This guys could Qb Oakland all 16 games and he wouldn't lead them to a score.....

What the heck is Oakland thinking going into the season with Rich Gannon almost over the hill, and without a capable backup?!

Forget the Lions, The Raiders are now officially the worst team in football!

AMEN.

 

[jaypaw]

what do you mean not capable?

In 3 years in the NFL he has played in 10 games. So you cant go by that...

In College he wasnt terrible - so there is no question he is capable at least in someones eyes.

I hate the raiders and I'm not here to stick up for them but this guy isnt that bad.

I can think of worse...

 

[THEGAME9000]

the only guy worse than this guy is the guy he replaced, oh yeah, and ryan leaf.

 

[jaypaw]

Thats funny to me that you think that - because he drove the ball pretty well down the field and very possibly could have tied the game - of not ran it in himself.

Tuisasopo has made a statement for himself and I think that you guys are nuts not seeing that.

Gannon sucks and that is no secret. He's had the team around him for a few years but it took him too long to get there.

 

[jaypaw]

One more note - I think if they had started tuiasasopo they might have won that game.

again gannon sucks

 

[jaypaw]

and lastly - I was on KC so I am happy...

WOO

I guess we will see in two weeks. Raiders @ Lions week 9. Should be an ugly one baby.

 

[jaypaw]

Why do you say that?

Is gannon definitely out?

 

[Menses]

you know what..that guy made some dumb mistakes that cost them the game but I think he played better then gannon. And that defense was stiffling...Had that back up started...I think KC looses. Oakland wins their next game...im sure of it.

 

[sphincter]

oakland definitely needs to start tui......you take the slants away from gannon and he`s helpless...the guy never was a proficient downfield passer....i`d like to know what percentage of his passing yardage was YAC(yards after the catch)?.....probably as high a percentage as most any qb......

 

[Oren1]

the Jury's still out on this guy. If he can reduce his mistakes and somehow throw more consistantly accurate passes, heh, yeah then he's be Joe Montana. I don't know, he had a poor preseason this year but showed some promise in games in the past. It's nice to see a quaterback back there that can actually scramble, adds another demension that Gannon has lost. I think they might have won with Tui in, the Raiders D played tough and they wouldn't have needed a lot of points for the W.

Guys, I created this thread after his first 2~3 series when he looked absolutely ridiculous out there. He definitely changed my opinion of him, I admit that.
