Check out “Brewster”, talking like he actually watched the game, lol.
Nice try, hater.
_______________
Who said anything about watching the game. I challenged a comment from another poster re: people being critical of DHB for “one drop”, and provided stats to support my position.
Then provided additional stats to support the DHB vs Crabtree draft decision made by Al Davis.
Only in Raider Nation is providing facts or stats to support one’s position considered Raider hating.
Al Davis is the problem and you know it, admit it.

Too bad for the Raiders (and their fans) that Garcia didn’t stick around.

Based on comments I’ve read elsewhere, Russell still doesn’t understand why he got yanked from the game. I can’t tell if this guy is being sarcastic or if he’s simply one of the stupidest people on the planet. My guess is the second.

Russell is garbage, but to say the same for DHB when he has not gotten a chance is unfair and unrealistic. How many times has Jamarcus even thrown him the ball? He NEVER has any catches with Jamarcus, all J does is check down to slants, TE’s, and RB’s. So to call this guy crap after one drop is ridiculous, even for you Raider Haters (i.e. Florio)

Oh please!
One drop? You mean the one(s) in week 1 or week 2? Russell is horrific, no doubt. But DHB has had many chances to showcase why he was drafted in the top 10 in round 1 and has to date failed to perform. He’s had 6 catches YTD and been targeted (not sure what that means with Russell, the ball within 10 yards?) 29 times. That’s a 20% success rate. Murphy, Higgins & Watkins all have 30-33% success rates catching balls from the same bad QB. While 30% isn’t good none of them were a top 10 draft pick.
Face it, while DHB may develop into a servicable WR at some point he wasn’t even close to being a first round draft choice.
Crabtree who the Raiders passed on, had more receptions in his first game than DHB had year to date in week 7 when Crabtree played his first game.
I think a guy by the name of Al Davis was insistent on drafting Russell and DHB, could it be this guy Davis is part of the problem?

But for one day anyway, the Chiefs looked like a team assembling a competent offense with Charles, Cassel, Bowe, and Chambers.
Don’t know about that. If the Raiders could have gotten out of their own way on more than one drive they would have won that game.

Does anybody think that if JaMarcus was traded to another program he could be coached into somthing productive?

Russell was wild again with his throws yesterday. He was late, high, and low, but when he was on target guys just dropped it. He hit Hayward-Bey right in the nuts on that skinny post. That drop was inexcusable.

Draft busts? Please.
Russell can throw the ball on one knee 60 yards and Heyward-Bay can run a 4.3. It has the makings of “Montana-Rice” all over it.

The biggest problem with Russell is he doesn’t THINK he’s playing that bad. He may have talent, he may have potential, but if you can’t admit to yourself you suck, how will you ever get better? Admit you have a problem, that’s step #1

McFadden is terrible. And Fargas has a lot of heart, but not so much talent. The Raiders past 3 drafts have got to go down as the worst 3 year stretch in history, at least as far as early first rounders go.

“But for one day anyway, the Chiefs looked like a team assembling a competent offense with Charles, Cassel, Bowe, and Chambers.”
What are you smoking over there?
The Chiefs offense was 1 for 15 on 3rd down conversions.
The coach lost the last Raiders game because he chose to go for it on 4th down when the team had a chip-shot field goal. He did the same thing this time. If the Raiders weren’t so horribly inept, they’d have los this one too.
The Chiefs offense is a long way from “competent”.

Who’s Larry Johnson?
Oh, that’s right the guy that is number #2 on the Chiefs all time rushing list.
