		<description>The Raiders will win. Russell will throw for 400 yards and 5 TD&#039;s! Russell is one of the smartest QB&#039;s to play the game. Al Davis is a genius. His decisions are some of the best ever made concerning scheme and personel. Again Russell is a HOF type QB. Also Russell works really hard and has never been fined. Cable never touched Hansen, hansen is a liar! Why am I saying this?

JOHN HERRERA HAS A GUN TO MY HEAD! PLEASE HELP!</description>

		<description>At this point, a &#039;breakout game&#039; for the Raiders means scoring an offensive touchdown.

You&#039;ve got JaCarcass playing behind a pathetic offensive line, throwing to a rookie wide receiver corps, traveling to the East coast, and going up against one of the better defensive fronts in the NFL.

Not a pretty picture.

Comparing the stats of Russell, Manning and Carr might, on the surface, give Raider fans some hope that JaCarcass can eventually develop into a franchise QB.

What the stats can&#039;t show however, is that Manning and Carr aren&#039;t blathering idiots and JaCarcass is.

One listen to a JaCarcass interview, or a read of his verbatim comments in the press, leaves absolutely no doubt that Russell is a certified moron.

Please don&#039;t tell me about his southern drawl making him sound stupid. It&#039;s not his twang or accent, or drawl that makes him sound stupid. It&#039;s the incoherent content of his comments. There&#039;s no other way to say it: Russell is an idiot.

True, he&#039;s surrounded by a less than stellar cast. He&#039;s not entirely to blame for the Raider&#039;s offensive ineptitude. Perhaps with time and better players around him he can become what we all hoped he&#039;d be when he was drafted number one overall.

But I wouldn&#039;t count on it.

You couple a questionable work ethic with a double digit IQ and the results aren&#039;t likely to please Raider fans.

One thing is certain. Russell will be given every possible opportunity to prove the skeptics wrong. The Raids simply have way too much invested in him to do otherwise. It&#039;s too soon to give up on him, and considering what he has to work with, one can not say with certainty that he&#039;s going to be a bust. 

But there&#039;s little reason to be optimistic about Russell and plenty of reasons to be dubious about his future.</description>

		<description>Thats the second time I have posted that and it didnt get a response either time.
Its either too truthful for some people to accept (I understand the pessimism)
Or its too outlandish to respond to, although in all fairness things much more outlandish get numerous responses.

Does my breath stink?</description>
