Curry has 3 tackles with the Raiders. What a turnaround! Give me a break. Guy is just bad at football.

By the way, on behalf of Raider Nation, thanks to the great Pete Carroll for Aaron Curry, dude is playing really well.

All he needed was some coaching.

Raiders fans must have some low expectations.

I am one of the ones that felt he didn’t get a fair shot. I was happy for him to get a deal with Seattle and get to start fresh.

Anyone complaining about Jackson’s consistancy in Minnesota never really paid attention to what was going on in Minnesota. Jackson was never really allowed to really take over the team. He was only put in after injurys, and Childress constantly brought in old retreads ahead of him. Minnesota never showed any real faith in Jackson, and if he blinked wrong, Chilly would bench him.

That is not to say that I think Jackson is the next Manning, or that he will miraculously start playing like a Pro-bowler. But, I think that if he can build some confidence and get confortable with some receivers he can be a decent starter. He is ok in the pocket and can move when he has to while staying quite accurate on the move (probably more accurate than he is standing in the pocket). His arm strength is underrated, but he does have some significant accuracy issues that he needs to work out.

When Seattle signed Jackson I was actually kind of rooting for them a little (not too much because my second team is the Cardinals), but then they stole Rice from us, too, and I stopped rooting for them. Still, I don’t think that all of the criticism of Jackson is fair. Some of it is, but not all.

Clearly, we’re going to be bringing in a rookie or a free agent (Matt Flynn?) in the offseason, and we’ll need a veteran backup and/or someone to stand in while the new guy gets his feet under him.

Not the greatest starting QB, but he could be a very good long-term solution as a backup.

Why Pete Carroll chose to waste most of the first half on Whitehurst last week is beyond me. Jackson came in and it was night and day better.

Bradford, Jackson, Smith=Kolb. Atleast the Hawks have a chance to get their future QB in this years draft. AZ is stuck with Kolb and SF will be drafting late in the first round to get one of the top qb’s in this years draft.

@joetoronto

If Aaron Curry was playing so well he wouldn’t have accepted a reduced salary.

Wow, that’s a real backassed way of thinking.

I can’t believe anyone would even think like this, lol.

I guess Raider fans don’t have very high standards for LBs anymore.

Using this standard, Carson Palmer did “OK” in throwing three picks in one half.
