As much as I hate to say it Russell last week has earned the right to start for the remainder of the year. Also Zach has had 2 concussions this year… Why force him back?

Charlie didnt look so great last week, hopefully he will have a better grasp Sunday, but if Russell is still in the plans [ which we know he is ] they might as well play him to give him more experience, and see what he can do with a little momentum.

after the phily game. russell came out like gang busters against the jets! first play of the game from scrimmage he gets strip sacked at his own 4yd line. i agree russell needs to start, packing his bags!

According to David White’s latest blog entry, Charlie Frye will be the starter for definite this Sunday.

Raiders quarterback Charlie Frye will, in fact, start Sunday at Cleveland, barring any concussion-related setback, coach Tom Cable said after practice Wednesday.

Frye passed the needed tests earlier this afternoon on time to fully participate in practice.

The defense kept us in the game, and he made a key play when it counted, for a change.

He also fumbled almost instantly, and the team’s miscues escalated exponentially.

Frye is the only choice at this point. The defense will keep us in this one again, and we’ll get 100 yards from every back that touches the ball. RRS’ above quote leaves it a little up in the air, though, does it not? barring any concussion-related setback….

Hope Zach is fully recovered. He’s been getting hung out to dry this year, and still hanging strong.
