There never was a QB competition here you just wanted to create one so your list is big enough to write about. Pretty pathetic really and kind of sad that you have to stoop to lying to us.
Do you really think that Daddy Al is going to pay JaMarcus 15 Million dollars a season to sit on the bench while a 39 year old Garica (30 other teams didn’t want him) plays dink and dunk.
You don’t know Al Davis very well do you?
Nobody drinks more JaMarcus kool-aid than AD they guy could throw 40 INT’s in a season, fondle Al Davis’s niece and he would still have a job next year.
Al Davis puts guys on scholarship and they don’t leave. JaMarcus will be behind center for the Oakland Raiders for the next 4 years unless he dies, goes to jail or loses his limbs. I would bet my nutsack on it!!

well, they always have nutcase chester taylor to run the ball if purple haysoose goes down. he should have some life left in him. but he is not “explosive”…
from 2005 on after 11 games, favre blows.
composite ratings, last 5 games (quick calculation)
2008 54
2007 77 (but really stunk 2 games and 154 vs detroit)
2006 63
2005 54
2004 90
2003 100
2002 74
2001 90
2000 72
last 4 years… last 5 regular season games per year… 62
waitin for that december fade…
in 2005-07 he did have at least 1 good game in the last 5. but remember, to still get the composite rating for the last 5 games that he did, he threw some crap up there in the other games.
all his last 5 games in 08 were bad. 2 TDs. 9 pix. under 6 yards per completion. 55% complete (low for him). 1-4 record.
9-6 last 5 per 05-07.
1998 on playoff record – 3-6. 3-3 at home.

Honestly, thank god my beloved Vikings are no longer on this list!

Yeah… they fixed their QB problem by giving a 40 year old drama queen coming off of shoulder surgery $12 million.
That puts them on a list all by themselves.

You stupid drooling retard!
How do you have a job you pathetic hack!!
THERE IS NO QB COMPETITION ON OAKLAND!
Garcia missed the entire camp with a calf injury and is now competing for the 2nd string spot and losing to Gradkowski.
How F#cking stupid are you!!
Why doesn’t your headline read “NIXON WINS ELECTION!!!” Because that about how far behind the times you are.
Wake up pull your head out of your ass and then try again (to write at the 7th grade level )you idiot!!

Favre may push the Vikes back on the list, but not until November or December. That guy is Hell on wheels until Thanksgiving; after that, he’s an average QB at best (cue the stats guys to pull some December or January game in which he played well).
Hopefully a favorable late season schedule, and some RB they seem to think is pretty good, will help him out, but if he takes too many hits on that turf or wears down in any appreciable way, Childress may face the same situation as Mangini did last year: benching Favre to better the team.
Mangini made the wrong choice and was banished to Cleveland. Childress, faced with the same situation, may forever be known as the guy that benched Favre, or the guy that was banished to the UFL because he didn’t.

What the hell could the Lions possibly hope to gain by annointing Culpepper?
Win now?

“Russell got a hammerlock on the position”
Russell just tossed three picks in one half during a joint practice – one on 7-on-7s! What good is firepower if you can’t hit the target!? Big plays are nice, but ball control has ALWAYS been the most important factor in football – always will be.
QBs need brains, and Russell bought a $50,000+ diamond studded mini-jersey with his own number on it. *looks at you quizzically* C’mon…

At some point Chris Simms will be the starter for the Donks this year.
