Raiders confirm Campbell deal
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, April 24th, 2010 at 10:51 am in Oakland Raiders.
The slow news day continues . . .
– The Raiders are confirming the Jason Campbell deal, which was already confirmed on site at the NFL draft.
– Raiders CEO Amy Trask said linebacker Kirk Morrison spoke with Al Davis, who thanked the Oakland product for his services and said the door was always open to him.
– Offensive tackle Bruce Campbell, talked to reporters by conference call, sounded disappointed to last until the fourth round but promised to show up with a chip on his shoulder and prove his he more than a workout warrior.

If you wanted Clausen before the draft started thats cool but pissing & moaning after we added Campbell added a MLB, DE, 2 OL, and WR it seems like your kind of a dum a$$.

From ESPN
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft10/news/story?id=5132638
The Oakland Raiders, after making a deal that shipped out their leading tackler for the past four years, added a possible starting quarterback Saturday in a deal with the Washington Redskins for Jason Campbell.
In acquiring Campbell, the Raiders added a year to his existing contract, the quarterback told ESPN.com’s Matt Mosley. He will make $4.5 million in 2011.
“I look at this as getting to start over,” Campbell told Mosley. “I talked to Mr. Davis, and he wanted me for two years. He wants me to help their team to a new level.”
Campbell had already signed the Redskins’ tender offer worth $3.1 million for 2010.
When asked if he was promised the starting position, Campbell said he “got that feeling.”
“I’m going to work hard to make sure that happens,” Campbell said.

They are going to ask jwalrus to take a pay cut if he dont except it he will be released

RMR,
I don’t know what went on inside Raiders HQ, but I believe that Kiffin arguing his case NOT to draft Russell… and then complaining about having him… was the reason that Kiffin said “Screw it” and stopped trying to coach the team, instead trying to figure out how to get out of town and further his career. I liked Kiffin as a coach… and wish that we had never drafted JR and never fired Kiffin. That being said, the way Kiffin handled things after we DID draft JR… well, he seems to have been acting like a child, leaking things to the media (true and untrue) and being sneaky, trying to get fired, then going off to Tennessee until a better position came up at USC. I hated that he went to UT because I’m a Kentucky fan and I wanted to support him, but blood allegiances to the big blue prevented that. Then he showed that he didn’t really care about Tennessee anyway, so now I’m somewhat torn. Either way, he did bad by the franchise by refusing to make the best of a bad situation when he was handed JR… but he was definitely right about it being a bad pick (as was I, mothefukkers).
April 24th, 2010 at 10:53 am
—”Davis said that Kiffin objected to drafting quarterback JaMarcus Russell and complained about other personnel decisions. The owner finally told the coach to stop complaining all the time and coach the team on the field.”—

April 24th, 2010 at 10:53 am
Or we could do what I’ve said to do for the past two years:
Convert JR to OT (if he can improve his footwork) or DT (if he can learn to grab onto someone else as he falls down… I worry that he might not be able to, though… since he can’t even hold the ball as he falls).

It seems like Russell isn’t a “Bonafide” Qb like you said he was.

April 24th, 2010 at 10:55 am
Steve…we only have Al Davis’s words to go on. And Al’s words were that Kiffin didn’t want Russell. Period. We have your conspiracy theory. We have SeverRaiderz conspiracy theory. THEN WE HAVE AL’S WORDS. Al’s words, on several, several youtube vids and documented word for word in several newspaper articles, available with a quick google search. Why are you guys doing this to yourselves? Defending Al’s honor is not worth making yourself look entirely stupid. Just let it go, before we start posting the vids.

April 24th, 2010 at 10:57 am
Oh… and where I live, I am SURROUNDED by UT fans. After I moved back from Cali last August, I told all those big-ego-having bastards to stop cheering because Kiffin would leave to become head coach at USC at the end of the season. None of them believed me, told me I was full of it, and asked me to put my money where my mouth was. I got most of them to give me 5:1 odds or better… and I made a LOT of money off of dumbass Tennessee fans. It was a great winter.

You always have the advantage of looking back but again what a gutless thing to do. Mike Mayock said Russell had the best Pro Day for a Q he had EVER SEEN. You can claim Ryan Leaf was not a good pick too, 12 years later right?
April 24th, 2010 at 10:58 am
Blocking FB and a fat NT can be had in Round 7 I would think….
Oh by the way…..thanks Kirk for all the hard work, and being a team player and class act!
It would be nice to see him return one day!

Heck ya SB looks like a competitive team
April 24th, 2010 at 10:58 am
I’ve got to hand it to you guys, though. If you just keep putting up this argument that Kiffin wanted Russell, you can hold off having to give him props for being right in not wanting him. Clever strategy. The problem is you’re trying to shyt a shytter, and I’m all over you guys on it. So, SevereRaiderz, Alfort, either give Kiffin his props for being right about Russell from DAY ONE, or get out of the sand box. Because you’re both about to get buried if you continue with this angle that Kiffin wanted Russell.

Alright, i was taking Kiffin at his word when he said that he wanted J-Rock. You were right my man and i was wrong. In the end its really here nor there because I and several others that didnt want him from the beginning will finally get our wish.

RMR,
When did I ever defend Al’s honor? I say that Kiffin didn’t want JR (neither did I) and that Al drafted him anyway. How is that defending Al? I said that I wish we still had Kiffin as HC.
April 24th, 2010 at 10:59 am
two punters have been drafted before Al Davis has decided to add a starting nose tackle to make McClain’s job easier …

How about what you think about Jason Campbell or our draft picks?

I think the majority of the nation would have backed Russell if he actually put in work this off season and put everything into it.
It was clear by the poker photo (as blurry as it was) that he hadnt changed.
So a change had to be made.
Great Weekend – best in a decade! (+ ?)
Respect for Al for talking with Kirk, doesnt happen much in pro sports today
April 24th, 2010 at 11:03 am
No ENGLAND,
I will repeat it for you 1 more time.
“If you wanted Clausen before the draft started thats cool” If you are complaining about not getting Clausen after what we did the last 3 days and after ALL 32 teams passed on him for what 2 FULL rounds then you are a dum a$$.
If I have to repeat this 1 more time you have solidified my assertion of you being a “dum a$$.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:03 am
They’re probably working the phones right now trying to get the priority FA’s after the draft.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:03 am
MCFADDIN is the only head scratcher pick really so far.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:03 am
Seems the JRuss pumpers have a different account of history. Kiffin did NOT want to draft Jamarcus and complained about him the rest of the time he was here. He lobbied hard for Brady Quinn.
I don’t know where someone gets the idea that he wanted Jamarcus all along. It’s a complete departure from reality to say something like that.
Anything that Kiffin said about Jamarcus AFTER he was fired was meant to save face and make sure potential future employers didn’t think he was the kind of guy to throw players under the bus.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:03 am

You have yet to tell me exactly when or where I defended Al’s honor. I said that Kiffin was against drafting JR and that I wish Kiffin was still our coach. I also said that Kiffin acted like a child after we drafted JR and that he did wrong by Tennessee. Nowhere in any of that is a defense of Al’s honor.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:08 am
It may be a real reach, but the Raiders could take a chance on someone like Brandon Carter with one of their two 7th round picks. He’s not the fastest guy, and gets a little caught up in the emotions of the game. But he does not get pushed around and never yields sacks. He should only be better going into a tighter formation than he saw at Tech.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:08 am
mistabrOwndildo, you are a bonafide moron. It’s a known fact. That is all anyone needs to know about you and your comments. Anything else?
April 24th, 2010 at 11:08 am
Mayock can seem a little pompous at times….acting like he is the only “know it all” and know one else knows anything.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:08 am
Jason Campbell:
He has improved his numbers every year he’s been in the league, the guy has actually gotten better every year despite playing for different coordinators and two completely different systems (the Joe Gibbs Coryell offense and Jim Zorn’s wrongly “West Coast” scheme)
The guy is 28 years old QB coming of a 64.5% completion percentage, 3,618 yards, 20 TD’s, 15 INT’s, 86.4 QB rating season.
Campbell shares some traits with Joe Flacco and Carson Palmer, all of them are big, pocket passers with strong arms, Flacco and Campbell are a more athletic than Palmer is but overall, they are similar in skill set.
Hue Jackson coached Flacco and Palmer before, now he gets Jason Campbell to work with at a much more advanced stage in his development than Flacco was when he got him and obviously Campbell has not yet accomplished the success Palmer has, but I think Jackson should be able to make Campbell feel comfortable right away.
I can’t find a flaw about this move, of course, Campbell hasn’t played a snap yet but things are looking up for this team.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:08 am

We also got a two seventh

April 24th, 2010 at 11:10 am
I have a hunch that Davis didnt want Morrison traded out and McClain in. This sounds like when Al let Kiffin get rid of Crockett and Al took him aside and thanked him and said the door was always open to him, and then later in the Projector PC, Davis mentioned that day and that early Kiffin period, how he gave Kiffin leeway.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:10 am

Kiffin didn’t want JR, but Al did, so we ended up with him. Kiffin tried to get fired. Kiffin would have been a good coach if he hadn’t been trying to get fired. End of story, RMR.

Holy sh-t the Raiders are rockin’ and rolling today. Super psyched about the Bruce Campbell pick and he’ll probably be even better now because he’ll be pissed he wasn’t picked until Round 4.
Then we add Jacoby Ford who can instantly return kicks and is the kind of super quick smallish slot WR I’ve been advocating for for the last few years. Ford really stood out to me at the Senior Bowl — looked like he was moving at a different speed from everyone else at times.
Then we grab CB Walter McFadden and fill a need late with a guy who has a lot of upside.
Then we trade a 4th rounder next year for an upgrade at QB. Not sure if Campbell is the long-term answer but he could be and should definitely be an upgrade over JaMarcus. This should also make JaMarcus realize his career and all the $ millions that come with it are circling the drain and will soon be gone if he doesn’t act fast.

“The Raiders have to be moving Seymour inside.”
I’ve said it before, Seymour is a natural DT in our scheme, he played DT in college, he played DT for his first 2 years and made his first Pro Bowl there, before NE switched to the 3-4 and Seymour moved to DE, where he can obviously excell too.
Seymour can play anywhere but as a 4-3 DT he can’t be blocked by a single guy, he’s too fast for some, too strong for others.

The problem with Jason Campbell is inconsistency. He can look incredible and then down right bad. If he can get his game smoothed out, he can be a very solid player.

Time for Hackett and Hue to work their magic.

If he can just be a steady guy. Complete his passes at 60%+, limit INTs and hit the open man…we are fine.
He’s the best QB this team has had in almost 10 years and one of the top 2 in the last 25 years

Disappointed we went with a corner when Cam Thomas was on the board, but it seems that this season there’s more of a plan than past seasons, so I’ll let it slide.

You need to ask Cable about Cam Thomas given our complete lack of players at the DT position…Bryant is rotational…Kelly is serviceable…Joseph & Cooper should be out of the league

Their situation in Washington is similar to ours in the coaching carousels and bringing in tons of new players constantly. Certainly that hurts Campbell. He’s going to have the same issues here.

Bryan McFadden 5′11″ 181, He ran a 4.40 and a 4.39 40-time at his proday…
Although McFadden was an all-state pick in Florida, a hot-bed of football talent, he did not get his chance to start until his junior year because of the Tigers’ depth at the cornerback. Once on the field, he became the playmaker and leader coaches believed he could be.
After redshirting his first year at Auburn, the cousin of NFL cornerback Bryant McFadden (and LSU corner Patrick Peterson) played 11 games (two tackles) primarily on special teams in 2006. He participated in every game as a sophomore, finishing in high style with four tackles, one for loss, and a pass break-up against Clemson in the Chik-fil-A Bowl.
Finally getting the starting job for all 12 games in 2008, McFadden had two interceptions and eight pass breakups. He then finished his career with a second-team All-SEC senior season, intercepting six passes and breaking up 10 others in addition to making 46 tackles, 4.5 for loss
Walter McFadden (5-11, 181), who did not participate in the combine, ran a 4.40 and 4.43 40, had a 35.5 vertical leap, 10-foot, 3-inch broad jump, 4.31 short shuttle, 6.94 three-cone drill and completed five reps in the bench press. – Gil Brandt, NFL.com
Read & React: Good reaction skills, though he doesn’t rush to support the run. Rarely fooled in coverage, showing good burst to the line of scrimmage to defend the receiver screen. Can be beaten with good play-action, but has the acceleration and straight-line speed to recover.
Man Coverage: Natural coverage skills. Rare timed speed, which translates well onto the field. Loose hips and quick feet to turn and run with receivers. Changes directions smoothly and shows a burst to break on the ball. Quick, active hands for press coverage. Lacks the bulk teams are looking for in a press coverage corner, but is aggressive. Doesn’t back down from the challenge of a bigger receiver.
Zone Coverage: A bit higher in his back-pedal than scouts would prefer. Good vision and route-recognition for zone coverage. Keeps his eyes peeled on the quarterback but has a sense of where receivers in front and behind him are going. Breaks quickly on the ball.
Closing/Recovery: One of his better traits. Shows an explosive burst to close on the ball and has natural ball skills (six INTs as a senior). Can be too aggressive fighting for the ball, despite his slight frame, and draw the flag. Times his leaps well to compete against bigger receivers, but can be pushed aside. Needs to add more strength.
Run Support: An area of relative concern. Isn’t a coward, but doesn’t fight through blocks consistently or fight to get involved (only 10 assisted tackles in 2009). Willing to take on the bigger back and is generally reliable in the open field.
Tackling: Scrappy tackler who doesn’t back down from a challenge. Experienced gunner and generally a reliable open-field tackler. Won’t wow anyone with his explosiveness, but consistently gets his opponent to the ground with low, wrap-up tackles.
Intangibles: Good bloodlines. Cousin, Bryant McFadden, is an NFL cornerback for the Cardinals. Cousin Patrick Peterson is a highly-regarded rising junior cornerback for LSU. Accomplished special teams performer. Had to wait his turn at Auburn, but quietly developed into one of the better playmaking corners in the SEC over his two starting seasons. Coaches say he’s matured quite a bit in his four years and now is considered a solid person, smart player and team leader
