Oakland plays its way out of the garbage dump (1 Viewer)

[JJP]

In the past 3 weeks, they've beaten the Steelers in Pitt and Cincinnati. They beat Philly earlier in the year, so they appear to be playing their way out of the garbage dump. If you are in a last man standing/suicide pool, the list of garbage dump teams is now Detroit, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Kansas City and Cleveland.

Randy Moss realized that a few years ago too. It wasn't the QB.

Well this time around it clearly is , Russel should never start a nfl game again.

It is amazing how one player really hurt that team. Move should have been made about 10 weeks ago.There is talent on that team. They just needed a somewhat competent qb. Look at how improved they are at qb with journeyman Bruce Gradowski at qb!

They have a pretty good WR crew. TE is solid. No reason to waste it with a 1st round mistake.

Gradkowski has taken the to back to back wins against playoff caliber teams. Gradkowski is a good backup. Time to take the cap hit and get on with finding a franchise QB.

The Raiders would be fools not to dump Russell after the season. Admit the mistake, take the cap hit and be done with it. I would be shocked if any team signs Russel. He is that bad.

That's way too much hyperbole. I'd rather have Russell as a minimum salary developmental QB3 than a guy like Craig Nall or Tim Brandstater.

I don't get the feeling Russell would play for a minimum salary. I really don't think he cares enough to "earn his money"

This of course assumes there's a cap next year. Might not even need to take that hit.-QG
