I’d love Gannon’s help. I hate the fact that Herrera is so distasteful that he attacks Gannon. He did play a horrible superbowl. He also won the MVP for us and helped us reach the playoffs and be respectable. No other QB has. In fact, his getting hurt and our horrible record coincide pretty precisely.

1960 — really, you don’t have to keep going. 99% of us all saw the same sucky thing out of Russell.

I would like to recall my “blind and dumb” comment in post #265 the way most fans were booing JR actually confirms that most fans saw what I saw and it is only 5-7 people on this board that need to be fitted for new glasses!!!

By the way if Russell was benched after his horrible pre-season performances, I believe Oakland would have been battling for a wildcard up to the final game! Another point Russell was given extra work and the focused on the passing game all preseason and he still sucked!!!!

Regarding the following post:

“captainblakck,

I have seen the greatness of Russell. i saw it when he was in college, he was amazing. we have all seen flashes here in the pro’s. 2 come from behind 4th quarter wins to knock out play off contenders at the end of 08. Also this year last second wins, in k.c, denver, and should have got the win in sd. he did that despite playing for one of the worst teams in the league! O-line is terrible, rookie receivers, and no running game to speak of, what could anyone realistically expect? Teach him what he needs to know and give him the help he needs, then we can properly judge him.”

WOW!!! Are you kidding me. Did you watch the same games I did??? Please if you have these games on VCR or if NFL network replays them please look at his actual performance. I mean JR made what they in Tennis call many many *unforced errors* If I have to be blind and dumb and out of reality to be a Raiders fan then I am getting off this bus. Come on enough with the excuses. He was the main reason there was no running game!!!! They could confidently stack the box because they had no fear that JR would burn them or if he did it would be rare enough to be worth it. If I had to scheme against the Raiders with JR that is certaintly be what I would do. I know anything I say here will not effect the “true believer” but please be objective and really look at his actual play – he was terrible!!! Were there other problems – of course but you need to look at his actual play! Cutler for instance is a QB that you could make excuses for with what he had in Chicago but JR was just flat out bad even with the problems.

Smac, look, we all watched Cornell Green, Kwame Harris, and Cooper Carlisle play. They were not up to the challenge. So whenever the coach says something positive about these players it’s BS!

And he did say what I wrote about Cornell. I do NOT create scripts.
