Good for Davis he’s the unquestioned owner GM of the Raiders cuz I’m not sure who else could keep his job after hemmoraging 10s of million to guys like Walker, Hall, Wilson and*gulp* Russell…
May 6th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
JHill – I would take drops and production vs. drops and no production such as DHB. Now…I understand our young guys need development but we’re risking a lot going into the season once again with a very young group and that could hurt us big time.
Jacoby Ford – Rookie (Considered more for special teams)
DHB – 2nd Year, Pure Speed, No hands
JLH – 4th Year, Giveth and taketh. Also disappears.
Nick Miller – 2nd year. Injury prone? (special teams)
Louis Murphy – 2nd Year. Potential but too many drops.
Schilens – 4th year. Great when healthy but injury prone.
Is anybody really comfortable with this?
May 6th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
I think Jerry will set a Blog record for # of hits on this great day!

Fat Kidd, do you have a point to make with #9?
It was a great post, thanks for reposting!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Its not even fair to compare Carr to JR. Carr started with an expansion team and no o-line and had QB Ratings of…
62.8
69.5
83.5
77.2
82.1
Carr bombed in his 1 year with the Panthers with a QB rating of…
58.3 (His Jamarcus Russell year)
However, as a backup on a good team with talent for 2 years, had this…
144.1
93.6
May 6th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
he’s a good run after catch guy very explosive(t.o)and could give us matchup advantages
May 6th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
El Dirty: are you expecting Jason Campbell to flop in Oakland?
this team would have made the playoffs last year with 64.5 comp % , 3600+ yards & 20 TD’s from the starting QB!

May 6th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
So what you are saying Dakota is now he is like almost every OTHER HC.For as bad as some say his play calling was,it sure seemed ok when Gradkowski and Frye were the QBs.Could it be that Russell was responsible for the lousy play calling because he didn’t know the plays and when given the choice of two plays he usually picked the wrong one?
____________________
No, it did not seem okay when Frye or Garbage were the QBs…sorry. The #1 reason for hope this offseason is the fact that Al took away Cable’s play calling.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
83: you’re not alone in wanting Terrell Owens bro
not many semi-bro bloggers want him, but John Clayton & Marcellus Wiley (NFL Live on ESPN) both think Oakland would be a good fit for both him and this team …
May 6th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
T.O. is coming too oakland they are just waiting for his price to come down
May 6th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Hahahaha!
Krappy is over in his new nursing home, PFT.com, ranting about Al cutting Jamarcus.
I know someone prank called him (my money is on Einstein), but that same someone really needs to report his blogging problem to his wife and her unfortunate bowl cut.
Not that she hasn’t considered dumping his fat ass many times before, but him now being a confirmed blog jumper, she’d basically have no choice!

Dakota,if you are expecting to see a west coast type offense from us you better not hold your breathe.I doubt if the offense we see this year is much different than what we saw last,except for maybe a few more WR screens.I’m not saying Cable called great games,but Russell did hamper what he could call.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:39 pm
rr thanks for my credit on that like i said if we get moose and he is better than T.O ill give up the same credit

—”Raiders signed RB Michael Bennett to an undisclosed contract. The Raiders wanted Bennett so badly that they cut JaMarcus Russell to open a roster spot. On a serious note, the 32-year-old veteran has averaged just 5.5 games and 15 attempts as a third running back the past two seasons. He may slot into Justin Fargas’ roster spot, but he won’t be handling a similar workload”—

POST OF THE DAY
vegas raider Says:
May 6th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Hey MR!!!
Remember your declarations that he would be our QB until 2014? Al will never do it to admit Lane was right?
Wrong again!!!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
I wonder if Jerry will finally give up some of the dirt on Russell, he’s heard around the building?
May 6th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
….if you don’t think Jason Campbell is a HUGE improvement over Bruce and Russell. In 2009 Jason Campbell amassed 3618 yards, 20 TDs, 226.1 yards a game, and 86.4 QB rating.
Bruce: 1007 yards, 6 TDs, 143.9 yards a game, and 80.6 QB rating.
Russell: 1287, 3 TDs, 107.2 yards a game, and 50 QB rating.
The Redskins gave up 22 sacks last year, we gave up 21. So he did all that with a bad O-line (like ours). That’s an extra 1000 passing yards and twice as many TDs. Consider how many close games we lost last year:
Vs San Diego Loss 24-20
Vs KC Loss 13-10
Vs KC Loss 16-10
Vs SD Loss 24-16
Now if those were wins (which they could have been if we just had a DECENT QB), we would have been 9-7. That’s a HUGE improvement.
Now factor in that this is the best draft I’ve ever witnessed the Raiders have, we are going to be MUCH MUCH BETTER.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
we should sign moose and T.O and let them compete for a contract of insentives that pays for results
May 6th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Sign both Big John and TO is BO to bargain deals and try and turn this freakin team around!
The coaches need to train these guys to play 4 quarters of hungry tough and smart football and get these guys in shape to play past the 4th quarter!

May 6th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
MR & SeymourGlen have checked out.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Michael Bennett had 1296 rushing yards & 5 TD’s for Minny in 2002 …
since then, not much. didn’t contribute much to KC or SD.
this is just competition for Rock Cartwright & Andre Anderson (rookie from Tulane) imo.
may the best man win!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Jerry reported Anderson isn’t on the team.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:48 pm

I expect him to be average at best. Average will win us games but I want manning great.

[Comment From 24 24: ]
I’m not comfortable with the current WR core…can Campbell make them look better or should we go T.O.? Thursday May 6, 2010 2:38 24
2:39 Cam Inman: Hell, go get Jerry Rice and the WR corps would look better. I have MAJOR concerns about that unit. Too small, too young.
=========================
Too young I tend to agree with, but…
Bey 6-2, 210
Murphy 6-2, 200
Schilens 6-4 225
May 6th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Jerry reported Anderson isn’t on the team.

+++++++
I am sure Russell did hamper Cable, but Cable also failed on taking advantage of our RBs and in getting creative with plays….he had to have goal line plays drawn up for him by players for god’s sake….I am willing to bet Jackson’s offense produces 50% more touchdowns next season.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:51 pm
Get T.O.?!
You spend 10s of millions to ditch malcontents (Hall, Wilson, Walker, Russell) and then want ot hire the biggest locker room divider of the century?

its not like our locker room is that close plus last YR he kept his mouth shut with the media poking at him
May 6th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
So Owens is a free man again. His model behavior in the Buffalo locker room and with the media has helped repair his tarnished reputation. Some teams are going to be willing to sign him who wouldn’t have a year ago

May 6th, 2010 at 2:57 pm
LA Raider Dave,
The only thing that concerns me with Campbell is that they had a worse record than us last year and they were a playoff team two years ago.
Some real stinkers last year for Campbell, and big games against us and the Chargers game (when SD sat everybody).
But hey, he is no Jamarcus!!!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:57 pm
its about dam time!!!! bye bye jabuster. biggest bust in NFL history. a new era just begun for the raiders. no matter-what fakemaddenraider says.

May 6th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Hello fellow Raider fans from Ottawa Canada, my first post here so thought I’d introduce myself. I’ve been a Raider fan over 30 yrs, this day comes with mixed feelings for me. Sad to see the Russell experiment, which cost the franchise so much, reach its final conclusion. I you can blame all fronts on this one; AL for not surrounding him with the tools to succeed (namely a good offensive line), JR for not taking advantage of his skills and taking his talents to another level, and the signing rules which allowed an unproven player to demand such a huge salary. At the end of the day I think we should be happy though, it seems like the organization is making sound moves to stabilize and grow, and it gives us hope that cutting Russell is hugely symbolic of cutting our loses, learning from mistakes and moving forward.
Go Raiders!
