I dont think Al will want to give up on JaMarcus completely and want to see how he reacts to true competition which in retrospect is what we should have done this year as I think handing JaMarcus the job sent the completely wrong message.

Draft a great O-Line man don’t know who because I don’t watch college football but nonetheless I think we should draft a great O-Line man, get a Veteran QB, and sit Russell until he is READY to start.

To draft the Top O-Line man. Brandon Spikes. And sign Jason Cambell. Jason had a great TE in Washinton. And he will love to have Zach Miller. But, we need a vetran WR. I hope Javon steps up.

didnt make any announcements but definitely sounded like he wants to make a change this week.

Jake Locker- very inconsistent on a weekly basis, not overly impressive

That’s because he plays for the University of Washington. Last year, Locker gets hurt and team goes winless. This year, he’s back and the team has at least won a few games despite the Pac-10 being very impressive with possibly five six-win teams. He’s a very good quarterback.

He’d be my pick. He completes over 67 percent of his passes while averaging 305 yards per game. You, KA1Z3R, say that he’s only good because of the weapons he has; however, Colt McCoy has an array of weapons and he’s the guy you’ve wanted all along as you have admitted.

this franchise has proven it’s not good at drafting and grooming a quarterback and with the toxic atmosphere that is currently in Oakland a rookie QB would more than likely flame out like Russell.

I’m for bringing in a veteran (who? we’ll see it’s too early to know who’ll be available at this point) and for improving the talent around the quarterback position.

The Raiders need to find the next Gannon, Plunkett or even Jeff Hostetler who can grab the reins of the club and play quarterback at a professional level.

At this point, I wouldn’t even mind him. I know some people question whether or not he can be an NFL quarterback. Still, he’s a winner. If Florida wins the national title again with him under center, it’s something I’d consider if the situation arises. At that point, he will have cemented his legacy as one of the greatest leaders of all time. He’d bring in a winning mentality. They said Vince Young couldn’t do it, but he’s developing nicely as someone who wins games. He just flat out wins football games. I think Tebow can be that guy. There are still at least four other quarterbacks, I’d take before him. I’m just saying that if the situation arises, consider your options.

If you want a shot at winning against us, you guys need to start Gradkowski. Mobile quarterbacks have messed us up this year(See Roethlisberger, Ben, who despite us beating Pitt, was their lead rusher). If J-Marc starts, it could get ugly really fast for you guys. Not trying to troll or anything like that. Just stating facts. Best of luck to you on Sunday. I’m worried about Asomugha(sp?) matching up on Ochocinco. He may take 85 out of the game completely because he’s a damn good corner.

I would love it if we released Russell(ain’t happening, I know). Drafting Tebow might be okay especially since we have Louis Murphy, so if he’s in the second round then get him. I’d really draft a defensive lineman for the first pick. Then maybe a QB if Tebow is still around. Signing Jason Campbell would be awesome to compete with Bruce, Tebow, and Russell for the job. I hope Bruce does well and that we could see a glimmer of hope and it appears he’s a real leader whereas Russell could care less about leading anyone. He’d rather blame the whole team for the loss while he sits back and receives a huge paycheck for his crappy numbers. One of these days Davis will have to wake up and see that Russell is not the elite player he thought he drafted and will take action.

I’d like to see possibly:
Jason Campbell in a Raider uniform for a veteran QB to compete with Bruce.
Draft a DL with first pick.
Draft Tebow if he’s still around in the second.(I don’t think he’d mind being the 3rd stringer to start off with. Joe Montana worked his way up, so why can’t he.)

McCoy, Bradford, and maybe Mallet may command big money to sign so I think it’s out of the question with Russell’s contract. I think we need a leader at QB that’ll motivate the whole team and rally to win us games. We wouldn’t be that bad a team if the QB spot got more production opening up the run game that has been good. If the offense is on the field more, then our defense will actually be able to rest more instead of being on fumes by the 3rd-4th quarter. 3 and outs have got to stop. Lechler should not be constantly on the field kicking punt after punt. Lechler’s awesome(thank God), but it’d be awesome if we didn’t see so much of him.

JC would be good, but the o-line is questionable. However, it is an improvement over Washington (barely).

Memo to the Crypt Keeper: NO QB IN ROUNDS 1-3!! TOO MANY NEEDS TO TAKE QB!! OL, DL, LB, CB. I would fix DL, then OL, then CB, then LB, then whatever else is needed. CB because someone needs to light Chris Johnson’s fire.

He is NOT a good fit for the Raiders as they stand; weak blocking and poor run game. He would panic under pressure but is actually excellent a picking apart defensive sets and running a drive.
It’s really not important that we get an outstanding QB,… look what Denver has done with Orton. Everyone here whined and complained that they were getting a mediocer QB and then shut up about week 4. It’s not about the draft, it’s about developing the team and getting rid of what DOESN’T work… i.e. JaMarcuss

We’ll get to see what Bruce will really do and if this lights a fire in Russell to become a more serious QB. If not, I feel next year will be Russ’s last year in a silver and black uniform.
