Thanks, Jerry, for a rational, eloquent analysis of the situation. Hard to find these days, either from the media or the fans.

_New_GM had some valid points about the dysfunctional organization, injury ridden OLine and inexperienced WR core being the worst kind of support for a young QB. HOWEVER, Russell’s lack of fitness, pocket presense, decision making, accuracy and perpective (He didn’t understand why he was benched!) shows that he clearly was not ready…and we as fans cant expect him to be.

JaMarcus’ contract is voidable 2012. He has 2 yrs to “get it” or he’s gone. He needs to be Raiders #3 QB going into 2010 with the best available free agents battling for #1 & #2.

Gradkowski and Frye aren’t durable enough to start 16 wks. Losman hasn’t done anything impressive. One of them may be a good #2 QB since they have experience in the system. Vick was advised not to go to Oak by Dungy. Troy Smith is the best of the free agents and the draft looks weak for QBs.

I agree with EXRaiderfan the best way to hurt Al Davis is stop buying tickets, and any and everything that has the Raiders Shield on it. Make that goofy old man sell the team to someone who knows what to do with it. Hey at least I have the mets right?

I am completely in agreement with Jerry on this one. Wait till the last possible moment, if he pulls the ol rabbit out of the hat keep him. Otherwise dump him just before the season starts…

I laughed when Al Davis signed Ja Mark Ass Punk Russell. I have to admit I like seeing Al Davis get Raped in the Rear over & over again with Punk-Ass has- been players & “Superstars” that NEVER produce. But in this case with Ja Mark Ass, this Punk is ruining the Team & the Fans have had enough. It’s bad enough that the Fans’ Billboard was Dissed by Weird Al Davis – but Many Fans will NOT buy Tickets to this Crap they call the Oakland Raiders next Season if they keep this Baby Huey Looking Freak in a Uniform. My Brother-in-Law works for ESPN & has personally met & knows many Pro Athletes from ALL the Sporting World – He is a Life Long Raider Fan & He says that Ja Mark Ass is one of the Dumbest Athletes He has ever met in His entire Career of 15 years in Pro Sports. If the Fans don’t buy Tickets & the Raiders keep Baby Huey then I have to guess that Al Davis is betting huge money every week against “His Team” beacause I don’t see where the Raiders make any Money unless it’s “Dirty Money”.

Try looking at JMs shortcomings,his complete lack of work ethic,desire,motivation,leadership,accountability, nevermind…you’re probably too busy sucking JMs balls to do anything else.

The FACT is that lots of QBs play behind suspect lines and some do ok,some do well and some do poorly but almost all of them take responsibility for poor play and are accountable to their teammates,coaches and the media.
JM is accountable to no one and places blame on anyone but himself.
