PrintRaider nation, I cannot tell you how happy I am that J-Partiestoomuch Russell is on the bench. I was becoming LIVID with his lack of caring. He needs to pick himself up by the bootstraps and get himself ready to play NEXT year, the rest of this season should belong to the QBs who have cared all along, Gradkowski and Frye.
Today, the team has a chance to show "Him" how much they care and he doesn't. In fact, this could be a lift to the entire team, although they won't say it to the press, NOBODY likes someone who comes into work late, gets paid top dollar and doesn't work with them in the trenches and doesn't perform, they'd take an ordinary trench digger over the prima-dona any day.
So, Ja-Mumbles is on the bench and we can finally get the 2009 season started!!!
BR---UUUUU----CE!!!! BR---UUUUU---CE!!!!
I will be giving live updates from the parking lot, and then from the game.
Without hesitation, let's get this together RAIDER NATION!!!!
OOOAAAKKAAAANNNDDDDD!!!! RRRAAAIIDDEERRSSSS!!!

Well, let's do it
"'Tis a bird I love, with its brooding note, And the trembling throb in its mottled throat; There's a human look in its swelling breast, And the gentle curve of its lowly crest; And I often stop with the fear I feel-- He runs so close to the rapid wheel." Nathaniel Parker Willis, "The Belfrey Pigeon"

Quarterbacks
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.
