coach much credit for Matt Ryan’s development. Ryan came into the league ready to play.

Of course you’ll look for a reason to blame the rookie quarterback.

And look at what this thread is, it’s a chance to blame anyone but JR. The fact is, THE KID IS A ROOKIE.

When it’s 3rd and 12 and he puts the ball right in your bread basket you need to catch it, period.

And I’m starting to think he’s just slinging that ball and it’s so hard it’s bouncing off their hands.

That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard in my life and it makes you look absolutely ridiculous. Seriously, scapegoat whoever the hell you want but Jamarcus is not the reason we’re losing footbal games.

his numbers aren’t getting any better yet aside from 2 games. It doesn’t even seem he’s trying to improve. His work ethic was a question mark when he came out in the draft, and I’m thinking it still is. Sorry, I agree w/ TheRaiderWay, after a while it isn’t just the coach any more. Maybe he isn’t a bust, but he ain’t good. And I don’t think he’s gonna be the QB of the future for Oakland. Oddly, and most people disagree w/ me and I’m sure you will, I think Walter could have been if the Raider’s didn’t ruin his career during the Shell Part 2 era. The one start he had this year after Atlanta, while not spetacular by any means, was more efficient all around for the whole team than most of the Russell games. (NY and DEN were an exception to the rule).

Mike is fine.

From this article:

"From a guy that has been in the organization, that’s been around it, I know just how difficult a place it can be to work," Gannon said. "And they have problems, there’s no question. It’s an organization that is going through a very difficult period. It’s an organization, in my opinion, that is dysfunctional. They have a lot of issues.

"This is not something that I haven’t discussed publicly and privately before with the owner. I’ve talked to Mr. Davis at great length about our philosophical difference of opinion. I believe that you need to have discipline, structure, a system in place, organization. He is a guy that is not a big believer in having too many rules and that’s one of the reasons why that team, in my opinion, hasn’t had any real leadership and hasn’t had any real direction."

Gannon was then asked by Brandt whether the tendency of owner Al Davis to make strategy suggestions makes it difficult for the coach.

"I always said it’s not a tough place to work, it’s an impossible place to work," Gannon said.

Now don’t get me wrong there was no real ugly break up or anything, but I’m sure Davis isn’t to happy w/ him and you know he definitely doesn’t wanna work for the franchise as is. He does go on to say that he left on a high note going to 4 consecutive Pro Bowls.

 a little over critical, but can’t any one else see that he’s not making any improvements. I don’t expect him to be a super bowl QB over night, but I do expect some better decision making. And I do give him praise where praise is due. I liked his runs on Sunday and he does show some ability to mobile. But look at his numbers. Other than Denver part 2 and NYJ, they’re not tha good. There’s no steady improvement. It doesn’t have to be every game he completes one more pass or anything, but just a sign.
