Richard Seymour Exiled To The Raiders...

I would like some of that action as well sniper. 50 dollars 8 is push and I will take the under.

Do we have a wager?

I would think that Russel would be in higher regard here if he didnt have GPK and I as his receivers. Zach Miller is obviously his favorite target, for good reason, but that offense will continue to be inept until they surround him with more legitmate playmakers. I think it's unfair to lump him into the 'he stinks' category just yet. Was he worth that high of a pick? Probably not, but there is no denying that he has talent. His potential would be through the roof if he had half decent receivers on the other end of his ROCKET arm.

History is littered with one dimensional Rocket armed QB's that lacked the necessary tools to be a succesful NFL QB i.e accuracy, descision making, ability to read, etc. The funny part is many have played for the raiders. Vince Evans? Jay Schroeder?

The book is certainly still out on Russell but there are things about him that just make you wonder. He certainly made a nice throw for the go ahead td the other night. At the same time, what NFL QB couldnt make that throw? I guess he gets points for not blowing it and he certainly showed a nice touch.

The question I have with Russell is...what are you hoping he turns into?

Love the comments:

Raider QB JaMarcus Russell actually had moments where there was some
poise, which is a step forward. He had some good throws, but he’s teased
us in the past. In the grand scheme of things, he’s still not improving.

The Raiders had a serious pass rush going in the game they almost beat San Diego ... and they had a serious pass rush going in the Philly win.

I think the KC win was a road win for them. With competent qb play - they aren't a complete joke anymore.

That's the problem though, he's so far from competent is isn't even funny. When I said they could win some games this year I knew Russell was bad but underestimated how truly awful he is. With just a bad QB I think they could have been a solid team this year. With Russell they have to play exceptional everywhere else to overcome his awfulness.
