Why? Seems like that's a bit too soon to be benching the guy you brought in to turn the team around. It's not like they are getting killed or anything...weird :X
It's the Raiders, who knows? Gradkowski is moving the offense better, though.
Campbell has looked shaky and indecisive in games. Gradkowski had a good preseason, the team responds to him, and I like that the Raiders are pulling out stops to win their home opener against one of the softer teams in the NFL.We'll see how this affects Campbell's confidence, team chemistry, and this game in particular, but the job of an NFL coach is to win games, and it looks like Cable is making adjustments to try and do just that.ETA: TD Raiders as Grad drives the fieldWhy?

I think they realized they were hoodwinked, as has been the rest of the league and the commentariat.Campbell has always been overrated, and buffeted by excuses. Good move. TOUCHDOWN, Gradkowski to Murphy!Why? Seems like that's a bit too soon to be benching the guy you brought in to turn the team around. It's not like they are getting killed or anything...weird
Confidence was exactly what I was thinking about regarding Campbell...Washington certainly did nothing for it. He may not be a starting QB, but that's what you brought him in to do. I just think it's better to give him a chance to get acclimated to a new team/offense...then if he continues to suck, replace him permanently.Campbell has looked shaky and indecisive in games.

Campbell dealt with different offensive schemes nearly every year in Wash -- he's dealing with another one in Oakland, and his O-line is not giving him much support. He doesn't seem to do as well scrambling as Gradkowski, but I don't think being benched is going to destroy Campbell's confidence. He's gone through rough patches before. If anything, this should motivate him. It's too early in the season for Cable to make a permanent change -- it's never too early to make a game change that will help secure a needed win to get the season back on track.Confidence was exactly what I was thinking about regarding Campbell...Washington certainly did nothing for it.

He's looking decent. His running style now looks like he's watched tape of Justin Fargas.... just running into people at full speed.
DHB looks like a young bull...like Anquon Boldin
More than the stat line I'm impressed by the 13 targets - about a third of what he had all of last season.
Pretty sure that wasn't really a -33 yard reception...
