		<description>Davis is an idiot. Starting fast 40x rookie receivers with a developing QB and giving them a terrible offense to run, as the cherry on top. What an effing moron!

For as much as many of you hated Kiffin, he was right about bringing Russell along slowly. And he was right about not starting rookie receivers. People see Chaz and Higgins playing well after sitting most of the year and they say &quot;see, should have started them sooner&quot;. MORONS! They played well because they weren&#039;t forced into it and instead were given time to get comfortable. Ocho Cinco even mentioned he wasn&#039;t ready to start as a rookie. 

And now we have Murphy, who is the most ready of the 2 rookies, on the bench. You&#039;re a genius Al. Keep it up!</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know RealMadden,

JaMarcus is more than halfway through his 3rd NFL season. How long does he have to play before he can throw deep passes?

And I dispute this idea that alot of people seem to have that the Raiders don&#039;t run the ball. I think we&#039;re one of the most run-heavy teams in the NFL in terms of run/pass percentage of plays. Which is incredible when you consider we&#039;re usually trailing and in a must-pass mode. The reality is -- as Michael Bush pointed out -- you can&#039;t run the ball every play. You have to mix it up. You absolutely have to pass successfully in the NFL. We have just had ZERO passing attack all season.

My biggest gripe with JaMarcus isn&#039;t even the inaccurate throws. Some of his throws, yes, have been horrendous. But many of those throws could have been caught if the WR made a better adjustment on the flight of the ball or basically just caught it when it hit his hands. The bigger problem is the lack of throws to the WRs. JaMarcus just can&#039;t pull the trigger on throws to the receivers. That&#039;s a problem. This is the NFL, guys aren&#039;t going to be running 10 yards in the clear much. You have to be willing to throw it to a guy when he has 1 step on the defender and you better be damn accurate when you do. JaMarcus doesn&#039;t make those throws. He&#039;ll stare down one receiver, almost never get comfortable that the guy is open enough to throw it to, and then check down or get sacked by the time he decides to check down.

I still think JaMarcus could be salvagable. His struggles really have nothing to do with his weight or anything like that. It&#039;s all about mechanics (accuracy) and having the confidence to get the ball downfield to WRs.</description>

		<description>Raider O, if they give Gradkowski a more effective playbook with higher percentage passing plays, after sticking Russell with that Flinstones playbook?  I wouldn&#039;t blame Russell for having a poor work ethic.  There&#039;s a better way to handle it, obviously.  But I wouldn&#039;t blame Russell for being discouraged and feeling like giving up.  If the Raiders are sabotaging him with an archaic playbook, he has every right to get even with them by just dogging it and laughing all the way to the bank.  The Raiders are to blame, whoever&#039;s running them.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s hard to develop any QB with all those issues.

It&#039;s 4 rookies, a very young QB who lacks exp, bad Oline, and a Defense that can&#039;t stop the run trying to compete in the NFL. 

This Is A Joke!</description>

		<description>Raider O, it&#039;s quite simple really. The problem is Al Davis. Beginning, and end of story. Coaches come and coaches go. Players come and players go. We have the same BS schemes and the same undermining owner and the same BS draft picks through all of it. For instance, it&#039;s not DHB&#039;s fault he got drafted that high and is being forced into the lineup before he&#039;s even ready. And you know Davis is behind it too since he laid it all out for everyone and expressed his opinion on starting the rookies. He&#039;s said it so no need to argue this point. Either fans are tuned into reality - and I believe most of us are, as evidenced by the attendance and the booing - or they are well-trained Al Davis puppies.</description>

		<description>JR is 22, he is young, talented, but he has:
1- 2 Rookie WRs starting
2- rookie WRs coach
3- rookie HC
4- rookie play caller
5- no Oline

And according to a lot of reports, he has bad Work ethics.</description>
