Jackson, 49ers talk; will Davis move quickly?
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011 at 1:46 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders offensive coordinator Hue Jackson has completed his interview Wednesday with the 49ers at an undisclosed location, according to the NFL Network, which reported him making a “strong impression.”
The 49ers will now move on to talk to JIm Harbaugh, having satisfied the Rooney Rule, and could in theory wrap things up today with their top target.
If things fall apart with Harbaugh over money, and he reportedly could be looking for more than $6 million per year, the question is whether they’re serious about Jackson and if Al Davis will move quickly to make sure he’s not without the man who upgraded the Oakland offense in 2010.
LECHLER CONTINUES SCORCHED EARTH CAMPAIGN
After sleeping on it, Shane Lechler is still mystified as to why the Raiders would part ways with coach Tom Cable.
Lechler had some strong reaction Tuedsay night to the Bay Area News Group as well as on a CSN-Bay Area interview which he criticized the decision to dump Cable as well as the direction of the franchise.
(One of many quotes in that interview that is sure to get back to Davis: “The last time I was this disappointed was when we traded Jon (Gruden) to Tampa. We went to the Super Bowl the next year but I’m not so sure that wasn’t with Jon’s team.”)
Talking from the airport to SiriusXM Radio Wedesday with Adam Schein and former teammate Rich Gannon, here were a few more Lechler jabs:
– “(Tom) had it down pat on how to deal with Al . . . I understand what he went through with head coaches because I’ve been through so many of them. he was able to keep Al’s angerness, I guess you would say, or decision-making, away from the team. It was a big reflection on coach Cable being very much a professional in this whole deal and understanding how to isolate problemsand only addressing the ones that seriously need to be addressed.”
– “I mean, there’s a reason we’ve been through seven head coaches. It’s difficult . . . it was tough for Jon Gruden when we were kicking butt every Sunday. I mean, we go to Kansas City, beat a playoff team and the plug gets pulled. I looked at it like, there’s no logic in this one.”
– “I talked to Al Christmas Eve, and he was bitter about the Jacksonville loss. I don’t know if he was using the conversation to vent a little bit or what. He was also checking on my leg, making sure everything was fine. We did not discuss Tom Cable at all. This one has totally got me off guard.”
– “I tried to talk to (Davis) last night after I heard the news. I didn’t get an answer. I tried to call John Herrera, who’s supposedly the spokesman of the Raiders, and I didn’t get an answer. I tried to call a couple of guys that are with Al, and no answer. So I don’t know Maybe he will (talk to me), maybe he won’t. He probably won’t talk to me after what he hears I’ve been saying the last couple of days.”
WIMBLEY HONORED
There was some news coming out of an otherwise quiet Alameda facility today _ linebacker Kamerion Wimbley is the AFC Defensive Player of the week after his three-sack performance against Kansas City, according to Raiders.com
SIX PRACTICE SQUAD PLAYERS RETAINED
Six practice squad players were signed to reserve/future contracts which keeps them property of the Raiders into the offseason _ WR Damola Adeniji, WR Shaun Bodiford, TE Kevin Brock, G Alex Parsons, FB Manase Tonga and CB Joe Porter.

Al knows Bo and Al knows Jack(Son).
During preseason, this board was alive with talk of how cool it was to have Jackson on board, calling out the D, etc…and now that Jackson seems the heir apparent, many people are acting shocked.
What gives?
January 5th, 2011 at 1:54 pm
If things fall apart with Harbaugh over money, and he reportedly could be looking for more than $6 million per year

crumble!
I hope Jim asks for $10 million
January 5th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Al will shock the world giving into whatever Harbaugh wants financially! Actually if Harbaugh doesn’t go to San Fran the Niners will pay Hue more than Al will and we’ll have Josh Mcdaniels or Eric Mangini as our new head coach
January 5th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Al should be able to sit back and let SF turn Hue down and then low ball Hue to be the HC/OC/WR coach/QB coach/timeout coordinator for the low low price of $1.75 million per.
lmao
I really hope Al has something other than Hue up his sleeve, but I doubt it.
January 5th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Wasn’t there a report saying he’s looking for 7.5??

Cable = Bugel… both o-line coaches who made it to HC in Oakland. Both loved and supported by the players. Both fired after just a few seasons. Joe went back to coaching the o-line and so will Cable. It’s what they do, and should always do.

I don’t believe that, he loves the Raiders more than he loves his wife and brat.
If he only cares about money he wouldn’t have the highest payroll in the NFL.
He just has zero respect for the position of HC, because he thinks they are just middlemen for his own desires, so why pay a guy that doesn’t have to think on his own very much?

Raidertay, the Raiders may have the highest payroll in the league, but that doesn’t mean they have the most talent. It means Al OVERPAYS for mediocre talent. This team did exactly what it was projected to do this year, finish 8-8.

Harbaugh wants Carroll money. SF would be idiots for paying it. I like Harbaugh, but he doesnt have half the credentials of Pete or the national championships.
January 5th, 2011 at 2:26 pm
Lechler was the only reason what kept us from being blown out 60-0 every game last year with Jawalrus as the QB.
January 5th, 2011 at 2:26 pm
Also no surprise that all of those teams had backup-talent at QB most of the year.
Look at the Browns. What the heck were they SUPPOSED to do with a rookie playing the Ravens and Steelers twice each?
The Vikings struggled because of the drop in play at QB. That’s the only difference between this year and last year.
QB league.

Aig-raiders, don’t get me wrong, I think Lechler is the man. I’m glad he’s saying what he’s saying. I’m just nervous that he’s going to be riding the bench next year with a mysterious leg injury while some schlub that can’t kick the ball more than 30 yards is punting for us. It’s never a good thing when your best player is your punter. At least Al has a good eye for kickers… of course that would put the Arizona loss on him.
January 5th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
Raidertay,
USC is a bit easier to turn into a top-10 powerhouse than Stanford.
Also, as far as we know, Harbaugh did it without his players’ families being paid.
January 5th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
I’m starting to wish hateful crap on Al, I hope SF hires Hue away and Al is stuck with nothing except the darkside to play with.

Absolutely. If you don’t have a QB, you have to spend a lot more money on every other position to compensate for it.
Hopefully the Raiders find THE GUY sooner rather than later. I wonder if Hue can convince Al to take a QB in the middle rounds.

Hey there might be a slight chance of landing Harbaugh. I think the raiders have the best roster out of all the teams looking for a head coach. Maybe that will intrigue him enough to take the job.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We have a much better roster tha the whiners.
Harbaugh, however, has let it out that Michigan offered him $5 million and it wasn’t enough because he wants $7 million.
The whiners can’t afford that.
Harbaugh is also asking too much for the Raiders since Al’s offer is somewhere between a nickle and a free ticket to a game.
Harbaugh may just end up in Miami.

@A7 – so true. The demise of the Raiders the past 7 seasons can be tied directly to the QB position on our team.
@BJBrown – I’m with you. I like AD but at times I appreciate a guy like Lechler calling it the way it is. Lechler has made enough money and earns the right to be on a winning team. After gutting through the past 7 years, he has every right to be upset with teh boat being rocked.

TC would fit in well for the Cowboys if they didnt already have Garrett. I think we all knew Hue was going to be replacing TC anyways with AD rolling him out time and again to speak to the press. For me, it’s just hard to finally be in this moment even when I’ve been waiting for it.

Oddly enough, I think Tom Cable would be an excellent fit with the Carolina Panthers.
a team that doesn’t want to spend any money for a Head Coach and has 3 very good RB’s to use in that “run the ball, stop the run” approach
that Defense would be 100 times better with John Marshall replacing Ron Meeks as DC too!
January 5th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
The shock and pain has worn off a bit and am willing to let things settle down a bit.
Our next coach will be under enormous pressure to produce, anything less than a playoff win will probably spell his doom. Who would want to walk into that, Parsells type personaly, but any sane HC would run.
January 5th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
How sick would you be as an owner to lose the division to a team with almost half the payroll $152m (Raiders) vs. $83m (KC).
Lets not forget that at the end of the day this is a business.
January 5th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
When Cable said “The Raiders aren’t Losers any longer” probably sealed his fate. While being true, I’m sure AD couldn’t accept the fact that the Raiders have been losers these last 7 years and by extension, AD being the Raiders, Cable was confirming that AD was a loser or at least had been. I’m sure Ad’s ego couldn’t accept that label. “John, off your knees. Handle this guy”.
Enter Herrera – “I’ll do him on the Internet boss. That way we don’t need to break out the overhead projector”.

Well that did it. I have finally had enough.
Darn you Al
I will never buy another Raider coach jersey again as long as I live.
And as for you, Tom. I love you man. You did a great job and I wish you and your pimp hand many good coaching days in the future.
Later dude.
ATTENTION AL
who the hell is our next coach?
You pick the right one and I just might buy his jersey

The shock and pain has worn off a bit and am willing to let things settle down a bit.
Our next coach will be under enormous pressure to produce, anything less than a playoff win will probably spell his doom. Who would want to walk into that, Parsells type personaly, but any sane HC would run.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
8-8 and a sweep of the division after seven losing seasons is not enough so the next head coach will be fired if he doesn’t win 9 or 10?
Hell Al, up the ante. Fire the next head coach if they’re not 8-0 after the first eight games.
January 5th, 2011 at 2:49 pm
the raiders were 8-8 one step way from playoffs then they laid-off their head coach i agree with lechler not a smart move.

When Cable said “The Raiders aren’t Losers any longer” probably sealed his fate. While being true, I’m sure AD couldn’t accept the fact that the Raiders have been losers these last 7 years and by extension, AD being the Raiders, Cable was confirming that AD was a loser or at least had been.

Tom Cable got fired because he went 2-4 outta during the stretch run for the playoffs.
He should’ve been fired LAST YEAR, right? It was a CONSENSUS. The only way he kept his job is 1) Al doesn’t like to pay his coaches for nothing, and 2) he promised the playoffs with a QB not named Jamarcus Russell. In fact, if I remember correctly, the question was something like if Gardowski had been QB from day 1 instead of Russell. Gardowski losing the Miami game sealed Cable’s fate as we simply were not making the playoffs like he said we would.

According to a league source, the Oakland Raiders have signed ten players to “Reserve/Future” contracts.
Wide receivers Damola Adeniji and Shaun Bodiford, fullback Manase Tonga, tight end Kevin Brock, center/guard Alex Parsons, linebacker Quentin Scott, and cornerback Joe Porter finished the season on either the team’s practice squad or practice squad “injured reserve” list.
Running back Louis Rankin, guard Roy Schuening, and defensive tackle Tommie Hill were also signed to “Reserve/Future” contracts.

It’s funny how doom and gloom so many are and we don’t even know who the friggin coach is going to be yet. People making predictions on what our record is going to be next year. And, by the way, Lechler’s inflated salary is almost as big a wast of money as JaMarcuss Russells’ salary was. People hitching their franchise wagons to a stinking punter. Since you all have such a hard on for Lechler, maybe it should be his fault we didn’t make the playoffs. It’s just stupid. Punters are right above the water boy and equipment manager on the team. When Uncle Al kicks his a$$ to the curb we are not going to suffer. Hes JUST a punter. So he’s the best. So what. The guy selling peanuts in the stands might be the best ever, but it isn’t going to affect our ability to get to the playoffs any more than the punter will. If it made any f-ing difference at all, we should be there now.

skiingkid68, the biggest thing Al has done recently is probably his most recent bowel movement. Dude is TERRIBLE at finding coaches. We’ve had 3 good coaches in our history, Madden, Flores and Gruden. By the way, Gruden got traded for winning the AFC West numerous times and going to 2 AFC Championships. Bill Callahan doesn’t count because he just yawned on the sideline while Timmy Brown, Jerry Rice and Rich Gannon guided the team to the Super Bowl.

As professional athletes, they will be ordered to fall in line behind Cable’s successor, whose initials are likely HJ (Hue Jackson, the Raiders’ offensive coordinator) instead of JH (Jim Harbaugh, ex-Raiders assistant-turned-Stanford savior).
No, the players aren’t going to stage a palace coup over this. They know who runs A.D. Football Inc. But they won’t like Cable’s departure.
Cable eventually got them to perform well enough for a 6-0 run through the AFC West in this just-completed 8-8 campaign, their first season without at least 11 losses since 2002.
Player displeasure with the Raiders’ latest coaching change could cause rifts, scorn, distrust and disbelief. It took Cable three years to rid the locker room of those visible negatives.
Some angry players will angle for their own exit. Some will mope until that first game check arrives.

Bravo to Lechler for telling it like it is! And if Davis decides to get rid of him…Well, there are only 30 or so other teams that would welcome him with open arms. Then he’ll come to Oakland with his new team and help beat the Raiders by consistently pinning them deep in their own end.

If the next coach is Jackson — or even Harbaugh, which would liven up the Bay Area neighborhood — the Raiders offense may churn along OK. So much else comes with being the Raiders coach, however — mainly answering to Davis, as well as a disjointed locker room.

David Shaw…
Former Stanford standout David Shaw enters his fourth season on the Cardinal coaching staff as the team’s offensive coordinator and his first as running backs coach. He had previously worked with the wide receivers for the last three seasons.
Since Shaw took over the reigns of Stanford’s offense, the Cardinal has dramatically increased its offensive production across the board. Last season, Stanford set a single-season scoring record with 461 points in 13 games and ranked second in the Pac-10 Conference and 11th nationally in scoring average at 35.5 points a game. The Cardinal scored 40 or more points in four games and went over the 50 mark in wins over No. 7 Oregon (51) and No. 11 USC (55).
The Cardinal also led the Pac-10 and ranked 19th nationally in total offense, averaging 427.6 yards a game. The 5,559 yards in total offense established a school single-season record while the average ranked as the sixth best single-season mark in school annals.
Shaw was instrumental in the development of wide receiver Ryan Whalen, a former walk-on who earned second team all-conference honors last year, and Chris Owusu, who led the Cardinal in touchdown receptions in 2009.
Shaw came to Stanford along with current head coach Jim Harbaugh from the University of San Diego, where he spent the 2006 season coaching the nation’s top-ranked Division I-AA offense as the passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. Under his guidance, the high-powered Torero offense helped USD capture the Pioneer League championship and NCAA Division I-AA Mid-Major national title.
The 2006 squad finished 11-1 overall and led all NCAA Division I-AA teams in passing offense (293.3 ypg), total offense (494.25 ypg) and scoring offense (42.83 ppg). Quarterback Josh Johnson was one of four offensive All-Americans on the team and led all NCAA Division I-AA quarterbacks in passing efficiency (169.0 quarterback rating), touchdown passes (34, co-leader), points responsible for (24.33 ppg) and total offense (336.7 ypg), while throwing for 3,320 yards to also lead the country and running for another 721 on the ground. He added 11 rushing touchdowns and even caught one TD pass.
Shaw had coached the previous nine seasons in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles (1997), Oakland Raiders (1998-2001) and Baltimore Ravens (2002-05).
Shaw’s most recent coaching job in the NFL with Baltimore included a stint as the quarterbacks and wide receivers coach from 2002-04 before working solely with the wide receivers in 2005. His tenure included a 2003 campaign that reaped an AFC North title and a 10-6 regular season record. Derrick Mason set a new franchise record with 86 receptions under Shaw’s tutelage in 2005 when he also posted the third-biggest season to date in terms of receiving yards with 1,073. Mark Clayton set a franchise rookie record for receptions in 2005 when he caught 44 balls for 471 yards.
After three seasons of quality control with the Oakland Raiders from 1998-2000, Shaw moved into the role of quarterbacks coach in 2001 as the Raiders won a second straight AFC West title and finished the regular season with a 10-6 mark. Quarterback Rich Gannon made the NFL Pro Bowl for the second straight season and ended up as the game’s MVP. Gannon had the third-most prolific campaign of his 16-year pro career during the 2001 regular season, throwing for 3,828 yards on 361-of-549 passing (65.8%).
Shaw began his NFL coaching career as the quality control with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1997.
His first two seasons of coaching came in the collegiate ranks at Western Washington, where he coached the outside linebackers in 1995 and the tight ends in 1996.
David’s father, Willie, was an assistant coach at Stanford from 1974-76 and again from 1989-91. He coached for a total of 33 seasons, including 15 in the NFL with the Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers and St. Louis Rams.
A four-year letterwinner at Stanford from 1991-94 as a receiver, Shaw was a member of Stanford’s 1991 Aloha Bowl team coached by Dennis Green that finished the season with an 8-4 mark and was the third-highest scoring team in school history. He was also on the Cardinal’s 1992 Blockbuster Bowl winning squad coached by Bill Walsh that had a 10-3 overall mark. Shaw finished his Stanford career with 57 catches for 664 yards and five touchdowns.
Shaw also competed in a varsity track meet and a varsity basketball game while at Stanford before graduating in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology.
A native of Union City, Calif., David and his wife Kori are the parents of three children, Carter, Keegan and Gavin.

I find it interesting that Davis doesn’t believe in locker room chemistry, when his most impressive teams during the Madden years were actually really tight. They all had great chemistry together. Mostly because they were outcasts or reclamation projects or straight up nut jobs. But they all bonded together and considered themselves family. The result: the Raiders became the winningest team in professional sports and the most feared team in the NFL. Those players all point to Madden as the glue that held them together. So, you see Al, team chemistry and coaches are important. Always have been, always will be. Stupid old fart!
January 5th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Back on Sept. 30, 2008, Davis said of the Raiders’ revolving coaching door: “I do believe that it’s good to have one guy for four or five years.” Four or five years? That indeed was worth doing with John Madden, Tom Flores, Art Shell (the first episode) and Jon Gruden.
Cable should have lasted that long, too.
“The spirit of the team is of utmost importance,” Cable said upon replacing a fired-with-cause Lane Kiffin. “All of these guys, to be professional football players, have been winners. They are winners. They didn’t get here because they were secondhand or they couldn’t achieve or any of that.
“So you gotta draw that out of ‘em. You gotta take ‘em back and find that spirit, and then you gotta do it collectively as a team. And that’s what we’ll plan to do.”
That’s what Cable did. That’s what his successor must do, too.

January 5th, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Lota angry Raiders fans. But let put things in a bit of perspective here.
- Cable gave us 4 of the most amazing Raiders performance of last decade in games aginast Broncos(in Denver), Seattle(in Oak), SD(in SD) and KC(in KC).
- He also gave us some horrible one sided loss against good teams.
- Had he lost the last KC meaningless game most people would have expected his departure. Raiders would have been 7-9.
- After a 2-4 start following loss to 49ers almost all fans wanted Cable shot on spot, right?
I’m upset at his removal but not mad given all I listed here.
At this point I expect AD to make a run at loser of 49ers HC search. If they get Jim Harbaugh AD goes after Hue. If they get Hue then he’ll go after Harbaugh. He’ll pay Harbaugh about $6M/yr since he loves to pay his boys(remember he bought Tim Brown a gold watch for his going away party). He’ll pay Hue $2.5M/yr which is standard for OC moving to HC role.
Another thing to keep in perspective here is I for one could not see Cable winning SB with his Xs and Os knowledge. His upside was limited. I think Hue has a higher upside than Cable and possibly have what it takes to win a SB.
Now if AD loses both Harbaugh and Hue to other teams then if he was a logical man he’d bring Gruden to put butts in seats of half empty stadium. But AD is a vengeful non-logical, old bitter man and just to piss off everyone won’t do so and instead bring in Jim Fassell.
Just watching this thing play out is a great melodrama better than the actual season itself!!!!!
January 5th, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Harbaugh??????? Buahahahahaha!!!! Yeah right. Al can’t afford him. Or should I say, he can afford him, he just won’t pay him. “Jimmy, you can have free lunches here at the facility. I’ll throw that little bonus in for ya.” The Raiders next Head Coach will be the ball-boy for USC Football.

Why do people make such a big deal out of this? Yes, you could make an argument for keeping Cable, but you could also make one for not keeping him. Anyone who disagrees with either of those statements is either blind or has an agenda. Al Davis obviously feels that Cable is not the guy to take them to the next level. Maybe he’s right, maybe Lechler is.

woah, David Shaw is Willie Shaw’s kid, that is a crazy Raider connection right there. However, I assume Stanford will offer him the HC job and I would take that over the Raiders coaching carousel any day, if I were him. Too bad though, he does sound like a great candidate.

Why do people make such a big deal out of this? Yes, you could make an argument for keeping Cable, but you could also make one for not keeping him. Anyone who disagrees with either of those statements is either blind or has an agenda. Al Davis obviously feels that Cable is not the guy to take them to the next level. Maybe he’s right, maybe Lechler is.
***********************
Part of the rant is the way it was done, an Internet release. No face to face meeting, etc. Classless at best.
The other reasoning is that the fans have FINALLY seen some real progress with a realistic hope of more improvement next year. Now, a lot of us feel that we’ll have to start all over again.
Someone mentioned team chemistry in here earlier. There’s something to be said about that and there definitely was good chemistry between Cable and the team. I don’t believe that extended to HuJack. Team chemistry will definitely take a hit with Cable’s exodus. y anyone’s measurement, that means starting all over again.

I’ll take VY over JC in a NY second.
The thing is VY will be released before traded since nobody will take his huge 2011 salary on current contract. Without a trade why would VY pick Raiders over other suiters? Because “he loves the owner” like Richey Sey? no.
the Redskins will snag him, just watch

Plunkett, 50/50 on Gruden?
Been to 9 playoff games since 1998.
Taken Chris Simms, Brian Griese, Brad Johnson, Jeff Garcia, and Rich Gannon to the playoffs.
Was 8-8 with Donald Hollas as starting QB in Oakland.
I think there’s a better than 50% chance he’s a good coach.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:05 pm

-Haynesworth

Washington is happy enough with Rex Grossman.
Two 300-yard games, 7 TDs and 4 INT in 3 starts.
He’s the Shanahan’s family “proof” that they know what they’re doing, so they’ll start him next year.

January 5th, 2011 at 4:08 pm
No way Old man Al pays Harbaugh pays 6-7 million to be HC. Besides, Al would not want Harbaugh to receive credit for turning the organization around. Al wants that all for himself. As for Lechler, he would receive the Marcus Allen treatment if Al was able to put another punter on the roster. Maybe Seabass can punt again
January 5th, 2011 at 4:09 pm
Vince Young
26-13 lifetime record.
98 QB rating was FIFTH in the NFL this year.
Higher completion % than JC this year.
10 TDs and 3 INT = better ratio than JC.
8.0 yards per attempt = mad bomber, NOT afraid to cut it loose.
I don’t care if he’s immature.
The guy wins, and produces.
Isn’t that what being a Raider is supposed to be all about?

If you’re going to argue against Young, use the above for reference.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:09 pm
Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams has finally come to the realization that his coach, Jeff Fisher, and his quarterback, Vince Young, simply can’t coexist.

VY will be released per statement from the Titans ….cya Campbell. You bess believe Al will go after Young.
The Cards will surely be interested too. Young will have his pickings
January 5th, 2011 at 4:10 pm
VY cant throw the ball far enough for the old man’s offense
January 5th, 2011 at 4:11 pm
Hill,
I like evidence, stats, win/loss records.
Young has been better at all those things than JC, thus would be an upgrade.
He made a pro-bowl receiver out of Kenny Britt.
I mean, he wins 2 out of every 3 games in his lifetime.
Something to be said for that.
Look how the Titans derailed once he got hurt.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:11 pm
Jim Harbaugh has respect for Al because he has not coached the Raiders. I think Jim will look to keep respecting Al while fattening his pocket with Andrew Luck as his QB…
January 5th, 2011 at 4:11 pm
Even if Al were to hire a “man with a plan”, would he give him the authority to carry it out?
We all know that is not possible.

Playing for Jeff Fischer is not the same as playing for Al Davis. That’s what you can’t get the FF people to understand.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:15 pm
Young is a better talent than Campbell. I don’t know if he will ever apply it on a consistent basis as we will love to see.
If Young were to come here we’re definitely a stronger team for it.
He still needs some work but what he can become in this offense is mind boggling unreal!
January 5th, 2011 at 4:15 pm
VY’s head is the problem. Guarantee you he is on psyche meds.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:15 pm
Just my opinion Alex.
I’m surprised he’s on your list because he’s not a Palmer, Brady, Rogers type of passing QB.
VY made Kenny Britt????
That’s an interesting take.

January 5th, 2011 at 4:17 pm
If we’re going to actually use your brains,
Vince Young is better than Jason Campbell at EVERYTHING required of a QB.
Fewer turnovers, fewer sacks, more accurate on throws down the field, more running ability, more big plays, WINS.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:18 pm
VY and accuracy should never be used in the same sentence
January 5th, 2011 at 4:18 pm
8-8 is positive???

Well the the old man’s health has been called into question the last year…think maybe with the candle growing a little dimmer he opens up his wallet and pays the man some crazy amount of money.

January 5th, 2011 at 4:24 pm
first comment ever after reading this blog for several years now…
Lechler is the only player with enough leverage to speak on Mr. Al Davis because he is the only player, in the last 20 years or so, who Davis drafted, who has dominated his position like no other, period. Cable’s demise was his inability to do what Hue Jackson has done, and that was take control of the offense and score points. Football is a business, as we all know, cable became expendable in Raiders business. In Cable’s first year as interim coach he tried a fake field goal with jackasskowski and failed so miserably ( think it was against KC) I had to turn off the tv in disgust… I thought that this guy had no business coaching and I want Bill Cowher now please… We stuck with him and he did get better and had so much respect from players and fans especially after breaking Randy Hansons jaw…. Hell yeah we did…. And that’s all he ever was, a good solid individual with honor and demanded respect…. But that can only get you so far because in the NFL you better back your tough ass with some football intellect, player and coach alike…. All I know is that Mr. Davis better hope we can retain hue so we can keep this offensive continuity going…. If not he better try and get a coach and gm all in one… Bill Cowher is a proven champion and could handle all of it no problem… Everyone says yeah right but Al Davis must get back this locker room and the only way to do that is bring in a football god ( parcells or cowher )… Or else we might be stuck with another 7 years of being fans of an NFL franchise that plays worse than high school kids… One more thought before I’m out… If we got rid of jamarcass before last season Cable would still be here… Mr. Davis better have something up his sleeve or this might be the final act of insanity before he gets carted off to Napa State hospital…

If someone can tell me what Campbell does better than Young on the football field, that would be a scientific breakthrough.
VY wins. He gets his WRs involved. He throws down the field more. He wins. He doesn’t turn the ball over. Doesn’t get sacked as much. He leads comebacks than end in wins, not throws out of bounds.
Yeah, let’s pass that up because we don’t “like” the guy. And you call yourself fans of an Al Davis team?

Im not a VY expert but I think Jeff Fisher got pissed at the guy cause he didn’t learn the offense. Maybe VY won a ton by winging it on a two page offensive game plan, but I don’t think that would last, so Fisher asked VY to leave.

I’ve been critical of Campbell, but seriously, anyone who prefers Vince Young is mental. Campbell improved as the year went on. He did an okay job in KC the other day.

Only Raider fans put a lot of stock into the whole “improved” thing. They view Raider players like their own children playing little league. Just want to give them a million chances. Raider fans love the Raiders and their players so much. It’s definitely unique. You don’t get this out of any other fan base. Every other fan base in the NFL, it’s put up or shut up. With the Raiders, we’ll keep lousy players for years, with fans saying, “be patient, give him one more year, I believe in the kid.”. Weird.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:36 pm
Silver,
Young was 5th best QB this year if you use ratings (and you saying he was below-average insinuates you’re judging him against other QBs).
Young was 5-3 before getting benched.
When was the last time we were 5-3?
Our owner kinda likes winning. Young wins. 26-13 lifetime record.

Career record of 31-16 = WINNER
(JC is 26-36)
January 5th, 2011 at 4:41 pm
Looking at the Campbell vs Young stats is very interesting. It begs the question did they really give VY the oppty to really succeed? Thinking about it I don’t think he ever had WRs in Tenn.
Campbell has only a slightly better completion percentage than VY and I mean slightly. They both hover around 60%. But Campbell has almost double the yards and attempts (and better WRs).
Campbell has a more consistent QB rating around the mid 80s with VY more erratic but he has played in less games.
Campbell has TWICE as many sacks taken than VY (which may explain his current frailness).
Believe it or not they average about the same rushing ypc.
Its hard to judge because looking at the stats I can’t say for sure if VY has REALLY been given the right opptys to be a successful QB. (Fisher keeps pulling him).

January 5th, 2011 at 4:41 pm
Trying to compare the Raider Organization with what Arizona did, or such and such did, is crazy, delusional, ignorant.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:42 pm
Btw, that Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt, had just turned down the Raiders.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:42 pm
Looking at the Campbell vs VY stats I don’t think they tried to develop VY the same. Not a lot of opptys in comparison.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:42 pm
K2, you have so many lovers in here.
You need to inform them that while there is a Raider tradition of playing “man to man”, it is reserved for the defense and not for them to get their freaky man-love-fest on.
Kinda creepy you have such a following…do they come here from the 49er board???
January 5th, 2011 at 4:42 pm
Macho,
it goes to show me that the Titans are concerned with other things besides winning.
How else do you explain finishing the year 1-7 after benching your starter, who was 5-3.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:44 pm
Alex
So you would welcome back Randy Moss and or like to have TO here because they WIN TOO!!!
Why did New England let Moss go if he is such a talent.
Because Head cases are not worth the trouble in this league.
Are you suggesting that Fisher was wrong and Young deserves another chace to lead an NFL team?
January 5th, 2011 at 4:44 pm
If the Raiders have a draft like they did last year it won’t matter who the coach is.

And now you’re talking about organizations and owners.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:45 pm
Uh oh….Vince Young getting released. Oh man…
Davis might just go crazy here
January 5th, 2011 at 4:45 pm
Why did Mr. Davis act so quick on letting Cable go? He didn’t need to make a decision for at least another week. My guess is he needs to act quickly if he is going to get Harbaugh on board. Also, with Al letting SF talk to Hue, maybe he is okay with it because he wants Harbaugh.
I personally want to see Harbaugh as the next HC, but I would be fine with Hue.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:45 pm
I’m convinced. Sign VY, whathehell!
January 5th, 2011 at 4:46 pm
KK can see right through you MR.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:47 pm
davis won’t sign anyone until there is a CBA…
unless it’s a player on the roster willing to do it cheap…
January 5th, 2011 at 4:47 pm
The true measurement will be what do they (TENN) get for VY in trade?
I am guessing a 4th or 5th round pick.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:47 pm
lol KK, “your” Raiders have employed
Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter, Josh McCown, Tuiasosopo, Daunte Culpepper, Jamarcus Russell, Bruce Gradkowski, and Jason Campbell
during this historic period of suck.
Why oh why would I focus on the QB?

Ryan,
1st of all, no way in the world Harbaugh comes here. Especially with a $6M asking price.
2nd of all…Harbaugh has not coached one NFL game. And how many college coaches have busted in the NFL.
Davis cannot get the top tier coaching prospects.
Hopefully Al just gets Hue to sign so the team can move on!
I am concerned that the Raiders might lose him too. And if that happens….welcome back to 2006!

If Moss or TO were here, and we were WINNING, and they were being immature,

They have the same NFL head coaching experience.
They’ve both been assistants in the NFL.

I would take winning with Moss for 3 years, and dumping him in the 4th also.
NE actually brought him in.
Vince Young wins. You’re saying don’t even bother?
You can’t really use NE and Moss as an example then.

Why do people expect AD to make a logical decision here? He’s very emotional.
AD Loves HCs and players who adore him and are submissive and kneel to kiss his ring. Remember he’s an old school NY kid at heart with a huge ego who can’t care less what fans or players expect of him. Once you know that fact then you’ll understand his decisions.
I just hope Jim Fassell or Dennis Green aren’t his choice!

You cant win when you are sitting on the bench and spending your off time trying to kill yourself resulting in your coach and mom talking you out of it.

From Thomas Howard:
But I also think the next Head Coach of the 49ers will be either Hue Jackson or Jim Harbaugh. I wonder who lands where?
half a minute ago via ÜberTwitter .
I personally believe the next Head Coach of the Raiders will be either … Hue Jackson or Jim Harbaugh ???
January 5th, 2011 at 4:57 pm
Hwnrdr,
Hue Jackson is no Cable. Hue has a legit reputation around the league, so Al won’t be able to leave have Hue do all the off-season head coaching stuff without actually giving him a head coaching contract.
So, Al will likely get turned down by some big names, (possibly playoff team assistants) and give Hue the head coaching job by the week after the Super Bowl.
Most likely, by next week.
January 5th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
Maybe if VY is lucky, he can be sent to jail and turn his career around…kidding.
But it is funny how the fan base comments (from many different boards) about VY sound really similar to Vick from about 1-2 years ago.
“Head case, not a true QB, does not have accuracy and cannot learn a play book etc.”
January 5th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
Silver,
he kinda did win. He kinda kicked our a$$es. He then beat the Giants, Cowboys, and Jaguars also.
Again, aren’t the Raiders and their fans about…
Winning?
January 5th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
Alex,
A couple of things.
You are right about Harbaugh but its all a moot point. THERE IS NO WAY he’s going to select a coaching assignment with Al Davis with other much more attractive options.
As for Vince Young. He acts like a child. No discipline and he can’t throw consistently. Do you really want to see a bust like that in Oakland?
Hell no!!!!!
January 5th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
666, You are a MORON. Everyone knows Courtney did it!

Dutch, good points, even though both Vince and Vick have always been winning QBs whose offenses do just fine.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:04 pm
SnB,
I agree that Jim will likely turn us down.
On Young though, how do you define “can’t throw consistently”?
Does JC throw consistently? What does that mean?
If Young is completing more passes, for more yards per attempt, turning the ball over LESS, taking FEWER sacks, and winning MORE games,
Again, I WANT my QB to be pissed if I bench him for a 48-year old Kerry Collins who then goes 1-6 after my QB was 5-3.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:04 pm
VY in an organization like the Oakland Raiders???
Not a good fit.
He needs to go to Bellichick or some other, stable, well- run place.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
Al Davis has every right to do as he pleases with his football team.
However the NFL, being a cartel, has every right to banish those franchises that are not carrying their weight.
Throw the bum out!
January 5th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
I don’t think VY and Fisher were a good match anyways! Maybe, like Vick, VY needs a change of scenery…but not sure if he really wants to play with his head and heart anymore!
January 5th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
i really think this season boiled down to luck. We could have beaten Indy, but the game was tanked by ourselves and the referees who wanna make sure that nfl poster boy peyton is in the playoffs. had we been in it still, the raiders being in is just as good for the NFL, thus those phantom calls would not have been called.
Kansas Shi-ttty got lucky with buffalo on a missed field goal as they got lucky with Janos shank in AZ.
deep down inside they know who the real bosses of the AFC west are, and they are feeling like the 7-9 Seattle seahawks right now.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:06 pm
KK,
you do realize our players almost never get in legal trouble? Russell did AFTER he was let go.
This is actually, as far as player behavior goes, a very stable organization.
Young got ticked off at being benched. For 1-5 Kerry Collins. That’s a good thing.

the fact you can’t stick to the last 7 years, other than one of our guys getting robbed and beat up in Vegas, is impressive compared to many other teams.

The other one got benched twice.

I respect VYs record for what it is. But this guy is said not to put in the work, gets in trouble off the field, possible psychological issues and a disruption to the locker room.
This franchise does not and cannot handle a petulant child like VY.
He’s never thrown for more than 2500 yds and my guess is his completion% is bad.
I stick with JC. His willingness to work well and persevere is more likely to lead to results than a roll of the dice with Vince Young

Weird having to argue actually IMPROVING the talent at our QB position with a QB that has a 67% winning percentage vs one that’s below 50% and is also better by every QB measurable that matters (turnovers, yards per attempt, sacks, TD / INT ratio, completion %, wins).
Especially when our new head coach benched said QB twice while having a cupcake schedule.

you don’t have to guess. Young had a higher completion % than JC this year, turned the ball over less, took fewer sacks, all that.
Again, we’re RAIDER FANS.
We don’t want winners if they’re not role-models?
I don’t get pleasure from watching JC lose games, just because he’s nice outside of the field.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:16 pm
Basically,
as far as talent, and winning, Young is a stock on the rise that you can get for cheap,
and Campbell just had his worst year of an already bad NFL career.

hue jackson equals 5 wins next year. write it down.
of all the poor decisions al has made in the last few years, this one might prove to be the worst. tom cable is by no means bill walsh, but he had this team pointed in the right direction. i can’t believe i got fooled again. to think big al has a shred of lucid rationallity left truly makes me a dipsh!t. what a dusty, senile prick..
back to al’s bad decision making. here is a list of decisions al has made in the last 10 years or so that are lass shortsighted than firing tom cable:
-drafting jamarcus russell over calvin johnson
-trading jon gruden
-drafting heyward-bey over crabtree
-hiring art shell/tom walsh

1) Cable coaching better this year?
2) Hue Jackson arriving and doubling our points, improving our offense from 28th to 9th?
3) Us playing a weak NFC west and AFC west?

Crazy KK,
they would rather lose with nice guy Collins than have VY win and be ticked off when he’s benched for said Collins.
I mean, that team just TANKED once Collins took over.
Can’t you make an argument that Collins or Fisher were the bigger problem?
January 5th, 2011 at 5:25 pm
Think it’ll be Hue. Think Harbaugh would be the best and if Al ever wanted to spend the dough it could happen.
But for sh!ts n giggles put me down for my dark horse pick … McDaniels.

Galactic,
yeah, we had bad luck on that kick,
but KC played the same Cardinals and thumped them 31-13.
They played the Titans and thumped them 34-14.
They thumped Jacksonville 42-20.
They beat the 49ers 41-10.
We didn’t have the talent to beat those teams. That’s all.
—-
blame it on the A – A- A- A- A -A Al DAvis… not really.. lol… or at least totally… the qb carousal did not help.. i think there is much blame to go around.
you are right about those wins and losses… man coverage bit us in the butt even if it was our strength… that Jacksonville run was because the dbs backs are turned.. that crabtree TD was because zone is not practiced enough…
despite that.. we were only inches and luck away from winning the division with a two game swing that was within reach based on pure luck…
its not about the talent.. no doubt we have that and the league knows that.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:27 pm

Oh, you mean when he got ticked at being benched, and threw his shoulder pads into the crowd AFTER the game?
Ehhh, I can handle that.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
I think the suicide threats and nightclub brawls must have pushed Fischer over the edge.
I think the players support Fischer over VY as well.

True Galactic,
although “traveling” to san francisco isn’t an excuse to lose. That’s like a home game.
Same in Arizona. Boat-load of Raider fans down there, bad QB, bad team, and we lost.

in respect to continuity and stability in contrast to a qb carousal problem… Arizona, a much lesser team than SD, could well have been JC’s breakout game

Silver,
Young was 5th best QB this year if you use ratings (and you saying he was below-average insinuates you’re judging him against other QBs).
Young was 5-3 before getting benched.
When was the last time we were 5-3?
Our owner kinda likes winning. Young wins. 26-13 lifetime record.

I’d be 26-13 as well if I had Chris Johnson to hand the ball to…

that’s the weird thing though,
the players “rallied” around Fisher and went 1-7 to end the season?
Doesn’t seem like they really rallied around anything.
Maybe they preferred winning with Young. At least they should have.

And being “happy” in the clubhouse means jack squat when it comes to winning.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
i blame the AZ and SF game on bad coaching for not calling the proper time outs that made for a delay of game… without Schillenz or a big veteran wide receiver, those penalties are not so costly…
January 5th, 2011 at 5:36 pm

How bout Goldie Hawn (Wildcats). Maybe James Jett.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:37 pm
That’s all we need here is a Black Head Coach, and another Black QB is pink shades?
I have a feeling you would like that Alex7, or whatever your other handles are.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:38 pm
The only valuable skill VY would bring to the Raiders is that he can run. Behind our crappy line that skill is a premium!
January 5th, 2011 at 5:38 pm
you can blame those losses to weak nfc west teams on the bad play calling from our O coordinator who many think is a suitable and better head coach…
January 5th, 2011 at 5:38 pm
well Galacticus, the timeout coach is gone
If your QB goes 8 for 21, for 80 yards, and 2 interceptions, with 0 tds
calling a timeout should be the least of your worries.

Galacticus,
I’ve heard that “bad playcalling” excuse before. But I’ve never understood it.
We couldn’t run the ball (Patrick Willis was a monster). Bush got stuffed all day.
When we called a pass play, I would think there are usually at least 3 options on receivers. How do you fault the play-caller when the QB throws it to the other team, or misses the open receiver?
For 60 minutes.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:41 pm

I like the skill of 10 Tds, 3 INT, 16 sacks (9 games)
much more than

When did you Raider fans go from wanting
JUST WIN with a bunch of characters on your team…
to wanting nice guys who don’t win??
If someone can tell me what Campbell does better than Young on the football field, that would be a scientific breakthrough.
VY wins. He gets his WRs involved. He throws down the field more. He wins. He doesn’t turn the ball over. Doesn’t get sacked as much. He leads comebacks than end in wins, not throws out of bounds.
Yeah, let’s pass that up because we don’t “like” the guy. And you call yourself fans of an Al Davis team?
Isn’t that the epitome of Davis?
Just Win
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I agree. It’s a big reason I became a Raider fan in the 1st place. The renegade persona. Who cares, as long as you win. A lot of people on this board want every position on the team filled by a choir boy.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:44 pm
true Galacticus,
unfortunately we had 5 of those QB games this year.
Can’t make the playoffs when 1/3rd of your games are sabotaged by QB play.
Thus my arguments for upgrading the position.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:44 pm
My worst fear now is that Al thinks Vince Young can be successful in Oakland.
I envision a training camp with Campbell, Young, McNabb, and Orton battling for the starting job.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:44 pm
so what do you say Al, (name pun intended), the qb is the problem for our demise this season? i am someone who agrees that it could have been much much better… and the carousal did not help in hindsight… for i am man enough to admit i was a Grad supporter even though i wanted JC to succeed
January 5th, 2011 at 5:45 pm
I’ll take VY. Guy just wins. Pair him up with our ground game and deep routes opening up big gains when a QB tucks it and runs and that could be a real nice fit.
How many times did Campbell pick up 15 yards before a defender was in sight this year? And Campbell is only a slightly above average runner for a QB. Vince is elite.

I’ve been following this team since 1967. I’ve lived through the highs and lows and supported them all the time. Not this time. I have no further interest in the Raiders with Crazy Al in charge. He used to have some common sense. Just look at the last several coaching hires. Just look at the last several high round picks (exclude this year). Now he screws Cable, the one guy who got the ship off the reef. I’m going to find another team to follow after 43 years; one that doesn’t go through this cycle of nonsense every time you turn around.

I’d go Orton, Young, Campbell, and McNabb.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
Al always takes his time when maiking decisions but he’s fires Cabes the same day Jim Harbaugh gets back in town….. It really wouldnt surprise me If Al spends the money on Harbaugh. He’s dying and wants a Superbowl

_____________________________
The only reason Britt disappeared is because he was injured from Week 8 though Week 14. His stats weren’t bad the last 4 weeks with Collins:
Wk15 – 6/128/0
Wk16 – 4/89/1
Wk17 – 5/85/1
January 5th, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Orton finished last year with the same 8-8 record that the Raiders finished this year with.
Curious why he’s seen as so much worse than Campbell, who has never been better than 8-8 in his career.
Oh, one guy was able to throw for 3,600 yards and 20 TDs two years in a row, for whatever that’s worth to an offense. And has a career winning record.

Al doesn’t want a Super Bowl, nor is he convinced he’s dying. Al lives his life in denial, and his mortality is no exception. Does a dying man set a goal for 2, as in TWO, Super Bowl victories before retiring? Al’s up to his same old games. He’ll probably promote Hue.
January 5th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
Actually,
Orton ‘09 = 8-8 Campbell ‘09 = 4-12

Very similar.

I vote for Billy Martin. Sure, he’s dead, but there are more than a few people that think Al is, too.
Billy’s used to a circus. He worked for Steinbrenner AND Charlie O. I think it would be epic.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:04 pm
Olinesux,
post 549 is for you.
He started 15 games twice in Chicago in 3 years.
Went 10-5 and 9-7. Different system there.
You guys act like we have Tom Brady here.

Curious,
if both Orton and Vince Young have a better career win record, and better #s this year,
why is that NOT considered an upgrade over what we have?
Some don’t like stats. Some don’t think wins and losses are everything.
But if we can bring in someone who’s better at both…
doesn’t that define “upgrade”?

Yup, but he is still WAY better than Crapbell McSlow Thinker!

January 5th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
again Oline,
Whatever Orton’s limitations are, if he wins more often over his career than JC, and passes for more yards, more TDs, and fewer INTs, AND gets sacked less,
how is that not an upgrade?
how do you put up BETTER win numbers and BETTER passing #s yet are not considered an upgrade?
January 5th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
If we bring in Vince Young I will officially jump off a cliff…
January 5th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
No worries on we will not have Orton, or Grads. Al will out bid …AL for Vince Young! No one else wants him.

Diff between Orton vs Soup….Orton will throw it downfield and try to score. Soup will check down on 4th and long.
Diff between VY and Drama Queen…VY walks around with the swagger that he will win the game for you and you dont need to worry. JaDrama Queen waits for others to bail him out.
Dear Al, you took away TC. At the very least, give us a decent QB to root for.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:11 pm
See ya the bottom 24.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:12 pm
JC came over to us following a 4-12 year with a career high 20 TDs.
I didn’t read this blog much back then.
Were you guys excited? Why?
January 5th, 2011 at 6:12 pm
I wish Lechler would shut his f’in mouth too. We dont need to lose him, but he is only a punter, not terribly difficult to replace.

I don’t understand some people.
They were HAPPY when JC came in with his 4-12 record and 20 TD career-high?
but would be sad if a guy with a better lifetime record and 33 TD high came in.
Weird.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:14 pm
I would have been excited in April if I was named the new QB over Jameatball. I think (aside from Mistic) that is the extent of the excitement for soup…

January 5th, 2011 at 6:15 pm

why would fans here NOT be more excited if guys with better passing talent and/or a better win % came in now?
Odd to act like JC is better than Orton and Young.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
I dont like soup, but stats arent everything, and I would not be happy at all if Vince came here. We dont need another douchbag me guy thats gonna get upset and leave the field when shiz doesnt go his way… no thanks. Ill take Orton 10 times out of 10 over VY
January 5th, 2011 at 6:18 pm
Hue jackson too stay at oakland even if they bring in Cowher
January 5th, 2011 at 6:18 pm
Please stop this garbage about jc not reading defenses or being slow to read defenses. How can you back up your claim, or make a case with fact? It is blind speculative hype, fueled by ignorance. You have no clue how fast he reads a defense from your vantage point on the couch.
However 68 career td vs 46 int, no int in the red zone for 2 years in a row. These stats say he is quite adept at reading defense, and reading them quickly.
Next
January 5th, 2011 at 6:18 pm
Good, at least you make sense with Orton.
Although I thought having passion was a good thing.
He didn’t leave the field, he tossed his equipment to the fans AFTER the game when he was benched for Kerry freakin’ Collins.
I WANT that to tick off my QB. I want him to want to be the man. Especially when he’s earned it by winning and being the 5th highest rated QB in football. JC, that’s one of his downfalls.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:20 pm
lol Mystic, you’re the first guy to bring it up today.
I think when you are at the bottom of the league in sacks taken (on two different teams)
AND
bottom of the league in turnovers per pass attempt…
you might not be reading the D and getting rid of the ball quickly.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Joe Gibbs benched JC.
Zorn benched JC for Todd Collins, and the team went 3-0.
Mike Shanahan traded him in his prime, for a 4th rounder.
Hue Jackson and Cable benched him. Twice.
I dunno.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
I dont think Vince Young has passion… not the passion I want in my QB anyways. I dont care what the stats say, I will take the word of the organization that drafted him who doesnt think they can win with him. The same organization that went 13-3 when they benched him for… Kerry Freakin Collins
January 5th, 2011 at 6:24 pm
A7,
I dont understand it either. I used to think I was the biggest AD supporter (AIG=Al-is-God) but I dont take him as literally as some on here. Al loves to chase the past. I remember he used to brag that James Jett is gonna be way better than Cliff Branch only to see Jett couldnt carry Branch’s jocks. Because Al proclaimed JC the next Plunkett, these fellas on here start to really believe it too.
To me JC games the system. He knows how to pad his stats. I strongly believe that he refused to throw into the endzone on 4th downs due to the risk of an int and bad stat sheet.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
A7 post 578 too effin funny…so true too.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
Young is a head case cry baby. I wouldn’t be surprised if he put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. The nutt bag does not belong on a football field.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
Mistic, Davis is going to hire Jon Gruden, first thing Gruden’s going to do is cut Jason Campbell and sign former Brave’s pitcher John Rocker as QB. You’ll love it.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
I dont like any of these guys Orton, McNabb, or Young….BUT I know they are wayyyyy better than the idiot Drama Queen/stat whore we have in Oakland.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
Bcz,
being that we’re comparing flawed QBs,
what does JC do better than Young, that helps us win games?
You don’t care what the stats say, so what would you base choosing JC over VY on?
January 5th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
Guess the Cable news brought out the stupid pills for y’all debating the merits of Bud Adam’s VY pet and Kyle “I think I can I think can I wish I could” Orton.
Might as well think up some other crud, say, Nnamdi with his full contract paid, plus the cost of any new HC, plus all draft picks for the next six years for Carolina’s #1.
YOU PEOPLE are just like the psedo-journalists who make up anything and everything just to pass the time to see if any schyte sticks to any surface.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:27 pm
Don’t you think the “organization” in Washington said a lot when they traded JC for a future 4th?
Or that the “organization” in Oakland said a lot when they benched him twice?
How’s that better than another organization benching or getting rid of Young?
January 5th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Lonetree,
you can debate between bringing in Peyton Manning or Tom Brady if you’d like.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Vince Young has Al Davis written ALL OVER HIM. Mark my words, Al will take him and claim credit for his ressurection. Young has carried his team before and yes he can be a head case. However, there has been many head cases arriving in Oakland only to blossom under Al’s environment. Young walks around with a swagger. Drama Queen walks around with an aww shucks.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:30 pm
Lechler may be the best punter ever but he’s a ****ing idiot.
http://www.raidernationstation.com/2011_off_season
HERES a reason why Davis could’ve opted not to keep Cable.
It goes far beyond just keeping around a guy the players like and Davis knows it. I think the players liked Bugle.
You keep Cable, you lose Jackson period.
Whos the more valuable? The guy who is struggling to keep up and under coaching or the guy who steps in and FINALLY gets offensive production?

The lesser of two evils. The Raiders are one of the youngest teams in the NFL, and I wouldnt want some headcase coming in and poisoning the chemistry. Simple as that. I am no Campbell supporter. I dont see JC hoisting a Lombardi for us anytime soon, but again, I am going to take the word of the organization that is about to cut “the 5th highest rated passer” when they say they cant win with the guy.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:32 pm
Lonetree,
Rather than getting emotional about us choosing the QB, why dont you try and make a case on why JC is better than these guys (Orton, Young, McNabb, or even Shaun frickin Hill). I have yet to hear one decent and logical argument from any JC backer on why he is the man here. They point to his 7 wins but they shut up when I tell them to show me one game where JC carried any of those 7 wins. They can’t.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:32 pm
I think Lonetree gets it. Don’t make the mistake of thinking this is some big move by Al. He just didn’t want to renew Cable’s contract. He’s going to promote Hue, same old system, same old game, Hue himself will be gone in 2 years. Nothing changes. Oh, except we’ll be back to 5-11 next year. Or whenever the next season is.
January 5th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
Ahole7,
don’t you understand that the Snyder/Ratface organization in DC is laughed at for its mismanagement of players and roster dysfunction?

When Breese was available i said we should make S.D. an offer they couldn’t refuse. Superbowl MVP 2009.
When Michel Vick was available I said we should move heaven and earth to bring him here. Best QB in NFL 2010.
Now Vince Young is available and I’m saying do whatever it takes to get Young in silver & black. Automatic Playoffs 2011.
No I’m not saying that Young is as good as Brees and Vick, but he’s head and shoulders above any other available QB. He’s a 2 time pro-bowl QB who could definitely lift this team to the next level. It would attract top level coaching prospects too (Gruden, Cowher, Harbaugh) Our next coach would only need to address O-Line problems (provided we can retain most of out free agents)
Do it Al!!

Dont forget Young has led his team a few times on winning streaks. In his first season, he singlehandedly got his team in the playoff if I can recall.
I think the issue between young and Fisher is Fisher is old school disciplinarian. I think Hue Jack would do really well with Young. I can see Hue Jack knowing how to handle Young better than old school Fisher.

And compare their two careers. What has Campbell’s low INT total ever gotten him? What has he ever accomplished? He has low INTS because he checks down for 2 yds on 95% of his pass attempts. This is nothing new, he’s been doing i his entire career. JC’s lack of picks demonstrates his lack of confidence in himself which is why he is not a leader. Favre threw a lot of INTs, but he also threw a lot of TDS, won a lot of games, went to a lot of pro-bowls, and won a Superbowl. You don’t accomplish anything by always playing it safe.

Again I like vy & would love to see him in silver & black. He is a play maker. However to this point he hasn’t been able to avoid the ints. I would rather have less flash and more steady play in my starter, like jc. I will say this though, I don’t believe vy has reached or maxed out his potential. If he ever matures off the field he could be great.

compliment noted. and thank you. point is that some of us have been around forever with regards to the Raiders. the previous years since the Barrett/Callahan/Gannon debacle of a Super Bowl were nothing compared to the heartache of having a great team, perhaps the best team year after year and then failing in the playoffs between 68 and 76.

JC is so steady he refuses to try to win the game for us against Jax and did the same against the Lions a year earlier.
Sorry but JC is no VY. They switched to VY last year and he nearly carried them to the playoffs. Young won eight of his ten starts in the 2009 campaign after they started 0-6. Can you ever see JC doing anything like that….uh no he can’t. The guy has a 40% career winning %.
January 5th, 2011 at 7:04 pm

this is laughable. You can’t really making a case for turning the ball over. Let me see if I get this. So a qb with low int numbers is a bad thing? This dog won’t hunt, so I’m not buying it.

I already broke that story. Don’t you even read the previous posts? Get with it newbie.
January 5th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
It was Al’s idea to draft Shane in the first place. Was there any Raider fans saying,
“oh, we have to get him! We have to get Lechler!” before the ‘00 draft? For any kicker or punter, in any draft? Al’s the one who puts these guys on a pedestal. Then they turn on him. Let’s not get in the way of Al’s karma.
January 5th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
That’s right mofo.
I called JC a fraud and I was 100% right on about that game vs Pitt. Won a bet too as well. BTW, didnt you say they should have put Grad in there sooner after the game? You think I forgot that?
January 5th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
I just heard from an inside source that the Raiders signed another punter. You heard it HERE first. I’ll keep you guys updated as this develops.
January 5th, 2011 at 7:12 pm
Nnamdi and Shane deserves to be on winning teams. They got the money and they can do whatever the effin they want. They got mad skills so I doubt they’d be unemployed anytime soon.

Mistic,
JC is so steady he refuses to try to win the game for us against Jax and did the same against the Lions a year earlier.
Sorry but JC is no VY. They switched to VY last year and he nearly carried them to the playoffs. Young won eight of his ten starts in the 2009 campaign after they started 0-6. Can you ever see JC doing anything like that….uh no he can’t. The guy has a 40% career winning %.

bra please, your hillarious. You penalize jc for winning because macfadden carried our offense. But you give vy all the credit when he had chris Johnson running for 2000 yards!?!?

Says Allen, who signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as a free agent in 1993, “I always felt we had the best personnel in football, but the best personnel wasn’t always on the field. We had to win a certain way or no way. Sometimes we sacrificed winning for a philosophy—or one man’s philosophy.”

Mistic,
CJ played and they were 0-6. They kept everythign the same except for the QB and they went 8-2. They went to the playoffs prior to CJ arriving there.So are you blind or stupid?
btw, Young’s first season went like this….per Wiki…
During the 2006 season, Vince Young led the Tennessee Titans to eight wins including six straight wins. He had a record of 8–5 as a starter. Of the wins, four of them were fourth quarter comebacks, including three straight fourth quarter comebacks.
I doubt you can find anythign in JC’s bio that matches that.

# Mistic1 Tha Supavillain Says:
January 5th, 2011 at 7:04 pm
And compare their two careers. What has Campbell’s low INT total ever gotten him? What has he ever accomplished? He has low INTS because he checks down for 2 yds on 95% of his pass attempts. This is nothing new, he’s been doing i his entire career. JC’s lack of picks demonstrates his lack of confidence in himself which is why he is not a leader. Favre threw a lot of INTs, but he also threw a lot of TDS, won a lot of games, went to a lot of pro-bowls, and won a Superbowl. You don’t accomplish anything by always playing it safe.
——————–
NPZ,
this is laughable. You can’t really making a case for turning the ball over. Let me see if I get this. So a qb with low int numbers is a bad thing? This dog won’t hunt, so I’m not buying it.
Only an impostor fan would say they want a qb that turns it over. We saw that movie this year. It was called Bruce gradkowski
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mistic, are you purposefully being obtuse? If you throw less passes and less touchdowns you will throw less interceptions. This will not lead to success. Evidenced by Exhibit A: The losing career of Jason Campbell.
Are you saying Young and Gradkowski are equatable? Are you saying you’d rather have less TDs, less completions, and less wins so that you can have fewer interceptions?

I say AL just gives the team to RMR and let him pick the coach
January 5th, 2011 at 7:24 pm
Chad Ochocinco-WR-Bengals Jan. 5 – 9:17 pm et
Asked on the radio Wednesday his feelings about Bengals coach Marvin Lewis’ return, Chad Ochocinco replied, “I have nothing to say about that.”
Ocho probably just sealed his fate in Cincinnati. “The only thing I can remember, as of right now, about Coach Lewis, is Coach Lewis throwing me under the bus,” he added. “When it was time to play the Chargers, knowing that I was hurt. That’s the only thing I can remember at this point.” Ocho also said he doesn’t know if the two can coexist. It’s probably not something he should worry about, because Lewis has a contract for 2011 and “85″ won’t.

Some of you guys still crying over Cable. Let it go, man. If Hue gets the job it will be because he deserves it. He brought more intensity and competition to our team not to mention doubling our once pathetic scoring output.
Cable got the job because the other coaches were at lunch and Greg Knapp was in the bathroom.

January 5th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
M
I am about results, the bottom line. It’s no coincidence that after having only 1 game with over 500 yards of offense in 20+ years that the Raiders had 3 such games this season. Also no coincidence that McFadden grew into a top RB in the league this year.
Cable ran the offense last year and scored less than half as many points as Hue’s offense this year. That doesn’t necessarily equate to being a great Head Coach, but if I had to choose between Cable and Jackson it would be Jackson based on RESULTS!
How have you been old friend?

A warning shot across the bow at Lechler? Doesn’t Al have bigger fish to fry right now? Here we are in the biggest Head Coach sweepstakes we’ve been involved in in over a decade, with Harbaugh, Gruden, and Cowher still in the balance, and Al’s worried about getting even with Lechler? Don’t you question Al’s priorities just a little? Is the punter position an issue right now?

For our next Coach, put me down for Craig T. Nelson
January 5th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
Headin’ in the right direction? Sure. But that didn’t have much to do with Cabes. The guy is no good as a HC. I get why ppl are down but really as a HC he was awful.
Don’t let you like for someone get in the way of the performace on the field.
If Hue didn’t come here, we would have looked as abysmal as last season when Cabes had the reigns …man how quickly we forget.

This will all be settled soon. Hue will be the HC and we’ll all be happy for it. Maybe he hires an Assistant OC but still calls the plays. Most of the FAs will be re-inked. They may have liked Cabes but they are not fools – they know who’s the main culprit for the team success.

Im no fan of Tom Cable but the guy did more than enough to deserve another shot. This was the best Raider team in 10 years and he had them playing well despite not having a good QB. Al Davis proves what a joke he has become yet again.
As far as Lechler goes…Any moron that thinks he would shed a tear if he got axed by Al Davis is out of his mind. Hell, the dude has probably had enough and figures hes gonna speak his mind and if he gets dropped…oh freakn well. He would be on the open market for about 30 seconds.

Shane. yep, as a holder for SeaBass he did fine. As a punter non pareil.
So what. Three yards less off of punt average isn’t going to kill Raider special teams.

January 5th, 2011 at 7:57 pm

I wish you would be the strength and conditioning coach of the Raiders. Bring all the boys over to Hawaii and have them train as you once did for the outrigger competitions. No other team in the NFL could stay with them. No way could anyone beat them.
January 5th, 2011 at 8:02 pm
I don’t think so because that prob means a paycut for him. At the end of the day its about $$$$ and he still wants paper. So don’t think he’ll be thrilled to get a pay cut. Will you??

Sign Swayze Waters or someone to league minimum and trade Shane for something. Use the $$ saved to get V-Jax or Sidney rice. Shane your a great punter but the reality is how many games have you really won for us?

M…that would take care of all of the hammies, turf toes, etc! The team should consider working out in the sand!

I mean seriously…. after 8 years of 10+ loss seasons the club finally gets to 500 and doesnt lose a game in division and the coach gets fired??? I swear to God Al Davis still thinks this is the mid 70s and his team has been in the playoffs for 10 straight seasons.
***************
Cable was 17-27 and you act like Al is an idiot for not extending his contract. He was NOT fired. His contract expired and was not renewed. This is absurd. Cable was such a great coach, yet he hasnt been mentioned even once for any vacant position in the NFL. At BEST he will go back to being an OLine coach, if he is lucky.
January 5th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
We could balance the loss of Shane’s leg by cutting down a few penalties every game.
January 5th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
im a raider fan will always be…regardless of what an overcocky punter or qb or reciever thinks…
January 5th, 2011 at 8:09 pm
Dudette,
you are piss*ng down your own hole. You think that every Raider fan feels that the releasing of Barney Rubble was unjust? Hahahahahaha. You must be hoping that TBone elevates your franchise or that somehow Horseteeth swings a deal with Carolina to bring Luck to the Donkeys. Hahahahahahaha.
January 5th, 2011 at 8:09 pm
Cabes is not mentioned quite frankly because he is not good enough. He’s no ‘hot commodity’ to take the reigns. Sorry its the truth although I wish him the best nonetheless.

never said cable is head coach for another team but for the raiders is was a head coach they needed and would take the job, and did good for what he had to work with, i mean jamarcus for two years means failure once we got the qb situation better than him we won some games, the raiders wont ever be a team to change over night they need time cause of al davis they need something consistent al never lets anything be consistent except for him being the same during all these losing years change everyone else but can’t look in the mirror and change himself

NFL.com is reporting that Vince Young will leave the Titans.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81d7c9e9/article/titans-to-release-or-trade-qb-young-fishers-status-undecided?module=HP_headlines
Please Al, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE…Do NOT bring him here.
January 5th, 2011 at 8:26 pm
– “(Tom) had it down pat on how to deal with Al . . . I understand what he went through with head coaches because I’ve been through so many of them. he was able to keep Al’s angerness, I guess you would say, or decision-making, away from the team. It was a big reflection on coach Cable being very much a professional in this whole deal and understanding how to isolate problemsand only addressing the ones that seriously need to be addressed.”
————-
Always wondered when they played poorly if it was a reflection of Als angerness or meddling. And that suspicion goes back to 1981 when they were shut out 3 games in a row. All the way to the 0-fer niner game this year and Miami too. Something very sinister at work here.
Shane wants out. Good luck to him. And so goes another piece of momentum.

– “I tried to talk to (Davis) last night after I heard the news. I didn’t get an answer. I tried to call John Herrera, who’s supposedly the spokesman of the Raiders, and I didn’t get an answer. I tried to call a couple of guys that are with Al, and no answer. So I don’t know Maybe he will (talk to me), maybe he won’t. He probably won’t talk to me after what he hears I’ve been saying the last couple of days.”

Getting back in after a 14 hour day and this is loads of fun. Easy to read between the lines here. Raiders may have to issue a gag order on Shane before long.

NFL source: 49ers are prepared to offer Harbaugh about $5M per over 5 years and believed Harbaugh was ready to accept. Until Miami called.
January 5th, 2011 at 8:38 pm
well i didn’t spend my money this year but that’s not cause i didn’t want to just bought house and had a baby so couldn’t really afford it, but next year i don’t think we’ll have a good team, just when we started to get players want to come to the raiders to play we do this, quentin groves just came to the raiders and he said he was shocked now players will want out or flat out not play for the next coach, i dont think jackson will be able to get the locker room together like tom cable, i honestly thought cable would end up being like a madden nothing close to madden of course but similiar that’s what al cant stand he wants to be the face of the franchise, gruden became chuckie players loved him and so did the fans, al couldn’t have that, cable started to finally turn things around and was able to work with al, the players loved him, al couldn’t take it, he is the face of the franchise so the face is a old dying man that will never be relevant again nor his team as long as he is living
January 5th, 2011 at 8:39 pm
So Al didn’t even make a play for Harbaugh, and is fine with Hue going to SF.
Interesting.
January 5th, 2011 at 8:40 pm
Al has many reasons for his angerness.
Hall raked him
Got money and round picks for Gruden? blew that one
JaMarcus raked him
Still hasn’t shook the Gannon 5 ints’
DHB hasn’t proven to be a 1st rounder
Cable was at the butt end of Als blow hole.

And I believe Cable was not a great coach, but given time he learned the ropes, got to know his players, developed an identity, handled and ugly situation with the bust, all this while learning himself how to be a better coach, had it going, and this year did it with a young team eager to learn.

If you were a potential HC deciding on which team to go with would you rather have a 6-10 team to coach or a team “on the rise” at 8-8 with a ton of talent ready to be taken to the next level?

I’d have to ask myself is this team still on the rise, are they dysfunctional, how much control do I have, what are the chances I choose my own staff, can I implement my own philosophy, and will the talent still be there. I guess I could work for minimum HC salary, but I’d have to make sure the sinister forces behind the deal would be worth the risk.

“As you are aware, we have been engaged in a series of internal discussions over the last month about the future of our football team. We have two critical decisions to make – the direction of the coaching staff and the future at the quarterback position. They are separate issues to me and will be dealt with separately. Today, I informed our general manager Mike Reinfeldt to move forward with plans to begin the process of identifying the next quarterback for our franchise. He will inform Vince Young’s agent that Vince will not be on our roster next season. I want to offer my personal thanks to Vince for all of his positive contributions to the club. These kinds of decisions are never easy and this is especially true for this particular player. I certainly wish that things would have worked out better, but I think it is best for the franchise that we move on at this point. I also informed Jeff (Fisher) today that I was continuing the evaluation of the coaching staff and I am hoping to make a decision soon.”
January 5th, 2011 at 9:01 pm
So going 2-4 down the stretch in a playoff run was good enough for 2 more years and 5 million?
You don’t think the Miami and Jags losses were enough to move on?
January 5th, 2011 at 9:01 pm
The only person laughing harder than us at Al for signing Pakulak is Shane Lechler.

January 5th, 2011 at 9:08 pm
What would you guess Lechler’s value would be on the open market?
Certainly now where near what Al is paying him?
How much does he think Jerry Jones is going to pay him?
January 5th, 2011 at 9:11 pm
Lechler will get us a 3rd rounder in the draft. Or perhaps a 2nd string player at a key position.

My opinion of Al Davis is getting worse by the moment. He takes a team on the rise and ruins it. Does he think HE is the one the team was playing so hard for this year?
If he does, than he truly is delusional. He’s destroying everything good from this past season. He’s self destructive and probably needs to be stopped.
It’s amazing the Raiders have any fans at all after all this garbage.
