Stupar says he’s on practice squad
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, September 1st, 2012 at 12:46 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Linebacker Nathan Stupar said on his Twitter account he signed with the Raiders practice squad this morning.
Stupar had a big game against Seattle in the preseason finale with 11 tackles. He was the lone Raiders draft pick who failed to make the 53-man roster.

FIRST!!!
September 1st, 2012 at 12:51 pm
Too small to ever play LB in the NFL.
At best, a ST guy.
Maybe he can learn to long-snap?
September 1st, 2012 at 12:51 pm
Nice to see Stupar make the PS.

You really can’t blame big mck for keeping Palmer. We are basically stuck with him this season. Becuase of what we gave up to get him & the fact that they had no one behind him forced the raiders hand in that regard.
The other issue is that every time Carson has hit the field for the raiders his stock drops. He basically has no trade value today as a result of his putrid play
September 1st, 2012 at 12:57 pm
Palmer is going to ball the fk out, get on board or walk the damn plank
September 1st, 2012 at 12:58 pm
Im guessing Nix and Francie got released to bring in that OT and LB.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:00 pm
Happy for Stupar. I thought he looked pretty good last game.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:00 pm
he lacked the one major thing I like in qbs the clutch gene.
*************************
Mistic,
Than what was with your fascination of Soup?
The guy has around a 31% winning percentage in December for his career, compared to close to 60% in September.
He is maybe the most unclutch QB in the NFL.

Mistic1 Tha Supavillain Says: Davis vetoed hujac trying to bring in Palmer & other bungle rejects.////////////No he didn’t. Davis brought in Huejack because of his ties to Cincy and already had his eye on a disgruntled Palmer. Yes, he talked up Campbell but he had no choice ‘cuz the Bruce wasnot Al’s kind of QB and he finally came to accept that Jurassic Russell was a complete waste of skin. This was all documented by Seymour Bush.
…..
Lol you can take Seymour’s version but I will take what hu jack said. He talked to Davis in the offseason about Palmer & Davis shot it down, hu jack saifmd this shortly after the trade was made, right around “the greatest trade in football” comment.
Hu jack blew it

Jc was fantastic in the 4th quarter, on 3rd & 4th down.
I posted those stats last year when I was making the case against Palmer becuase jc was worlds better in this situation. I also posted his game winning drive & cone from behind stats.
Jc was definitely clutch
September 1st, 2012 at 1:06 pm
Before Tom Cable helped Jason Campbell improve his end of year career numbers in 2010, Jason Cambpell was 4-12 in his career in December. An unheard of low winning % of 25.
After going 2-2 in 2010, it helped bring him up to 6-14, at 32%
September 1st, 2012 at 1:06 pm
The Raiders signed offensive tackle Willie Smith, according to several publications that cover the Washington Redskins.
Smith appeared in four games for the Redskins last season, of which three he started. He is 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds.

Jfb you have to have a good team to win in December, the best team jc ever played for was the raiders last year( he was the main reason & heart & soul of the team).
Again I posted the stats last year, so I’m not sure why you are bringing him into this conversation, but qb clutch gene is measured on 3rd & 4th down & in the fourth quarter.
Jc had a rating over 100 in the fourth quartet ahead of guys like breed Rodgers and other notables

Keenan Clayton
Pick Analysis: The Eagles add another undersized, but swift linebacker with the selection of Keenan Clayton. The former Sooners star is a good “run-and-chase” player, who fits in well in the Eagles’ scheme. Philadelphia’s defense struggled last season due to questionable play at the linebacker position, and Clayton becomes its latest attempt to address the need.
OVERVIEW
ANALYSIS
Overview
Clayton was a productive two-year starter for the Sooners’ defense. He lacks great size for the position but is a good athlete who shows quickness and range in pursuit. He is a solid open-field tackler, keeping good body positioning and level in space. He is a competitive linebacker but isn’t great to take on and shed effectively (especially versus interior power run schemes). He has the lateral agility and quickness to be an effective zone coverage defender but is inconsistent with his angles to the ball as well as biting on run fakes, which gets him out of position. Clayton is a good football player but is limited due to his size, which likely will relegate him to a back-up role and special teams duty.
Strengths
Clayton is a solid athlete with a quick first step. Possesses good balance and lateral agility to make plays in space. Technically sound tackler who delivers shots and wraps effectively. Fluid player who drops smoothly and flashes the ability to react to underneath routes. Very productive in the Big-12.
Weaknesses
Lacks adequate bulk and struggles to disengage from blockers. Disappears in power running schemes directed at his side. Does not have the top-end speed to be a true sideline-to-sideline player and cannot stick with running backs and tight ends in man coverage. Struggles to recognize route progressions and falls for the play-action too often.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:12 pm
Where did this report come from that we signed LB from Eagles Keenan Clayton, he is a 2010 4th round pick who looks to be undersized, listed at 229 lbs. MM34 probably weighs more

No jfb, 3rd down is the most critical down in football for a qb. Breaking the numbers down that way allows you to measure individual performance of qbs. You may not put any stock into it, but obviously some one does that’s why the keep the stats.
The real question is why are you still do butt hurt that jc was better than your little hero grad, & Palmer has not won more or out performed jc?
He doesn’t play here but he left his mark on you forever
Lol jc = best raider qb since gannon

Soooo, on to the Raiders. What do you think of the Texans rookie RB Jonathon Grimes. Kid tore it up but the Texans are solid at RB. If we sign someone at this date I’d like then to either be young with a lot of upside (Grimes) or a solid vet to bring stability (Rock Cartwright, for example).

@ Lefty
this is Leinart’s 7th year in the league. If he was a rookie, 2nd or even 3rd year player making those mistakes or being that injury prone it’s not as big of a deal imo
how many FA visits did ML have before he signed here? how many offers on the table? How about the year before that?
Leinart had WR’s Boldin & Fitzgerald in AZ, ya know?
he flat out sucks, even if he is a system fit.
Kyle Boller was a system fit too in Hue Jack’s offense. Did you guys want him starting when Campbell went down?
only 1 guy did … Jhill
September 1st, 2012 at 1:36 pm
I didn’t compare jc to breeze or Rodgers I did post the numbers last year that he had a higher 4th quarter rating higher than them last year before he got hurt. That’s all.
Jc doesn’t play here our playoff dreams broke in two along with his collar bone & the season was over, so was hu jck.
He did well here & should be respected as we havnt had a team that has looked as good since his injury.
Wish him well & let it go..

I don’t know the exact amount, but it’s obvious that Seymour and Palmer have the highest salaries on the team, both journeyman veterans who, at least with Seymour, had some good seasons. I don’t know how much of % they both amount too in the overall payroll and caps, but I am sure is significant, and how much of those salaries are owed if they are waived or retired, in the case of Seymour.
So it would be obvious that Raiders fans would expect these two players to excel and put their respective units on their backs. If let’s say, either one of them still has another excellent year left in their tanks.
I know this is unrealistic for Seymour with arthritic knees or tendonitis to lead with his on the field play, for what it seems in pre-season, we’ll probably see limited action until he finally breaks down.
With Palmer, if indeed has another pro bowl-season like, it would merit the hope, but that was a long time ago, and he has been more in a decline in the last four years. Whether or not he has another one left in him, he’ll be highly exposed in the Knapp offense, unless DMAC is made the centerpiece of the offense, defenses will be coming after Palmer, he’d better be ready to move.

YOur post #71 pretty much sums it all up.
The Raiders have to get a lot of production from those guys getting the paycheck. Their play needs to match their pay expectations.
Palmer, Seymour and a few others should be among the top 5 or 10 at their position.

RRS,when Leinart was in Ariz the reason he didn’t make it was he didn’t want to put in the work.He went to Hou. and they were happy with him.It was reported he realized what it would take to play in the league and he applied himself.He was a FA and followed his QB coach to the Raiders.You don’t know how many offers he had or who might have made them.What mistakes do you speak of?According to those that actually watched him in training camp,he was the most efficient QB in camp-better than superstar Pryor and better than the bum Palmer(sarcasm).Injuries happen.They aren’t the fault of the player.

@ RFL
no player on earth would rather be on the Raiders practice squad than another team’s 53!
thats not possible either, its not about the money
sort of like under contract coaches in the offseason. Can only leave for a promotion
#####################
Got it.
And yeah, I’d be kickin and screaming too if I had to go from the Raiders PS to being a BU or starter on another teams 53!!!

Seymour is done. honestly Reggie should have just paid him $7.5 million to leave instead of $15 million to stay
Seabass, Shane & Condo will retire Raiders when they are ready to walk away from the game …

LB Kaelin Burnett, WR Brandon Carswell, WR Travionte Session and LB Nathan Stupar

Jason Campbell has a winning record with the Raiders. Why all the hate?
—–
JC doesn’t deserve any hate. He is safe and average QB. Never going to win with him. Good back up.

Patriots are talking to Kahlil Bell RB, recently cut by the Bears. This guy is a baller, not a starter but a good solid back-up. I was hoping Reg would give him a call.

Raiders 31
Chargers 17
Rivers leaves the game with a broken collarbone; I am not rooting for this to happen, but we’re going to overwhelm that o-line

Just Fire Baby Says: Why don’t you posts those “Career” 3rd down stats for us to review? Mistic1 Tha Supavillain Says: Lol you can take Seymour’s version but I will take what hu jack said. He talked to Davis in the offseason about Palmer & Davis shot it down, ///////////I read all Raider related news all year long.I never saw any thing resembling that. Don’t suppose you have a link or source or can in any way point me towards that or in any way back that up?////////////////////Mistic1 Tha Supavillain Says: That can’t be disputed it’s a matter of historical record. Where are you keeping all these records? Are they Top Secret? Source ? Link? Or Nada?

There are still idiots in here crying about that check down qb who demoted himself to a backup qb in Chicago?
Jeeeezuz, get a life.

@Lefty
I dont care about Leinart’s work ethic or maturity level. Thats not what i’m getting at. He’s just not a talented football player
I hate keeping a player just because they fit a certain system, then when said player is called upon they fall flat on thier face. Makes me wonder why we didnt just upgrade the player and teach them the system!

Try Some Reality Says: Misty is to Campbell as Debo is to Russell///////////As I am to Palmer. Difference being, I’m right and they’re wrong. Hah.

Raiders 23 Chargers 13
Raiders score 1 offensive touchdown, 1 defensive touchdown, 3 field goals.
Chargers score 2 field goals and 1 defensive touchdown on a pick 6 against Palmer.
Good win but this blog goes crazy with criticism of Knapp (too many FG’s) and Palmer (Int’s).

Honestly tho, I liked JC.
I didn’t love him as our QB cus he didn’t play with a ton of confidence so I didn’t feel like he would fire up and win a game for us, but I did like him because he didn’t make any really bad decisions, so as long as the Oline held up he wouldn’t really lose a game for us either
And with the pathetic defenses that we had, we should really be grateful that JC didn’t turn the ball over anymore than he did.

I liked Campbell a lot as a person, but as a QB he always seemed awkward and tentative. When we signed him, one of my good friends from college (who is an Eagles fan and watched him with the Redskins) said that I should prepare to be underwhelmed. At the time I could have cared less; we were moving on from JaMarcus and I was happy just to have someone who was willing to put in the work for us. Always rooted for the guy, but it seemed to me that he was too worried about making a mistake. Looked no different in the Bears preseason game I saw the other night. I respect Campbell as a professional but would never feel comfortable with him at QB. For better or worse, I want a quarterback who’s ready to take shots down the field.

Who the hell cares about Campbell!!!
Enough already.

Those first 6 games Hue Jackson stopped calling DMC’s # in the 2nd half. DMac would carry 1st half and Hue would phase him out of the 3rd and 4th and just start passing. That’s how games got away from us.. plus defense and our lack of return coverage. Seriously, no coverage at all.
I think if Greg Knapp has any intelligence he’ll keep DMC consistent throughout the game and not depend on Carson.
We got to 8-8 with a pop warner chuck bresnasuck defense. Also take into account Michael Bush faded out towards the end of the season and that we didn’t have Ford/D.Wow/DMC.
Pretty much with Carson, DHB and Glass Schilens and some mystery men we got into playoff contentions in our MIGHTY division.
Our defense is decent now with a mad scientist drawing up some artisan mechanics, no more bresnahan crayon drawings -so we should be much better!
And with that I think we will finally be able to evaluate our starting talent since they are actually now in a real defensive scheme.
We just need to control turnovers on offense and have input on play calling so we can give our play makers an opportunity.
That and Jano needs to learn to make everything under 50 yards and special teams needs to actually block and cover for the return man.
Look at it like this
Jason Campbell was a game manager and probably only let it rip 2-3 times in his life including high school. He looked like a product of hard work, and I’ll never forget that KC game, but it never felt like he was comfortable in his skin as a QB and only seemed to take sure shots -always seemed hesitant. Even his sliding was awkward and dangerous.
Now Carson Palmer, we have a guy who will fit it in when he’s ON, and can make people open just with precision timing.
We won’t need to see Palmer take risks if play calling is adequate and you keep our RBs/FBs relevant.
I say we can win 10+
cause I’ve been watching raider football right out the womb! I didn’t know what was happening, but apparently it made me quite, so my parents just keep feeding me games. Bless their souls :’)
BUT YEAH! all other football organizations and football analysis don’t know what’s up, we’ll make this work NATION!
P.S.
I miss JOHNNIE LEE HIGGINS’ dance moves like everyone else, but BELIEVE WHEN I SAY CARSON CAN BOGGIE

Great Nathan. Don’t fck up this opportunity.
September 1st, 2012 at 2:17 pm
Just exactly why would the Raiders trade CP3?

The other issue is that every time Carson has hit the field for the raiders his stock drops. He basically has no trade value today as a result of his putrid play

I wonder if Stup is a West Brom fan? Eh, probably not.
