Re: Drama in Oakland, according to PFT, that is
A controversy in Oakland.....? Now thats a shocker.
SOUP is not any NFL teams answer to a QB fix.

Re: Drama in Oakland, according to PFT, that is
Mike Florio will not decide who the starting QB for the Raiders will be this Sunday or next Sunday.
Mike Florio's sources will not decide who the starting QB for the Raiders will be. Raiders fans and journalists who cover the team and/or the NFL will not make that decision. Interestingly, I'm not sure at all that Tom Cable will make that final decision either. I have this feeling that the gentleman upstairs in the owners' box who tends to wear monochromatic jump suits with eyeglasses on a chain will have a very loud voice in the choir here. So, unless Big Al calls a press conference and uses an overhead projector with vugraphs to explain his reasoning, I don't think anyone really knows who the starter on Sunday is gonna be.

Re: Drama in Oakland, according to PFT, that is

Re: Drama in Oakland, according to PFT, that is
I don't think the Raiders have the better team but they may have a better record because of the schedule.
The Raiders play 6 games in the AFC West - - and that is the weakest division in the AFC. And the NFC division they play is the NFC West meaning they play the Rams, Cardinals, Seahawks and Niners. There could be a few "gimmes" in that mix. Meanwhile the Redskins have six games against the NFC East (better than the AFC West) and their AFC division opponents include Indy, Houston, Tennessee and Jax. Skins' schedule is a lot tougher.

Re: Drama in Oakland, according to PFT, that is
Did anyone ever believe that? I think that people thought we could keep JC, get McNabb's production, all the while keeping our second round pick. I doubt anyone thought that Oakland would be better then us.

Re: Drama in Oakland, according to PFT, that is
It's a large fan base. We're bound to have some crazies.

Re: Drama in Oakland, according to PFT, that is
By me living in the Bay it's safe to say that I'm surrounded by Raider fans. I've told them before the season even started that Gradkowski would end up being their starting QB. Damn it's great to tell them all "I told you so". For some reason the Raiders turn into a completely different team when he's in at QB. All of the sudden the receivers are open, and they actually catch the ball once it's thrown to them. It's mortifying.

Re: Drama in Oakland, according to PFT, that is
I'm not suprised seeing as though he didn't want to stick around at workouts after we traded for Donovan. If it's true that he said that Gradkowski asked for playing time then hell, you came in and thought you were going to just waltz in and take his job. Of course he's gonna fight for it. Jason underperformed but he doesn't have the emotional attatchment to that fan base as he did with ours. So there aren't going to be that many folks in the media or in the public that will defend him. Bruce had the team going in an alright direction last year, Hue saw what Jason had to offer. As I've said many times before, the tape doesn't lie !

Re: Drama in Oakland, according to PFT, that is
I think I read over there at the Raider forums that the crowd was chanting "Bruuuuuce" at the end of the first half.
Man, that's worse than when our fans booed the team in our win against the Lambs last year.

Re: Drama in Oakland, according to PFT, that is

I said it last year. Jason Campbell was the only quarterback in the NFL that didnt have to work for his job. Jason was the anointed starter here since 2006, and no matter how poorly he played, he never had to worry about replacement. Fans got the taste that he was contributing to the team's woes when Collins played lights out in 07. No way a 5-6 skins team led by Campbell would've made the playoffs. Jason would have finished 6-10 or maybe even 5-11! Now he figures he can do the same shit in Oakland, just walk in and be the starter, not having to earn anything, or work for anything. Gradkowski deserves this job. Not only is he the better player, but he earned the job. Jason never did anything but show up and expect everything.

Re: Drama in Oakland, according to PFT, that is
Yeah, McNabb comes in and showed that he's skilled at a couple things NOT recorded by "stats". I think that because he was an Eagle, Skins fans didn't want to pay attention to the good areas of his game, and I think it's completely understandable. He's been the face of a division rival for over a decade, of course one's going to emphasize his flaws.
