About time.

[iceminers26]

Thank God, he is a bum

[iceminers26]

Gradkowski at least gives them a chance to be somewhat competitive

[daggerkobe]

I don't think Gradkowski is the answer either..... but you're right, he at least gives you a chance.

I guess they'll be drafting another franchise QB in 2010...... hopefully it's Jimmy Clausen. Overall, a weak draft for franchise QBs.

[SBR Lou]

JaMarcus at least got what, $30M guaranteed out of it.

[iceminers26]

That's got to be the worst feeling in the world for management to feel like your drafting your franchise qb and a few years later you have to waste another high draft pick on another qb.

The Browns might be in the same boat in this year's draft.

[iceminers26]

Even though Detroit blows, at least they have a solid qb that they can build their franchise around.

[daggerkobe]

Yeah, that's what Chris Landry the Super Scout told Al Davis prior to the draft.... all he cares about is that guaranteed signing bonus.

Senile Al responded "You're wrong, he's gunna be a great playa."

[goldengoat]

[DwightShrute]

[Doc JS]

[daggerkobe]

damn have to take the raiders more serious now....not an automatic loss anymore

[Rich Boy]

Lesson learned, never draft a BLACK QB in the first round...

[podunk]

thank you rush

[frostno98]

Unfortunately for the Raiders, they don't have a Vince Young.

[jackpot269]

about time hes had more than enough time to turn his sorry azz game around no dedication in the NFL = bench warmer

[tango]

Should have tried to keep Jeff Garcia or talked him into staying, we can all see this coming. On the flip side, they only have one receiver that can catch the ball and he's a tight end, so it's not all his fault.

[tullamore]

What took so long?

[Bigmikesm]

fvck DUH Marcus

[SpectacularBid]

Thank God, he is a bum

[daggerkobe]

According to STATS LLC, Russell has completed just 2 of 34 passes that have gone more than 20 yards downfield for 85 yards, one touchdown and five interceptions.

Clausen?!!!!!! I'm telling you right now he will be lucky to be a third stringer in the NFL. He will be an absolute bust. Raiders need to stay the hell away from him.

They need to wait for Miamis quarterback in a couple years he's going to be a absolute stud in the NFL

[jsmithj88]

they shud trade this dude named cutler from chicago
i hear hes pretty good, hahaha

Lol, Clausen with a good arm and great accuracy is gonna be a bust while Jacory Harris who weighs like a buck sixty soaking wet and has a noodle arm is gonna be a stud?!? Not likely.

[Killer_Demo]

good move raiders!!!

[Shortstop]

DuMarcus.

[Enogsiwon]

Raiders should cover easily this week.. Might become a Royalty Play..

People dont realize how much this idiot russel cost them... they are a solid team..

[Dark Horse]

Rookies should prove themselves in the NFL first, instead of getting paid millions for college play. Everybody knows that by now.

[podunk]

no doubt

[ryanjep]

its about time they had the guts to do this

[HotStreak]

JaMarcus is a junior officer in the Shawn Kemp keys to success in life program.

[thechaoz]
