I remember going to a MNF game against the Cowboys. Marvyn Gaye sang the national anthem and the Raiders were looking pretty lethargic until George came in for Stabler, his first play he throws a TD to Branch. ...That might slightly be revisionist history but that's the way i remember it Great story Jerry.

He played the game when football players were football players. Not just specialists. He was a leader of men, what I feel Gradkowski is. I don't remember the Blanda days, although I am sure I have seen a couple of his games when I was a toddler. Hope Jano's kick wasn't what put Blanda over the edge. Regard the great George Blanda.

But we have a patchwork O line and D-plus receivers. The Cable question is almost moot if Davis would replace him with another guy who couldn't get another job in the NFL. It only matters if Davis would give big money to Bill Cowher (my choice for a truly desperate franchise) or Jim Harbaugh or someone else he would have to cede some power to.

Just common sense. Like I said, they could win some games with those guys, but it would take a miraculous set of circumstances for a team to win the SB with either of those guys. Just common sense.

I just want my team to compete, improve. Maybe beat some heavyweights along the way, and have a chance at a wildcard near the end of the season. Of course we don't have the coach/QB/etc... to go to the SB. Stop killing yourself over it. We are what we are. I am not delusional to think we have a team to make it the superbowl.
