Russell’s the man. Good to have an experienced back up though.

Not usre Bey missing camp will be HUGELY detrimental. He’s abit of a one trick pony at this point but its a trick the Raider system needs.

He’ll likley be allowed to develop over a few seasons shcoking as that concept may be to most fans nowdays…

For the record: “Five weeks into the Raiders season, starting QB Dan Pastorini broke his leg in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs. 33-year-old Jim Plunkett came off the bench to relieve Pastorini and had a terrible performance, throwing 5 interceptions in a 31-17 loss. The Raiders, thinking that Marc Wilson did not have the experience they wanted, called on Plunkett to start for the remainder of the year. In his first game as a starter, he completed eleven of fourteen passes with a touchdown and no interceptions, beginning one of the greatest comeback stories in the history of the sport. Plunkett guided Oakland to nine victories in eleven games and a playoff berth as a wild-card. Then, even more remarkably, rather than suffering an early defeat which marks the typical fate of NFL wild card teams, Plunkett led the Raiders to four playoff victories, including the Super Bowl, where they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 27-10, in Super Bowl XV. Throwing for 261 yards and three touchdowns, Plunkett was named the game’s MVP.
The Raiders’ Super Bowl win was the first by an NFL wild card team and the second by a non-divison champion. The Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl IV after finishing second to the Raiders in the AFL West Division during the 1969 season.”

Depending on how things shake out, Garcia could be the Plunkett of his time.
Trust me, I was there at the Coliseum the day Pastorini (the big star trade of those years) went down with a broken leg. I believe the Raiders were 3-4 at that point? Plunk stepped in and lead that team to a Superbowl win that year.

We will see. I’m all for Russ doing the job. No doubt. I want him to lead this team. But if he can’t by week 4 or 5, I expect to see Garcia. And, I expect big things from him at that point.
