yet, starting Garcia would be a waste of time. Russell is the most important player on the team and if he dznt pan out the franchise as a whole is funked. Sink or swim, its Russell. Even if its sink, sink then swim.

Does Garcia give the Raiders the best chance to win right now? Only a moron would say different.
——————-
I take offense to that. Of course only a moron would think offense wasn’t intended.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Y would you take offense? You arent dumb enough to think at this very moment that Russell is better than Garcia.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
I do, I do.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Looks like Keith Davis just became “Raider of the year” at Raiderbeat.com
June 15th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
What is the best way to develope a young QB? Just look across the bay and see what happens when you throw a young guy to the wolfes that is not ready. IMO the RAIDERS have handled JR the right way, haveing only one years as a starter in LSU,hold out his first year here.The Kid has only 17 starts in the NFL at the hardest position on the field, 2 differnt head coaches 3 play callers, a very inconsistent line and no help at the WR position… Get off his jock…For every Ryan ,Flaco there is way more busts out there. Look at Quinn, Smith..what have they done for there teams…Zero..IMO JR will be just fine …Sit back and enjoy watching a team develop and grow togeather as a TEAM..We will have the last laugh F the haters
June 15th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
So do I, not to mention that some of that was evident in the last game of the year. Garcia’s arm is shot. His decision making has become suspect and he of all people knows it. Talk is very cheap.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
In one or two games he may look OK but after that Garcia will struggle badly.

A reliable source tells me that Al Davis is seriously interested in trading for disgruntled Bronco receiver Brandon Marshall. Look for a trade before training camp, possibly a swap for Raiders’ RB Michael Bush. Stay tuned friends.
—————————————————————
Okay Mr. Davis wouldn’t cut awful Lamont Jordan so the broncos couldn’t get him is gonna give them a 245 beast we would have to play twice a year sure.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
Garcia, can’t operate from the pocket. His Receivers never know what he’s going to do.
Stutter, stutter, jump pass.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
R8rpaver, . “Sit back and enjoy watching a team grow together”. My sentiments exactly.
Stop stressing and enjoy the ride. It’s been a while since we’ve been this talented and had a young QB to watch develope as well.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
“I don’t care what anybody says. He’s a winner wherever he goes.”
Like Detroit and Cleveland?
June 15th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
JLH’s confidence has to be up.
Chaz Shilens confidence has to be up.
I don’t think Russell or Mac ever had any confidence problems.
Please god let em stay healthy.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
KK, that is a great discription of Garcia at his worse.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Did anyone catch the T.B Panther game on NFLN this weekend ? Gracia cant even throw the ball 30 yards.. he under through almost every pass over 20 yards
June 15th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
KK,its stutter,stutter,HOP,pass,please get it Right,on another note,training camp next month,Yes,RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!
June 15th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
LOL @ Priest!! Russell is the dictionary definition of inconsistent. Your comments are so frought with homer bias that its embarrassing for you. Do you or dont you work for the Raiders?
June 15th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I would have preferred the time and energy go to Andrew Walter. At least he has the arm to operate the same offense as JaMarcus.
I don’t understand Jerry, that it’s good to have a backup that plays different from your starter.
If Russell goes down, the Raiders would have to play a completely different game. A game not practiced.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
I know im going to catch alot of $hit for saying this but.. I sure hope Javon has a great year this year and can put all his past behind him.. I really think he can be a difference maker if he can stay healthy..and can give JR some experiance at the WR position
June 15th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
someone tell denver to stop taking our drama! and they say teams dont mimick the raiders!!!
June 15th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Paver,
When was the last time Walker was a difference maker?
June 15th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Dude
Russell over the last 7 games of 08′ he had a passer rating of 91.9
After getting a new HC in game 5.
What is it about that, that’s soooo hard to fathom?
http://www.nfl.com/players/jamarcusrussell/profile?id=RUS539462
June 15th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
KK : AW has made his own bed so to speak.. dont you think.. I mean if he wanted to put in the time and go to QB school attend the OTA’S work hard to prove everyone wrong why didnt he. IMO he is the one that gave up on the team not the other way around
June 15th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
I saw that game on NFLN before and saw it again today. His arm is shot. How he kept that job as long as he did is the reason Gruden got fired. Garcia is terrible. He is a check down passer……..period
Russell’s inconsistencies can be understood for now, while Garcia’s cannot.
I’ve answered that ? many times and most everyone in here knows the answer. It doesn’t matter what I say, someone else will say I’m lying.
Makes it easy for me to understand from a microcosmic standpoint what Kobe went through with the Shaq question. No answer will suffice.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
And Mario Henderson!!!!
Did he make a stark difference or what? It was like night & day.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Go Go Garcia!
June 15th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Nah Paver
Walter has had enough of the Raiders, Josh McNown, Daunte Culpepper, Grabowski, Al Davis etc.
But STILL they screw with him.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
KK I agree with #106 why AW has taken this stance is puzzling at best. He has the talent to start in this league but he’s taken himself out of the spotlight where other teams might see his talent and come after him. If he were smart he would’ve played it like Matt Cassell someone whom he compares to favorably.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
I would settle for a yes or no answer.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Dude I said…now go back and read very carefully…CAN BE IF HEALTHY..

I know im going to catch alot of $hit for saying this but.. I sure hope Javon has a great year this year and can put all his past behind him.. I really think he can be a difference maker if he can stay healthy..and can give JR some experiance at the WR position
June 15th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
I for one agree R8rpaver. I think he will be a factor one way or the other(as trade bait) he will show he’s still a talent in the league.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
KK : I agree with you 100% he has had enough…But if a guy want to play on the league dont you think he should show some effort…I think he got in a very bad situation with Shell and cant get out of it as long as he is in Oakland..do i think he can play QB… you bet i do..in the right system and the right coaching he could be a very servicable QB in this league..he just got Shell shocked so to speak…Everyone would if all season it was 7 steps and duck
June 15th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Jamarcus Russell is a better QB NOW than Jeff Garcia. In the Tampa game Garcia was out-played plane and simple. It was Garcia who missed wide open recievers in the game, including on fourth down when he could have extended the game. And for those who say that it was all Micheal Bush, those same don’t say that Ryan’s development was solely based on Micheal Turner? STOP HATING, it’s stupid….
June 15th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
I asked, now go back and read very carefully, when was the last time he was a factor?
Priest,
What, pray tell, hold on while I laugh my arse off, would Walker bring in a trade?
June 15th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
You can’t just sit and pout, no one would be attracted to that. He needs to show he’s a fighter and a competitor. If he wants another chance.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
I just hope his career doesn’t end up like poor Tuiasapopo.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
I don’t see a big deal with this. The only thing that matters is that JaMarcus keeps improving. It doesn’t matter who gives us the best chance to win RIGHT NOW. It matters more that JaMarcus continues learning and is given the tools to succeed.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
If he showed that he can regain his form who knows?
Walker isn’t over the hill, if he were to make some big plays in preseason who knows?
June 15th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Oh and I’m happy with the greg ellis signing. And Jerry, I guarantee he’s got more gas in the tank than Spires did. Of course that’s no promise that he wont be cut.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Walker isnt over the hill? Are you freakn kidding me?!!! What constitutes being over the hill then??
If he makes a few big plays in preseason?? Are you abolutely serious? No way you could be so ignorant as to suggest a few big plays in preseason would somehow make a team give ANYTHING up for that P.O.S. Walker.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Very well said Darth…The whole team need to grow togeather that includes players and coaches..And you MUST have stability at the coaching position for everyone to grow and learn as a TEAM..We are to young to keep changing systems every year and expect to win on a consitant bases
June 15th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Tui got another chance he just isn’t a starter AW has the talent now he needs to develope……..period
Paul Hackett is the perfect QB coach for pocket passer like AW, he is missing out on very valuable training because he got bad breaks. While we can blame Al Davis and rightly so, he has brought in some capable coaches to help him, now he just needs to avail himself.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
I agree with Dude, I think Walker is done. Had 4 or 5 surgeries on his knees!!! He is done!! IMO
June 15th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
We will soon see, wont we?
June 15th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Gnite fellas.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
He can make a few plays here and there, but not a full game or even an entire season. If it wasn’t for all that money he’s making, I would keep him as a backup. But that’s a very expensive backup at close to 5 Mil a year.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
When I first saw this headline I wanted to tear Keith Davis a new one. But after reading the interview, it just seems like he has seen a lot of Jeff Garcia over the last decade plus and has probably only seen JaMarcus play in a few May/June practices and doesn’t know all that much about him. I don’t think it was a wise answer but it definitely wasn’t like he was taking a shot at JaMarcus.
Of course, you know the BSPNs and other national media JaMarcus haters are going to be all over this quote. Trying to stir the pot and suggest that Jeff Garcia might actually have a shot to win the starting job. Which is just not true at all. JaMarcus is the starter. Set it in stone.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Good night KK.

Do you work for the Raiders?
June 15th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Dude,
How does it feel when I agree with you? For me, it’s very weird!! lol
June 15th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Raider O, that might well be true, but he’s here for some reason right?
I know this doesn’t mean much, but a player and the HC have said that Walker looks good. Now I know that the GM’s in here are much more knowledgable but that should at least stand for something, right?
T Howard practiced with him and Cable is the HC, then again Dude is no joke himself.
Yeah Walker’s done…

June 15th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Nothing wrong with an opinion Raider O…..
I’m doing the same. I don’t know what Walker will do, it was just my opinion based on the coaches comments.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Priest,
Walker hasnt even practiced. How could they possibly say he looks good?
June 15th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
What were the coaches comments?? Where can I find them??
This will be the point where Priest mysteriously dissapears.
June 15th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Just going on what I heard from a coach and a player. But as I said, in 2 months we’ll all see for ourselves.

Where can I find these statements??
June 15th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
On Raider.com Cable mentioned Walker’s progress. I know I heard it somehwhere and it was very positive from what I can remember.
But listen Dude I’ve had a very pleasant day talking with Raider fans I’m not in least bit interested in a shouting match with you. OK it aint that serious!
June 15th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
Sir,
I do demand an apology, I never said I was a Homer! lol
June 15th, 2009 at 10:11 pm

June 15th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Dude: so let me get this right….if you have kids and they make a couple bad choises in life then you automaticly turn on them and tell them they are no good ??? … Lets say they get a divorce after 40 years of a preaty good marrige… does that mean they are worthless?????$hit dude everyone make bad choices me and even you but do you abandon them because of it…As for me i say F no…but on the other hand you choose to hate…then why stay a fan…just move on
June 15th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
BHP,
To be Fair Bro, Cable did say Walker was looking good and he’s improving, but a mnth after that statement, he said Walker was still recovering. You can’t believe everything you hear.
June 15th, 2009 at 10:18 pm

Post about 150 thru 158 ,who cares,its all about OPINIONS,can we all focus on the up and coming season! Its really ONLY about the Raiders,but,I look forward to Priesttj and his comments,not only cuz hes a homer,well informed,and CIVIL!!He is a ,gosh darn it ,a RAIDERS fan!!!!!!
June 15th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Look no one said Walker was going to the pro bowl….All that was said was he has the ability to be a difference maker no more no less…And by the way i for one hope he is…as a RAIDERS fan WHY in the f would i want anything else for anyone that puts on the uniform…I for one choose to look at thing half full..not half empty…
June 15th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
That’s exactly why I said we’ll all know in 2 months. What someone looks like now or even in preseason is so different from the regular season that you have to wait and see.
But Walker has seen pro defenses he’s been successful. Now if he’s lost that much ability in this short of time OK. But the Raiders have built a great history with players that were believed to have fallen off their game.
So we’ll see soon enough.
June 15th, 2009 at 10:26 pm

KK – Tampax’ defense could not stand up to the physicality of the Raiders offense…that has to be one to remember…but Russell did well hitting some good passes…but this time the OL and Bush just plowed into the Bucs in the 4th Q…instead of falling apart like we did earlier in the season. Garcia is still a good QB and if he were the QB for the Raiders against the Bucs in that game he would have been the winning QB. The Raider OL did the major damage.

Chris in NY,
Why on Gods good earth would ESPN hate Jamarcus Russell? Seriously, answer the f in question.
—————————
Nothing personal against JaMarcus, they’re just trying to create news and kick easy targets. I believe it was Al Franken who correctly pointed it out in one of his books: the media doesn’t have a left/right bias; it has “biases” toward sensationalism and laziness. This applies to the sports media as well.
To paint a picture that JaMarcus is going down in flames is sensationalistic because any time the No. 1 overall pick is a bust — particularly a would-be franchise QB — it’s a) shocking for everyone after that prospect was hyped up to be the next great wonder; and b) devestating to the fans of that team who had such high hopes for that player.
It’s laziness in this case because the Raiders have become such an easy target to dump on because of their record for the last six seasons. It’s easy to presume they got it wrong again and kick them while they’re down, again. No need to do real analysis of how he’s progressing. Just spout the same old story line.
There’s an additional factor in this case too. Two of the most prominent NFL analysts at ESPN — Tom Jackson and Schlereth — are former Donkeys. They are hardwired to hate the Raiders. Not to mention the surplus of annoying, over-sarcastic little weasels over there that ESPN specializes in that get off on dumping on any athlete or team that isn’t among the top few they worship and whack it to.

Here here, Keith Davis! I don’t even know who you are. But it’s great to see we have players taking it to Al. It’s a trend and it’s steamrolling. It started out with notables such as Gannon, Brown, Sapp, and now the no names are bucking up and telling the press like it is. And Davis, of course, is absolutely right. Not only does Garcia give us a better chance of winning, he’s our only prayer.

And what role did Jamarcus have in Garcia losing?
—————————————————-
Once again, one of the dumbest statements anyone could possibly make. What a moron. Considering Jamarcus was the opposing Q, with arguably less weapons, going against a top 10 Tampon Bay defense, and thoroughly outplayed Garcia, I think he had a big role in Garcia losing, but hey, you have to actually know something about the game and not be stupid and drunk, to understand. And BTW, Keith Davis “I think JaMarcus has a great opportunity to be one of the best quarterbacks in the league.” That sounds pretty bona fide to me. But then, I’m not a grade A moron.
June 15th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
so who can starting a (second string) QB at best be good for the team…only prayer…our only prayer is Russell

Exactly. Keith Davis might think Garcia is a winner but I don’t think Garcia has a career winning record. And Let’s say we do start Garcia and he wins 9 games. What do we do the next year?? Sign Dan Marion?? Now, your bonafide overall number one pick Q has been standing around for another year. That helps the team develop?? Absolutely Ridiculous.

Here here, Keith Davis! I don’t even know who you are. But it’s great to see we have players taking it to Al. It’s a trend and it’s steamrolling. It started out with notables such as Gannon, Brown, Sapp, and now the no names are bucking up and telling the press like it is. And Davis, of course, is absolutely right. Not only does Garcia give us a better chance of winning, he’s our only prayer.
———-
How is it steamrolling? You prove what a complete moron you are. Did you watch Garcia play this year or are you just talking out of your a$$ again? Please go and watch some Garcia games from last year, especially the last game where he played like sh!t against a defense w/o the best CB in the league that determined their playoff destination.
June 16th, 2009 at 3:12 am
BTW, I saw nothing earth-shattering in Davis’s statements. Sounds he’s just more familiar with Garcia that’s all.

June 16th, 2009 at 6:43 am
That is what I am hoping for Dirt Lot…a 3-0 to start the season!!! But, it is also good to know that we have a proven back up…Russell will bring his “A” game because he knows what is waiting in the shadows!
June 16th, 2009 at 6:45 am
An 82nd string DB of little note thinks that the washed-up never-led-any-team-anywhere noodle-armed yet feisty husband of Carmella gives the team the best chance to win?
Maybe Keith Davis is living in a past that never quite happened. Maybe he’s just plain dunderheaded.
There are only two scenarios at QB for the Raiders. JRuss healthy or JRuss injured. C’est ca.

My thoughts exactly…Russell should take Garcia’s leadership skills, but earlier reports is saying that he distances himself from him. Maybe Garcia is a threat to Russell, and I hope that makes him play better (like he has the last 2 games of last year and 1 game that he beat Garcia head to head).
June 16th, 2009 at 7:08 am
If Jeff Garcia’s (still wish it was Jerry Garcia the Raiders had signed) “leadership” skills are so evident and so important, why then has the man been allowed to leave without ceremony every team he has been on?
Garcia’s “leadership” has led to what exactly?
June 16th, 2009 at 7:13 am
I think that he has been allowed to leave because he still believes that he can start in the NFL. At Tampa, once they fired Gruden, I knew Garcia will be next. Hey…at least Russell could feed off of Garcia stil believing that he can start at 39. Also, Garcia has lead three teams to the playoffs. Russell could use that.

Also, Bill Russell was part of that Celtic team that won 8 straight but with only what? 8 teams in the league at that time? That is why there is an * by their earlier championships. And yes, to be fair, the Minneapolis Lakers won 5 of 6 through that time too. But hey, LA now has 10! (The city, not the org).

Perhaps Keith Davis full well knows that his days as a bit player in the NFL are rapidly coming to a close and his statements were calculated to get himself a job as gardener at the Garcia household. That way he can catch an occasional glimpse of the Mrs. when she lounges by the pool.

watch the play at 1:13 closely where Russell, who is very good at selling the PA btw, finds his third receiver and zips it to Zach underneath. i dont care what Keith or anybody else says cause he is getting better right in front of us and if you guys cant see it then imo you are a hater pointblanc.
footwork, pocket-presence, timing, accuracy, leadership (patting Henderson on the back when he replaced Harris on the blind side, telling him just give it his all and thats all he could ever ask, is showing leadership lady&gents. trusting his teammate and, at the same time, his coaches), generaly staying out of trouble etc etc.
doesnt throw many INTs but needs to cut down on the fumbles on the other hand, agreed, but he is WELL on his way to be a very good QB in this league in a year or two, when he is about 25……
….and Ellis, i really think he chose us cause he wants to play DE in a 4-3. and he could get around ten sacks in our defense if he stays healthy imo. he is definitly a stud. also, his experience as OLB makes him a good fit for the zone dropping from the DEs i see us feature on defense let alone his willingness to share his knowlege with the youngsters. really like this addition.
now if we could somehow get the cheap-ass pantriots to trade V Wilfork for Burge/Sands and a 2nd if neccesary, maybe we could do some real damage this year….oh, check out the last play of the highlites for that matter, Mr Bellychick.

Keith Davis needs to learn how to win a playoff game before he runs his mouth.
June 16th, 2009 at 9:26 am
Split locker room? LOL. Keith Davis is only being ignorant. If you have no basis to judge a QB (and he admits he knows nothing of Russell), why would you go on record as preferring his backup?
In the locker room itself, there is likely no doubt who is better. The returning players should be convinced by Russell’s play at the end of the season, and the new players should be answering that question with a sincere “ask the coaches, I just got here” type remark.
Davis was supposed to be a poised vet and an example to the youngsters. He may still be an example…of how to get yourself cut.

Chris in NY,
Why on Gods good earth would ESPN hate Jamarcus Russell? Seriously, answer the f in question.
—————————
Nothing personal against JaMarcus, they’re just trying to create news and kick easy targets. I believe it was Al Franken who correctly pointed it out in one of his books: the media doesn’t have a left/right bias; it has “biases” toward sensationalism and laziness. This applies to the sports media as well.
To paint a picture that JaMarcus is going down in flames is sensationalistic because any time the No. 1 overall pick is a bust — particularly a would-be franchise QB — it’s a) shocking for everyone after that prospect was hyped up to be the next great wonder; and b) devestating to the fans of that team who had such high hopes for that player.
It’s laziness in this case because the Raiders have become such an easy target to dump on because of their record for the last six seasons. It’s easy to presume they got it wrong again and kick them while they’re down, again. No need to do real analysis of how he’s progressing. Just spout the same old story line.
There’s an additional factor in this case too. Two of the most prominent NFL analysts at ESPN — Tom Jackson and Schlereth — are former Donkeys. They are hardwired to hate the Raiders. Not to mention the surplus of annoying, over-sarcastic little weasels over there that ESPN specializes in that get off on dumping on any athlete or team that isn’t among the top few they worship and whack it to.
^^^^^^
Tanya Jackson and Marissa Schlereth are “prominent”??

June 16th, 2009 at 9:42 am
Jackson and Schlereth are always anti-Raider. My god Jruss was born with an absolute amazing arm it will take more than that but some those throws in Dknights link were just sick and his footwork is getting much better Chaz looks like a giant at wr in those clips he is huge.

Keith Davis is getting compared to Williams because of not one but two shootings, one outside a strip club when he was shot in the hip and elbow and the second shooting hitting him in the head and thigh during an attempted carjacking. Cut him now!
June 16th, 2009 at 9:52 am
Guess the Cowboys should be looking at Jon Kitna as the starting QB……
=======================================================
Cowboys tell Romo to shape up
Word from Valley Ranch is Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett had a come-to-Jesus meeting with QB Tony Romo this off-season where he basically told him to get his butt in better shape. Now nobody is accusing Romo of being Val Kilmer, or even Byron Leftwich. The description used was “bottom heavy” and the message was more “We love you but… ” than butt kicking. What The Redheaded Genius told him was, basically, become a better finisher. Cowboys coaches believe Romo has a penchant for showing up for training camp in just good enough shape to allow him to get out to a good start in the first half. And it falls apart in the second half because he does. He is not able to outrun the same players. His mistakes go up. He is not the same QB.

This is the same Keith Davis Parcells signed then cut after he made 0 tackles in three preseason games, only to be resigned by Dallas and cut a second time after the season. I bet he does not make the Raiders final roster.
June 16th, 2009 at 10:02 am
THe Raiders should trade Burgess and a 2010 1st rounder for Vince Wilfork.
Did you guys know that Tommie Kelly and Gerard Warren are in the top 10% of all DTs by salary?
Terdell Sands is in the top 25% of all DTs by salary!
Vince Wilfork is a bargain compared to any of these three.
So trade Burgess and a number 1 for Wilfork. No way the Pats take on Kelly, Warren or Sands and their big contracts!
June 16th, 2009 at 10:13 am
Jeff Garcia would be an excellent starter for the Vikings. A vet team with Super Bowl talent. For the Raiders, Garcia would be ceding the season. Garcia needs to be in a West Coast, conservative passing attack to be truly effective. There is no upside to this guy and he’s hardly the difference maker. Otherwise the 49ers, Browns, Lions and Bucs would have kept him. The coaches know that Garcia is not a QB that can put a team over the top. Sort of like Chad Pennington in Miami and Jon Kitna in Cincy/Detroit.
Guys like Garcia and Pennington are caretaker QBs. Win a few games and bring a lot of energy but eventually run out of gas. I also think of Josh McCown like that too.
The Raiders have a young team that is growing together. To take Russell out of that opportunity to grow with this young team would be committing franchise suicide.

June 16th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Lefty12,
I think most of these people are missing the boat on developing a quarterback. It takes time. Unless you have a team that has a legitimate (non-upset) chance at a Super Bowl or deep playoff run….you always look to develop the younger guy over playing a quick fix veteran.
Those old Raider teams in the 80’s were loaded up on both sides of the ball. In the 70’s they developed Stabler.
Next to the frequent coaching changes, the constant turnover at the quarterback position is the next reason for the struggles over the years.
Develop Russell and let him QB the team for the next decade or so.
June 16th, 2009 at 11:22 am
S&B that is it exactly. any talk of Garcia becoming our starter is just plain stupid,by whoever says it.actually,this guy is probably correct-if the games were played today,Garcia probably would give us a better chance to win.he’s been in the league for years ,knows defenses and can read them better at this moment.right now he has a better chance,but by the end of the year or next year he won’t.

I don’t give a rats @$$ what he thinks about running the squad he does not run the show.
JAM will be the first string QB mark my word. Garcia only plays if JM gets hurt or he throws three interceptions each game than he is yanked!
The Raiders are just vreating competition from a proven veteran passed his time. They saw what the Cardinals were able to do with Warner. Except Garcia does not have the arm strength or accuracy as Warner at this point in his career.
June 16th, 2009 at 11:36 am
CJ-the Raiders aren’t creating anything.Garcia is here to be a backup and nothing more.even if JR throws 3 ints every game,he will continue to be the starter.with the Frye signing,Garcia might not even make the team.

Keith Davis signs with Oakland
It was pretty clear the Cowboys were looking elsewhere for safety and special teams’ help this off-season, and as a result Keith Davis has a new home in Oakland.
Davis, who led the Cowboys in special teams’ stops with 20 in 2008, signed with the Raiders on Thursday. He had visited Kansas City earlier this off-season.
Davis was the heart of the special teams’ unit and was one of the Cowboys’ best leaders. He was unafraid to voice his feelings. He played hard. He played hurt. He played tough.
The Cowboys will miss Davis this year for what he brings to the locker room. It said a lot about how his teammates felt about him when he was named captain last year despite being on the roster only a few days after his release by Miami.

Garcia is a workaholic who keeps very fit (look at JR). If JR is ever going to have a memorable career he is going to have to take care of his body. Garcia reminds me very much of Rich Gannon except he is not as accurate of course 98% of all qbs were not as accurate as Gannon. If JR faulters he will have a hard time getting back into the game because I do believe any one of 20 qbs in the league can move this offense. JR is not on my top 20 list yet although I really want him to be. My hope is that Jeff will push JR to be that guy. We have the line, we have the backfield and we have the receivers all we need now is fire in the belly and a brain for football in the head of our qb whoever that is and I am with Davis in believing that right now Jeff is the better qb.

Some of you guys really dont know football and you definitely dont know Keith Davis! This dude is the most under rated safety in the nfl. He reminds me of a polamalu/bob sanders hybrid! He was shadowed by roy williams & was victim of jerry jones/Parcells politic$! Keith didnt get cut from miami bc of performance, he told the coaches he didnt come down there to play behind yeremiah bell (who led the league in tackles next to Gibril Wilson whos now his teammate). They did him a favor and released him bc he said he wouldve never come there to do the same thing he did in dallas! read the miami herald archive (keith was scheduled for the miami vs n.o preseason game (might i add parcells was pissed w/his former assistant whos the head coach bc he signed keith when he was a restricted fa & dallas matched the offer to keep him bc they knew what keith brings to the team) you saw how quick miami signed him but keith didnt bite his tongue he told em in so many words “I WANT OUT & BACK TO DALLAS BC YALL LIED” He wanted to tell parcells directly but the tuna ducked him bc he remembered keith cussing him out at practice in dallas bc the team was losing w/rookie pat watkins & parcells was trying to get even w/davis for being a victim to a drive by shooting on a frwy in dallas. After davis cussed him out, parcells started him & “TONY ROMO” the very next game & dallas went on an immediate hot winning streak! Parcells shot his own self in the foot by replacing Keith after the “dallas vs N.O” (same team hes had a problem w/bc of davis) w/the rookie and they started losing again and lost the 1st playoff game in seattle. Parcells jumped at keith as one of the 1st players he signed from dallas bc keith is a leader that speaks the truth everywhere he goes! For the ppl that look at his stats, you must know that dallas took davis out on 3rd downs (the down to get your int’s) to keep davis ticket price low after the season & to keep him fresh for special teams!!! Dont be fooled this dude can really play & the few 3rd downs they left him in he made big plays! Know this dudes real history b4 talking about him! He took the starting position while being injured all year & still dogged it out on special teams. Matter of fact he received the Ed Block Award this year(the award for 1 player per team that played through pain, etc). Keith is a huge asset for the raiders & had offers from 8 other teams including the cboys & chiefs, He wanted to be here & thats why he came, this team has the best opportunity for him to ball out of control & make an immediate impact. ill go so far as to say ppl are gonna be like where has this guy been! Hes finally away from the bs nfl $ politics w/jerry jones & the parcells family. Remember what im saying about this guy bc when the pads come on, hes gonna be laying some ppl out for raider nation like he knocked out dude from the rams cold in the game, they went to 3 commercial breaks bc the dude keith knocked out couldnt wake up and put it back together. Who is keith davis you ask? THE MOST UNDERRATED SAFETY IN THE NFL & NOW A RAIDER, true fans will understand that. For the dudes that made the distasteful comments about the guy getting shot i say watch your back bc when you try to make a mockery of someones accident it sometimes happens to you! I understood his interview but ppl can make trash out of anything so stop trying to make something out of nothing. God Bless Everyone, I just had to let you guys in on a little Keith Davis history. As a former player, fan & a person that knows the game, keep your eyes on #28, youre gonna love him!
