The problem with the Raiders is that they are looking for that “star” quarterback. Gannon was not a “hall of fame, star quarterback”, he was a solid, dependable, better than average, workhorse veteran. He was a LEADER, not a prima donna. He may have earned Hall of Fame status WITH the Raiders, but he wasn’t considered to be “THE ONE”. He BECAME “The One”. The Raiders work better with a decent quarterback who is an “average joe”, like Gannon and Gradkowski. Leave the “star” status to the WRs, RBs, etc. What we need is a solid starter, with a few years under his belt, who can be the leader this young team needs. Someone who will pull them into the huddle and settle them down when things go wrong. Someone who will work with them, not against them or over them. Al never should have wasted his money on “star” talent at the position of quarterback. Our great quarterbacks EARNED their greatness by just going out and doing their job every game, and not worrying about their “salary”. A Gradkowski, Garcia, Gannon is EXACTLY what this team needs to pull it together into a winning season and possible Superbowl. Greats aren’t born……..they are made. All Al needs to do is strengthen the defense a little more, get some better linemen to protect our QB, and we will win some games. Forget the stars, get the workhorses.
